In this message, we explore Paul's assurance in Romans 11 that while Israel has stumbled over Messiah, God has not abandoned His people. God's covenant promises remain and His gifts and calling are irrevocable. As we trace Paul's illustration of the olive tree, we discover how Gentile believers have been grafted into the blessings of Abraham through faith in the Messiah Jesus. At the heart of this passage is a call to humility. Rather than boasting, belivers are called to gratitude, love for the Jewish people, and lives that point others toward the Messiah.
