Grafted Branches (Romans

Wes McAdams wraps up his sermon series, "Israel: The Story of Our Committed God" by exploring Romans 11:11-24, which reads in the ESV:
11 So I ask, did they stumble in order that they might fall? By no means! Rather, through their trespass salvation has come to the Gentiles, so as to make Israel jealous. 12 Now if their trespass means riches for the world, and if their failure means riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their full inclusion[b] mean!
13 Now I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry 14 in order somehow to make my fellow Jews jealous, and thus save some of them. 15 For if their rejection means the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance mean but life from the dead? 16 If the dough offered as firstfruits is holy, so is the whole lump, and if the root is holy, so are the branches.
17 But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, although a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing root[c] of the olive tree, 18 do not be arrogant toward the branches. If you are, remember it is not you who support the root, but the root that supports you. 19 Then you will say, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.” 20 That is true. They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you stand fast through faith. So do not become proud, but fear. 21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you. 22 Note then the kindness and the severity of God: severity toward those who have fallen, but God's kindness to you, provided you continue in his kindness. Otherwise you too will be cut off. 23 And even they, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God has the power to graft them in again. 24 For if you were cut from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, the natural branches, be grafted back into their own olive tree.

Great message! God only has one covenant community, represented by a cultivated olive tree as you graciously explicated. "There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." Gal 3:28

The gentiles(better rendered NATIONS) that Paul was referring to were the nation’s(or tribes) of the Previously divorced and scattered House of Israel.

Beautiful lesson!

[@bobseaver7807]

The first mistake this pastor makes is he uses the term ‘Jews’ to refer to ALL of ISRAEL. The Jews (better rendered Judahites) were only the 2 tribes of the House of Judah....the tribes Judah, and Benjamin.

In agreement with this whole message I loosen the word of romans 11:17-24, 2 corinthians 6:14-15, matthew 6:24, 1 john 3:10 for myself, my opponents and the body of Christ to be rooted in faith in Christ, while there will be no unequal yoke and common share with any evildoer serving satan, in the name and blood of Jesus Christ, amen and hallelujah!
