The Struggle Is Real

Have you ever worked hard to move in one direction in life, only to feel pulled in another?

Sometimes we truly want to change, yet we find ourselves returning to the same fears, habits, resentments, or reactions. And sometimes the struggle is not within us. Life carries us somewhere we never wanted to go, and we begin to wonder: Where is God in all of this?

In this sermon, we turn to Paul’s candid words in Romans 7 and 8 and discover that the ongoing struggle does not mean grace has failed or that God has abandoned us. The Holy Spirit meets us in our weakness, receives even the prayers we cannot articulate, and holds us when we cannot hold ourselves together.

Faith does not promise that we will never struggle. It promises that we will never struggle alone.
