  • Why is the world so offended by Israel, especially since Hamas' brutal attack against the Jewish homeland on October 7, 2023? What should be the Church's biblical stance on this issue? Nic Lesmeister (Executive Pastor, Church & Jewish Relations; Executive Director, Gateway Center for Israel) lays some crucial theological groundwork to answer this question. By discussing "the scandal of particularity" as it relates to God's sovereign choice of Israel, he stresses the importance of Christians loving and blessing what God Himself loves and blesses in this first session of the Israel Masterclass.

    THANK YOU, Gateway, for addressing this most significant topic, for Israel and for the Church international. When is Session 2 going to be presented?

    Surely God actually " created" Israel for His plans and purposes to reveal Himself to the world rather than just " chose " a people . Abraham was not a Jew but a Chaldean and Issac was a miracle child of promise .
