Pastor Jack draws from Romans 8 to explore three distinct groanings revealed in Scripture: creation groaning for redemption, believers groaning for glorified bodies, and the Holy Spirit groaning in intercession. He teaches that while the first two groanings await Christ’s return, the third-Spirit-led intercessory prayer-releases God’s will into present circumstances. Pastor Jack calls the congregation to travailing prayer, illustrating this with testimonies of breakthrough in struggling churches and introducing a translation project bringing the New Testament to the Choco people of Panama.
