Sunday Sermon - No Buts About It!

An extended Sunday Sermon edition of Wilderness Wanderings!  The text is Romans 8:31-39 from the New International Version of the Bible.  Dive In discussion questions are below for further reflection! To see this sermon in the context of the worship service it comes from, find it here on YouTube.  Or, head to our website to connect with the worshiping community of Immanuel CRC: immanuelministries.ca DIVE IN QUESTIONS Is there anything that you are afraid of or anxious about right now?  Write about it here.  What causes for fear and anxiety did the church in the city of Rome have?  What about the ancient Israelites at various points through their history (like what we hear about in the book of Exodus, or Psalms)? Do you ever feel like God is absent or silent?  Do you have any doubts about God?  Take some time to write them down here, noting any that may resonate with what Pastor Anthony talked about. Why might our doubts, fears, and anxieties about life and God's absence or silence within it (separation between ourselves and God) not be reality?  What reasons for confidence does Paul give in response to our concerns? How we might we encourage each other in believing the promise that God will never leave us nor forsake us and that nothing can separate us from Christ's love? Where have you seen God recently?  Who will you share that story with?
