Preached July 24, 2022 by Ryan Pelton - Romans 8:26-30

“A Song of God's Revelation” on Psalm 19, by Scott MacDougall. Sunday, July 17tth

Romans 14:1-23, “Between the Weak and the Strong.” Paul's teaching from Romans 12 and beyond is summarized and focused on relationships in a variety of contexts. Relationships inside the church, outside the church, and with the state. Now Paul wants to teach us how to love each other when we have different views and points of conscious. The church in Rome is divided over “disputable” issues. Frankly, issues, that shouldn't divide them. The question Paul addresses is: how do we treat one another when we disagree on issues? When our disagreements aren't about a license to sin or heresy, and merely cultural differences, what are we to do? Well, in good Pauline fashion, he always brings us back to the gospel, applied to all issues and situations.

Chapters 9-11 are some of the most controversial in all of Scripture. Dividing the church between Arminian and Calvinist theology. Dividing the church between man’s free will and God’s sovereign election and grace. But what did Paul have in mind when he wrote these chapters of Romans? Did he use these constructs, or was he after something else? The chapters of 9-11 appear to come out of nowhere. Paul writes Romans 8 reassuring us that nothing can separate us from God’s love. Then it seems Israel is not part of the family. Do these promises of assurance not apply to Israel? What does this mean? Is Paul contradicting himself or is he trying to teach us another lesson about how the gospel works? Despite the appearance of much of Israel being outside the family of God, God is up to something. And it includes Israel and all people (Gentiles). How will we respond? How will we see God’s unrelenting mercy and electing grace? What is the point of it all? Is God unjust and choosing people at random in human history, or doing something else?

What does it look like to continually cast our troubles and problems and complaints on God?

The imagery of a shepherd is a powerful metaphor for understanding what God is up to in our lives, and how he leads us daily

How do we live as a living sacrifice?

Even in the worst famines, plagues, and disasters, God continues to lavish us with is grace and bring us into a family and home that will last forever. A home without suffering, persecution, or fear.

Death does not have the last say. We will experience the fullness of God as the old world falls away.

All of creation is being restored through Christ, and we can now claim familial status thanks to his intercession. But what does that mean for us now?
