Sermons

In this final sermon of the Romans 9–11 series, A Sharing Gospel, Robin Kinstead explores Paul’s passionate hope for the salvation of ethnic Israel and the unity of both Jews and Gentiles under God’s mercy. Through vivid imagery of broken pottery, beautiful feet, and now restored branches, Robin challenges us to reflect on our own attitudes—warning against hubris, calling us to humility, and encouraging us to step forward with holy chutzpah. With clear biblical teaching and a heart for mission, this sermon reminds us that God’s promises are irrevocable and his mercy extends to all who place their faith in Jesus, the Messiah for both Jew and Gentile. 5 Questions to Think About: What does Paul mean when he says “all Israel will be saved,” and how should that shape our understanding of God’s faithfulness? How have pride or spiritual complacency shaped your view of salvation? In what ways do you see yourself as a grafted branch in God’s olive tree? How does humility impact the way you share your faith with others? What does boldness (chutzpah) in your walk with Christ look like this week? 3 Takeaways from the Message: God has not rejected Israel — His promises are still active, and a full inclusion is coming. Gentiles are grafted in by grace — not superiority or works, but through faith in Jesus. We are called to mission — to provoke others to faith, both Jews and Gentiles, with humility and courageous love.
