Throughout the Bible, the people of Israel consistently rejected Jesus as the Messiah. So, in response, has God given up on the nation of Israel?   Some suggest He has. But in Romans, chapter eleven, the apostle Paul says otherwise.  We’ll see what he had to say in just a moment.  Welcome to today’s edition of The Dwelling Place.  We’re about to see how God feels about His chosen people, and I think you’ll be greatly encouraged as we place the spotlight on the grace and patience of our Lord.

Pastor Al is in the middle of a study in Romans, and the plan today is to spotlight chapter eleven.  You might recall in chapter ten, we were talking about Israel’s stubborn refusal to believe in Christ, and so a logical question on the heals of that is, “Is God through with them as a nation?”  Far from it.  The Lord has a wonderful plan to reach Israel, and chapter eleven makes that clear to us.

In Romans chapter fourteen we’ve learned lately about our relationship to other believers in matters of secondary importance.  Things that fall into the realm of Christian liberty.  It could be the music we listen to, or entertainment, the length of your hair, the food we eat, alcohol, or even smoking.  It’s not necessary for all Christians to agree on these issues, but they often are the center of great conflict and disagreement.  So let’s turn to Romans fourteen and see how to be pleasing to the Lord, and loving toward others.

The New Testament knows nothing of isolated believers; wherever you find Christians you find them together.  But that can create some difficulties because of our differences.  Not on essentials but non essentials. Someone once described it as “majoring on the minors”. Pastor Al will be in Romans chapter fourteen.

Al attended Nazarene Bible College in Colorado Springs, graduating in 1977 with a degree in Biblical Studies. In 1991 Al and his family moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico, and two years later he joined the staff of Calvary Chapel Albuquerque as an assistant pastor and co-worship leader. In the spring of 1997 the Lord called Al and his family back to Colorado Springs to pastor Calvary Worship Center. In 2006, Al earned his Master’s degree and in 2012 he earned his Doctorate degree in Ministry from Trinity Southwest University in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
