Romans 9:1–5 | Pastor Nate

In today’s message, Pastor Nate walked us through Romans 9:1–5 and revealed the deep compassion in Paul’s heart for those who had not yet come to know Christ.

Paul speaks with honesty and sincerity as he shares his great sorrow and continual anguish for his own people. His love is so strong that he would be willing to suffer personally if it meant others could experience salvation. This powerful example reminds us what Christ-like love truly looks like.

Paul also points to the many blessings God gave to Israel — adoption, glory, covenants, worship, promises, and even the lineage of Jesus Himself — yet many still missed recognizing the Messiah.

Pastor Nate challenged us to reflect on our own hearts. Do we carry that same burden for the lost? Do we pray faithfully, love intentionally, and share boldly?

May we grow in compassion, trust God’s promises, and remain committed to pointing others to the hope found in Jesus.
