Groaning in the Spirit

If we’re going to be equipped for real life, we have to see how Christ actually prepares us to face the unavoidable brutalities of life. We’ve been looking at how faith in Christ concretely and profoundly changes us. And in Romans 8, we get to the subject of suffering. It’s absolutely crucial if we’re going to be equipped in any spiritual way for real life, to see how Christ helps us in our sufferings. This text gives us three things: 1) it gives us a warning about suffering, 2) it gives us three resources for suffering, and 3) it tells us how we can be sure those resources will work. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on December 10, 2006. Series: In Christ Jesus: How the Spirit Transforms Us. Scripture: Romans 8:13-27.
