“There is no panic in heaven, only plans.” This Corrie ten Boom quote sets a tone for where our focus should be as believers. But many times we tend to worry about things around us.

This week, Chris shows us examples in Scripture of how we should and should not respond to hardships in our lives.

Hamas’s brutal attack on Israel and the ensuing war interrupted our series on Paul’s letter to the Romans in October.

We’ll see God’s goodness displayed through the gifts He gave Israel, which allow even Gentiles to enjoy the incomparable blessings of God’s Word and saving grace through Jesus the Messiah.

Have you ever wanted God to show you His glory? Moses did. The Israelites’ sin with the golden calf caused Moses to ask the Lord for this privilege, and God’s epic response on Mount Sinai offers us an unforgettable look at His character. Chris teaches about the Israelites’ spiritual failure and God’s glory in part 1 of our series on monumental moments from Moses’ life. Take a close look at the Lord’s loving and just nature on this week’s show!

God’s glory is awesome and overwhelming—and yet God is willing to reveal His perfect character to us! In part 2 of our series studying the moment when God showed Moses His glory, we look at three more biblical figures who, in very different circumstances, understood the Lord’s glorious character: David, Jeremiah, and Jonah. They knew and recorded in Scripture that He is merciful, gracious, patient, loving, faithful, just, and forgiving. Our glorious God is worthy of all our worship!

Why do many churches sit on the fence concerning Zionism—the Jewish people’s right to their own state in their ancestral homeland? The Friends of Israel President Jim Showers provides the answer in the latest issue of Israel My Glory magazine. He discusses the dangers of Replacement Theology and ignorance concerning Israel, the cause of younger Christians’ lack of support for the Jewish nation, and the biblical mandate (rather than a political motivation) that drives our passion for Zionism. Tune in to learn why your support for the nation and the Jewish people matters so greatly both inside and outside the church!
