Podcasts about Romans 9

Is God unjust? Did He make a mistake with you? Does He actually love you? This week we finish the questions Romans 9 forces us to wrestle with — and the answers are better than we might expect. You are not an accident. You are not forgotten. You are His workmanship, chosen to be His people. But Romans 9 ends with one final question that cuts deepest of all: are you trusting in Christ, or in yourself? Jesus is either the cornerstone you build your life on, or the stone you trip over. No one stays neutral.

We continue our journey through the book of Romans. Paul is still dealing with the question: Has God's word failed? Paul is dealing with the unbelief of the Jews and whether God's word can be trusted. In the passage Paul examines• Gentiles' salvation: Paul cites Hosea to see that this has always been the case (to turn non Israelites into Israelites) V24-26• Preservation of the Jews: Paul quotes Isiah - Israel's hope depends on God by preserving a remnant of them by his grace/. God was always going to make people who aren't "his people" his people. v27-29• Abraham's decendents are actually hose who have faith. By receiving Jesus as messiah, gentiles were made righteous.Paul uses God's word to prove that God's word hasn't failed.Join our family morning service every Sunday at 11am.New Life HaydockPhythian StreetHaydockWA11 0AH

Paul opens this chapter with a dramatic expression of grief, like Moses before him, saying he would forfeit his own salvation if it meant his fellow Israelites would be saved. That alone should tell you how personal this gets. God chose Isaac over Ishmael, Jacob over Esau, and showed mercy to whom He would show mercy. The potter has authority over the clay, and that offends us because we want God to explain Himself. Yet, God demonstrates time and again that he is not only sovereign, but compassionate and merciful toward all people—Jew and Gentile.  The Rev. Doug Griebenaw, pastor and mission advocate at KFUO Radio, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Romans 9:1–33.  Why does doing the right thing sometimes feel impossible? Why do feelings of guilt follow us even when we've been forgiven? These aren't new questions. St. Paul wrote his letter to the Romans for a church he had never visited, and yet he addressed the struggles every Christian knows firsthand: the weight of the law, the persistence of sin, the sufficiency of what God has done in Christ. Romans covers enormous ground. Paul moves from the universal problem of sin through justification by faith, the role of baptism, the war between flesh and spirit, God's faithfulness to Israel, and the shape of life together in the body of Christ. There's a reason the Reformation was born in this letter. Join us on Thy Strong Word as we open up Romans, weekdays at 11am or on-demand anytime, at KFUO.org.  Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations. Submit comments or questions to: thystrongword@kfuo.org.

Objections to God's Sovereign ElectionRomans 9:14-16 Sunday (5-31-26) night Bible Study

When life is hard and things don't make sense, the questions surface fast—is God unjust? Did He make a mistake with me? Does He actually love me? This week we sit with some of the most challenging verses in Romans and work through three of the hardest questions we ask about God. The answer Paul keeps coming back to isn't a formula or a quick fix—it's the character of God Himself. He is not unjust. He is not arbitrary. He is rich in mercy, and His steadfast love never ceases.

"The Finger in Pointing to Someone" – Romans 9:30–10:4 (5/31/2026) by

We continue our journey through the book of Romans. In today's passage we see that God's ultimate purpose of election is to make known the riches of his glory and make those riches known to his elect.We have seen previously in Chapter 9 that God elects some over others, a decision based not on works or human will but on God who has mercy.We often ask questions of God, Paul asks US a question - who are we to talk back to God. To do so is ridiculous. God is all powerful and we must be humble before himJoin our family morning service every Sunday at 11am.New Life HaydockPhythian StreetHaydockWA11 0AH

"Messy Family, Good Father" // Romans 9:14–29 // Tim Bieri May 31st, 2026 www.gracecc.net

"Spiritual privileges do not guarantee Salvation."

Questions about how God's divine prerogative in Romans 9 differs from the capriciousness of Allah, why we should bother with evangelism if God draws those whom he draws and no one has a choice, and the role of faith in the elect in Reformed theology if God guaranteed their salvation.   How is God's divine prerogative shown in Romans 9 different from the capriciousness of Allah? If God already knows who goes to Heaven, and he draws those whom he draws, then why bother with evangelism since it isn't like someone can have the choice to choose God? In Reformed theology, what's the role of faith in the elect if God guaranteed their salvation?

TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! On this 28th day of May—day 149 in our journey through the Bible—Speaker A invites you to join in as we turn our hearts and minds to the pages of Scripture. Today's episode takes us through Proverbs chapters 7 to 9, where wisdom and folly call out to us, and through Romans 9, where Paul wrestles with God's mercy, promise, and our place in his family. Along the way, Speaker A reflects on the secret of wisdom—learning to trust in God rather than leaning on our own understanding—and leads us in prayer for grace, peace, and unity in our world. Whether you're a longtime listener or new to the journey, make space today for wisdom, prayer, and the transforming grace of God. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Wisdom has a secret. And the secret is to trust in God. Don't exclude God and rely simply on your own understanding. Lean on Him. The writer here is addressing us as children. The wisdom of God will be experienced in the context of relationship with God, as family. The Creator of all things invites you to know him, to be known by him, to enter into conversation with Him. Anyone who trusts in him will never be disgraced, we're told. There's so much that I don't understand in this life about my own heart, about God. But what I am learning is that I can trust Him. And he desires that I walk with Him. His purposes are good for me, and he is always working for my best. He cares for us. Sometimes I get proud and arrogant and I begin to feel like an employee and not a son. I feel entitled and less grateful. I become more distant from my own heart, from the heart of others, the heart of God. But we saw today that wisdom cries out to hearts like that. Like a good father, Wisdom shepherds us into life and away from destruction. That's why I come to the Word each day with you, to train my heart in the way of wisdom. Not by memorizing all these dictates. I come to hear the Voice of my father, drawing me into his life and into his joy. I come because wisdom invites me to walk with him, to see myself as he does, as God's child, drawn into that relationship by no doing of my own, but simply by God's grace and his love for me. And that love for me is not exclusive to me. It's a love that extends to every human being that was ever born. No. When we trust in him, we will never be disgraced. When we trust in him, we discover his grace. We are enfolded in his grace. We are made alive and joyful in his grace. And that's a prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that's a prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL  

You don't get into God's family by race. You don't get in by works. You never have. This week we step into Romans 9 and trace a thread that runs all the way from Genesis to the cross—God's plan of salvation has always operated by grace, not bloodline or effort. Paul writes with a broken heart for his own people, and out of that grief comes one of Scripture's clearest declarations: it's not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise. Whoever you are, wherever you're from—everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.

God's Sovereign Grace in Salvation – Part 3 – Romans 9:14–29 (5/24/2026) by

This Sunday we jumped back into our series in Romans with chapter 9. This is the chapter that has ended more friendships than any other passage in Scripture. Pastors skip it. Scholars fight over it. And this Sunday, we went straight in, why? Because the Holy Spirit included it for a reason.We're going to wrestle with a question that's bigger than any theology debate, one that confronts us every single day: Does God actually get to be God? Not God as a concept we manage, not God as a consultant we call when things get rough, but God as God. Sovereign. Mysterious. Trustworthy. This passage is going to stretch us, challenge us, and honestly — if we let it — it's going to set us free. Tune into this week's message called, “Does God Get to Be God?”Join us for service online or in person every Sunday at 8am, 9:30am, 11:15am, & 5pm (C&V Service).Connect to Captivate! - https://shorturl.at/nKxQuDownload the Captivate App to Stay Connected! - https://shorturl.at/5PfXPIf you want to share how God is moving in your life through this ministry, please let us know at info@captivatesd.com!Decided To Follow Jesus?

A verse-by-verse study of Romans 9 exploring God's purpose for Israel, the tension between sovereignty and human responsibility, and why salvation has always come by grace through faith in Christ.

God is sovereign. We are responsible. He gets all the glory.

Trevor Burrow, Romans 9

In this episode Adam, Brett, and Jason continue a series studying Article 11 of the Formula of Concord which deals with the topic of God’s eternal foreknowledge by doing a Bible study on Romans 9:19-24.

"So then it depends not on human will or exertion, but on God, who has mercy." Romans 9:16

Who truly belongs in God's family? Pastor Jason Lock preaches on Romans 9:6-18, which corrects misconceptions so believers can find assurance in God's plans.

God's Sovereign Grace in Salvation – Part 1 Rev. Tyler Kenyon Romans 9:1-5 (5/10/2026)

In this episode of Beers & Bible, we continue through Romans 9 and wrestle with one of the weightiest sections in Paul's letter: God's wrath, God's mercy, and the righteousness that comes by faith.Paul reminds us that God is perfectly just in making His wrath known against sin. He does not punish the innocent or act unjustly. The Judge of all the earth always does what is right. But Romans 9 does not leave us only with wrath—it also lifts our eyes to the riches of God's glory made known in vessels of mercy. Election is not a cold doctrine to be debated in the abstract; it is a doctrine of grace that should lead us to worship.We also talk about Paul's use of Hosea and Isaiah, where those once called “not My people” are now called “My people.” The Gentiles are brought in by mercy, not merit. That warning also reaches the visible church: outward membership, baptism, or religious identity cannot save. What matters is not our righteousness, but Christ's righteousness received by faith.And, of course, we review two featured beers:Anthony: Pickleback by Fairhope BrewingMichael: Black Brevarian by Sprecher BrewingRomans 9 closes by bringing us to the stumbling stone: Christ Himself. Some stumble over grace because they want to stand on their own righteousness. But whoever believes in Him will not be put to shame.

When we consider that God “hardens hearts,” our minds may try to conceive of a defense for God or fight against the idea that the Lord would direct our steps in such a way. Paul recognizes this instinct and asks, “Is there injustice with God?” Absolutely not! If we have earned or merited anything in this life, Scripture says that our proper wages are only sin and death. We praise God that He has mercy on anyone, for what we deserve is hell and separation from a holy God for rebelling against Him. The free gift, that which is entirely undeserved, is to be made right before God the Father through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

The same gospel that inspires assurance of God's love also provokes anguish for the lost. Do you feel it?

A Message recorded at Preaching Christ Church in Kingsport, Tennessee.

Romans 9 keeps us face to face with one of the hardest truths in Scripture: God is sovereign in mercy, just in judgment, and never unrighteous in anything He does. In this episode, we talk through double predestination, Pharaoh's hardened heart, the removal of divine restraint, and the potter-and-clay picture that reminds us we are not in a position to put God on trial. Even when we cannot fully trace His ways, we can trust His character. God does not create evil in the sinner's heart, but He may justly give sinners over to the evil already there, while showing saving mercy to those He rescues by grace.We also dig into the difference between infralapsarianism and supralapsarianism, and why it matters that God's election is seen in light of fallen humanity and the glory of His grace in Christ. The big takeaway: these doctrines are not meant to keep us from preaching the gospel, but to humble us, deepen our worship, and remind us that salvation belongs to the Lord.Beers featured this week:Anthony — Death By Chocolate Cake by Martin House BrewingMichael — Cheat Day by Southern Tier Brewing

Series: OtherService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler HallWelcome to another week of You Are From God. Today we are discussing Romans 9 & 10. We enter into practical application of what the first half of Romans was preparing the readers for. Paul calls out challenges that the church in Rome is facing as Jews and Gentiles have to work to be united. We see that Jews hold themselves highly for their knowledge, and Gentiles for their zeal, and we see how the body of Christ is made of people with different skills to pursue the purpose of God as one.

Pastor Gabriel Hughes finishes preaching through Romans 9 by considering Christ as the stone of stumbling and rock of offense to those who have tried to attain their salvation by their works. Visit providencecasagrande.com for more info about our church!

In this message, we continue our Romans part II series by studying Romans 9, and learning about God's sovereignty in salvation. God is sovereign in the process of salvation, and He invites us to be part of the process. First, we must have an active burden for the lost; for those who don't know Christ. We can grow in our burden for the lost by praying for them, and by preparing ourselves to help them grow their faith. Second, we must have the knowledge of these truths about salvation: 1. That God initiates salvation (vs. 9-13). 2. God gives mercy (vs. 14-18). 3. God does everything for His glory (vs. 19-24). 4. God gives salvation (vs. 25-33). Sometimes it can be hard to see these truths because of our own arrogance, but we study the Word of God so that we can think rightly about the ways of God. You have been chosen and saved by God Almighty, and we can respond to these truths by simply coming to Christ.
