One Mission, Two Teams. Israel and The Church: Pastor Ryan Rice

We trace the rise of anti-Semitism as a moral and spiritual warning sign and refuse to treat it like just another news cycle. We walk from Genesis to Revelation to show God’s mission to bless the nations, why the church is grafted in by grace, and why Israel’s calling is not canceled. • why traveling to Israel makes the Bible feel tangible and strengthens faith • anti-Semitism as a modern “canary in the coal mine” and why silence is dangerous • a brief biblical and historical arc of Jewish persecution from Pharaoh to the Holocaust to Oct 7, 2023 • the Abrahamic covenant and its promises of land, nation, blessing, and protection • Israel’s purpose to be a light to the nations in Psalm 67 and Isaiah 49 • Jesus as salvation for Gentiles and glory for Israel, leading to the Great Commission • Romans 11 and the warning against arrogance as the church is grafted into the olive tree • adoption as a picture of inclusion without replacement, clarifying Israel and the church • Revelation 7, future gospel advance, and the promise that God keeps his covenant If you found any of what you heard today helpful, please share it with others who may benefit.
