Understanding Israel (Part 2) // Genesis 12:1-3 // 02.09.26

As we continue our examination of who Israel is in Scripture, we see God's chosen nation walking in continued rebellion by rejecting Jesus, orchestrating His death, and persecuting His Church.SMALL GROUP QUESTIONS:- Why do you think there were only 120 people in the Upper Room on the Day of Pentecost, following the ministry and Resurrection of Jesus?- Do you feel like you’ve observed 2 Timothy 2:13 in your own life?…if we are faithless, he remains faithful, for he cannot deny himself.- Why would the Jewish leaders and priests simply repair the torn curtain that guarded the Holy of Holies in the Temple, and continue as though nothing had happened?- Do you think most people aren’t Christians due to a lack of evidence? And if not evidence, then what?- What ungodly political compromises might Christians be tempted to support in the name of pragmatism (as the Jewish leaders did in Jesus’ day)?
