  • Sunday School this Week! - 📖 In Romans 8:14-27, Paul declared an encouraging truth—those adopted into the family of God are indwelt with His Spirit. The indwelling of the Holy Spirit enables believers to live a victorious life in Christ on earth while looking forward to an eternal future with Him. As believers we live in hope for a promise to come. As you prepare for our discussion this week, consider how this hope helps you in times of adversity. We hope to see you this week as we dive into this session! Romans Chapter 5-16 Overview
