The Potter and His Promise

What happens when finite humanity questions the infinite wisdom of God? In this powerful Bible study through Romans 9, Pastor Matt Hagee examines God's sovereignty, His covenant relationship with Israel, and His plan to bring salvation to both Jews and Gentiles through Jesus Christ. Discover why Paul insists that God remains righteous in all His decisions, why God's promises to Israel still matter, and how believers today have been graciously grafted into God's redemptive plan. This message tackles difficult questions about mercy, election, free will, covenant promises, and replacement theology while revealing the unchanging faithfulness of God. If you've ever wrestled with why God chooses certain paths, how His promises endure, or what Scripture teaches about Israel and the Church, this study will encourage and challenge you.
