The Twelfth Sunday after Pentecost

The Twelfth Sunday after Pentecost

What are we to think about God’s sovereignty? Because God is sovereign are we to resign to a mechanical determinism? In this week’s message on Romans 11:25-36, Fr. Michael Novotny helps us understand these questions, especially as they relate to the mystery of salvation for Jews and Gentiles alike. For the Apostle Paul, God’s sovereignty led not to determinism, but to doxology.

The Third Sunday after Pentecost

What did St. Paul mean when he said that we were enemies of God (Rom. 5:10)? What does Adam’s sin have to do with our relationship with God? This week’s message continues our series in the Book of Romans. Fr. Michael explains our sinful nature and corporate guilt before a holy God. It is only through the free gift of grace in Jesus Christ that we can be reconciled to our heavenly Father.
