  Here's
• 0:55
  today's
• 0:55
  reading.
• 0:57
  We're
• 0:57
  reading
• 0:57
  from
• 0:58
  Romans
• 0:59
  11:2,
• 1:00
  10
• 1:01
  from
• 1:01
  the
• 1:01
  Message
• 1:03
  the
• 1:03
  Loyal
• 1:03
  Minority.
• 1:05
  Does
• 1:05
  this
• 1:06
  mean
• 1:06
  then
• 1:06
  that
• 1:06
  God
• 1:07
  is
• 1:07
  so
• 1:07
  fed
• 1:07
  up
• 1:08
  with
• 1:08
  Israel
• 1:08
  that
• 1:08
  He'll
• 1:09
  have
• 1:09
  nothing
• 1:09
  more
• 1:10
  to
• 1:10
  do
• 1:10
  with
• 1:10
  them?
• 1:11
  Hardly.
• 1:12
  Remember
• 1:12
  that
• 1:12
  I,
• 1:13
  the
• 1:13
  one
• 1:13
  writing
• 1:13
  these
• 1:14
  things,
• 1:14
  am
• 1:14
  an
• 1:15
  Israelite,
• 1:16
  a
• 1:16
  descendant
• 1:17
  of
• 1:17
  Abraham
• 1:17
  out
• 1:17
  of
• 1:18
  the
• 1:18
  tribe
• 1:18
  of
• 1:18
  Benjamin.
• 1:19
  You
• 1:19
  can't
• 1:20
  get
• 1:20
  much
• 1:20
  more
• 1:20
  Semitic
• 1:21
  than
• 1:21
  that.
• 1:23
  So
• 1:23
  we're
• 1:23
  not
• 1:23
  talking
• 1:24
  about
• 1:24
  reputation.
• 1:25
  God
• 1:26
  has
• 1:26
  been
• 1:27
  too
• 1:27
  long
• 1:27
  involved
• 1:28
  with
• 1:28
  Israel,
• 1:29
  has
• 1:29
  too
• 1:29
  much
• 1:30
  invested
• 1:32
  to
• 1:32
  simply
• 1:32
  wash
• 1:33
  his
• 1:33
  hands
• 1:33
  of
• 1:33
  them.
• 1:35
  Do
• 1:35
  you
• 1:35
  remember
• 1:35
  that
• 1:36
  time
• 1:36
  Elijah
• 1:36
  was
• 1:38
  agonizing
• 1:39
  over
• 1:39
  the
• 1:39
  same
• 1:39
  Israel
• 1:40
  and
• 1:40
  cried
• 1:40
  out
• 1:40
  in
• 1:40
  prayer,
• 1:42
  God,
• 1:43
  they
• 1:43
  murdered
• 1:43
  your
• 1:43
  prophets,
• 1:44
  they
• 1:44
  trashed
• 1:45
  your
• 1:45
  altars.
• 1:45
  I'm
• 1:46
  the
• 1:46
  only
• 1:46
  one
• 1:46
  left.
• 1:47
  Now
• 1:47
  they're
• 1:47
  after
• 1:48
  me.
• 1:48
  Do
• 1:49
  you
• 1:49
  remember
• 1:49
  how
• 1:49
  God
• 1:50
  answered
• 1:50
  that?
• 1:52
  I
• 1:53
  still
• 1:53
  have
• 1:53
  7,000
• 1:54
  who
• 1:54
  haven't
• 1:54
  quit,
• 1:55
  7,000
• 1:55
  who
• 1:55
  are
• 1:55
  loyal
• 1:56
  to
• 1:56
  the
• 1:56
  finish.
• 1:57
  It's
• 1:57
  the
• 1:57
  same
• 1:57
  today.
• 1:59
  There's
• 2:00
  a
• 2:00
  fiercely
• 2:00
  loyal
• 2:01
  minority
• 2:02
  still.
• 2:03
  Not
• 2:03
  many
• 2:03
  perhaps,
• 2:04
  but
• 2:04
  probably
• 2:05
  more
• 2:05
  than
• 2:05
  you
• 2:05
  think.
• 2:05
  They're
• 2:06
  holding
• 2:06
  on
• 2:07
  not
• 2:07
  because
• 2:07
  of
• 2:08
  what
• 2:08
  they
• 2:08
  think
• 2:08
  they're
• 2:09
  going
• 2:09
  to
• 2:09
  get
• 2:09
  out
• 2:09
  of
• 2:10
  it,
• 2:10
  but
• 2:10
  because
• 2:10
  they're
• 2:11
  convinced
• 2:11
  of
• 2:11
  God's
• 2:12
  grace
• 2:12
  and
• 2:12
  purpose
• 2:13
  in
• 2:13
  choosing
• 2:14
  them.
• 2:15
  If
• 2:16
  they're
• 2:16
  only
• 2:16
  thinking
• 2:16
  of
• 2:17
  their
• 2:17
  own
• 2:17
  immediate
• 2:17
  self
• 2:18
  interest,
• 2:18
  they
• 2:19
  would
• 2:19
  have
• 2:19
  let
• 2:19
  go
• 2:19
  a
• 2:19
  long
• 2:20
  time
• 2:20
  ago.
• 2:21
  And
• 2:22
  then
• 2:22
  what
• 2:22
  happened?
• 2:23
  Well,
• 2:23
  when
• 2:24
  Israel
• 2:24
  tried
• 2:24
  to
• 2:25
  be
• 2:25
  right
• 2:26
  with
• 2:26
  God
• 2:26
  on
• 2:26
  their
• 2:27
  own,
• 2:27
  pursuing
• 2:28
  her
• 2:28
  own
• 2:28
  self
• 2:28
  interest,
• 2:29
  she
• 2:29
  didn't
• 2:29
  succeed.
• 2:30
  The
• 2:31
  chosen
• 2:31
  ones
• 2:31
  of
• 2:32
  God
• 2:32
  were
• 2:33
  those
• 2:33
  who
• 2:33
  let
• 2:34
  God
• 2:34
  pursue
• 2:35
  His
• 2:35
  interest
• 2:35
  in
• 2:35
  them
• 2:37
  and
• 2:37
  as
• 2:37
  a
• 2:37
  result
• 2:39
  received
• 2:39
  his
• 2:39
  stamp
• 2:40
  of
• 2:40
  legitimacy,
• 2:42
  the
• 2:43
  self
• 2:43
  interest.
• 2:44
  Israel
• 2:45
  became
• 2:46
  thick
• 2:46
  skinned
• 2:47
  toward
• 2:47
  God.
• 2:49
  Moses
• 2:49
  and
• 2:49
  Isaiah
• 2:50
  both
• 2:50
  commented
• 2:51
  on
• 2:51
  this.
• 2:52
  Fed
• 2:52
  up
• 2:52
  with
• 2:53
  their
• 2:53
  quarrelsome,
• 2:53
  self
• 2:54
  centered
• 2:54
  ways,
• 2:55
  God
• 2:55
  blurred
• 2:56
  their
• 2:56
  eyes
• 2:56
  and
• 2:56
  dulled
• 2:56
  their
• 2:57
  ears,
• 2:58
  shut
• 2:58
  them
• 2:58
  in
• 2:58
  on
• 2:59
  themselves
• 2:59
  in
• 2:59
  a
• 2:59
  hall
• 2:59
  of
• 3:00
  mirrors
• 3:01
  and
• 3:01
  they
• 3:01
  are
• 3:01
  there
• 3:01
  all
• 3:02
  to
• 3:02
  this
• 3:02
  day.
• 3:02
  David
• 3:03
  was
• 3:03
  upset
• 3:04
  about
• 3:05
  the
• 3:05
  same
• 3:05
  thing.
• 3:09
  So
• 3:09
  I
• 3:09
  hope
• 3:09
  they
• 3:09
  get
• 3:09
  sick
• 3:10
  eating
• 3:10
  self
• 3:10
  serving
• 3:11
  meals,
• 3:11
  breaking
• 3:12
  break
• 3:12
  a
• 3:12
  leg
• 3:12
  walking
• 3:13
  their
• 3:13
  own
• 3:13
  self
• 3:13
  serving
• 3:14
  ways.
• 3:14
  I
• 3:14
  hope
• 3:15
  they
• 3:15
  go
• 3:15
  blind
• 3:16
  staring
• 3:16
  in
• 3:17
  their
• 3:17
  mirrors,
• 3:18
  get
• 3:18
  ulcers
• 3:19
  from
• 3:19
  playing
• 3:20
  at
• 3:20
  God.
• 3:22
  Well
• 3:23
  that
• 3:23
  is
• 3:23
  the
• 3:24
  reading
• 3:24
  my
• 3:24
  friends
• 3:24
  about
• 3:25
  this
• 3:28
  understanding
• 3:29
  of
• 3:29
  the
• 3:29
  loyal
• 3:30
  minority
• 3:30
  and
• 3:30
  real
• 3:31
  grace.
• 3:32
  I
• 3:32
  just
• 3:32
  want
• 3:33
  to
• 3:33
  thank
• 3:33
  you
• 3:33
  for
• 3:33
  spending
• 3:34
  a
• 3:34
  few
• 3:34
  minutes
• 3:34
  today
• 3:34
  as
• 3:34
  we
• 3:34
  explore
• 3:35
  this,
• 3:36
  this
• 3:37
  scripture
• 3:37
  here.
• 3:39
  Because
• 3:40
  Paul
• 3:40
  here
• 3:40
  really
• 3:41
  is
• 3:41
  pushing
• 3:41
  back
• 3:41
  on
• 3:41
  the
• 3:41
  idea
• 3:42
  that
• 3:42
  God
• 3:42
  has
• 3:42
  given
• 3:42
  up
• 3:43
  on
• 3:43
  Israel.
• 3:44
  And
• 3:44
  sometimes
• 3:44
  you
• 3:45
  may
• 3:45
  think
• 3:45
  God
• 3:45
  has
• 3:45
  given
• 3:45
  up
• 3:46
  on
• 3:46
  us,
• 3:46
  on
• 3:47
  our
• 3:47
  people
• 3:48
  and
• 3:48
  that's
• 3:49
  just
• 3:49
  not
• 3:49
  the
• 3:49
  case.
• 3:50
  And
• 3:50
  he
• 3:50
  reaches
• 3:51
  back
• 3:51
  here
• 3:51
  to
• 3:52
  Elijah's
• 3:52
  season
• 3:52
  of
• 3:53
  despair
• 3:53
  and
• 3:53
  hears
• 3:53
  God
• 3:54
  say
• 3:54
  that
• 3:55
  there's
• 3:55
  still
• 3:55
  a
• 3:55
  loyal
• 3:56
  minority
• 3:56
  people
• 3:56
  convinced
• 3:57
  by
• 3:57
  grace,
• 3:57
  not
• 3:58
  driven
• 3:58
  by
• 3:58
  self
• 3:58
  interest.
• 3:59
  Then
• 4:00
  Paul
• 4:01
  warns
• 4:01
  about
• 4:01
  what
• 4:02
  happens
• 4:02
  when
• 4:02
  religion
• 4:03
  turns
• 4:03
  in
• 4:03
  on
• 4:03
  itself.
• 4:04
  A
• 4:04
  hall
• 4:05
  of
• 4:05
  mirrors
• 4:05
  he
• 4:05
  calls
• 4:05
  us
• 4:06
  where
• 4:06
  we
• 4:07
  can't
• 4:07
  seem
• 4:08
  to
• 4:08
  hear
• 4:08
  or
• 4:08
  see
• 4:09
  beyond
• 4:09
  our
• 4:09
  own
• 4:10
  self
• 4:10
  serving
• 4:11
  stories.
• 4:11
  Some
• 4:12
  very
• 4:12
  important
• 4:13
  and
• 4:13
  pertinent
• 4:13
  lessons
• 4:14
  to
• 4:14
  get
• 4:14
  into
• 4:14
  here.
• 4:14
  So
• 4:15
  let's
• 4:15
  get
• 4:15
  into
• 4:15
  some
• 4:15
  points
• 4:16
  to
• 4:16
  ponder.
• 4:17
  First
• 4:17
  one
• 4:18
  is
• 4:18
  this.
• 4:18
  God's
• 4:18
  faithfulness
• 4:19
  to
• 4:19
  Israel
• 4:19
  means
• 4:20
  Christians
• 4:21
  reject
• 4:21
  arrogance
• 4:22
  and
• 4:22
  antisemitism.
• 4:24
  Paul
• 4:25
  insists
• 4:25
  God
• 4:26
  hasn't
• 4:26
  washed

  of

  Israel.
• 4:29
  That

  matters.
• 4:31
  A
• 4:31
  progressive
• 4:31
  reading
• 4:32
  of
• 4:32
  this
• 4:32
  scripture
• 4:33
  refuses
• 4:34
  supersessionism.
• 4:36
  That
• 4:36
  is
• 4:36
  the
• 4:36
  harmful
• 4:36
  idea
• 4:37
  that
• 4:37
  the
• 4:38
  church
• 4:39
  as
• 4:39
  in
• 4:39
  the
• 4:39
  Christian
• 4:40
  church
• 4:40
  replaces
• 4:41
  Israel
• 4:42
  and
• 4:43
  stands
• 4:43
  against
• 4:44
  anti
• 4:45
  Semitism
• 4:45
  in
• 4:46
  all
• 4:46
  forms.
• 4:47
  God's
• 4:48
  covenant
• 4:48
  fidelity
• 4:49
  doesn't
• 4:50
  expire.
• 4:51
  For
• 4:51
  Christians,
• 4:52
  humility
• 4:52
  is
• 4:52
  the
• 4:52
  only
• 4:53
  faithful
• 4:53
  posture.
• 4:55
  The
• 4:55
  loyal
• 4:56
  minority
• 4:57
  are
• 4:57
  people
• 4:57
  who
• 4:58
  trust
• 4:58
  grace
• 4:58
  and
• 4:59
  refuse
• 4:59
  triumphantism.
• 5:01
  In
• 5:02
  family
• 5:02
  terms,
• 5:02
  it's
• 5:02
  like
• 5:02
  a
• 5:03
  long
• 5:03
  marriage.
• 5:03
  You
• 5:03
  don't
• 5:03
  discard
• 5:04
  your
• 5:04
  promises
• 5:04
  you
• 5:05
  make
• 5:05
  in
• 5:05
  marriage.
• 5:06
  When
• 5:06
  things
• 5:06
  get
• 5:06
  complex,
• 5:08
  you
• 5:08
  go
• 5:09
  deeper.
• 5:10
  And
• 5:10
  God's
• 5:10
  yes
• 5:11
  to
• 5:11
  Israel
• 5:12
  stays
• 5:12
  a
• 5:13
  yes
• 5:14
  point
• 5:15
  to
• 5:15
  ponder.
• 5:15
  Number
• 5:16
  two,
• 5:16
  loyalty
• 5:17
  shipped
• 5:17
  by
• 5:17
  grace,
• 5:18
  not
• 5:18
  self
• 5:18
  interest.
• 5:19
  Paul
• 5:20
  contrasts
• 5:20
  folks
• 5:21
  trying
• 5:21
  to
• 5:21
  be
• 5:22
  right
• 5:23
  on
• 5:23
  their
• 5:23
  own
• 5:23
  and
• 5:24
  those
• 5:24
  who
• 5:24
  let
• 5:24
  God's
• 5:25
  interest
• 5:25
  in
• 5:25
  them
• 5:25
  lead
• 5:26
  the
• 5:26
  way.
• 5:27
  Grace
• 5:28
  doesn't
• 5:28
  make
• 5:28
  us
• 5:28
  passive,
• 5:29
  it
• 5:29
  recenters
• 5:30
  our
• 5:30
  purpose.
• 5:31
  The
• 5:32
  loyal
• 5:32
  minority
• 5:33
  shows
• 5:33
  up
• 5:33
  for
• 5:33
  the
• 5:34
  common
• 5:34
  good
• 5:34
  even
• 5:34
  when
• 5:35
  it
• 5:35
  doesn't
• 5:35
  benefit
• 5:36
  them
• 5:36
  personally.
• 5:37
  Like
• 5:38
  showing
• 5:38
  up
• 5:38
  for
• 5:38
  healthcare
• 5:39
  access.
• 5:40
  I
• 5:40
  think
• 5:40
  of
• 5:40
  the
• 5:40
  cancer
• 5:41
  community
• 5:41
  that
• 5:41
  I
• 5:41
  work
• 5:41
  with
• 5:42
  or
• 5:42
  things
• 5:43
  like
• 5:43
  racial
• 5:43
  equity,
• 5:44
  creation
• 5:45
  care,
• 5:45
  honoring
• 5:46
  people
• 5:46
  of
• 5:47
  all
• 5:47
  nationalities,
• 5:49
  living
• 5:49
  wages,
• 5:49
  inclusive
• 5:50
  churches,
• 5:51
  they
• 5:51
  all
• 5:51
  matter.
• 5:51
  Here
• 5:52
  it's
• 5:52
  quiet
• 5:52
  resilience
• 5:53
  more
• 5:54
  than
• 5:54
  loud
• 5:54
  performance
• 5:55
  like
• 5:56
  salt
• 5:56
  and
• 5:56
  a
• 5:57
  good
• 5:57
  recipe.
• 5:58
  Grace
• 5:58
  isn't
• 5:59
  showy,
• 5:59
  but
• 6:00
  everything
• 6:00
  tastes
• 6:01
  truer,
• 6:02
  better
• 6:02
  enhanced
• 6:04
  because
• 6:04
  it's
• 6:04
  there.
• 6:06
  A
• 6:06
  third
• 6:06
  point
• 6:07
  to
• 6:07
  ponder,
• 6:08
  escaping
• 6:09
  the
• 6:10
  hall
• 6:10
  of
• 6:10
  mirrors.
• 6:12
  Paul
• 6:12
  describes
• 6:13
  self
• 6:13
  serving
• 6:14
  religion
• 6:14
  as
• 6:14
  blindness
• 6:15
  and

• 6:17
  Eyes
• 6:17
  blurred,
• 6:18
  ears
• 6:19
  dulled,
• 6:20
  stuck
• 6:21
  staring
• 6:22
  at
• 6:22
  ourselves.
• 6:23
  We
• 6:24
  know
• 6:24
  that
• 6:24
  feeling
• 6:25
  from
• 6:25
  our

  feeds
• 6:27
  and
• 6:28
  our

• 6:28
  and

  so

  on.

  Outrage

  cynicism,

  vileness

  and

  the

  though,

  practices

  and

  with

  that

  scripture,

  especially

  from

  and

  Interrupt

  our

  mirrors.
• 6:50
  When

  I'm
• 6:51
  hiking
• 6:51
  on
• 6:51
  a
• 6:51
  trail
• 6:51
  with
• 6:52
  my
• 6:52
  wife,
• 6:52
  sometimes
• 6:52
  we
• 6:52
  try
• 6:53
  to
• 6:53
  leave
• 6:53
  it
• 6:53
  better
• 6:53
  than
• 6:53
  we

  found
• 6:54
  it.
• 6:54
  That
• 6:55
  is
• 6:55
  to

  try
• 6:56
  to
• 6:56
  escape,
• 6:57
  as
• 6:57
  it
• 6:57
  were.
• 6:57
  The

  hall
• 6:58
  of
• 6:58
  mirrors
• 6:58
  is
• 6:59
  like
• 6:59
  that.
• 7:00
  Sometimes
• 7:00
  you
• 7:00
  have
• 7:01
  to
• 7:01
  leave
• 7:02
  conversation

  and

  Here's

  Practice

  You

  want
