SCRIPTURE: ROMANS 9:1-18

SERMON SERIES

A YEAR LONG STUDY OF ROMANS

Dear Church,

Mercy is what this Sunday’s sermon is all about. As we continue in the book of Romans, we begin a new section encompassed by chapters 9-11. Paul turns his attention back to Israel and the questions that arise from Israel’s rejection of the Messiah. Has God’s Word failed? Has God rejected his people? Paul’s response to all of this is to highlight God’s sovereign mercy. This mercy has been extended to any and all who put their faith in the promises of God’s Word! I cannot wait to worship with you this Sunday!

Peace,
Pastor Jeff

LENTEN PRAYER/SOUP SUPPERS

During Lent, we gather for Taize prayer in the sanctuary at 5pm on Sunday nights,
followed by our soup supper at 5:30pm in the Family Life Center.
What a wonderful turn out we had for our first Soup Supper of the season. We hope you will join us this Sunday and feel free to invite family, friends and neighbors to these special evenings together.
There is a need for more soup on March 16
as well as the following Sundays in Lent.
Thank you for using the link to sign up to provide soup or to help with set-up/clean up:
