Romans

Are you stuck? Not just a little stuck, but so stuck you’re not even sure what to pray? In all situations, even when we don’t know how to pray, God gives grace to those who love him – grace within us and grace around us. That’s what Paul makes clear in Romans 8. Pastor Peter […]

Have you ever noticed that when you go on a long car trip, the trip home feels shorter? Everybody has struggles in life, but Christians struggle on the way home. In Romans 8, Paul describes a future reality that is better than the struggles are hard. Peter explains.
