The Gospel and Suffering Romans 8: 18-28 Summary: Life can be very hard. Sometimes we’re treated unfairly. And you may ask, “Why does God let this happen?” Well, what if God Himself suffered and through His suffering brought the greatest good we could ever hope for? Outline 1. We are to expect suffering in the present age and accept it. 2. We are to anticipate and find hope in the age to come. 3. We are to trust God’s purpose for suffering. Memory Verse: Hebrews 12:3 -- Consider Him who endured from sinners such hostility against Himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted.
