Pr. Kevin preached on going from groaning to glory as we dove deeper into discovering and living out our spiritual gifts.

"And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies." -Romans 8:23

The groaning causes us to long for the glory that will come…
…vs. 22 - Outward Groans - Creation has been groaning since Genesis 3. Sin affects more that the one who is doing the action.
…vs. 19 - Visible Glory - When everything will be restored to how it was created and the curse of sin is gone.
…vs. 23 - Inner Groans- Sin also affects our inner being. The internal battle affects our ability to follow the Spirit, use our spiritual gifts, and live our lives for the Lord.
…vs. 24 - Anticipated Glory - We have this hope that He is the One knocking at the door ready to meet us.

The groaning causes us to long for Jesus' coming.

We would love to pray with you today!
