Sermon
How does Israel fit into the whole story of salvation? What should we be doing to reach them? What would we be willing to sacrifice to reach anyone with the Good News of Jesus? Pastor Ryan teaches from Romans 9:1-5 where we’ll be challenged that, “The gospel of Christ leads us to sacrifice.”
