22: Romans 8:12-25

This week, Pastor Clay welcomes back a familiar voice, David Anderson, for a deep dive into a powerful section of scripture: Romans 8. Often called the "Mount Everest of the Bible," this passage explores the incredible transformation believers experience through the Holy Spirit. David and Pastor Clay unpack the profound shift in identity we receive as adopted children of God, granting us an intimate relationship where we can cry out, "Abba, Father." They also delve into the "already but not yet" reality of our faith, examining the tension between present suffering and the future glory that awaits us as fellow heirs with Christ. Join them as they discuss how the Holy Spirit changes not only who we are but also the hope we hold onto, even amidst a world subjected to futility, eagerly awaiting its own redemption.
