Sunday on Monday - May 11th, 2026
This past Sunday, we stood with Paul on what we called “the summit of assurance” in Romans 8:31–39.
After climbing through all the glorious truths of Romans 5–8, Paul bursts into worship-filled confidence:
“If God is for us, who can be against us?”
Romans 8 reminds us that our hope does not rest in the strength of our grip on God, but in the strength of His grip on us. Because of Christ, no accusation can ultimately stick, no condemnation remains, and nothing in all creation can separate God’s children from His love.
That kind of assurance produces worship. And worshipful people become increasingly generous people.
On Sunday, I encouraged everyone to literally write down one name — someone who needs to personally experience the love of God through us this week.
Maybe that person needs:
- encouragement,
- a meal
- a phone call
- your presence
- or simply to know someone cares.
Don’t ignore the prompting of the Holy Spirit.
Assurance leads to generosity because when we stop fearing that God will withhold from us, we become freer to stop withholding from others.
So this week, keep looking to Jesus.
And when the rope feels heavy, remember: your hope is not ultimately in the strength of your grip on God, but in the strength of His grip on you.
