Romans 9 is one of the most challenging passages in the New Testament, and it confronts us with difficult questions about God’s sovereignty, His freedom, His justice, and His grace.

What does Romans 8:28 actually mean when life is painful?In this message from Romans 8:26-39, we explore how God meets believers in weakness, how the Holy Spirit intercedes when we do not know what to pray, and how God uses even suffering to conform His children to the image of Christ.Romans 8:28 is not a promise that every circumstance is good or that we will always receive the outcome we desire. It is the assurance that God is working through every part of our story according to His eternal purpose. Even when we cannot understand how the pieces fit together, we can trust the One who sees the entire story.
