Still cold. But Spring&#8217;s a coming! \ud83d\ude42<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\">The Jews had forgotten that the gospel of God is the Gospel of GOD!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\">They had it all but squandered the opportunity. God\u2019s chosen people, richly blessed, but now as a whole spiritually bankrupt.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">They were like lottery winners who four years later are broke and in debt. Or the former professional football player who made millions and rose to the top of his sport but now has to sell his Super Bowl ring so he can eat.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">So how did they \u201close it\u201d? How could something like this happen?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">They could not accept a salvation that came by grace\u00a0through faith. Salvation apart from the works of the law was inconceivable to them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Do you know what mercy and grace tell us? Mercy and grace tell us that we can\u2019t do it. In fact, we can\u2019t even think it. Mercy and grace mean that only God, and God alone, could come up with such an idea for our salvation and carry it out.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\">Mercy and grace should not be inconceivable in our minds.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\">Thinking that we could work for the spiritual riches of God in Christ Jesus. That is what is ludicrous. Believing that God would offer a salvation so low, so pitiful, that we, mere sinful humans could somehow do good enough, be good enough, run fast enough to earn his salvation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">That is what should be inconceivable to us. The Jews in Paul\u2019s day did not realize this, and sometimes we don\u2019t either.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Message Title: The Children of Promise!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Message Text: Romans 9:1-18<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\"><a href=\"http:\/\/dave.dlscott.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/PDF-23-The-Children-of-the-Promise-II-Romans-9-1-18-ffc-dave-scott-021515-STUDY-SHEET-ONE.pdf\">PDF 23 The Children of the Promise II : Romans 9-1-18 : ffc : dave scott : 021515 STUDY SHEET ONE<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><a href=\"http:\/\/dave.dlscott.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/PDF-23-The-Children-of-the-Promise-II-Romans-9-1-18-ffc-dave-scott-021515-STUDY-SHEET-TWO.pdf\">PDF 23 The Children of the Promise II : Romans 9-1-18 : ffc : dave scott : 021515 : STUDY SHEET TWO<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dave.dlscott.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/none-of-the-rulers-understood.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-2259 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dave.dlscott.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/none-of-the-rulers-understood.png?resize=391%2C301\" alt=\"none of the rulers understood\" width=\"391\" height=\"301\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dave.dlscott.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/none-of-the-rulers-understood.png?w=391&amp;ssl=1 391w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dave.dlscott.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/none-of-the-rulers-understood.png?resize=300%2C231&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 391px) 100vw, 391px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello Everyone, Still winter.
