On the Road to Assurance: No Comparison

Summary

Elder Michael Goans preaches from Romans 8:18-27 about the Christian journey toward assurance amidst suffering. He emphasizes that present sufferings are real but incomparable to the future glory awaiting believers, highlighting hope as the sustaining power through trials. The sermon contrasts the futility of life under sin with the hope of redemption and adoption as children of God. Paul’s sufferings and the groaning of creation illustrate the reality of pain, yet believers are saved by hope in eternal life and glory to come.
