"Hope-Filled Groaning" - Sermon Text: Romans 8:18-27 – Rev. William Mueller

All it took was one act of rebellion for everything to be thrown off kilter. The Apostle Paul reminds us that all of creation is groaning as in the pains of childbirth. And our groans add to this sad chorus! But there is Good News! Not only does the Spirit intercede for us, but there is a coming glory to be revealed for us that makes our present sufferings pale in comparison.
