Questions
Perhaps as significant as the questions we have as we enter into a New Year, are the questions we are living in response to. What are those guiding questions? How do they, and the way we answer them, shape us? Where do those questions, and their answers come from?
Paul articulates a number of key questions at the end of Romans 8, and then provides us with some answers. Exploring those questions and the implications of their answers is what Pastor Ken invites us to do this week in the sermon as we anticipate entering into the New Year.
If you would like to listen to the sermon again, or perhaps for the first time, you can access our sermon library by clicking here. Or, if you would like to view the livestream version of the service, it is available here.
For further reflection and study, some additional passages to read and reflect upon include:
John 3:1-31
Desire of Ages, chapter 1
Romans 8
NIV
1 What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? 33 Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34 Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?36 As it is written:
“For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”
37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
