I Am Not Ashamed of the Gospel
Does God Keep His Promises (even 4000 year old ones?)

Romans 9:1–29
Trust is a vital component for any relationship to progress. One way you build trust or keep trust is by keeping promises. When a promise is kept, trust grows. Break a promise and trust suffers. Relationships that lack trust suffer a ball and chain existence. The question of trust hangs over everything. Will our trust be treasured or trashed? Broken promises weigh down relationships and can sometimes lead to the end of a relationship.
So if broken promises make a huge impact on human relationships imagine the potential impact if God broke His promises. If God doesn’t keep one of His promises, how can we trust all of His promises? If we can’t trust all, which ones can we trust? If God doesn’t keep His Word our whole faith is blown. This church is a based on a false premise. We’ve all got to find something else to do Sunday mornings and we’ve got to look elsewhere for satisfaction of our thirsty souls. Maybe something has happened in your life where you wonder about God’s faithfulness. Or you wonder about God’s promise keeping ability.
But I’m here to tell you today that God keeps His promises (even 4000 year old ones) sometimes in ways we don’t expect. God is the ultimate promise keeper. But He sometimes surprises us in the way He keeps His promises.
