This Week | November 8 – 14, 2024

November 10 | Romans – Grasping The Gospel, Romans 9:1-5, Part 36: The Heart for the Lost – Pastor Mark Pospisil

Synopsis: There is a shift in the book of Romans starting at chapter 9. This part of Romans focuses on God’s sovereignty, faithfulness, and His plan for the Jewish people. It starts with an amazing look at the heart we should have for the lost. The Lord has placed us in this current moment for a reason and He has a plan. There are so many people around us that need Jesus. We are called to love others, invite, show and share our faith. We have the best news in the world! This Sunday, we are going to see how to have a heart for the lost and how to share our faith with others.

Fighter Verse: Romans 10:1 – Brothers, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved.”
