About this episode

This episode discusses the tension of living in the 'already' but the 'not yet' of the Christian life, addressing hardships and the hope for a brighter future.

You can take this to the bank: As a Christian, your future is brighter than you can imagine. But for now? For now, we face hardships and heartache. For now, we live in ‘this present darkness.’ That’s the tension of the Christian life, isn’t it? We live in the ‘already,’ but the ‘not yet.’ Questions That We’ll Answer: A) Why does all of nature ‘groan?’ What is the cause? B) How can we be sure of a brighter tomorrow? C) How do we find strength to endure to the end? Speaker: Dr. Toby Holt
