Groaning for Glory | Romans 8:18–28 | Pastor Rick Brown

Let's dive into "Groaning for Glory" with Rick in Romans 8:18–28.
Don't miss this opportunity to listen in, friends. I know you'll be
encouraged! Let’s examine some of the richest truths about present
suffering and future glory. This teaching is from our series
Anchored in God’s Word: A Study with Rick Brown from Godspeak
Church in Thousand Oaks, California. 1. The Glory – Romans 8:18 18
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not
worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
2. The Groaning – Romans 8:19-27 19 For the earnest expectation of
the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. 20
For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but
because of Him who subjected it in hope; 21 because the creation
itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into
the glorious liberty of the children of God. 22 For we know that
the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together
until now. 23 Not only that, but we also who have the first fruits
of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly
waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body. 24 For we
were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why
does one still hope for what he sees? 25 But if we hope for what we
do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance. 26 Likewise
the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we
should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes
intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 Now
He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is,
because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will
of God. 3. The Goodness – Romans 8:28 28 And we know that all
things work together for good to those who love God, to those who
are the called according to His purpose. 2 Cor 4:17 For our light
affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more
exceeding and eternal weight of glory Respond today. We hope you
enjoyed this message. Thanks for joining guys! Share this today!
Now, more than ever, we must anchor ourselves in the Word of God;
it will provide us with a firm foundation in an uncertain culture.
Rick reminds us to seek God in prayer, to open our Bibles to fill
our hearts with His truth, and to look up to remind ourselves that
God is with us. Get the Anchored in the Word Bible reading plan:
