Pastor Eric finished a major section of the letter of Romans this past Sunday. Romans 11:25-36 lays out the role of Israel at the end of God's plan of salvation. They will experience an outpouring of mercy through Christ that has never been seen before. We will be surprised. We will be humbled. We will be delighted.
On Sunday Pastor Eric reminded us that God's plan of salvation is unfolding but not in the way we expected. He is using everything for good even when all we see is bad. Our trust in His good plan makes us humble, grateful, and eager for God to save more people.
Here is the quote from James Anderson Eric mentioned in his sermon:
“A world with no fall and no salvation is altogether less God-glorifying than a world with a tragic fall but also a wondrous salvation."
On Easter Sunday, Pastor Eric preached Romans 11:1-10. Every Christian life testifies to the triumph of Jesus Christ and the faithfulness of God. He has not failed. Has not abandoned us. Though many say it's going to end, Christianity will survive. Every Sunday proves it.
