Brother Scott Mitchell continues his series The Secret of the Lord with a powerful message on how Israel’s rejection of their Messiah opened the way for God’s hidden plan of grace to be revealed. Drawing from Psalm 25:14, Matthew 3–4, and Acts 7, Scott explains how the Kingdom of Heaven was first offered to Israel as a national promise but was later withheld due to unbelief and rebellion.

Jesus and John the Baptist both preached repentance and the nearness of the Kingdom, but Israel’s refusal to receive Him led to a pivotal turning point in God’s timeline. Through the stoning of Stephen and the rise of Paul’s ministry, God unveiled a new gospel—salvation by grace through faith for all who believe.

Scott explores the difference between the gospel of the Kingdom and the gospel of grace, showing how understanding the Secret of the Lord keeps believers anchored in truth amid modern deception. This message reminds us that God’s plan was never thwarted—only expanded—so that both Jew and Gentile might receive His mercy through Christ.
