The Marvel of God's Mercy ~ David Platt
Okay, can I just say something? This . . . is . . .
amazing
!!! Seriously! God's sovereignty in salvation is hotly debated among professional & lay theologians. But, Scripture lays this out plainly, & you simply cannot read the Bible without seeing it
everywhere
, Old & New Testament alike. Not the least of all is Romans 9. My understanding is that some people rose up & walked out of
last week's sermon
. You may be tempted to turn away from this one, as well. However, I encourage you to be like the noble Bereans & search out the Scriptures to see if what David is saying is true. And if it is, no matter what your previous beliefs or biases were, you should humbly accept it. This is biblical Christianity. And it truly does lead one to marvel in the mercy of God.

About Us
The Boyds
The most amazing thing about both of us is that we've been saved from our sins by God through the perfect life, death, & resurrection of His only Son, Jesus Christ! We are both sinners in the process of being sanctified by our Lord so that one day we will reflect Christ perfectly. It's not always easy or fun, but it is always worth it, because nothing is more valuable than Christ!
