Ruined By Jesus

RUINED BY JESUS

The sermon centers on God's sovereign plan to shatter the darkness of unbelief, falsehood, and worldly worthlessness by revealing His glory through the gospel, ultimately drawing both Gentiles and Jews into salvation. Drawing on Acts 28, Romans 11, and Jeremiah 16, it emphasizes that God's temporary hardening of Israel was not abandonment but a divine strategy to extend salvation to the Gentiles, fulfilling a predetermined purpose in which all nations will come to know the Lord. The message underscores that no one comes to Christ by human capacity or merit, but only through the Father's drawing and the Spirit's teaching, which transforms lives and breaks down spiritual strongholds. As believers, the church is called to proclaim this truth with confidence, knowing that God's power is revealed not in human strength but in His grace, which turns darkness into light and makes the lost profitable for the King of Kings. The sermon concludes with a call to faithful witness, rooted in divine assurance, as God continues to shatter false dominions and draw people from every nation to worship the one true God.
