Salvation is the blessed hope of everyone who accepts Jesus’ sacrifice to forgive their sins. In Romans 10, Paul shares that his greatest desire and prayer was for the Israelites to be saved. But his message was hard for them to understand. Though they had zeal, it was misplaced. They focused on earning righteousness by keeping the Law, when they …
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 …
This week marked the observance of Tisha B’Av, the saddest day on the Jewish calendar. It’s the anniversary of many tragedies—the destruction of both the First and Second Temples, the expulsion of the Jewish people from England in 1290 and from Spain in 1492, and more. Remembering these painful memories eventually takes its toll. That’s why some rabbis have historically …

This program is a rebroadcast from September 7, 2019. One word we seem to hear often in our society is “Justice.” Sadly, the word is being redefined from its true meaning. We’ve selected a favorite past episode to air this week, “Prophetic Justice in Amos.” Where can we find the true meaning of justice? God’s Word! It’s interesting that many …
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 …
