Genesis 41v33-45

Romans 10v14-21

That work colleague, fellow student, neighbour - if they call on the name of the Lord, they will be saved! But how can they call on someone they haven't heard about? Paul urges us to have beautiful feet as we bring Christ to people. He encourages us to pray for God to raise up workers for his harvest. He reminds us not to be hard hearted, but to believe while there is still opportunity.

Romans 10v1-13

Let's not overcomplicate the good news - confess and believe. Keep Jesus at the centre. It's possible to be sincere in religion - we see it all around us - but to be sincerely wrong. The only true religion confesses Jesus as Lord and believes he has been raised. And it is to be offered to everyone!

Romans 9v19-33

Who are you a human being to talk back to God? We need to be humble and not think we have a better idea of being God than God has! He knows all things and he is good. Our responsibility is to trust the Rock, Jesus and not think we don't need him so we trip over him. None of us will be able to out-argue God on the Day of Judgment. We will be silenced because we will realise he is right. Come to Jesus and know the mercy of God.

Romans 9v6-18

God's promises have not failed! The true children of Abraham have always been people who believe in Jesus. The only reason we have anything good is because of God's mercy! Today there is mercy available in Jesus so let's come to him, trusting in Jesus to rescue us.

Romans 9v1-5

Paul shows us that he has a heart like Jesus - so concerned that people would hear and believe the good news. Give us such hearts O Lord. Paul longs for the people of Israel to believe the good news. He challenges us to pray for the people of Israel and to use the privileges we have for God's glory.
