Israel & the Jews | The world is focused and triggered by what is going on in Israel right now. In this timely message, Lead Pastor Matt Peterson shares about how Israel and the Jews, along with their land, their purpose and calling have been a focus of God for 4000 years. We are culminating toward the end of days, and Israel and the Jews are still being threatened, while God re-establishes them and has more for them to do. This message is intended to share some of the history, both naturally and spiritually of the Jewish people and the land of Israel, so that we can have compassion for people on every side, and pray for salvation and help from God as well.
