Jesus only saves SINNERS! Jesus saves anybody who recognizes they are a sinner and ask Jesus for salvation. I Corinthians 6:9-11 makes it very clear that Jesus saves fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, effeminate, abusers of themselves with mankind, thieves, covetous people, drunkards, revilers and extortioners. Joshua 2 explains that Rabah the harlot was a true believer when she helped Israel destroy her city, but Joshua 6:22-23 reveals she saved her entire family from destruction. Matthew 4:23-25 reveals the type of people who listened to the sermon on the mount, but also there were there listening some who said they prophesied in the name of Jesus, they cast out devils in the name of Jesus, and in the name of Jesus did many wonderful works, but Jesus said he never knew them. Luke 23:39-43 states that Jesus even saved the thief on the cross, a man so worthless the Roman government put him to death! John 3, John 7:45-53 and John 19:38-39 declares that Jesus also saved religious, but lost people, such as Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea, a secret disciple because he was afraid of the Jews. Jesus can save anybody, even you, if you are lost. Come to Jesus and confess your sins to him and him alone. He knows all about you and he can and will forgive you and freely give you eternal life.

2:56 In the parable of the rich man and Lazarus does the rich man have a physical body in the intermediate state? 6:17 How do you suggest that we conduct a men's Bible study? 10:30 What is your opinion of the midterm political elections as a Christian? 24:43 Why in the Millennial Kingdom do the Jews have to adhere to the Old Testament ceremonies? 40:29 How do I know I've been saved? 47:30 Is repentance a condition for salvation and is it considered a work according to dispensationalism?

This is a reading of an article which argues that the Church is not a replacement for Israel but the fulfillment of God's covenant promises, gathered around Jesus Christ as the central seed of Abraham. Drawing primarily on Romans 11, the text presents the metaphor of a single olive tree where both Jewish and Gentile believers are grafted into one body by faith, rejecting the notion of two separate peoples of God. The discussion expands to show how Old Testament themes of land, priesthood, and kingdom find their ultimate substance in Christ, transforming the promise of Canaan into the inheritance of the renewed creation. The tone is pastoral and instructional, urging believers to view the modern state of Israel through the lens of civil providence rather than redemptive fulfillment, while maintaining a posture of love and evangelism toward Jewish people. Ultimately, the sermon concludes that all distinctions are resolved in the one city, one people, and one Lamb, where the glory of God is fully realized.

Learning to Fear the Lord The ABCs of the Kingdom of God Key Scriptures: Proverbs 1:7; Proverbs 9:10; Deuteronomy 17:18–20; Jeremiah 9:23–24 Message Summary The fear of the Lord is the foundation of all kingdom wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. Just as the ABCs form the foundation of reading and writing, the fear of the Lord forms the foundation of everything we do for God's glory. To fear the Lord is to give Him His rightful place in our lives, recognizing that His wisdom, authority, and understanding are greater than our own. The more we come to know the Lord, the more we reverence Him, love Him, and desire to walk in His ways. True wisdom is not simply accumulating biblical information but developing an intimate relationship with God through Jesus Christ. The more we know Him, the more we learn to love what He loves and delight in what delights Him. Proverbs teaches us to recognize the patterns and consequences of life so that we can walk wisely without having to experience every danger ourselves. From the garden of Eden, we discover two competing approaches to life: God calls us to listen to Him so that we can learn how to live, while Satan tempts us to live independently of God and learn through experience. We don't have to experience everything God warns us against to know that His warnings are true. In Deuteronomy 17, God instructed Israel's kings to keep a personal copy of His Word, read it continually, and learn to fear Him. The purpose was to guard their hearts against pride, ground them in truth, grip them with His instruction, and guide them in righteousness. These same principles benefit every follower of Jesus today. Psalm 81 reveals God's desire

Today is the anniversary of Kristallnacht, or the Night of the Broken Glass, an infamous time of Nazi Germany carrying out a pogrom against Jews.  Yesterday, on the eve of Kristallnacht, Jewish businesses were targeted in Philadelphia with a so-called "boycott ride."  We'll discuss that issue today. Also, many are asking, is there a turning underway in how the United States views Israel?  Many of the Socialists Democrats have spoken loudly their opposition to Israel, and now with last week's election, there are also Republicans rethinking their position.  As a matter of fact, Israel has even been blamed for the recent U.S. election results. We also take a look at the war with Iran, what is happening and why some are saying that Iran has won especially with the result of the election.  The United States is not the only country holding elections, Israel also voted and we'll get the latest on where things stand and what coalition is garnering the most votes to propel the office of Prime Minister.  Joining us today on these and related issues is  Chris Katulka. Chris is the Vice President of North American Ministries at The Friends of Israel Gospel Ministry and host of The Friends of Israel Today radio program.  He is a Bible teacher, and writer for Israel My Glory magazine and is author of the book, "Israel Always."

In All Things… …HEAR HIM IN ALL THINGS The Prophet, the Playbook, and the Blessing of Following Jesus Primary Scriptures: Deuteronomy 11–13; Deuteronomy 18:15–22; Joshua 11:15; Acts 3:22–26 Central Truth: God sent Jesus not merely to improve our circumstances, but to rescue us from our sins, turn us from ourselves, and bring us into the blessing of hearing, trusting, and following Him in all things. This message emphasizes the importance of remaining faithful to God's revealed Word rather than allowing personal desires, extraordinary experiences, cultural influences, or even close relationships to lead us away from Him. In Deuteronomy 11, Moses places before Israel the blessing and the curse, represented by Mount Gerizim and Mount Ebal. These mountains illustrate the distinction between walking in obedience to God and turning away from His instruction. The issue was not merely hearing God's Word, but hearkening to it with the intention of obeying. God's people were being taught that His blessings were inseparably connected to their relationship with Him and their willingness to trust His ways. Joshua 11:15 reveals the importance of faithfully following God's playbook. What the Lord commanded Moses, Moses communicated to Joshua, and Joshua faithfully carried out. He did not need to invent another way or improve upon God's revelation. Likewise, we have been entrusted with the Word of God, not to change it, but to believe it, live by it, and pass it along to others. Deuteronomy 18 introduces the promise of a greater Prophet, fulfilled in Jesus Christ. Moses was a faithful servant and mediator under the old covenant, but Jesus is the Son of God and the Mediator of the

How do we deal with change? Great question. We recognize that everything happens according to God's will, refuse to doubt God's Word, don't take God's goodness for granted, and never forget where we came from and who got us there.

In this passage of Revelation, we learn that "our heaven in the future" will begin with a thousand years on this earth.

"Now these be the last words of David. David the son of Jesse said, and the man who was raised up on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the sweet psalmist of Israel, said, The Spirit of the Lord spake by me, and his word was in my tongue. The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spake to me, He that ruleth over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God. And he shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, even a morning without clouds; as the tender grass springing out of the earth by clear shining after rain. Although my house be not so with God; yet he hath made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things, and sure: for this is all my salvation, and all my desire, although he make it not to grow." 2 Samuel 23:1-5

In Joshua 10:1–11, we witness a powerful demonstration of God's sovereignty, faithfulness, and judgment. When five Amorite kings unite to attack Gibeon, Joshua responds to the Gibeonites' desperate appeal for help, honoring Israel's covenant despite the deception through which it was established. God reassures Joshua, commanding him not to fear and promising victory. Joshua marches through the night, but the resulting triumph belongs entirely to the Lord. God confounds the enemy and sends devastating hailstones, demonstrating that victory comes not through human strength but through divine intervention. This account teaches believers the importance of keeping their promises, trusting God's Word, and depending upon His power rather than their own abilities. Just as God sustained Israel in battle, He sustains Christians in their continuing struggle against sin through His Word and the Holy Spirit. The destruction of the Amorites also reveals God's righteous judgment against persistent rebellion and foreshadows the final judgment awaiting mankind. Joshua 10:1-11

This sermon concludes the book of Galatians by examining Paul's exclusive boast in the cross of Jesus Christ as the sole source of spiritual blessing and redemption. It contrasts the man-centered boasting of false teachers, who sought to secure their own glory through circumcision and escape persecution, with the believer's reliance on the new birth and the death of the world to the self. The message emphasizes that true righteousness is motivated by a high view of God and results in a life marked by the love and service of Christ rather than external religious observances. Believers are encouraged to walk according to the rule of the Gospel, recognizing themselves as the true Israel of God who possess peace and mercy through grace. The sermon calls for a transformative application of this truth, urging the church to bear the marks of Christ through sacrificial love and to rest in the sufficiency of His grace.

Joshua 20:1-9 (KJV) The LORD also spake unto Joshua, saying, 2 Speak to the children of Israel, saying, Appoint out for you cities of refuge, whereof I spake unto you by the hand of Moses: 3 That the slayer that killeth any person unawares and unwittingly may flee thither: and they shall be your refuge from the avenger of blood. 4 And when he that doth flee unto one of those cities shall stand at the entering of the gate of the city, and shall declare his cause in the ears of the elders of that city, they shall take him into the city unto them, and give him a place, that he may dwell among them. 5 And if the avenger of blood pursue after him, then they shall not deliver the slayer up into his hand; because he smote his neighbour unwittingly, and hated him not beforetime. 6 And he shall dwell in that city, until he stand before the congregation for judgment, and until the death of the high priest that shall be in those days: then shall the slayer return, and come unto his own city, and unto his own house, unto the city from whence he fled. 7 And they appointed Kedesh in Galilee in mount Naphtali, and Shechem in mount Ephraim, and Kirjath-arba, which is Hebron, in the mountain of Judah. 8 And on the other side Jordan by Jericho eastward, they assigned Bezer in the wilderness upon the plain out of the tribe of Reuben, and Ramoth in Gilead out of the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan out of the tribe of Manasseh. 9 These were the cities appointed for all the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them, that whosoever killeth any person at unawares might flee thither, and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, until he stood before....
