Join Pastor Stuart for the fourth lesson in our series, High Hopes. This week, we turn to Romans 5:1-5 to hear about . . . "Glorious Hope".

Since we have this standing in Christ, we not only have peace with God, but we also have assurance of God’s ongoing, steadfast love for us. God’s love for us in Christ culminates in glory. This is why we can rejoice in hope even in suffering. So in all our circumstances, let’s rejoice in the sure and certain hope of glory we have in Christ.
