We’re heading into some historically rough seas in Romans.  Rough seas can capsize you, or they can make you a better sailor.  Calm seas may be pleasant, but you don’t learn about the power and dynamics of the ocean that way.  Romans 9-11 have a lot of hot topics in them: predestination, missions, and the nature of Israel.  We’ll chart a course straight through these chapters, and as long as we keep our eyes set on the sure star of God’s mercy, He will bless our journey and we will know Him better for it.
