In this week’s episode of The Follow Up, we unpack Romans chapter 11 and explore how Paul’s message speaks into our own faith journey:

Personal Decision over Family Heritage
Salvation isn’t passed down through family lines—it requires each person to decide for themselves to follow Christ .
Sovereignty and Human Responsibility
We wrestle with how God’s sovereign plan and our choices fit together in the story of redemption.
The Faithful Remnant
Discover what Paul means by the “faithful remnant” and why it matters for the covenant community today

In “One God, One Gospel, One People,” Pastor Ryan Groshek walks through Romans 11:1–36, showing how God’s unbreakable covenant with Israel opens the door for Gentiles to be grafted in by faith. He explores the preserved remnant, the enlarged family of believers, and the promise that “all Israel” will be saved. This Christ-centered teaching reminds us to stand in awe of God’s mercy and to share His kindness with others. Perfect for your commute or quiet time.

In Romans 11, Paul unveils the mystery of how God is saving both Jews and Gentiles by grace. In this message, Pastor Adam Jackson walks through how God preserves a faithful remnant, grafts Gentiles into His people, and ultimately unites all who believe in Christ.

A sermon full of hope and awe at God’s mercy and plan.
Scripture: Romans 11:1–36 | Speaker: Adam Jackson

Come discover the depth of God's wisdom and the beauty of His mercy.

Welcome back to The Follow Up, where we recap this week's sermon so you can grow deeper in your relationship with Jesus! This week, join Bill Van Kirk, Jack Guerra, and Carrie Vajko as we continue our study of Romans, diving further into chapter 9 and exploring the importance of our motivation for the good works we do, not for salvation, but from our salvation.  We are not saved by works, but by faith in Christ Jesus.

Sermon: Reduced to Religion
Teacher: Bill Van Kirk

Wrong Belief

‭‭Romans‬ ‭9‬:‭30‬-‭33‬‬
What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith; but the people of Israel, who pursued the law as the way of righteousness, have not attained their goal. Why not? Because they pursued it not by faith but as if it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone. As it is written: “See, I lay in Zion a stone that causes people to stumble and a rock that makes them fall, and the one who believes in him will never be put to shame.”

‭‭Romans‬ ‭10‬:‭1‬-‭7‬‬
Brothers and sisters, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. Since they did not know the righteousness of God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness. Christ is the culmination of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes. Moses writes this about the righteousness that is by the law: “The person who does these things will live by them.” But the righteousness that is by faith says: “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ down) “or ‘Who will descend into the deep?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).

How to Believe 

‭‭Romans‬ ‭10‬:‭8‬-‭13‬‬
But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the message concerning faith that we proclaim: If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.” For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

Sharing Belief

‭‭Romans‬ ‭10‬:‭14‬-‭21‬‬
How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” But not all the Israelites accepted the good news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our message?” Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ. But I ask: Did they not hear? Of course they did: “Their voice has gone out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.” Again I ask: Did Israel not understand? First, Moses says, “I will make you envious by those who are not a nation; I will make you angry by a nation that has no understanding.” And Isaiah boldly says, “I was found by those who did not seek me; I revealed myself to those who did not ask for me.” But concerning Israel he says, “All day long I have held out my hands to a disobedient and obstinate people.”

Sermon: God's Perfect Plan
Teacher: Jack Guerra

‭‭Romans‬ ‭9‬:‭1‬-‭29‬‬


God's Word Doesn't Fail

‭‭Romans‬ ‭9‬:‭6‬‬
It is not as though God’s word had failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel.

God's Purposes Don't Fail

‭‭Romans‬ ‭9‬:‭11‬‬
Yet, before the twins were born or had done anything good or bad—in order that God’s purpose in election might stand:

God's Glory Remains

‭‭Romans‬ ‭9‬:‭23‬-‭24‬‬
What if he did this to make the riches of his glory known to the objects of his mercy, whom he prepared in advance for glory— even us, whom he also called, not only from the Jews but also from the Gentiles?

We Need to Leave Room for God to Be God
