In this message I tried to go a little deeper than normal for an outreach crowd and dig into the context and theology of the amazing chapter of Romans 9.

The gist of it is this: Instead of asking, "Why would God hate Esau?" we should ask, "Why would God love Jacob?" And then we ask, "Why would God love me?" Pure mercy is the only explanation.

The cinemetography is a bit shaky, so just imagine there's an earthquake happening while I preach (I know, real likely in Kalamazoo, Michigan).
