In today’s sermon, Pastor Chad Holland, from King of Kings Community Jerusalem, tackles the pressing issues facing our world and brings them into perspective through the lens of Scripture. With the world in turmoil, many of us are seeking answers and hope. Pastor Chad reminds us of the importance of being informed and discerning about the news we consume and emphasizes the critical role Israel plays in God’s grand narrative.
Israel, a nation at the heart of many global conflicts, is not just another country. It is the only democracy in the Middle East and a pivotal player in the spiritual battles that affect us all. Despite its imperfections, Israel is a beacon of resilience and a key defender against terrorism, standing as a protective shield for many. Pastor Chad invites us to see ourselves as part of this biblical story and to understand the significance of Israel in our spiritual lives.
Diving into Romans chapter 11, Pastor Chad breaks down three key points:
1. Israel’s Relevance to Us: How God’s treatment of Israel mirrors His treatment of us. Despite Israel’s imperfections, God remains patient and merciful, a reflection of His grace towards us.
2. Israel’s Role in Delivering Revelation: From the introduction of monotheism to the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, Israel has been the conduit through which God has delivered His major revelations to the world.
3. The Future Revival: Just as the first great revival started in Israel, Pastor Chad explains why the final great revival will also begin there, urging us to partner in this divine plan.
Through the story of Jonah, Pastor Chad illustrates the enduring anointing on the Jewish people to bring God’s message to the world, regardless of their personal failings. This sermon is a powerful reminder of our connection to Israel and our role in God’s unfolding story of redemption.
