Romans 9

In today's sermon, Pastor Michael explores Romans chapter nine, highlighting Paul's deep sorrow for his fellow Israelites who have not accepted Christ. He emphasizes that while being part of God's chosen people is significant, true salvation is rooted in personal faith in Jesus rather than ancestry. He also stresses the importance of recognizing God's sovereignty and mercy, asserting that we are accountable for our relationship with God, which cannot be based solely on our heritage or good deeds. Ultimately, the message calls us to step out of the shadows of our ancestors, embrace faith, and understand that our salvation is a personal journey with Jesus.
