“From Him, through Him, to Him—why the gospel ends in worship.”
Podcast Summary
In the finale of More to Israel (Romans 11:12–36), we trace God’s mysterious plan that turns Israel’s current unbelief into worldwide blessing—and promises even greater joy when He restores them. Paul warns Gentile believers against arrogance: we’re grafted into Israel’s story by grace, not merit. The heart of the passage isn’t speculation about election but adoration of God and the good news that saves Jew and Gentile alike. Paul lands in worship—“from Him and through Him and to Him are all things”—and we’re invited to respond with hopeful humility, personal faith in Jesus, and a readiness to shine as “lights in the darkness” in our community.
