Romans 8:18-25 - In a world where suffering abounds, we desperately need a hope that can both dignify our pain and overcome it. In this way the gospel of Jesus supplies what nothing else can, both for humanity and the rest of creation. A sermon by Cameron Heger. [Part 4 of our series “The Cross, The Spirit & The End of Death”]
Questions for discussion: 1) Do ever struggle with pessimism, cynicism, or nihilism? Why or why not? 2) Why is it important that the gospel validated the reality of our suffering? What if it didn’t? 3) Why do you think God subjected creation to futility? What was it in hope of? 4) How are humans’ and the rest of creations’ redemption connected? 5) What does it mean that the Spirit in us is the first fruits of the new creation? How does this inform our vocation in the world?
