Zeal Without Knowledge part 1

August 1, 2019

We are going verse by verse through Romans, and today we begin a look at chapter ten - a chapter that helps us understand that we need to submit to God in all His glory. The strong willed person considers "I'll do it my way", the highest of humanist expressions - but let's call it what it is - fighting against God. 

References: Romans 10:1-11

We’re going to complete our look at Romans nine today. When Paul wrote this letter, there was a huge cultural divide between Jews and Gentiles.  The majority of the Jews were dead set against Gentiles being included in God’s plan of salvation. But thanks be to the Lord that His grace is extended to all. Unfortunately, that great divide still exists today, to a certain extent.

If we’re being honest with ourselves, most of us would probably admit that there have been times in our lives when we’ve questioned God’s methods. “God, why did you do that?”. As we look to Scripture, we see that we are not alone. Many people have wondered why God made certain choices concerning their lives - only to find that it all fit into His grand plan and that everything happens exactly how it’s supposed to happen.

Today we zero in on Romans nine, which details Israel’s unbelief and God’s sovereignty in election. The sovereignty of God is something that a lot of people don’t completely understand. But when we understand that God does indeed hold everything and everyone in His hands, it should be a source of great comfort!

We are now officially halfway through Romans and we’ll begin chapter nine today. In this chapter, Paul hits on a few truths that may surprise you. In addition to some great, practical advice for us today, we’ll be touching on God’s incredible sovereignty and what it means to us.

God is big. God is powerful. God created everything, and knows everything. Yet, one of the more amazing aspects of having a relationship with God is coming to grips with the fact that the Creator of the universe, Almighty God Himself, is in fact a very personal God and loves each of us individually with an everlasting love. God’s love is greater than our minds can grasp, but can anything separate us from it?  That’s the question as we head back to Romans.

Today we’re in Romans chapter eight, verses twenty eight through thirty-nine and we’ll be discussing the methods that God uses to bring about His desired results within us. We may not always understand what He’s doing, but as followers of Christ, we choose to trust Him. Pastor Al has given this message an interesting title - “The Buoyancy of Faith”. Trying to stay afloat in the trouble times we live in isn’t always easy, is it?

Today we revisit a precious verse in the Book of Romans, one that has brought great comfort to Christians through the ages - Romans chapter eight, verse twenty-eight. Today our aim is to come to a better understanding of what God is communicating to us through this great verse.

According to Romans eight, verses 19 through 25, we should be eagerly anticipating the renewal and transformation of ourselves and everything around us. To see a blighted area of town get renewed and upgraded is a wonderful thing, but when renewal happens in a person's life, that's truly amiracle.Today’s message is part of pastor Al’s verse by verse series through Romans.

Today on The Dwelling Place, we’ll discover that the moment we receive Jesus Christ as Savior, we begin a new relationship with our adopted father, a relationship that eventually takes us to an everlasting home with Him!  Paul says as believers in Jesus Christ, we have received a spirit of adoption. What does that mean exactly?
