Reflecting on Paul's deep sorrow and grief over the spiritual condition of his fellow Jews, and emphasizing his heartfelt longing for their salvation despite their unbelief. Romans 9:1–6, the preacher highlights the unparalleled privileges of Israel—adoption, glory, covenants, the law, worship, promises, the patriarchs, and most significantly, the incarnation of Christ—God's promises remain faithful even as many Jews rejected the gospel. The central theological affirmation is that God is not to blame for Israel's unbelief; the word of God has not failed, and divine sovereignty does not negate human responsibility. The sermon calls believers to emulate Paul's compassion by praying for the lost, including family, nation, and ethnic groups, while rejecting all racial and ethnic prejudice, grounded in the gospel's universal truth that salvation is by grace through faith in Christ alone, not by ethnicity or heritage.

In this message the truth of God's word in James Ch 4 on the brevity of our lives is opened up and applied against the backdrop of the recent senseless murders in our day, even as Jesus exemplified in Luke 13. The brevity of our lives is set before us that our eyes and heart may be fixed on the Lord who alone is the author and sustainer of Life, and who's will should be our pursuit in life. The scriptures were applied to all hearers urging their personal and ongoing need to ensure that they are ready to meet the Lord, and to be joyfully awaiting His return, with application made to the young children as well as all who were seated under the word of God, to seek the Lord now while he may be found, for today is the day of salvation.
