Before your seated greet someone next to you and tell them your glad they came today.
Good morning!
Welcome to Freedom Chapel.
My name is Pastor Terry and I am the lead Pastor here at Freedom Chapel.
If you are new with us this this morning thank you for joining us.
Please fill out the welcome card in your bulletin or online by using the QR Code.
If you are sitting near an offering bucket would you please grab that we are going to take up this weeks Tithes and Offerings.
We have three ways to give Online with the QR Code or Church Center App, In the Bucket, or in the black boxes at the back of the room.
No matter what way you choose we want to thank you for your continued faithfulness in giving.
God is doing great things through your giving.
Let’s pray!
It is not lost on me what affords us the ability to meet freely here week after week.
What allows me the freedom to speak my mind and profess my faith with out worry of being arrested or really facing condemnation.
The freedom we experience here in what I still believe is the greatest place to live in all the world is bought and paid for on the backs of those men and women who have served our country in the armed forces.
This past Friday was veterans day and if you are a veteran in attendance this morning would you please stand.
Ladies and Gentlemen can we show our appreciation for our veterans this morning.
Thank you.

I am excited about Wednesday nights.

Next week we celebrate our Church Family Thanksgiving Dinner.
This is an amazing opportunity to invite your unchurched FRANS.
With that I have an important ask of everyone.
Move up an move in.
I already know some of you are going to say that’s uncomfortable to you but If I were to give you tickets........
I can not wait to start this years Christmas Series Titles The Ghosts of Christmas Past.
For some of you the holidays are the greatest time of year for others it is a time marked with disappointment and hurt.
Beginning December 4th we are going to look at three areas of life that Haunt so many and then discover new ways to overcome the Ghosts of Christmas Past with God’s Help.
If you have your Bibles Please turn with me to Roman’s Chapter 9 beginning in Verse 6.
The title of Today’s message is :
God’s Word Never Fails
Let’s pray and then jump right in.
As I began to study this chapter of Romans I honestly got a little overwhelmed.
During my sabbatical Pastor Rustan and Pastor David got some really good material to teach through.
Paul wrote some really good stuff in Chapter 8. Then we get to Chapter 9 and it is kind of like
HUH?
As I have studied this chapter I have learned that some scholars believe that chapter 9-11 were actually a side note that Paul had written and the scribes sandwiched it between Chapters 8 and 12.
After looking through it more I tend to disagree with that thought but can understand why this is a section that a lot of people move right past without a lot of thought.
However we know this about scripture.
The Holy Spirit inspired Paul to write this with a purpose.
So let’s discover that purpose together today the same way we have done it through the entirety of this study.
Verse by verse peace by peace.
This one is going to be a little deep and a little uncomfortable.
In Chapter 9 we find Paul helping the reader work out some questions they have regarding all that he has written.
What About the Jews.
The Vast majority of them had not accepted Christ as their messiah.
What about them.
You read this and naturally you can begin to wonder.
What about the Jews.
They where God’s people.
He Chose them yet they didn’t get it and now they don’t get the reward of being his people.
How can I trust that His promise will count me in?
1.God’s Promises are For His People.
Romans 9:7a (ESV)
7 and not all are children of Abraham because they are his offspring, but
Abraham was promised a son through Sarah but.........
When Sarah couldn’t have a child they chose to work around God’s plan and Abraham had
Ishmael through Hagar
He then had Issac through Sarah.
and six other sons after Sarah died.
What Paul is saying is that just because you came from the line of Abraham does not mean you are a child of the promise.
Abraham is laughing because he knows that the only way Issac is going to happen is if God does a miracle.
It isn’t going to be because of any ability in He or Sarah.
It is going to have to be God.
Here is what you need to understand:
For you to have come to Christ it took a miracle.
It wasn’t by your ability to find him, who your daddy or momma was, it wasn’t because somebody preached good.
It was because the Holy Spirit performed a miracle in your heart and you turned to God.
My faith grows stronger the more I trust in his promise.
2. God’s Promises are Secured Through His Purpose.
This is a tough one.
Let me explain.
God did not Hate Esau in the manner that we think of Hate.
What God is saying here is that my relationship with Jacob is going to be so great that it is going to look as if I hate Esau..
God wants a relationship that is unequaled with any other relationship in our lives that it comes across that I hate all other relationships.
So why did he pick Jacob?
Was it because Jacob was more holy or a better pick?
God was circumnavigating all social systems, common practices, human ability and hierarchy in instituting his planned.
He was Electing.
You see God knows our hearts before we do right from wrong.
He knows the direction we will go before we chose it.
God had been putting people in the right places and time throughout history to orchestrate his purpose.
God had a purpose in choosing Jacob.
He did not exclude Esau from knowing and loving him.
God did not reject Esau’s eternal salvation He was simply choosing Jacob to lead the nation.
What Paul is saying here is God’s word didn’t fail.
The Jews just misunderstood it.
He didn’t elect them just to follow a bunch of laws, rituals, and have family or community ties.
The had settled on enjoying the benefits and promises, rather that fulfilling their role to share God’s promises with the world.
Some of us here today have the same misconception.
We are enjoying the benefits of salvation while completely ignoring that God wants to reach others and fulfill his purpose through us.
You were elected for a purpose.
God Chose Isaac of Ishmael and Jacob over Esau, not because of who they were or what they could do.
Simply because that’s who he wanted to chose.
That doesn’t seem fair?
Have you not figured out this isn’t about fair.
It isn’t about what you deserve.............
Both Issac and Jacob were complete messes.
