The Daily Nugget

Today on the Daily Nugget, Mike talks about the importance of assuming good intentions with people. This is often easier with fellow believers, trusting that the Holy Spirit is at work in them, but it can still be challenging in the church and in the world. Through stories and reflections, we’re reminded how much grace and patience it takes to love others well.

Today on the Daily Nugget, Mike finishes Romans 11, beginning at verse 25, where Paul speaks of a future resurgence of faith among the Jews. This promise doesn’t mean every individual without exception, but rather that God’s elect includes both Jews and Gentiles—sometimes more from one, sometimes more from the other. It’s a reminder of God’s sovereign plan to bring His people to faith across all...

Today on the Daily Nugget, Mike looks at Romans 11:11–24, where Paul explains how the gospel has come to the Gentiles through Israel’s unbelief. We are reminded to be thankful for this incredible gift of grace and to remain rooted in faith. As those grafted into God’s family, we’re called to live it out daily and pass it on to others.

Today on the Daily Nugget, Mike begins with Romans 10:21 and moves into Romans 11:1–10. Paul shows that while many in Israel have been hardened, God has always kept a remnant—a chosen people brought to faith by His grace. Paul himself and the other apostles are living proof of this.

Today on the Daily Nugget, Mike unpacks Romans 10:14–18, where Paul emphasizes the necessity of proclaiming the gospel. Faith comes by hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ. This is why the church must be intentional about building up and sending out people to share the good news—because how can they believe if they have not heard?

Today on the Daily Nugget, Mike looks at Romans 10:5–13 and the heart of salvation. Both Jew and Gentile are saved not by works of the law, but through a changed heart of faith and the confession that Jesus is Lord. Paul reminds us that “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved,” showing the simplicity and power of the gospel for all people.

Today on the Daily Nugget, Mike looks at Romans 9:31–10:4, where Paul contrasts two paths to righteousness. The Gentiles received righteousness by faith in Jesus, while Israel stumbled by trying to earn it through the works of the law. True righteousness is not achieved by our effort, but received as a gift through Christ.

Today on the Daily Nugget, Mike reflects on Romans 9:27–30, where Paul reminds us that God has always preserved a faithful remnant who know Him and love Him. This truth should encourage us when we feel isolated or alone in our faith—God always keeps a people for Himself.
