Scripture

Romans 8

About this sermon

As a result of human sin, we experience brokenness and futility in all areas of life. The world in which we live retains much of its original majesty, but it is also in a state of groaning until the day when Christ will make all things new. In this lesson, Dr. Thomas discusses the profound effects of the fall on the world and describes the glorious hope we have in Christ of a world made new.
