God illustrates truths about Himself and His relationship with His people in unique and memorable ways. The book of Hosea is a great example of God’s penchant for doing these unusual types of things. God gave the prophet Hosea an incredibly difficult task: He was to marry an immoral woman who would be unfaithful to him. But through this difficult …
Last week we learned about the year of Jubilee, which God instructed the Israelites to remember in Leviticus 25. Though Jubilee is rarely mentioned in the rest of Scripture, its themes are such a key to Bible prophecy. They show up in the Old Testament, but they also play a major part in Jesus’ message to Israel. In the second …
This program is a rebroadcast from July 15, 2017. We’re on to part two of our series entitled, “Pictures of Christ from the Psalms,” which highlights different characteristics of the Messiah in the Psalms. Chris reminds us that it’s important to remember that these types of Psalms have a dual purpose. They were about Jesus but also applicable for the …
This program is a rebroadcast from July 8, 2017. We’re starting a two-part series this week entitled, “Pictures of Christ from the Psalms” which highlights different characteristics of the Messiah in the Psalms. Did you know there are over 100 quotations in the New Testament connecting the Psalms to Jesus? Chris will take us to Psalm 2 and show us …
To conclude our series on the kings of Israel, we want to introduce you to a king that often doesn’t get talked about but plays a major role in the story of Jesus. Without this king, the line of David would have ended, and God said in 2 Samuel 7 that the King of Israel must come from the line …
After studying three of Judah’s most faithful kings, we’re analyzing Manasseh, a wicked king who led God’s people into evil. Though he reigned longer than any other king in the split Kingdoms of Judah and Israel, he led a life of wickedness that shaped his method of rule over Judah. Despite having the righteous King Hezekiah as his father, Manasseh’s …
We’re studying two of Judah’s most famous and godly kings this week: Hezekiah and Josiah. Hezekiah had a special relationship with the Lord that benefited the Kingdom of Judah that it would not see again until his great-grandson, Josiah, ruled righteously as well. Chris draws striking parallels between these two men while analyzing how their kingships affected God’s Chosen People. …
No king can ever match up to Jesus. Our perfect, sinless Savior is also the King of Kings, and He’s coming again to claim His throne! He was also born into a family of kings. We’ll be studying 4 of His kingly ancestors in our 4-part series about the kings of the split Israelite kingdom. These leaders have a lot …
It’s one of our favorite episodes: our Israel My Glory magazine in-depth episode. We welcome Tom Simcox, a church representative here at The Friends of Israel Gospel Ministry to talk about the often-overlooked prophet, Elisha. Tom wrote the article, “Chariots of Fire” and he and Chris will walk through the story in 2 Kings 6 where God protected Elisha from …
We are continuing in our series this week, “Discovering the Psalms.” The Book of Psalms most vividly expresses the doubt and faith individuals have placed in the Lord as they walked with Him. If we’re honest, many of us read the Psalms for personal comfort—and that’s okay! But as we start to peel layers off this popular book of the …
