Branches, Roots, and Sap

Romans 11:16(b)-24: “if the root is holy, so are the branches. If some of the branches have been broken off, and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root, do not boast over those branches. If you do, consider this: you do not support the root, but the root supports you.”

Thoughts and Application

. Symbiosis:- The Jewish Remnant of Believers Feed New Gentile Believers;- The Gentile Believers Re-invigorate the

Jewish Remnant;- Both Jews and Gentiles Feed off and Grow Because of the Other’s Presence;- All…those who are Established and

those who are New, Rely on the Roots.

Thoughts and Application (continued)

We are all wild shoots– Attitude of gratitude

Believers – a responsibility to attract and welcome new “branches” into the Church:

– Campaigners– Club– Committee– Committee Teams– Golf– Celebration

The Promise – new branches will invigorate the Body of Believers.

Committee Teams – Next Steps

Pray! – Is God calling me to lead a committee team?– If so, which one?– If I’m already involved with a different team, how do I “see

things through” en route to a new leadership role?– Who might I ask to help me with my team?

Act!– Let us know where you want to be used.– Develop an action plan and . . . “run with endurance”
