Episode Synopsis

This week we dive deep into Romans 11:13–24, where Paul uses powerful imagery, first fruits, roots, and branches, to reveal what it really means to belong to the family of God.Key Themes in This Message: • First fruit & Lump of Dough (Numbers 15) If the first portion is set apart for God, the whole batch is considered holy.➤ If God has made the root holy, everything connected to it shares in that calling.• The Olive Tree Analogy, Some branches were broken off, and we (Gentiles) were grafted in.➤ Don’t boast, stay humble. We don’t support the root… the ROOT (Jesus) supports us.• What Does “Holy” Really Mean?It’s not about being morally perfect, it means being set apart for God’s purpose.• Jesus: The Root of Jesse (Isaiah 11) The promised shoot from the stump who brings life not just to Israel but to all nations.• Warning & Encouragement (Romans 11:22)➤ “Consider the goodness and severity of God.”Our place isn’t secured by performance, but by persevering faith. Stay rooted. Don’t drift.ABIDE | Not AchieveJesus said in John 15:4-5, “Abide in Me… for without Me you can do nothing.”He isn’t commanding us to produce fruit, He’s inviting us to stay connected.👉 My reward is the FRUIT. My responsibility is to ABIDE.⸻Watch now and ask yourself:✅ Am I truly rooted in Christ?✅ Have I drifted into arrogance or unbelief?✅ Am I striving, or abiding?Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more life-changing messages from Compassion Church!Follow us!WEBSITE: https://www.compassiondickson.church/FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/compassiondicksonINSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/compassionchurchdickson?igsh=eXp3Mm9ubG81aTQx&utm_source=qrSunday Extended Podcast: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRTsMFJ4TR5xa0PahwBjfzWK772IOi9G8&si=lsIu5iqaQwl79Jwj
