SATURDAY (11/28/20)

Read Romans 11:17-24

Verse 18 explains that we should not boast about our position in God’s family. We did nothing to deserve it.

Verse 20 reminds us of where we have come from in the early chapters- it all boils down to faith verses unbelief. God desires faith and rewards faith with righteousness.

  • Explain Paul’s visual aid.
  • How is God both kind and stern?

I was doing some reading about grafting branches together. This sentence caught my eye: “In grafting, the injured tissue of one vine heals to the injured tissue of another.”

I love the picture of God taking us who were injured from our separation from Him and our living in a fallen world, and grafts us into a vine injured by disbelief. Many times grafting is used to produce better fruit or a stronger vine. God is after showing His glory throughout the generations and we are a part of that. Ultimately we should be grateful to be grafted into this family of faith started by Abraham. Neither the Israelites, or us, deserve the righteousness, the peace, the riches that we have been given. Blessed we are.

THURSDAY (11/26/20)

Happy Thanksgiving!

Read Romans 11:7-11

  • What do you think is Paul’s main point in these verses?
  • Israel earnestly thought that obedience to the law was the only way to be pleasing to God, and thus they missed recognizing Jesus as their promised Messiah. Why do you think this brought the consequence of God darkening their eyes?
  • What does this tell us about God’s character?

WEDNESDAY (11/25/20)

We continue in some hard passages! Pray and ask the Holy Spirit to teach you as you read.

Read Romans 11:1-6

  • What is Paul’s answer to those who were saying that God had rejected Israel?
  • How do works nullify grace?

Paul references a story about Elijah the Prophet. He was discouraged and being hunted to be killed. He cries out to the Lord feeling that he was the only one left worshiping the One True God. God reassures him in such a sweet way.

  • How does Paul use this story to encourage his readers?
  • When has God responded in sweetness to an exasperated and frustrated cry from you?
