Road Through Romans – Episode: Romans 9 – Sovereignty of God

In this thought-provoking episode, we journey into one of the most challenging yet essential chapters of Paul’s letter to the Romans—Romans 9. After the soaring promises of Romans 8, Paul leads us into a deeply theological and sometimes uncomfortable discussion about God’s sovereign choice, human responsibility, and the mystery of salvation.Is God in control of everything, including who believes? Do we truly have free will? Why did Israel, God’s chosen people, reject the Messiah? And how can we reconcile God’s mercy with His justice?In this sermon, we wrestle with these questions—not to find easy answers, but to gain a deeper reverence for God’s glory and grace. With clarity and humility, we explore Paul's answers to four major objections regarding God's justice, mercy, and purpose in election. Listeners will be challenged to see themselves not as the center of God’s plan, but as the recipients of His unmerited grace.Whether you're familiar with theological terms like Calvinism and predestination or simply wondering how God's will and human choice fit together, this message invites you to wrestle honestly with the Word, trust God's perfect wisdom, and walk away more amazed at His mercy.
