Are you ready for the truth? Growing up in this world there was always a splinter in my mind. I was taught a particular way of life. I didn’t see anything beyond it. Life was a happy accident. Get rich. Have a family. Pay your taxes

From Rejection To Reconciliation Series

Contributed by David Dykes on Oct 30, 2014

God has not rejected his people, the Jews. Today the gospel, the good news of Jesus Christ, and Christianity is embraced more by Gentiles (that’s who we are) than Jewish people, yet the Bible still says God is not through with the nation of Israel.

To review the entire scope of the book of Romans I am preaching through, Romans, 1-8 is ...read more
