What is a Grafted Community of Faith | Finland KarmelKoti | Shulam

About this sermon

**What does it mean for Gentile believers to be grafted into Israel? How can Jewish and Gentile followers of Yeshua live together in faith while honoring their distinct identities and shared calling?** In Romans 11, the Apostle Paul describes an olive tree with natural branches and wild branches grafted in. This powerful biblical image helps us understand God's faithfulness to Israel and the place of Gentile believers within His unfolding covenant purposes. In this episode of *Biblical Truths*, Barry and Beth Shulam explore what it means to build a grafted community of faith, where Jewish and Gentile believers learn to worship, serve, and grow together. Recorded at Karmel-Koti in Finland, this teaching considers the Shema (Deuteronomy 6:4–9), the importance of loving God wholeheartedly, and the responsibilities believers share toward one another. How can believers embrace unity while respecting their differences? What does Romans 11 teach about humility and God's continuing faithfulness to Israel? And how can a community rooted in Scripture demonstrate love, mutual respect, and shared purpose? Join Barry and Beth Shulam for a thoughtful discussion about faith, biblical identity, and the relationships that strengthen the Body of Messiah. **ABOUT THIS TEACHING** Recorded in Finland in 2025, this presentation explores the biblical foundations of Jewish-Gentile fellowship and the practical challenges of building a community of faith.
