The Story of the Bible - Part 4: What's the Big Deal With Israel?

On today's show, we're talking about Israel: Who they are, why they are, and what their role is in the world. And we'll also talk a bit about the purpose of the Law of Moses in Israel's history. It's probably not what you think. And in so doing, I'm going to give you some thoughts that should help you read the Law more profitably.

We'll be talking about Israel's role as a light to the nations and as a kingdom of priests. All of this is preparing us for Jesus' Kingdom announcement in the gospels.

On another note, please stay safe during the pandemic. I talk briefly at the beginning of the show about the situation we're all facing, and while you certainly don't need another talking head giving advice (in fact, you probably need fewer people doing that), I do offer a few simple suggestions, mostly pertaining to how we need to continue to be Christ's body during all this mess while praying it ends soon.

Please stay safe. I'm praying for all of you!

Shalom!
