Shaped by Grace; Mark Nicholas

Romans Chapter 9 v 14-29

 

Staying in Chapter 9 of our study of Paul's letter to the church in Rome, we look at how we are shaped by grace.

 

And yet, O Lord, you are our Father. We are the clay, and you are the potter. We all are formed by your hand.

We are Chosen; with Great Status Comes Great Responsibility

Neil Watson

Romans Chapter 9 v 1-13

 

We continue to delve into Paul's letter to the church in Rome as Neil expands on the theme of being chosen by God

 

I’ll call nobodies and make them somebodies; I’ll call the unloved and make them beloved. In the place where they yelled out, “You’re nobody!” they’re calling you “God’s living children.”
