Creation Groaning for the Revelation of the Sons of God
Pastor Paul van Engelenhoven
- Sermon Theme: In Romans 8:18–22, Paul explains that the creation is groaning for the revelation of the sons of God. For, as Paul explains, creation is subjected to futility until the day that it is set free from this burden. This week, we will consider these verses and see how the rest of creation is longing for the fulfillment of God’s plan.
