Today we return to our message series “Romans: I Am Not Ashamed of the Gospel.” Our Scripture reading is Romans 9:1-5, and today’s message is “The Twisted Perception of Rejection.” We look at how Israel, Jewish Christians, and 21st Christians have had a pattern of assuming God has rejected them, and they, in turn, have rejected God. We review how Jesus was rejected by everyone, including his family, and the promises of God when we desire the Kingdom of God over the world system.
