God gave Israel special gifts and a special calling. They set Israel apart from the other nations of the world, serving as distinct marks of its unique status as God’s chosen nation. He has given the Jewish people covenants, promises, law, patriarchs, worship, and the Messiah Jesus—a blessing we have received and for which we are indebted to Israel. And …
March 19, 2022 | Why Christians Should Support Israel and the Jewish People, Part 1
Why do you support Israel? Maybe you support its democratic policies that make it stand out from the rest of the Middle East. If you know your Bible, you might point to a passage like Genesis 12:1–3 as your reason, wanting to honor God’s command to bless the nation. But this week we’ll consider Romans 11:28–29, a short passage Paul …
October 30, 2021 | Chris Katulka/Jim Showers: Christian Zionism, Part 2
Christians have shared an important friendship with Israel throughout history. But as a whole, that relationship is starting to crack. A recent study found an increasing number of young evangelical Christians are no longer supporting Israel because of its dispute with the Palestinians. How can we support Israel when so many other believers have begun to abandon the Jewish state? …
October 23, 2021 | Chris Katulka/Jim Showers: Christian Zionism
Christian Zionism is our passionate belief today, but this movement started long before us. Looking back in American history we can see a precedent set forth by many presidents: a desire to see national Israel restored. Miraculously, the world witnessed this come to pass in 1948, and we’re thrilled to see the Jewish people in their homeland today. But the …
August 15, 2020 | Israel Still Matters to God, Part 1
Here’s a sad thought: Many churches and Christian leaders teach that Israel, the nation of God’s Chosen People, doesn’t matter to God anymore. Much of the world feels the same way. But how can this be? Maybe these people just need to read Romans 9–11. We’re studying these three chapters in our three-part series “Israel Still Matters to God.” We’ll …
May 9, 2020 | San Remo Agreement
As Christian Zionists we believe it’s important to understand how Israel became a nation in 1948. It wasn’t simply one event but years and years of events, resolutions, and the buying and selling of land that led to the rebirth of Israel—all under the watchful eye of God. Today we’re learning about the San Remo Conference. This important conference did …

July 28, 2018 | Interview Guest: Douglas Altabef
Do you know what a Zionist is? If you believe the Jewish people have a right to exist in their ancestral homeland and that they have a right to protect themselves as a nation both biblically and politically, then you are a Zionist! We welcome Douglas Altabef, chairman of the board at Im Tirtzu…
April 28, 2018 | Theodor Herzl
This year Israel is celebrating 70 years of Independence. On May 14, 1948 a group of men and women in Tel Aviv made a declaration of Independence and the state of Israel was reborn! But the dream of an independent Jewish state did not simply happen by chance. God was working and orchestrating in the hearts and lives of Jewish …
April 29, 2017 | #1717-Thomas Ice: The Case for Zionism
