Our Place by Pastor Paul Dickerson

It sounds obvious to us today that the love of God in Jesus is for all people. “Of course God loves me! Why wouldn’t he?” But it wasn’t always this way. The Bible describes an order within salvation history in which God chooses some and not others so that he might bestow his grace on all. In light of history, how are we to understand our place in the God’s family? How did we get in and why are we here? 

“For God has consigned all to disobedience, that he may have mercy on all” – Romans 11:32

Isaiah 56:6-8; Romans 11:1-2a, 11-14, 28-32; Matthew 15:21-28
