Presented at Curwensville Alliance on 6/7/26 by Rev Scott Ream.
Rev Scott Ream takes us through Romans 8 to show what God wants you to know in your hardest season with 5 truths.
God sees you. You are known, and you are His! God didn’t look away. He saw it. He saw all of it.
God didn’t do this. Creation is groaning. This is not God’s design. God built a garden. Sin broke it. And as a result everything on this planet is broken. On earth, God’s will is often resisted. God’s seeing is not the same as God’s causing.
God grieves with you. The Spirit of God groans with us. God could eliminate all evil. But to do that, He would need to eliminate us. The Spirit groans. Creation groans. We groan. And the Spirit groans with us.
Nothing is wasted. God works in all things. Not all things are good. Romans 8:28 does not say everything that happens is good. It does not say everything that happens is God’s will. It says God works in all things. Redemption doesn’t erase the wound. It give the wound a future.
God won’t let go. No condemnation. No separation. Nothing. Your pain is not God’s punishment. God is not keeping score.
If God is for us, who can be against us. One day the table will be full again. Every seat filled. Every person present. No more empty chairs.
