Was Jesus a Zionist? (Part 2 of 2): Last week we studied examples from Jesus’ life that demonstrate that He was undeniably a Zionist who understood the inextricable link between the Jewish people and the land of Israel.

We hope you are seeing how one covenant between Abraham and God has impacted the entire world. This week we see the blessing of this covenant through the Messiah.

David and GoliathHave you ever thought about how God’s Word has 40 different authors but each book is connected to the others?
