Summary
Israel is at war, and its people need our prayers. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the recent attacks on Israel and Jerusalem. He offers insight on the war, our nation's role, our responsibility to Israel and the Jewish people, and how antisemitism and the persecution of Christians are fueled by the same spirit: the spirit of antichrist. We're living in tumultuous and deceptive times, and we need the power of the Holy Spirit to help us and guide us as we move forward. Pastor Allen offers practical examples of what this looks like by examining the lives of Abraham, Esther, and Joseph.
