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.
This is a good time to grab an invite card at the back or us the church center app to invite a friend.
If you are joining us for the first time for the past several months we have been taking a deep look at the book of Romans.
A letter written by the The Apostle Paul to the church that had been founded in Rome.
This letter was written to a group of people from all walks of life.
Some were Jews that had come to accept Christ as the messiah and some were what the Bibles calls Gentiles.
Otherwise known as anyone who wasn’t born of Jewish Heritage.
We are going to be picking up in Chapter 9 this morning.
Paul is addressing questions people have regarding those who have a heritage of knowing about God but have not chosen to follow Jesus as the Way to God.
Paul has addressed this Idea this idea that following all the rules, being good enough, your ancestory, nor your social status have any bearing on your status with God.
It is only through Jesus that we find salvation.
It is only by accepting Gods Mercy and Forgiveness can we come to rightstanding with God.
Now at this point in scripture Paul have most likely had multiple conversations with multiple people through out his missionary journeys address a question that he probably had been asked many times.
Why Does God Find Fault?
Throughout Romans 9 Paul is addressing...........
Lets pick up in Romans 9:16-23
In the Versus leading up to what we just read Paul discusses the heritage of the The Jews and that God has orchestrated his purpose though out History.
He then turns to Pharoah to show how God was able to orchestrate his Purpose through someone who was not a follower of God.
To understand this
God is better at being God than we are.
God had a plan before Adam and Eve Chose to eat of the tree of knowledge.
He had a plan before Josephs brothers sold him in to slavery.
He orchestrated that plan and created a nation out of the Jewish people in a place where no one would want to intermarry with them.
The Egyptians Thought that the Shephards were disgusting people.
The people grew into a giant nation of slaves and when the time was right God elevated Moses a Jew raised in Pharoah’s house to a place of setting his people free.
Paul had a birds eye view of God’s purpose and direction through out history and now he is helping the reader understand
1.
We Must Recognize Who God Is.
God made them this way!
God made me this way!
How Can He find fault in me.
Paul’s 1st response: Your not God!
Let me put it this way.
We need the fence outside put together so I go to the Tots Room and and grab up all you toddlers and take them outside.
I tell them i want the fence put together and in two hours I will be back in two hours to check on their progress.
What am i going to find when I get back.
No Fence and a bunch of frustrated Toddlers.
But you know what even in that moment those toddlers still know more about building a fence than we do about what it is to be God.
God look at me you didn’t give me any handles I am useless.
and God replies that’s because I made you into a Vase and in you I want to display all my beauty and Glory.
Why because He want to show us who he is.
Have you met my friend Levi?
God endured what was once a a Vessel of Wrath and now we get to see God’s Glory on full display as a Vessel of Mercy.
Why does God Endure?
He is Patient!
2. We Must Recognize that Judgement is Coming.
How many of us here today are truly like Levi.
We were once not his people but now are his people.
We were once in a place where we were not loved but now we are loved.
Oh how it should be the desire of our heart for all to know such love.
For all to find their place among God’s people.
Paul Goes on to say.
The world around us is growing darker and more divided.
The desire for inclusivity and tolerance is creating more and more pockets of noninclusive and intolerant people groups.
Seriously, people Judgement of Sin is coming and Paul knew it and it broke his Heart.
Instead of looking with disgust at the those outside of God’s will we should be hitting our knees in prayer for God to reveal himself to them.
3. We Must Recognize the Promise Only Comes Through Faith.
Romans 9:30–32a (ESV)
30 What shall we say, then?
That Gentiles who did not pursue righteousness have attained it, that is, a righteousness that is by faith;
31 but that Israel who pursued a law that would lead to righteousness did not succeed in reaching that law.
32 Why?
Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as if it were based on works.
How many of us are completely missing it because we are trying to work it out by works.
People Pleasing and So Forth.
Romans 9:32–33 (ESV)
32b They have stumbled over the stumbling stone,
33 as it is written, “Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense; and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.”
The Middle Cross............
What are you stumbling over today?
What is holding you back from the fullness of God’s Promise?
