Sermon series: God's Good Plan

God's remarkable grace is seen in His salvation of a chosen remnant within Israel. The apostle Paul himself, as a Jewish believer, is living proof that God is still working in Israel. The flip-side of God's grace is seen in His judgment towards those who reject the Gospel with hardened hearts. Those who have tasted and seen God's grace are called to depend on Christ and to not harden their hearts against it.

Sermon series: God's Good Plan

The gospel is the extraordinary message of God’s Son who came to live, die and rise again to save sinners. This news is spread through the ordinary means of ordinary people like us. The responses to this message can be surprising, with those we expect to respond not receiving it, and those we don’t expect to respond receiving it.

Paul tells us another reason why most of God’s Old Testament people did not believe the gospel was because they sought to get right with God through obeying the law, doing good works and being zealous for God. None of these things can really get them (and us) right with God. Only faith in the person and work of Jesus will do that.

In this detour from his main argument, the apostle Paul seeks to address objections to the doctrine of God's unconditional election. Through this text, Paul demonstrates the mercy of God that is magnified through divine election. God's sovereign choice is also indicative of His authority as the Creator God, just as a potter relates to the clay at His disposal. In the demonstration of God's justice and mercy, the riches of His glory are revealed primarily to vessels of mercy so that they may be led to repentance, faith and worship of the almighty, sovereign God.

In concluding his discussion of the issue of unbelieving Jews, Paul provides evidence from the Old Testament Prophets, Hosea and Isaiah, that the Word of God has not failed. Despite Israel deserving complete destruction, God preserved a remnant. Because mankind was undeserving of salvation to begin with, God's mercy to the elect only reveals the riches of His glory.

Sermon series: Romans 9-11: God's Good Plan

Paul shows that God is faithful to his promises to the Israel within Israel, the true Israel, the true children of God. We learn that the true children of God are spiritual, miraculous and chosen by God. Salvation is God's work from beginning to end, and this magnifies the graciousness of God's grace in Jesus Christ.

Paul begins explaining what happened to the Jewish people by showing us how deeply he feels for them. He is sincerely and deeply grieved that they do not have Christ, and yet is hopeful that they will have Christ because the gifts of God to them as a people are etched in their culture and history.

Spiritual friends are friends who are friends with each other because of their common friendship with Christ. They are committed to helping each other follow Christ. Indeed, we cannot normally follow Christ without the company of friends.

Sermon series: Leviticus: A Holy God, A Holy People

Leviticus is all about how a holy God makes sinful people holy, so that they can dwell in relationship with him. It ends with a call to live out practically the implications of all that’s taught in this book. God’s people are to live in covenant relation with him, in humble contrition before him, and in heartfelt commitment to him.

Leviticus 25 is the continuation of the observance of sacred or holy time in Israel’s national calendar which started in Leviticus 23. We see the challenge of observing the Sabbath year for the life of Israel but also the bountiful grace from God shown in the year of Jubilee. Ultimately, the observance of the year of Jubilee is to point to a greater reality that will be fulfilled in the coming of Christ.
