Present Suffering and Future Glory

, Media, Romans, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

Romans

We continue our study of the most influential, life-changing, worldview-shaping letter ever written- Romans. It is a timeless, divinely-inspired masterpiece on the joy-filled-life-as-it-should-be freedom found in Jesus. In Rom. 8:18-25, the Apostle Paul shows how our understanding of the future profoundly shapes our present especially in suffering. Our present sufferings are not worth comparing to the glory that will be revealed. It is coming. Trust in it. Wait for it.

Peter’s letter is theologically weighty, yet simultaneously down-to-earth, and is filled fresh encouragements to wholehearted faithfulness while living in exile. Today, in 1 Peter 4:1-6, Peter seeks to help us persevere through unjust suffering we may encounter, as followers of Jesus, by getting us to consider how to arm ourselves—by how we think about suffering.
