Listen "Should Christians Still Stand with Israel?"
Episode Synopsis
A wave of questions about Israel has been hitting us in our church, conversations with friends, and the wider culture. In this episode, Brandon and Susan unpack the biblical, historical, and current-day reasons Christians wrestle with their views on Israel. They break down the Old Testament covenant, end-times perspectives, Paul’s teaching in Romans 9–11, the meaning of “chosen people,” whether it’s ever appropriate to criticize Israel, and how to think about war, genocide claims, and modern geopolitics as followers of Jesus.QUESTIONS:1. What does the Bible teach about God’s covenant with Israel, and how should that shape the way Christians think about modern Israel?2. Brandon and Susan talked about loving Israel while still being able to critique its government. How do we apply this same “both/and” approach to nations, politics, or leaders today?3. Romans 11 describes a remnant, grafting in, and God’s heart for Israel. What does this passage teach us about God’s character and about our responsibility toward both Jews and Gentiles today?:Genesis 12:1–3Genesis 22:172 Chronicles 33Psalm 122:6Matthew 1 Romans 10:1–4, 9–13Romans 11:1–24Romans 11:25–32
