Sunday Service - All Israel Will Be Saved

Aug 2, 2026    Kevin Cox

There is a sentence in Romans 11 that people have argued over for two thousand years: “And in this way all Israel will be saved.”


In this third message of The Ancient Promise, Pastor Kevin Cox takes that sentence apart one phrase at a time — the mystery Paul discloses, the partial hardening that has come upon Israel, the fullness of the Gentiles, and the Deliverer who comes from Zion. It is a study that begins in careful exposition and ends, as Paul himself ends, on the floor in worship.

Text: Romans 11:25–36


Key Verse: “And in this way all Israel will be saved.” — Romans 11:26 (ESV)


In this message:


- What Paul means by “mystery” — a secret you could never deduce, only receive.

- The Greek behind “partial hardening,” and why “in part” and “until” change everything.

- Three historic answers to the question “Who is all Israel?” — and where the text lands.

- Why “in this way” tells us how Israel is saved, not merely when.

- The Deliverer from Zion, and the doxology Paul falls into when the argument is over.
