In Romans 11:25-27 Paul introduces the concept that "all Israel will be saved," emphasizing God's continued plan for the Jewish people. This passage has been the subject of much debate within Christian circles, particularly about whether it refers to a future turning of ethnic Israel to Christ or if it has already been fulfilled spiritually through…

As we draw towards the end of Romans 11, we build up to the climatic doxology, praising God for all his wonder and awe. We get a taste of His greater plans by how he has set us apart to be holy for him, how he overturns human logic (and the logic of an arborist) by grafting the gentiles (a wild olive tree) into the covenant he made to Abraham. We a…

Jealousy, often seen as a negative emotion, is something most of us don’t want to embody. Yet in today’s passage, we see God’s intent for making the Jewish people "jealous" through the salvation of the Gentiles. It’s a strange idea, but one with a divine purpose. Romans 11:11-15 & Matthew 21:33-46Por Alistair McNaughton

Even though the Jewish nation had heard the Good News of salvation through Jesus Christ, and they understood what it meant, they refused to have faith in Jesus. Yet, God has not forgotten his promise to Israel and we look forward to a time when the nation of Israel does proclaim Jesus as their Saviour. The parable of the sower (Matthew 13:1-9) remi…

Paul continues to the end of Chapter 9 of Romans, explaining how we are saved by faith alone. This is how the Gentiles were receiving salvation: realising that they could not earn it by anything that we might do, and only through Christ's righteousness could they be saved. Israel was still relying on gaining righteousness by obeying the Law - somet…

At the end of the segment of Romans chapters 9-11, Paul writes a hymn of praise (a doxology) due to his discussion and enthusiasm of what he understands of God's plans for both Jews and Christians. Today we begin our winter season of studying the book of Romans by exploring this doxology and reflecting on the place of praise in our lives too. Psalm…

Jesus' main point wasn't simply not to make any oaths or vows - he wanted us to strive to meet God's absolute standard or truth and to show integrity and honesty in all areas of our lives. Only Jesus accomplished this and so, again, we recognise it is his righteousness by which we are saved. As God calls you to be 'fishers of people' imitate Him in…

By the 1st century AD, the teachers of the Law had reinterpreted God's instructions (Deuteronomy 24:1-4) and were permitting divorce for any reason. God hates divorce. He neither commands it or condones it. But He recognises its existence in our fallen world, hence Scriptures such as Deuteronomy 24:1-4 and Exodus 21:10-11. Jesus corrects the Pharis…

Although awkward and uncomfortable to talk about, we must recognise that we all have sinned and constantly fail to live up to the standard of God’s Law. Jesus again challenges his audience with the sin of adultery in the heart. He doesn’t do this to condemn us, but to make us truly realise that we can only be saved when we accept Him as our righteo…

One definition that we could use for the anger that Jesus warns us of is: 'an anger that cherishes resentment and does not want reconciliation.' While we strive to rid ourselves of such heart attitudes, Jesus has not left us as orphans - he has sent the Holy Spirit to dwell in us and to replace our sinful heart attitudes with the fruit of the Spiri…

So far in the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus has described what the character of a believer should be (the Beatitudes), the function of the believer (salt and light) and now Jesus teaches the foundations for those inner qualities (our attitudes). To introduce this he focuses on the purpose of the Law - God's Word. Today we consider moving from the Beat…
