Episode Details

Life does not always make sense, but God is always at work. In this message from Romans 8:28-30, Pastor Chris Teien explains how God works through every circumstance to accomplish His purposes and shape believers into the likeness of Jesus Christ.

God does not promise that every experience will be good, but He does promise to work all things together for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. As we trust His plan, submit to His work in our lives, and rest in His faithfulness, we can follow Him confidently through every season.

IN THIS MESSAGE

#1 GOD IS WORKING IN ALL THINGS

God is continually at work in every circumstance of the believer’s life. Even when we cannot understand what He is doing, we can trust that He is accomplishing His purposes and will remain with us through every difficulty. (Isaiah 43:2; Romans 8:28; Ephesians 1:11)

#2 GOD IS SHAPING YOU TO BE LIKE CHRIST

God’s ultimate purpose is not merely our comfort but our Christlikeness. Through joys, disappointments, blessings, and trials, He is transforming believers into the image of His Son and preparing them for eternal glory. (Romans 8:29; 2 Corinthians 4:17-18; 1 John 3:2)

#3 GOD IS FAITHFUL FROM BEGINNING TO END

The God who calls, justifies, and promises to glorify His people will faithfully complete His work. Our salvation rests not in our performance but in His grace, Christ’s finished work, and God’s unchanging promises. (John 1:12; Romans 5:1; Romans 8:30)

Trust God’s heart even when you cannot understand His plan. Walk faithfully with Him each day, knowing that He is working for your good and shaping you to become more like Jesus Christ.
