On the 9th Sunday after Pentecost (also called the 9th Sunday of Ordinary Time), Pastor Scott Crowder continues a series on the book of Romans. This week we read from Romans 8:26-39.  God does not stand apart from the distress of Creation and so the Church, the Body of Christ, is not to be removed from the pain of the world. Be encouraged as you listen to this message which seeks to show how God meets us in crisis and calls us to be near to those who are going through hard times. No matter the season or trial we find ourselves in we can rejoice and say that thou art with me!
