God’s Sovereignty
Romans
Romans is the Apostle Paul’s fullest and clearest treatise on the gospel of Jesus Christ. Throughout history, this letter has opened eyes, awakened hearts, and set movements in motion. It’s both profoundly theological and deeply personal, revealing the truth about God, humanity, and salvation. John Stott rightly called Romans a manifesto of freedom in Christ - a freedom that remakes our lives, forms us into God’s people, and sends us as witnesses of Jesus in the world.

Romans 8 brings great joy, but Romans 9 opens with grief. What is Paul's grief, and where do you share it?
How does Romans 9 challenge our sense of justice and fairness? How does mercy reframe our questions?
In what way does God's sovereign mercy encourage us, in our own faith and in everyday mission?
Pray for those you know who don't yet know the riches of God's mercy.
