In this 1st of 3 "end times" epdisodes of The Blitz, Pastor Jon explains who the Antichrist is.

If God elects whom He saves, why pray for the lost or preach the gospel? In this episode of Sermon B-Sides, Pastor Jon and Pastor Rusten explore Romans 10, unpacking Paul’s anguished prayer for Israel, the call to faith for all—Jew and Gentile—and why preaching is God’s chosen means for salvation. From zeal without knowledge to the inclusivity of “everyone who calls on the Lord,” they show how election fuels mission, not passivity. Does God’s sovereignty free us from evangelism—or empower it?

We hope you enjoy, and as usual, if you have any questions for Sermon B-Sides or anything else, email us at [email protected].

Join us this Sunday as Pastor Jon preaches on Romans 11:25-36. You are invited to watch our 9:30 service on Facebook Live.

Coram Deo Church meets in Bremerton, WA. We exist to love God, connect people, and change the world. When we gather together on Sundays, we hear the preaching of God’s Word, and respond by worshipping & taking Communion together.

What about the Jews who rejected Christ—has God broken His promises? In this episode of Sermon B-Sides, Pastor Jon and Pastor Rusten unpack Romans 9, diving into the doctrine of election, the distinction between ethnic Israel and true Israel, and Paul’s anguished heart for his kinsmen. They tackle the potter and clay, Pharaoh’s hardening, and why God’s sovereign choice never undermines human responsibility or His faithfulness. If God elects some and not others, what does that mean for hope, prayer, and unity in the church today?
