The Assurance of Divine Purpose | Beyond the Basics | Mark Swarner

In this sermon on Romans 8:28-30, Campus Pastor Mark Swarner helps explore the profound assurance that God works all things together for good for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. We'll unpack the idea that God’s plan for us is rooted in His foreknowledge, predestination, calling, justification, and ultimately glorification. This passage reassures us that nothing in our lives is random or wasted; everything is woven into God’s redemptive plan. We'll highlight how this truth can bring comfort and confidence to our congregation, knowing that God is in control and has a purposeful, loving plan for each of us.
