Focus: The Jesus life is a re-consecrated life. The re-consecrated life is a thinking life. It makes sense that you would, therefore, “let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think.” So, how do we LET GOD? And, how does GOD transform the way you think?

Focus: We have been Refined, Redeemed, Released, and Reinforced as part of our Re-Formation as His people. And now we see our full REALIGNMENT to Him. The truth is that we (along with all things) are from Him, by Him, and for Him. To him be glory forever. Amen. Main Text: Romans 11:33-36 |

Focus: God works for good in all things, even disobedience. Wrapping up the section of questions about Israel Paul gives us the 30,000 foot view and REALIGNS us again to our amazing God and His plan. God not only shows mercy to the disobedient, but His mercy multiplies! God has made sure that He may have mercy on all. Main Text: Romans 11:25-32 |

Focus: When Jesus was born it was Israel or bust. All others were outside. As Paul lived, he saw so many Jews stumbling over Jesus, even fighting against God’s gift of righteousness, cut off from the vine. But Paul REALIGNS us to God’s truth, stumbling doesn’t mean they are beyond God’s reach. God has already demonstrated that no one is beyond His reach. Who do you know that you don’t think God will reach? Our hope and trust is in Him alone. Main Text: Romans 11:11-24 |

Focus: As Paul’s heart breaks for his fellow Jews, he continues to REALIGN us to God’s faithfulness in His promise. Even though Israel often rejected God’s prophets, He didn’t go back on His promise. Even though Israel continued to seek righteousness by their works and sacrifices, He has maintained a remnant, chosen by grace. He has not, and will never reject His people, the elect. God will never reject you. Main Text: Romans 11:1-10 |
