This Week | November 15 – 21, 2024

November 17 | Romans – Grasping The Gospel, Romans 9:1-5, Part 37: God’s Sovereignty, Election and Israel – Part 1 – Pastor Mark Pospisil

Synopsis: God’s Word and His promises will never fail. This is especially true when it comes to our salvation. What He promised to do, He will see through. In this section of Romans, it deals with God’s sovereignty, election, predestination, and Israel. There are huge and amazing truths and concepts but also some mysteries in this chapter. More ink has been spilled on Romans 9 than any other chapter in the book. This section is ultimately about God and His glory, as the rest of the Bible shows us. My desire and prayer is to spread a passion in our lives and hearts for God’s supremacy and glory in all things and fully grasp that His Word will never fail.

Fighter Verse: Romans 9:6 – “But it is not as though the word of God has failed.”

Core Ministries – Weekly Update

We get to continue to look at Nehemiah this week, as we get closer to wrapping up almost two years in the Old Testament! We talk about faithfulness all the time, but it’s hard to live up to. We fall short all too often. But, by God’s grace, He is faithful in all things! We’ll look at what Nehemiah said about the greatness and holiness of God and what our response to that should be!
