Our organization has changed in many ways since its origin more than 80 years ago. It has kept up with the modern demands of a ministry that fulfills the God-honoring mission to which we have been called. But one thing that has never changed—and we pledge to never change—is the doctrinal truths of the Bible upon which we stand. Continue …
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? …
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 …
Israel’s new prime minister, Naftali Bennett, just completed his first 100 days in office. It had been a long time since anyone besides Benjamin Netanyahu held the title of prime minister in Israel, so there were bound to be some changes once Bennett took the position. One thing that makes Bennett stand out: He’s the first Orthodox Jewish prime minister …
When Jesus left Earth, He sent the Holy Spirit to dwell within believers. But He also revealed His plan to physically return to the same spot from which He ascended into heaven: the Mount of Olives. Studying the Lord’s plan to touch back down on this mountain, we learn how important it is that God is choosing to dwell with …
God has dwelled with humanity in some extraordinary ways throughout history: in the Garden of Eden, the Tabernacle, the Temple, and in the person of Jesus Christ. But today He dwells with people in an even more personal way—in the hearts of all who believe in Him! Our focus in part 5 of our 6-part Kidron saga celebrates the wonderful …
Let’s recap our Kidron Saga so far: We’ve seen God’s presence dwelling among people first in the Garden of Eden, then in the Tabernacle, then in the Temple before departing Jerusalem. But this isn’t the end! God sent His Son, Jesus, to dwell among men, which we’ll take a close look at this week. Jesus’ deity was hard for the …
Our study of the Tabernacle in part 2 of our Kidron saga comes into play this week in part 3 as we study God’s home on Earth: the Temple. King Solomon built this amazing structure for the Lord and His glory, and he put it right in the center of God’s holy city, Jerusalem. The Temple gave the Israelites a …
The presence of God in our lives as believers makes our relationship with Him so special. But throughout history, God has dwelled with His people physically in several ways, which we’re learning about in our 6-part Kidron Valley series. Last week we learned about the first place God dwelled with man—in the Garden of Eden. This week takes us through …
Two of the most important mountains in the world are found in Jerusalem: Mount Moriah and the Mount of Olives. But it’s the Kidron Valley sitting between them that has so much to teach us about God’s pursuit of you and me! Chris opens up an awesome six-week series on the Kidron Valley starting way back at the beginning of …
