What if your faith today is actually rising from a lump of holy dough that started with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob? Before we get arrogant or forgetful about Israel, Scripture calls us back to our roots. When the first piece of dough is holy, the whole lump is holy—and that includes us as Gentile believers. Let’s discover how our Jewish roots call us to walk in holiness today..
Pastor Brian Noble unpacks Romans 11:16, showing that Abraham is the “first piece of dough,” and that his faith made the whole lump holy. It explains how Christians, especially Gentiles, share in this Jewish “dough” and are therefore called to live lives of holiness and reverence before God. Drawing from Romans, Genesis, and 1 Peter, Pastor Brian reminds listeners that God’s covenant with Israel still stands while the Church is redeemed as the bride of Christ. He closes in prayer, urging believers to remember their roots, walk in holiness, and defend biblical values in the public square.
