ROMANS: How to Not be Ashamed of the Gospel

How do we remain unashamed of the gospel when biblical truth directly collides with modern culture and our personal preferences?In this foundational sermon on Romans 9:1–5, Lead Pastor Neil McClendon opens a multi-part walk through one of the most theological sections in all of Scripture. Pastor Neil unpacks Paul's intense, unceasing anguish for his fellow Israelites—a deep love so radical that it required a supernatural explanation. Discover why believers must never apologize for the clear word of God, how God works on a scale far beyond human comprehension, and what Israel’s seven historical privileges (including adoption, the glory, the covenants, and the promises) teach us about God's sovereign, unshakeable grace.In this episode, we cover:A Love That Requires Explanation: Learning from Paul’s willingness to be "accursed" for the sake of those who persecuted him.Not Ashamed of the Gospel: Resisting the temptation to shrink back, apologize for, or alter Scripture to fit cultural expectations.God’s Grand Scale: Embracing a God whose thoughts and ways transcend our full comprehension.The Seven Privileges of Israel: Exploring the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the law, the temple worship, the promises, and the patriarchs.Christ Over All: Affirming the central gospel truth that Jesus Christ is fully God, sovereign over creation, and worthy of eternal praise.Be sure to follow us:InstagramFacebookYoutube
