In the debate about when life begins, Psalm 139 gives a clear answer to the fact that life begins at conception. Furthermore, David attributes the creation of the fetus directly to God's creative work. The embryo in its mother's womb, then, is a wonderful creation of God that must be cared for and protected.

David cries out to God in the midst of troubles (cf. Ps. 138) and knows that only God can deliver him. Psalm 139 declares four foundational truths that the believer must remember when facing dark days. This sermon is the first of a three part series that addresses two of the four foundational truths found in this Psalm.

We often plan for unexpected things in this life, weather, health, finances, etc., but do we plan for God's will? Proverbs 16 contains to important truths that must be observed today: 1) God opposes the proud, 2) God establishes the steps of those who fear Him.

What is the main take away from Paul after one of the greatest theological treaties ever penned? Worship! Theology, when properly done, must always lead to doxology. Listen to Paul's amazing response to the greatest story ever told.

Paul reveals the mystery that he has been building towards throughout chapters 9 - 11, which is that God will save Israel after the full number of Gentiles has been brought in. God will never lose any of His elect but will be glorified in both the salvation of Jews and Gentiles.

The People of God consists of two particular people, the Jews and the Gentiles. Both peoples play an important role in the overarching plan of redemption. One is natural to God's promises (the Jews) and the other is wild (the Gentiles). In Christ, however, there is no Jew or Gentile as they all receive equal standing as God's adopted children.

Why has God allowed Israel to stumble over Jesus? Paul explains that God intended for the Jew's rejection of Christ to mean riches for the Gentiles, but he reminds the Gentiles that God has not forsaken Israel. God is jealous for Israel and Israel will be made jealous for their God.

Has God forsaken Israel? Paul's response is that God never forsakes His elect, which includes a remnant within Israel. While many Jews have rejected their Messiah, God is always faithful to maintain His remnant whom He chose before the foundation of the world.

How will they hear without a preacher? How will they preach unless they are sent? The church must be on mission and focus on developing laborers for the harvest. What are you doing to support the great commission and how can the church get back on mission?

What is the Word of Faith Paul refers to here? It is the one sermon Paul preached everywhere he traveled - the Gospel. In this passage, one will find the clearest gospel explanation in all of Scripture.
