God Is Sovereign, God Is Merciful

Summary

The sermon explores Romans 9, focusing on God's sovereignty and mercy in predestination and election. It addresses two main objections: whether God broke His promises to Israel and whether God is unrighteous in His mercy. The preacher emphasizes that God's promises are fulfilled not based on ethnicity or works but on His sovereign will, and that God's mercy is just and righteous, deserving of praise and humility. Practical applications include resting in God's providence, praising Him for salvation, and embracing humility in recognizing our helplessness apart from Christ.
