Why do we spend so much of our lives trying to prove ourselves? In Romans 9:30–10:13, Paul exposes the irony of Israel's pursuit of righteousness: they were zealous for God but missed the righteousness offered through faith in Christ by insisting on establishing righteousness on their own terms. In a similar sense, what if our tendency toward self-salvation, self-justification, and self-righteousness are the very things that hinder us from experiencing more of God's grace and love? Only when we stop trying to establish our own righteousness, can we finally find the freedom to live righteously. With nothing to hide, prove, and lose.

Our Aversion to God’s Sovereignty
Christian Lee (2026 Oct 25, Sunday at Storyline Seoul)
Why do we insist on and defend our own power of self determination but struggle so much when we hear about God's freedom to do as he pleases? In Romans 9:14–29, Paul teaches on the sovereignty of God to explain how God is not unjust in any way when he chooses to have mercy on whom he wills. Our aversion and offense exposes our deep desire for control, our presumption to question God on our terms, and our instinct to believe we deserve God’s favor. Our aversion to God’s sovereignty may ultimately signal how deeply we want to be our own saviors. But the gospel invites us to lay down our pride, honor God for his sovereignty, and trust the One who faithfully fulfills all his promises in surprising and unexpected ways.

The Unpredictable Fulfillment of God’s Promises
Christian Lee (2026 Oct 18, Sunday at Storyline Seoul)
What do you do when it looks like God has broken his promises? In Romans 9:1–13, Paul confronts a heartbreaking reality: many of his Jewish brethren who received God's promises have rejected Jesus, the Messiah those promises pointed toward. Has God's word failed? Through the stories of Isaac and Ishmael, Jacob and Esau, Paul reveals that God's promises have never rested on human effort, religious heritage, or personal merit, but on his sovereign grace. Join us as we explore the unpredictable fulfillment of God's promises and what it means to trust him when his ways don't make sense.
