3/8/15 Pastor David preached from Romans 5:1 Standing in Grace.
Tribulation - not natural to praise, glory, give thanksgiving in tribulation, sufferings, brokenness, pain,or heartbreak.
Patience - abide under, ability to stay under pressure, endurance, fortitude. In a marathon, stick with it, bear it.
Hope - an expectation, a certainty.
Gods got a plan, wants to use us to be a lighthouse. God wants to do something with us. Wants to build stick-to-it-ness in us. Ability to stand under adversity.
We need passion for true prayer. Need anguish not just concern.
