—What Matters, Matters— God is moving in unprecedented ways, and we can see evidence of this in many places, including Israel. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses Israel and its significance to the Church and other nations. He shares his observations about current conditions in Israel, after spending several days in the country, including a visit to a Kibbutz that was invaded on October 7 by Hamas. “Some people have denied the attacks, and say they didn’t happen,” Pastor Allen said. “I can tell you they lie.” He discusses why Israel matters to God, and why it should matter to us. He also offers biblical and historical insight to show how a nation’s support of Israel brings God’s blessings and protection, while oppressing Israel and its people invites God’s judgment and wrath.
