<p><strong>Title:</strong>&nbsp;Grace Before Grasping<br /><strong>Text: </strong>Genesis 25:19-34, Romans 9:10-13<br /><strong>Speaker:</strong>&nbsp;Pastor Kevin Deyette<br /><br /></p>
<p><em><strong>Notes</strong>:</em></p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>The promise must be received by dependence, not produced. (Genesis 25:19-22)</p>
</li>
<li>
<p class="p1">The promise is declared before it's earned.&nbsp;(Genesis 25:23)</p>
</li>
<li>
<p class="p1">Election means God's saving purposes begin with his choice, not ours. His mercy, rather than our merit. (Romans 9:10-13, Genesis 25:24-28)</p>
</li>
<li>The promise was misunderstood in two ways. (Genesis 25:29-34)</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Message Summary:&nbsp;</strong>God's promises survive not because we trust them, but because God already committed Himself to keep them.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Application</strong>:&nbsp;</p>
<ol>
<li>Rest in God's electing grace.</li>
<li>Stop despising grace.</li>
<li>Stop grasping at grace.&nbsp;</li>
</ol>
