LIVE DISCUSSION: "Israel Removed, Yet Israel Remains" Part 4/5

Send us Fan MailCan you prove God exists without starting with archaeology or philosophy? We take a sharper route: sin. If sin is real in any meaningful sense, it demands a holy standard, and that pushes us straight into the Bible’s claim that God alone defines what sin is. From there we tackle a question many churches still stumble over: is salvation ultimately triggered by human free will, or by God’s regenerating grace?We build the case for total depravity and spiritual inability, using Scripture’s own language about death in sin and the impossibility of coming to Christ apart from God’s work. Matthew 19 becomes a hinge: “with man this is impossible,” which forces us to ask why grace and works cannot be blended as co-causes. Then we open Romans 11 and walk through Paul’s argument about a remnant chosen by the election of grace, along with the hard texts about God giving a spirit of slumber and sending delusion. Along the way, we connect supporting passages like Isaiah 6, Ezekiel 36, and 2 Thessalonians 2 to show how the Bible interprets itself.Finally, we address Israel, the church, and the promises of God with an unapologetically Christ-centered lens. We talk through Matthew 23, Jerusalem’s desolation, AD 70, and why we believe God is forming one people made up of Jew and Gentile, not two parallel plans. Matthew 21 and 1 Peter 2 point to a holy nation defined by faith, and Galatians 3 spells out Abraham’s seed as those who belong to Christ. If you care about election, covenant theology, Romans, dispensationalism, and what the cross actually accomplishes, this one is for you.
