Roman chapter 8 again we have been really plugging along slowly but deeply in this section of scripture

and by God's grace will get down to verse 30 today but uh...

Romans chapter 8 i'll start in verse 26 if you'll read picking it up in

verse 27 this is Paul the apostle writing from the Greek city of Corinth Greece

to Rome but what's interesting is that he's not writing to the

Church at Rome. A lot of the epistles say to the Church at Galatia or to the

church at Kallossi. This is different. He's writing to the Romans and it is this.

It is a massive gathering of various independent small groups,

some larger than others,

throughout the Roman region,

and the epicenter being Rome itself.

So it's not to a particular church,

it is to all those who are of the church in the area of Rome.

Making it short, he's right into a bunch of Italians.

Likewise, the spirit also himself in our weaknesses or helps in our weaknesses, for we do not know

what we should pray for as we ought, but the spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be

uttered.

Now be the surgeons of hearts, and those of what mind the spirit is because he makes intercession for the Saints

according to the will of God. And we know that all things work together for good. To those who love God and to those you're called

according to his purpose.

For whom he for knew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his son.

Had he might be the firstborn among many brethren?
