DBRP_154 1SA.26 1SA.27 PSA.105.23-45 ROM.9.6-33


1SAMUEL 26-27:

Yesterday we heard the story of the cur Nabal and his intelligent and beautiful wife, Abigail. After Nabal was struck down by the Lord, Abigail became one of David's wives.

Opening for the second time to PSALM 105:

Today’s psalm is for teaching and reminding each generation of the children of Israel about the great things God has done for the Jewish people.

Returning to ROMANS 9:

Note that we are entering a difficult section of Romans. Romans 12 starts with, “Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercies, …” But if you look back at what goes right before that in chapter 11, that doesn’t seem to be what Paul is going back to with the word ‘Therefore’. Can you find what Paul was going back to and how the sections we will read for the next few days fit together?

Translation notes:
30 So we say that the Gentiles, who were not trying to put themselves right with God, were put right with him through [believing//faith];
32 And why not? Because they did not depend on [believing//faith] but on what they did. And so they stumbled over the “stumbling stone”
