Romans Ch 5 (Stepping Stones to Hope)

There are a lot of people in the world who have no hope—overwhelmed with grief, or pain, or sorrow, or anxiety—regretting the past, uncertain about the present, or worrying about the future. But God offers us a HOPE that the world does not have. In Romans 5, Paul tells us that there is a path toward hope that begins with suffering and includes perseverance and character. Pastor Gary explains each of these steps toward HOPE in today’s study from Romans 5.
