Security in the Midst of Suffering (4 of 4)

Romans 8:35-39
October 2, 2011
What an incredible journey we've been on together that began several weeks ago as we began our study of this 8th chapter of Romans. I must tell you that I never imagined that we would spend 14 sessions together unpacking this chapter.
It's like a gold miner who begins digging in an area believing there is gold .. anticipating there is gold and the more he digs, the more gold he finds. Well .. we've been digging now for 14 sessions and have unearthed some life-changing nuggets of truth.

Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written:
" For Your sake we are killed all day long;
We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter."
37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. 38 For I am persuaded t ...
