Is it possible that a perfectly healthy God may also be groaning in agony? Scripture: Romans 8: 22-26 “It’s All Good”…

“Why did I say that? Why did I do that? I’m glad no one can read my mind!” We often try to ignore or hide the part of us that is dark, unkind and sinful.

Love hopes all things. Love carries a vision for the excellent future of the loved one is being invited into. Sometimes the best gift we can give is to carry hope with those whose hope is failing Video mentioned in the sermon: Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:7 “Hope” preached by Randy Salt on April 15th, 2017 at the Mount Vernon Seventh-day Adventist Church in Mount Vernon, Washington
