This program is a rebroadcast from December 29, 2018. We trust you are enjoying time with family and friends and we hope you take some time and reflect on the reason we celebrate: God sending Jesus to earth! Last week we began a two-part series on the incarnation of Jesus, when the Word became flesh. The incarnation is the combination …
Last week we learned that Jesus’ birthplace of Bethlehem was no ordinary little town. It was the subject of a prophecy from Micah 5:2 revealing the birthplace of the Messiah, which the Jewish people knew well. But beyond this, Micah gave another detail of the Messiah’s origin a chapter earlier. It specified the exact place and people in Bethlehem that …
If you’re like most people, your hometown is a special place. It’s part of what developed your personality and perspective in life. In the same way, Jesus’ hometown was a big part of His human background. It wasn’t just some town, or some meaningless blip on Israel’s radar, as some today think it was. Bethlehem was the subject of one …

The gospel changes lives. Paul called it “the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.” If you’ve accepted Jesus as your Savior, you know how powerful the gospel has been in your own life. The newest issue of Israel My Glory magazine features inspiring stories of people who have been …

We hope you’ve had a very merry Christmas! Looking back on the first Christmas means looking back at the prophecy that foretold of Jesus’ fate hundreds of years earlier. After studying Isaiah 7 last week, we’re heading to chapter 53 this week to study Jesus’ sacrifice that would save His people from their sins. This chapter is particularly noteworthy because …
Merry Christmas! Today as we eagerly anticipate December 25th, we’re opening up a two-part series on the first Christmas. Chris shares little-known details about the Jewish context of the virgin birth of Jesus this week.
