Sermon by Pastor David Prince
Gospel Irony
Romans 9:30-31
30 What shall we say, then? That Gentiles who did not pursue righteousness have attained it, that is, a righteousness that is by faith;
Romans 9:30
31 but that Israel who pursued a law that would lead to righteousness did not succeed in reaching that law.
Romans 9:31
Gospel Offense
Romans 9:32-33, 10:2-3
32 Why? Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as if it were based on works. They have stumbled over the stumbling stone,
Romans 9:32
33 as it is written,
“Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense;
and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.”
Romans 9:33
2 For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.
Romans 9:2
3 For, being ignorant of the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness.
Romans 9:3
Gospel Passion
Romans 10:1
1 Brothers, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved.
Romans 10:1
Gospel Freedom
Romans 10:4
4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
Romans 10:4
