What do we do with the people we love who are near the gospel but far from grace? Paul begins Romans 9 not with an argument but with anguish — and from that grief moves into some of Scripture's most challenging truths about God's mercy, His freedom, and His unfailing word. This message walks through the whole chapter: real grief as the right starting place, why God's word has not failed, and the stumbling stone that exposes what we're truly standing on. It ends where it begins — with a name, a prayer, and a promise: the one who believes in Him will never be put to shame.
