Summary

With Israel frequently in the headlines—and often at the center of controversy and endless debate—many Christians are left wondering how to respond, what to believe, and where to find biblical clarity. To help us answer these questions, we turn to Romans 9–11, where Paul explains the role of Israel in God’s timeline, what being His chosen people actually means, and the past, present, and prophetic implications found in the Scripture.

0:00.0	Well, let's get to it. Why don't you turn to Romans? And we'll start in Romans 2. We'll eventually
0:05.4	get to Romans 9, but Romans 2 for right now. I'd like to welcome our Hillsborough campus and our
0:11.6	McMinville campus. We're glad to have you all with us. And what an honor to be there with you guys
0:16.0	going through the Bible together. So welcome to every one of you. Well, let's get to it. Romans. Chapter 2 is where we're

1:27.3	well, I don't get that.
1:28.1	Well, if you don't get that, what's happening is there's a younger generation of millennials and Gen Ziers
1:32.0	that are starting to say, Israel, smizrael, whatever.
1:35.9	They're not God's chosen people.
1:37.8	Look at them.
