Amen and amen. How are we doing, church? Doing all right? The Church of 1122 is a movement for all people to discover and deepen a relationship with Jesus Christ, whether you grew up Catholic or Episcopalian, no matter how old you are, where are you from, what color you are, whatever. If you fall in the all-people category, then this thing, this gospel movement is a movement for you to discover and deepen

a relationship with Jesus. And unlike that video, we do open the Bible here, and I would like

you to stand and open up to Romans chapter 11. And as we've been doing week after week after week,

I'm going to read the text that I will be preaching from.

Romans chapter 11 beginning in verse 25.

God's word says, lest you be wise in your own sight, I do not want you to be unaware of this mystery, brothers.

A partial hardening has come upon Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. And in this way,

all Israel will be saved. As it is written, the deliverer will come from Zion. He will banish

ungodliness from Jacob, and this will be my covenant with them when I take away their sins.

As regards to the gospel, they are enemies for your

sake. But as regards election, they are beloved for the sake of their forefathers. For the gifts

and the calling of God are irrevocable. For just as you were at one time disobedient to God,

but now have received mercy because of their disobedience, so they

too have now been disobedient in order that by the mercy shown to you, they also may now receive

mercy.

For God has consigned all to disobedience that he may have mercy on all.

Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God.

How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways.

For who has known the mind of the Lord or who has been his counselor?

Or who has given a gift to him that he might be repaid.

For from him and through him and to him are all things.

To him be glory forever.
