What’s All The Groaning?

Romans chapter 8 is considered by many to be the crown jewel of any single chapter in all the Bible as it opens with the proclamation that there is no condemnation for those that are in Christ Jesus and it ends with the declaration that there is no separation from God for those who are in Christ Jesus. If the gospel is good news this is great news! And yet right in the middle of the chapter the apostle Paul reminds us that pain and sorrow and suffering are all part of being members of God’s family. I titled todays message based on the text, “What’s all the groaning?”
