  PASSAGE

  Romans 8:18-30

Suffering isn’t the end of the story. In Romans 8, Paul reminds us that our present pain, no matter how deep, isn’t even worth comparing to the glory that’s coming. From creation itself to our own hearts, everything is groaning for redemption. But this isn’t a groan of death; it’s the pain of labor. Something new is being born.

This week, Pastor Jason Clarke reminds us that even when life feels broken, frustrating, or overwhelming, God is still at work. The Holy Spirit meets us right in our weakness, praying for us when we don’t even know what to say. God isn’t just bringing beauty out of ashes. He is using every single hardship to shape us into the image of Jesus.

Your pain has a purpose. God’s using it to shape something lasting in you.
