Sermon B-Sides - E143 - Has God Rejected His People? - Romans 9

What about the Jews who rejected Christ—has God broken His promises? In this episode of Sermon B-Sides, Pastor Jon and Pastor Rusten unpack Romans 9, diving into the doctrine of election, the distinction between ethnic Israel and true Israel, and Paul’s anguished heart for his kinsmen. They tackle the potter and clay, Pharaoh’s hardening, and why God’s sovereign choice never undermines human responsibility or His faithfulness. If God elects some and not others, what does that mean for hope, prayer, and unity in the church today?

We hope you enjoy, and as usual, if you have any questions for Sermon B-Sides or anything else, email us at pastor@coramdeochurch.org.
