The sermon is from Romans 11:11-16 – “Being Jealous Unto Salvation”.  “… through their trespass salvation has come to the Gentiles, …” – Romans 11:11

Often as Christians, we take for granted certain Bible doctrines and fail to realize the magnitude and wonder of the truth we confess to believe. Newton’s famous song reminds us of our short-sighted tendencies; he did not say, “grace, how sweet the sound,” he said, “Amazing grace, how sweet the sound!” Likewise, we fail to realize the magnitude of Paul’s reference to the Gentiles in Romans 11:11. Previous to the coming of Christ, God’s visible church on earth was confined to one nation, the nation Israel. To them, he poured out tremendous religious privilege and blessing (Romans 9:4-5). Now, the visible church is composed of Jew and Gentile and it extends to the ends of the earth. Now, “his blessings flow far as the curse is found.”
