Even if sometimes you feel small and insignificant, you are a part of a majestic plan that God has set in motion! This week, Senior Pastor Scott Hobbs takes us to Romans 11 where we begin to see the unfolding of the future for the Jewish people and for us and we find that the journey here is vitally important to both us and them. Here we find that we are invited into something bigger, and the Jewish people's story matters and ours to them.

September 8, 2024 • Philippians 3:4–11, Romans 8:28–30, Romans 10, John 5:39–40

Have you ever felt like sometimes people are in the right ball park of God's Truth but somehow missing the game? This is exactly the feeling that we get from Paul as this week we tackle Romans 10. Paul in the previous chapter is so heartbroken for his people and vigilant in letting them know the Truth of what Jesus has done for them so they might walk in hope of tomorrow. Senior Pastor Scott Hobbs brought the Word this week with a challenge for each of us to have a heart like Paul's. If we have heard the call of the Father then we have a choice to accept His gift and then go and tell others of the hope that they might have in Him. This heart for people is key, because it is the heart of Jesus.

Elder Bill Whamond • Isaiah 45:19, Isaiah 55:8–9, Acts 13:48, Romans 9:1—10:1, John 1:12

This week, Elder Bill Whamond shared the Word with his thorough perspective on Romans 9, where we read of a heartbroken Paul, over his people in Israel. The chapter tackles some hard issues, but we will begin to see the Lord's mercy weaved in every detail of our story and the story of mankind. His mercy has made a way for every part of our stories to be redeemed, the love of Our Father poured out for us.

Each of us have a perspective on life that might be different based on our stories. How we respond to others around us is often filtered through these seasons that we've walked in. If we are walking in our own strength, we can even sometimes start measuring how good we are by how bad we think someone else is. If you have joined us for this series of Romans, you know that it is true that all of us have sinned and fallen short yet we can place our faith in Jesus and find no condemnation because He has conquered the most important thing: death. Everything else is less. This perspective changes everything. It changes the way we think, the way we approach our hurts and fears, and the way we respond to others. What is in us that causes us still to hope and seek first His Kingdom? It's this one important phrase: "if God is for us, who can be against us?"
