  Romans 8: No Separation 24.05.2026 36min

  We’ve reached the end of our series on the chapter of Romans 8 and it’s time to add the final ingredient to our theological sandwich. Paul begins this chapter with the idea that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ, and ends with the profound promise that there is no separation from the love of God. We are held securely in His hands, never to be taken away. Paul was convinced of this truth, but many of us wrestle to believe it, especially when trouble, hardship, suffering, and fear make God feel distant. Today, we’ll discover why the love of Christ is stronger than anything that threatens to separate us.
