<![CDATA[Center Points Christian Fellowship - Blog]]>Mon, 10 Feb 2025 06:08:56 -0800Weebly<![CDATA[The Perfect High Priest]]>Sun, 06 Mar 2022 11:49:59 GMThttp://centerpoints.org/blog/the-perfect-high-priest
The greatest blessing we have is that God became man because He loved us so much that He would go to the cross and personally die for our sins. The Bible explains in John 1:14 that God became flesh and dwelt among us.

Jesus Christ became like us. He sanctified life by assuming a full human nature without sin by means of his incarnation. He was fully human and fully God. Jesus Christ is God. Jesus Christ is man. The Bible puts these two great truths of full deity and full humanity together. When we look to Jesus, we see God himself. Jesus said in John 14:9 (ESV), “…Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. …” What makes Jesus so unique is he is the only one in whom we may see God.

Jesus fully experienced what it means to be a man. He experienced all that we experience with the one exception, and that is, that he never sinned in thought or deed. This is why he can be our great high priest and intercessor.

Jesus never experienced personal sin, but he was reckoned a sinner on our behalf and died as our substitute. The incarnation made it possible for Jesus to die. God cannot die. However, a human body made it possible for Jesus Christ to die on the cross and pay our penalty for sin. Three days later he was resurrected in his physical body and later ascended into heaven. Our eternal destiny depends upon our relationship to the eternal truth in Jesus Christ.

Therefore, the writer of Hebrews says in Hebrews 4:15-16 (ESV), “For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”

Because He’s God and man, Jesus fully displays His love and tender compassion towards us. We can come to him expecting full, tender, deep sympathy and compassion. Our great high priest is ever ready to strengthen and comfort, to heal and restore the wounded believer. He is always ready and prepared to receive all who call upon him at the throne of grace. In 2 Corinthians 12:9 (ESV), Christ tells Paul (and us), “My grace is sufficient for you.” 

We have a wondrous provision of God’s grace in our time of testing. It is always available to us. Our exalted high priest is the Son of God. Hebrews 4:14 (ESV) says, “Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.” 

The invitation is always open to confidently approach the throne of grace to receive mercy and find grace whenever we need help.

We’ve been given the opportunity to approach the throne of God, moment by moment, every day with honesty and openness. We can come as we are to talk with Jesus confidentiality, say how we feel, say what we’re feeling, confess all our sins, and ask what we need in confidence. We can do this because it’s His blood, that He offered up as the supreme sacrifice, as our perfect High Priest. His blood cleanses us from all sin and unrighteousness, and the Holy Spirit can refresh us spiritually, on a daily basis.

Have a safe and blessed day,

Pastor Chuck

<![CDATA[Living By A New Standard]]>Sun, 27 Feb 2022 07:37:32 GMThttp://centerpoints.org/blog/living-by-a-new-standard
As Christians, the world is not our standard for living. God has called us to live by a new standard.
 
The apostle Paul stressed in Romans 12:2 (ESV), “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.”
 
Then in Ephesians 4:24 (ESV), he writes, “And to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.”
 
When we place our faith in Jesus Christ, we are rejecting the ways of the world and embracing the truth of the gospel. Christ says in John 14:6, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” Because Christ is the only way to God the Father, when we accept Him as our savior our whole life changes and our standards change. What a profound significance this is for the person in Christ.
 
In Ephesians 4:25-31, Paul instructs us as Believers in Jesus Christ to discontinue several practices in our lives so we may live to a higher standard of conduct. We need to make a commitment to God and to ourselves to cultivate positive changes that will affect our relationships with family and friends, as well as our business practices and lifestyle.
 
We need to put off bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, slander, indignation, malice, stealing, unwholesome (literally means, “corrupt speech), callousness, and greed which all come from the former manner of life in the world, that is filled with deceitful desires that grieves The Holy Spirit.
 
Instead, we need to nurture a proper attitude towards others, speaking in truthfulness and edification, building each other up, working honestly, being kind to one another, being tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as Christ has forgiven us.
 
By allowing the Holy Spirit to refresh our minds, it’s easier to live an honest, open, transparent life style. It allows us to walk in the high standard of Christian behavior Paul is describing.
 
Have a safe and blessed day,
 
Pastor Chuck

<![CDATA[Maintaining A Clear Conscience]]>Sun, 20 Feb 2022 09:25:34 GMThttp://centerpoints.org/blog/maintaining-a-clear-conscience
One of the greatest blessings for the born-again Christian is the deep sense of peace with God. Philippians 4:7 (ESV) says, “And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
 
The apostle Paul wrote in Romans 9:1 (ESV), “I am speaking the truth in Christ—I am not lying; my conscience bears me witness in the Holy Spirit.”
 
Paul makes a strong, positive affirmation in Christ, a statement that he is not lying, and the appeal to his conscience as a co-witness “in the Holy Spirit.” Paul looked to Christ and rejoiced; he looked at the lost in sin and wept. He had deep feelings about these things.
 
The conscience is that faculty of mankind that evaluates our actions, along with our thoughts that either accuse or excuse us of sin. Our conscience is an important part of human nature the world over. It is not an absolute trustworthy indicator of what is right or wrong but it does act as a gauge we can look at. Observing people, I’ve seen that we can have a “good” conscience, a “clear” conscience, a “guilty” conscience, a “corrupted” conscience, a “weak” conscience, and/or a “seared” conscience.
 
The marvelous thing about the gospel is that “the blood of Christ” cleanses the conscience. In Hebrews 9:14 (ESV), the writer of Hebrews says, “How much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God.”
 
To maintain a good, clear conscience that is sensitive to the Spirit of God we must confess our sins to The Lord. The Holy Spirit always uses God’s Word to reveal sin to us. When the Spirit uses our conscience to reprove us, we need to listen to Him, and take action to resolve the issue. We can claim His forgiveness based on the atoning blood of Jesus Christ. 1 John 1:9 affirms that when we confess our sins, Jesus forgives our sins and cleanses us of all our unrighteousness.
 
Blessings and live with a peaceful mind and heart in Christ,

<![CDATA[A Christian Witness To The World]]>Sun, 13 Feb 2022 08:55:39 GMThttp://centerpoints.org/blog/a-christian-witness-to-the-world
In Matthew 24:14 Jesus said, “And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.”

Today the kingdom of God is realized as we proclaim the crucified, risen, and returning Lord Jesus Christ. The gospel is the good news of the Kingdom of God that has come in the person and work of Jesus Christ. How do we enter into the kingdom of God? There is only one way, and that is to believe on Jesus Christ and repent of our sins. That is the message we preach.

Our message is the gospel of free grace. It’s what God has accomplished for us in the sacrificial substitutionary atoning death of Jesus Christ for our sins. As Christ’s followers we freely share the good news of the gospel to the world. It’s imperative that we make the message of salvation clear to others in our presentations of the gospel message. 

Remember, salvation is the gift of God. Ephesians 2:8 (ESV) tells us, “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God.” God has provided everything we need in order to be saved. There is nothing we can do of ourselves to be saved, it’s only by accepting the gift we have been offered. Acts 16:31 (ESV) tells us to “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved.”    

Every time we share the message, we are personally involved in what God is doing in building His eternal kingdom. God equips us with what we need to present the good news. So, we can expect God’s power and sustaining grace to meet all of our needs as we take the good news to a lost world. 

The Holy Spirit gives boldness to testify under all circumstances for Christ. Matthew 10:20 (ESV), verifies that the Holy Spirit gives us what to say, “For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.” Success in personal witnessing is simply sharing Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit and then leaving the results up to God.

Our job is to be faithful to Christ under all circumstances, and because The Lord is sovereign in His kingdom, whatever we experience as His servants is fully known to Him and happens ultimately for our good and His eternal glory. Our responsibilities as witnesses are great for all believers and the rewards of being faithful to the Lord Jesus Christ are eternal.

Blessings,

Pastor Chuck

<![CDATA[We Are The Temple Of God]]>Thu, 27 Jan 2022 23:14:55 GMThttp://centerpoints.org/blog/we-are-the-temple-of-god
In the Old Testament the LORD God had a temple for His people; however, in the New Testament He has His people for a temple.
 
1 Corinthians 3:16 (ESV), the apostle Paul says, “Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you? The reason he can say that is because we have been redeemed by the death of Jesus Christ.  Because of redemption, the Holy Spirit has taken up residence in the life of redeemed believers.
 
We see in the Word of God, before Christ’s sacrifice on the cross, the tabernacle and later the temple were given over entirely to God for His sacred use.  They were called “holy” because they were separated and used for His purpose and His glory alone. It symbolized the house of God on the earth.
 
Under the dispensation of grace, the Christian is now called God’s temple. The believer yields his or her whole life, without any reservation to God. Our bodies are sacred temples, holy unto the Lord, and the Apostle Paul reminds us of the importance of this commitment.  Romans 12:1 (ESV) says, “I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.
 
When Moses dedicated the tabernacle to God, He filled it with His glory. When King Solomon completed the temple and dedicated it to the Lord. 1 Kings 8:10-11 (ESV) tells us, “And when the priests came out of the Holy Place, a cloud filled the house of the Lord, so that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud, for the glory of the Lord filled the house of the Lord.”
 
Jesus makes a comforting comment in John 14:23 (ESV), “Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.” When we believe on Jesus and accept Him as our personal savior, the Holy Spirit of God dwells within us. Romans 8:9a (ESV) says, “You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you.
 
As God took up residence in His temple and dwelt it so He could bless His people, and they in turn could bless the world. The Holy Spirit dwells within the temple of our body, taking up residence, and begins the re-creation of Christ in us, to the glory of the Father. As we yield to His sovereignty, and make ourselves available to Him, He is blessing and changing the world through us. Plus, we have all the benefits of being God’s children and He brings us to the fullness of His life. Praise God.
 
Blessings,
 
Pastor Chuck

<![CDATA[Counting On Jesus Christ]]>Sun, 23 Jan 2022 01:00:03 GMThttp://centerpoints.org/blog/counting-on-jesus-christ
Everything in the Christian life depends upon what Christ has done for us on the cross, and what He continues to do in and through us as He lives His life in us. Not only has He died for us, but also, through a spiritual union of the believer with Him, we are “in Christ,” and He is “in us.”
 
The most important principle of sanctification is believing in what God Himself has already done for us. Sanctification is a translation of the Greek word “hagiasmos,” meaning “holiness” or “a separation.” For the Christian, sanctification is a state of separation unto God; all believers enter into this state when they are born of God.
 
1 Corinthians 1:30 (ESV) says, “You are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption.”
 
The key to our progressive sanctification is in knowing that God has taken us out of our old way of life and has joined us to Jesus Christ. We are no longer subject to the reign of sin and death, but are now transferred to the kingdom of God.
 
In Romans 6:11 the apostle Paul says our responsibility is to consider (reckon) ourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus. We are to be constantly counting upon the fact that we are dead to sin, but also alive to God in Christ Jesus.
 
The word translated "reckon" or "consider" is a key word in the apostle Paul's teaching on sanctification. He calls upon us to "count, reckon, impute" on certain facts. It is an accounting word that means to take into account, to calculate, to estimate. We are to impute or "to put to one's account" certain facts. It simply means to believe that what God says in His Word is really true in our life.
 
Paul is admonishing the believer in Christ to recognize something that has already been accomplished as a fact. We are to consider, and keep constantly before us, this truth about who we are in Christ and our relationship with Him.
 
Jesus died as the substitute for our sins. According to Isaiah 53:5-6 He suffered for our transgressions. According to Romans 6:23, the wages of sin is death, which causes us to owe a great debt to God. That debt has been fully paid by Christ’s substitutionary death on the cross. That is a fact to be considered every day. It’s our responsibility to count upon this fact and apply it to our daily lives.
 
He not only died for our sins, but God has credited the perfect righteousness of Jesus Christ to our accounting ledger. His right standing in the Father’s sight has been transferred to our account, and God now accounts us righteous in Christ according to 2 Corinthians 5:21.
 
The critical point is that the born-again Christian can count as true, this great fact as God sees it. It’s a completed transaction. God has acquitted us. We must reckon as true what God has already done for us. We are no longer subject to the reign of sin and death. We are now under the power of the kingdom of God and His rule by grace.
 
The apostle Paul did not tell us to “feel” a certain way, but to “act” on God's Word and claim these truths for ourselves. When we count on these facts they result in actions and changes in our behaviors. We act by faith on what we know to be the truth. The result is a behavioral change.
 
Sin has not been eradicated from the believer, but we are freed from the bondage of sin. We were slaves whose bondage has been broken. We were slaves to our sinful nature, who have now become new creatures in Christ.
 
Through the resurrection of Jesus from the dead, we have His assurance of eternal life. The sharing in this resurrection life of Christ begins at the moment of regeneration, but it will continue as a believer shares eternity with the Lord. This new life we have is eternal in its quality is everlasting in duration. A life of holiness begins with a change in the way we think about what Christ did for us. The working of sanctification within us is done by the Power of God.
 
In the past, God granted us justification, a once-for-all, positional holiness in Christ. Now, God guides us to maturity, a practical, progressive holiness. In the future, God will give us glorification, a permanent, ultimate holiness. These three phases of sanctification separate the believer from the penalty of sin (justification), the power of sin (maturity), and the presence of sin (glorification).
 
Blessings,

<![CDATA[The New Year Is Here]]>Thu, 30 Dec 2021 00:14:07 GMThttp://centerpoints.org/blog/the-new-year-is-here
We are ending an old year and beginning a new year. Some people dread this time of change while others see it as a time for reevaluations and a season of new beginnings.
 
Remember, we can’t live on yesterday's blessings and achievements, and we shouldn’t dwell on yesterday's failures, disappointments, and unfulfilled goals and dreams. This is a time to learn from the past and move forward into the present and the future.
 
The beginning of a New Year can be a season of something new for us. It's a time to look ahead with a sense of anticipation and excitement towards the new things God wants to do in our lives. It is a season of setting new goals and putting into effect those things we’ve have been putting off doing.
 
We can do this by relying on the Holy Spirit to help and equip us. Colossians 1:29 (NASB) says, “For this purpose I also labor, striving according to His power which works mightily within me.”
 
Mightily is from the Greek word “dunamis,”, which means miraculous power, a miracle, ability, abundance, meaning, mighty deed, power, strength, violence, mighty.
 
The major reason unbelievers have a hard time fulfilling their new year's resolutions is because they are doing it with their own strength. As Christians, God has given to us the Holy Spirit and all things that pertain to life and godliness.
 
We can build on past successes and learn from our past failures. We all have failures in life. It's what we do with them and how we respond to them that makes the difference. The way we deal with failure can determine how we sustain motivation. Failures are only temporary tests to prepare us for the future and its permanent triumphs.
 
We don’t always achieve our goals, but we will never reach any of them if we don’t attempt to reach them. So, as we move forward into the next year, we need to set new goals. We should think of a goal as a target. When we aim for a target, we should always aim for the bullseye, but even professional target shooters don’t always hit the center every time. But remember, we can only achieve what we try for, so we need to do our best.
 
Proverbs 29:18 (KJV), “Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.” Without vision and direction, we will cast off all restraint and not fulfill those areas of change that the Lord wants to bring into our lives. I encourage you to think about what your goals are for the coming year and the write them down. A good idea is to make notes on our progress and check them off when they are reached.
 
As we allow God to direct us into the New Year, we can expect the Holy Spirit to lead us into new beginnings. We should have a great expectation in our hearts, that new things and new seasons are going to break forth in our lives, because this is God’s desire towards us. It’s just a matter of us agreeing with God’s will and purpose for our lives, and allowing Him to work through us.
 
Many blessings and a Happy New Year,
 
Pastor Chuck

<![CDATA[Christmas Eve]]>Sun, 26 Dec 2021 07:15:16 GMThttp://centerpoints.org/blog/christmas-eve
Christmas Eve isn’t just the night before Christmas.
 It has a unique identity, with traditions and an energy all its own.
 While many people spend, a sleepy Christmas Day secluded with family,  …
 Christmas Eve is known for being busy, social, and – perhaps most of all – merry.
 It’s filled with last minute shopping, (not me, I did almost all of it online this year).
 Finishing up the gift wrapping,
 Parties, etc.
 Christmas Eve may also be the last chance, we have to see people for awhile, as friends, coworkers, and classmates, etc., spend the day traveling home for the holidays.
 There is a lot of fun during this season…
 But there can also be some issues.
 It seems like some people don’t like to be happy.
 The fraying, of the fabric of our social life today, is different than when I was a kid.
 With the commercialism, that is so rampant. it can bring a false sense of spirituality.
 And the clang of the cash register, is not the jingle of bells, we know, in the song, that calls us to warm memories.
Many of the People I talked to this month would say Happy Holidays, as a greeting, and I always answered with Merry Christmas.
 Almost, every one of them would say, oh, yeah, Merry Christmas and would give a big smile.
 Many people are told to greet people with Happy Holidays, so as not to offend anyone.
 I say Merry Christmas because He’s the reason for the Holiday.
 You see, Jesus Came to make things different.
 Because Jesus makes things different, …..
 
1.    Jesus Calls Us To Make A Difference In The Society.
 So what are some of the positive ways to do that?
 Smile at someone everyday.
 If you’re by yourself, smile in the mirror..
 Speak positive words of greetings.
 Hug someone instead of ignoring him or her.
 Build bridges instead of walls.
 Love instead of hate.
 Work together, not in opposition.
 
2.    Jesus Impacts Individuals.
 Yes, Jesus came to impact society, but He does it, one person at a time.
 WE all matter to God.
 When reading the Bible, I am so impressed, with the individual attention, Jesus gives to individuals.
 He talked one on one with people, such as Nicodemus, Philip, Nathanael, Mary, Martha, John the Baptist, an invalid at Bethesda, Peter and many more.
 We will never be lost in the crowd, when it comes to Jesus.
 He knows each one of us individually.
 The Bible says each individual is known so intimately, that even the number of the hairs on our heads are numbered.
 And as I like to say, or the lack of hairs on our heads as well.
 So whatever we’re going through, God will help us individually.
 Break down the walls, that keep Him away from us, and be open to Him.
 Read His Word, pray and listen.
 
3.    Jesus Impacts Us Spiritually.
 The bottom line of Christmas is, that it’s, a new life and a new beginning.
 Probably the most quoted verse in the Bible is John 3:16 with good reason.
 “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
 The spiritual impact, is a divine love, that reaches down to us, lasting for all eternity, to all who believe, and accept His love.
 When we look at the nativity scene this Christmas, be reminded of why He came. I
 It’s truly, a birth that should inspires us.

Merry Christmas Blessings To You All,

Pastor Chuck

<![CDATA[My Favorite Christmas Memories]]>Sun, 19 Dec 2021 09:13:27 GMThttp://centerpoints.org/blog/my-favorite-christmas-memories
Each year when Christmas rolls around, I can't help but think of all the years gone by, and how much I have always loved this season. Sure, I looked forward to giving and receiving presents, but it was so much more.
 
It’s the feeling I get when memories flood my mind of spending time with my mom, sisters and brothers. Dad left when I was young, but he would come for an afternoon from out of town to visit, and he would bring us each a gift, and a giant candy cane. I loved seeing my dad, but my Mom was always there for us, and I appreciate her more than she ever knew.
 
The time spent with my family was so special, and I miss them so much. We would get a tree if we could afford one, or we used a second-hand artificial tree mom had stored away if we couldn’t. We made decorations of paper chains, strings of popcorn, tinsel made of aluminum foil cut into thin strips, and some strings of mismatched lights.
 
Then mom would put one thing on the tree, that one of my sisters says “was something she didn’t particularly like,” but mom did. She would place Angel Hair on the tree. My mother used to spend what felt like hours teasing it all out and spreading it around our tree to give it an almost snowy look. The white “angel hair” was spun fiberglass, which is what allowed that beautiful drape and give the tree a shimmering uniformity, but is dangerous and was later taken off the market (but hey, mom loved it).
 
I loved the colorful old wrapping paper, the ribbons, bows, and all the different colors and designs. It was especially fun to wrap the presents, but of course I was all thumbs when trying to make it look just right. It was also a challenge to hide the presents, which was necessary, because one of my sisters (she knows who she is) liked to pull back the wrapping to find out what people were getting.
 
We would stay awake until midnight on Christmas Eve listening to Christmas music on the record player and watching Christmas movies on our black and white television. We would eat popcorn balls and other treats my mom and my sisters made. Mom would open her Bible and we would open ours. She would read the Christmas story and we marveled at the greatest story ever told about our God who sent His Son to be born in a lowly manger. How one day He would die and raise again, and if we accepted Him as our Savior, we could spend eternity with Him and each other forever.
 
Then, when midnight arrived, we would all shout Merry Christmas and open our gifts. What a great and exciting time that was. 
 
How I miss those days, and I miss my family that has gone on to be with Jesus. One day, sometime in the future, we will all be together again, and that will be a Christmas event that will last for eternity.  Thank you Jesus!


Blessings,

<![CDATA[Christians Need To Stand With Israel]]>Thu, 04 Nov 2021 06:31:25 GMThttp://centerpoints.org/blog/christians-need-to-stand-with-israel
Today I want to focus on the need for Christians to stand with Israel. Israel is one of the smallest nations on earth, about the size of New Jersey, but it’s also one of the most important. This small area of land has been the center of seemingly endless conflicts and controversies throughout history.

Israeli citizens are made up of Jews, Christians, and Muslims, as well as people of other beliefs and non-belief. They support the freedom of the press and the freedom to speak their mind without threat of governmental reprisal. They also believe that nations should have sovereign control over their own borders, including the right to protect themselves.

As the Creator of Heaven and Earth in Genesis 1:1, Israel belongs to God, and 
God has the right of ownership to the universe, therefore He can give His land to whomever He chooses. We find in the Bible that God promised Abraham, the father of the Jews, that He would give to him and his descendants the land that currently makes up modern day Israel (along with more land which they will eventually own).  See Genesis 15:18–21. 

In Genesis 26:3; Genesis 28:13; and Genesis 32:28, God confirmed that promise to Abraham’s son Isaac and his grandson Jacob, who was later called Israel. God gave the title deed of the land of Israel to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and their descendants forever.

The Jew’s are, biblically speaking, the "Chosen People of God" and dearly loved by Him. Israel is very important and much of the future of the world will affected by what happens there. In the book of Zechariah God calls Israel “the apple of His eye.” 
Zechariah 2:8 (ESV), “For this is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘For thus said the Lord of hosts, after his glory sent me to the nations who plundered you, for he who touches you touches the apple of his eye.’”

God’s eternal purpose is to bless the world through Israel. If we just look at the great innovations that are coming out of Israel such as medicine, energy, technology, including desalination technology, producing water out of the air, and numerous advances in food growth and production is a blessing to the entire world (even if the world doesn’t acknowledge it). This proves what Genesis 12:3 says, “I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” 

God has used Israel to bring us the message of the prophets, the Scriptures, and, ultimately the Messiah, Jesus Christ to the world. 

Spiritually, as Christians, we need to support Israel because the land of Israel is the birthplace of our Christian faith. It’s the place where Jesus Christ lived, was crucified and died, rose from the dead, and ascended into Heaven. Israel is also the place where Jesus, the Messiah, will one day return and establish His future earthly kingdom with Jerusalem as His capitol.

God loves and cares for His chosen people, the Jews, and the nation of Israel. We can see from history, that nations have been destroyed because of their evil dealings with God’s chosen people. Christian believers need to stand and give support to the chosen people of God, and most definitely we should support Israel’s right to exist. God will fulfill His promises and covenants with Israel because God still has a plan for Israel.

Be diligent and always look for the truth.

Blessings,

Pastor Chuck
