Summary
Romans 11:1-6 - I ask, then, has God rejected his people? By no means! For I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, a member of the tribe of Benjamin. 2 God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he appeals to God against Israel? 3 “Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have demolished your altars, and I alone am left, and they seek my life.” 4 But what is God's reply to him? “I have kept for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.” 5 So too at the present time there is a remnant, chosen by grace. 6 But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace.

| 0:08.3 | your minds aligned with the truth of God. Wow Christmas is fast approaching. It is unbelievable to think we're just a few days away. |
| 0:16.0 | I am grateful that you are with me on this journey of the morning mindset and I'm grateful |
| 0:21.2 | that as we move toward Christmas we all have the ability to look at what it represents for us. |
| 0:27.6 | It represents a change in history, a change in our lives and our destiny because God through his love sent his son for us. |
| 0:37.0 | Isn't it an amazing, amazing gift? |
| 0:40.0 | We are looking at the book of Romans chapter 11 versus 1 through 6 in Romans 9 10 and 11 the |
| 0:46.6 | apostle poll is addressing the issue of the Jewish people he's trying to help us understand where they fall in God's |
| 0:56.4 | plan now that Jesus has come. Because if you remember in the Christmas story, |
| 1:00.8 | when Jesus came King, who was the appointed |
| 1:04.4 | king of the Jews at the time, was after Jesus. He was trying to kill him. He did not |
| 1:10.7 | want this Messiah to come and usurp his throne. |
| 1:14.0 | And so you can see from the outset of the Christmas story |
| 1:18.0 | that the Jewish people at the time were not real thrilled |
| 1:22.0 | about this idea of the Messiah. Now, course there were some of the common people who were. |
| 1:26.0 | We hear Simeon and we hear Anna in the temple, these very common people who were excited in looking forward to the coming of the Messiah. |
| 1:34.0 | But Herod kind of is the prototype of what the reaction of the Jewish religious leaders |
| 1:42.0 | and authorities really was. |
