In this sermon podcast, Pastor Dale Partridge begins a deep dive into Romans 11, examining the doctrine of divine election and God's sovereignty over salvation. He addresses the tension between God's promises to Israel and the widespread rejection of Christ by the Jewish people. Pastor Dale explains that not all who are born of Israel are part of the elect remnant, and that God's plan has always included saving a foreknown and predestined group from ethnic Israel. Through this exploration, he highlights the profound truth that salvation rests not on human effort but on God's grace and sovereign choice, ultimately pointing to Christ as the fulfillment of God's promises.
