Summary

Are Jewish people who don’t believe in Jesus still saved, and what does the Bible really say about Israel, stewardship, and the end times? In this episode of LIVE FREE, Pastors Josh Howerton, Carlos Erazo, and Paul Cunningham tackle one of the most misunderstood theological questions in Christianity today. Walking through Luke 19 and Romans 9–11, the conversation addresses salvation, ethnicity, faith, and God’s ongoing plan for Israel, cutting through sentimentality, political pressure, and internet half-truths with clear biblical reasoning. The episode also breaks down Jesus’ teaching on stewardship, rewards, money, and faithfulness. In the second half, we’re joined by Allie Beth Stuckey, host of Relatable, to discuss why Hillary Clinton recently published a hit piece targeting her, and what it reveals about power, truth, and cultural intimidation when Christian convictions refuse to bend. You’ll learn: Whether ethnicity or sincerity can save anyone. How Romans 11 explains God’s plan for Israel and the coming revival before Christ’s return Why the destruction of the Temple in AD 70 confirms Jesus’ authority and prophecy What Luke 19 teaches about stewardship, faithfulness, and eternal rewards Whether tithing is biblical and the deeper principle behind giving God the “first” Why faithfulness matters more than fame, applause, or platform 👉 Subscribe for weekly conversations on faith, culture, and biblical truth 🎁 Comment Whataburger or In-and-Out on YouTube and Spotify for this week’s LIVE FREE giveaway 📱 Download the Lakepointe Church App: Text APP to 20411   Stand firm.
