God's Promises

Pastor Bill Bush · Feb 13, 2022

Romans 8 calls followers of Christ to view life's suffering not through a lens of victimhood but through the lens of victory — because God has already acted on our behalf. By remembering His promises (suffering is temporary, heaven is real, the Holy Spirit intercedes for us), responding to His purpose (being conformed to the image of Jesus), and refusing to surrender (pressing on in what God has called us to do until our last breath), we can walk through pain and struggle as more than conquerors — not because life gets easy, but because the battle has already been won at the cross.

Using the life of Abraham in Genesis 15, Pastor Daniel Goulding argues that the church today is dangerously distracted — looking down at circumstances, politics, and disappointments instead of up at God's eternal promises. Just as God drew a fearful, doubting Abraham outside his tent and told him to look up at the stars, God calls us to break free from a settling, going-through-the-motions faith and to trust His multiplication-minded, generational purposes. The cross — the ultimate blood-oath covenant fulfilled by Jesus alone — is our eternal proof that God is faithful, and it gives us every reason to lift our eyes again.
