In this sermon on Romans 12:3–5, Pastor Blaine lays the foundation for spiritual gifts by starting where most conversations about them don't: humility. He argues that grace doesn't just save us, it also gifts and assigns us — so there's nothing we've accomplished that we get to take credit for, and the real measure isn't how much influence we've been given but whether we were faithful with it. He warns against the cheap praise of men and the ways the modern church has twisted spiritual gifts into platforms for vanity, noting that if applause sticks to you, so will criticism. Finally, he makes the case that the Christian life can't be lived apart from the church — not as something we consume, but as a body we're obligated to serve.

Romans 11:25-36
Pastor Blaine closes the Romans 9–11 series by unpacking the "mystery" in 11:25–36 — Israel's hardening is partial and temporary, lasting until the "fullness of the Gentiles" comes in, after which "all Israel" (all whom God purposed to save) will be saved. Drawing on Isaiah, Zechariah, Ezekiel, and Acts 1, he argues Scripture points to two still-future, literal events: Christ's second coming in power and a mass, nationwide repentance of Israel — insisting these prophecies shouldn't be spiritualized into the church but read as unfulfilled literal promises. He stresses this future salvation still comes by grace through faith, not ethnicity, since "the gifts and calling of God are irrevocable," and both Jew and Gentile are saved only after being shown mercy in disobedience. He closes by insisting theology must lead to worship, not just knowledge, ending with a prayer of gratitude for grace and a call to live faithfully awaiting Christ's return.

Romans 11:11-24
This sermon on Romans 11:11–24 argues Israel's rejection isn't final — God used it to bring salvation to Gentiles, hoping their faith would provoke godly jealousy and eventually draw Israel back, pictured in the olive tree analogy of branches broken off for unbelief and grafted in by grace. Pastor Blaine warns Gentile believers against arrogance, since inclusion is by grace alone, and stresses God's kindness and severity apply to anyone without true faith, not just unbelieving Israel. He then names two figures (Joel Webbon and Dale Partridge) for racialized "replacement theology," and reads from local churches' inclusive "who we are" statements that skip repentance — calling both extremes, ethnic pride and doctrine-less inclusivity, forms of apostasy. He closes urging the church to fear God over public opinion and stake everything on Christ alone.
