DIGGING DEEPER…
How much do you remember? Fill in the blanks from the box below.
Last week Pastor Brad Hill preached on Romans 9. In this chapter, the Apostle Paul expresses his deep love for Israel.
The Apostle Paul also expresses a question that baffles him: How in the world is this dearly-loved nation still not following God?
In spite of the fact that they have been given God’s covenant, his laws, his glory, and the Messiah, they continued to reject Him.
They were striving to follow God on their own , trusting in themselves rather than God.
Enter, the Gentiles, about whom God says: “those who were not my people, I will now call my people.”
By God’s grace alone, we who had no “place at the table” have been invited to the banquet!
When we surrender to Christ, we _______ our absolute unworthiness, and place our complete trust in the finished work of Christ on the cross as the only means of redemption. By grace alone!
Pastor Brad explained that we are not chosen by God simply to have an ________destiny with Him. We are chosen to have a purpose NOW – to walk with Jesus NOW!
