Wishin', Hopin', Prayin' - The Longing of Creation (Romans 8:18-27)

In this Romans text, everybody is groaning—even the Holy Spirit! Is this groaning a collective venting session or does it point to something more? And what is our response to such deep-seated longing? How in the world does hope play into the pain we are feeling now? How do we pray when our whole body aches for deliverance? How do we hope when tragedy strikes? How do we learn to want what God wants? In this worship series, we examine moments of longing in scripture: from the earliest days of the Hebrew people to the last book in the Bible, we will glean wisdom and fortitude from the stories of our faith forebears on what it means to long for God in a chaotic world.
