Bearing Our CrossesA SERMON BASED ON Romans 5:1-11

It doesn’t take long to realize that we have certain crosses to bear in this life as a result of our Christian faith. We deal with persecution and hatred. We are forced to make difficult decisions that others don’t have to make. It makes us ask the question: why? Why would God give us these crosses? Is it because he needs to see more from us? Is it to punish us? Or does he have so much more in mind for us?
