Famous American author Mark Twain visited the land in 1867. When he returned he wrote, [a] desolate country whose soil is rich enough, but is given over wholly to weeds—a silent mournful expanse….A desolation is here that not even imagination can grace with the pomp of life and action….We never saw a human being on the whole route….There was hardly …
The city of Jerusalem has a lot of history. King David claimed it as Israel’s capital in the Old Testament. But before that, Abraham was there. This week Chris will take us to Genesis 14 where Abraham (then Abram) attacks Kedorlaomer and his troops in the night and saves his nephew Lot, who had been captured. After this battle, Abraham …

On May 14, 2018 we will celebrate the 70th year of the rebirth of Israel. Many people—both Jewish and Christian—know there are many passages in the Old Testament Scripture where the prophets said this rebirth would happen.

Jesus made one, a very bold one in the synagogue of His own hometown, Nazareth. Chris takes us to Luke 4 where Jesus reads from …
Whatever happened to the Rapture? 1 Thessalonians 4:17 says, “Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.” This week David Levy will explain the complexities and not simplicities of the Rapture in our Israel My …
Hidden entrances to underground rooms. Coworkers living doubles lives. Transporting weapons right under the enemy’s nose. This sounds like something right out of the movies but it’s not! It actually happened in Israel during its War of Independence. This week Chris has as his guest Emmy award-winning producer Laurel Fairworth. This story of courage in the midst of danger will …
We’re finishing up our series Eden to Eden. We started in episode one in the Garden of Eden where God was dwelling with Adam and Eve. We’re ending the series in the New Jerusalem where God will dwell with all believers in Jesus. But if we’re honest, many of us have wrong ideas about heaven—sometimes even a boring idea of …
We’re back in our series Eden to Eden. We’re looking at the grand story of the Bible. From beginning to end, God is pursuing His people. We’ve learned why God would pursue us.
