Does Your Church Support Israel?

Can you say with confidence that your church supports Israel? This is a question that should be answered with a resounding YES, but this isn't truly the case in our modern-day Christianity.


First, we need to define who we mean when we are talking about Israel. Are we talking about the Israeli government? The entirety of the population in the Middle Eastern nation? The decision makers of the IDF? The answer to that is no.

The Israel our church should fervently and religiously love and support is the precious Jewish people. Israel is not just the Jewish people overseas, but it's the Jewish people next door. It's all the diaspora that was unfortunately scattered worldwide -- they remain the Father's chosen people.

Some Christians get mad when we talk about loving and blessing the Jewish people, they don't understand the family to which we have been grafted in to.

Ephesians 3:6: That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:

We are blessed to be fellow heirs, not fellow heirs with Jesus (as some incorrectly interpret the verse to be saying), but rather fellow heirs with Israel.

We know that the Jewish people have a veil over their eyes because of the unbelief of their ancestors, but they remain a special people in the eyes of the Father.

Some churches are infected with the evil and dangerous idea of replacement theology, and they feel that they have superseded Israel in God's covenant with them.

Other churches don't subscribe to a replacement model of thinking, but they just don't seem to care. The same churches rarely mention the OT because they believe it to be primarily done away with.

If your church isn't mentioning Israel, isn't standing with His people in these very difficult times, then the change starts with you! Be a voice for the Father's precious people, and support those who brought us our sacred Scriptures and our Messiah.

  • Start prayer groups that regularly meet and intercede on behalf of the chosen people.

  • Ask your pastor where they stand on Israel and the Jewish people (and make sure your church isn't promoting replacement theology!)

Purim 2023: G-d's Faithfulness to His Chosen People

On March 6th and 7th 2023, the Jewish people will celebrate  Purim or The Feast of Lots . It is a triumphant time which symbolizes G-d's faithfulness to the protection and prosperity of the Jewish people. For us as gentiles, it is a wonderful time to acknowledge the Jewish communities "chosenness" as the apple of G-d's eye, and by extension, anyone born again as a Christian can partake in this "chosenness". "What Purim reaffirms to Christians and Jews alike is the fact that the everyday life is infused with G-d's presence and is under His control" ( One For Israel ). A Simple Summary of Esther (The Purim Story) King Ahasuerus whose kingdom stretched from India to Ethiopia (ancient Persia) threw a party to celebrate and acknowledge his reign and success. First, he threw a 180-day party with representatives from all 127 of the regions under his control, and after that, he threw a week-long party just for residents from his capital city of Shusha

Replacement Theology: The "Jewish Problem" in Modern Christianity

If we want to be serious followers of Jesus (Yeshua), we must be serious followers of His word. If we look at what His word calls of us, we (as modern Christians) have a major problem,  a Jewish problem.  Our 21st-century church's trend in abandoning her recognition and responsibility toward Israel is leading to many Christians replacing it with Western and secularized philosophies. Many Christians no longer believe that Israel and the Jewish people hold any significance in our walk with God. The relationship between Christianity and Judaism has evolved significantly over the past two thousand years, and the reasons for the changing importance of Israel and the Jewish people to the modern Christian Church are messy and complex. One factor is the growing secularization of Western societies and churches, which has led many Christians to prioritize social justice issues, such as poverty, racism, and environmental degradation, over theological debates about the relationship between Chr

Shalom! This is a plea to my fellow Christians. We need to remember the precious Jewish people… Ephesians 3:6 (NMV):   That the Goyim [Gentiles] should be fellow heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Moshiach [Messiah] by the Gospel (joyful message) When we gift a scripture to a Jew, we honor the legacy of our spiritual ancestors who paved the way for our spiritual growth. It is an acknowledgment of the debt of gratitude we owe to the Jewish people for preserving the teachings of the Old Testament and passing them down through generations.
