“Waiting for What Matters Most” - 5pm The River Service

Jul 19, 2026 • The Rev. Billy Cerveny

This sermon teaches that the Christian life is not about escaping a broken world but about living with hope as God’s work of new creation is already breaking into the present through Jesus Christ. It explains that all creation groans under the effects of sin alongside humanity, yet those groanings are not signs of defeat but birth pains pointing toward the day when God will fully restore heaven and earth into one glorious kingdom. Drawing from Romans 8, the message encourages believers to endure suffering with perseverance by remembering that every act of faithfulness, love, service, and obedience participates in God’s ongoing work of renewal and has eternal significance. Ultimately, the sermon calls Christians to wait with confident hope, knowing that the glory to come far outweighs present suffering and that God is making all things new.
