Pastor Jim Scudder, Jr. is senior pastor of Quentin Road Baptist Church in Lake Zurich, Illinois. He is an author and also is the speaker on the program In Grace which airs on WVCY Television and VCY.tv and on the VCY America Radio Network and on other facilities across the country. Pastor Scudder has a passion for souls and a desire to teach others about our Savior's love. He also has a special love for the nation of Israel and the Jewish people. Much attention continues to be focused on Israel, especially given their war with Hamas and the end-times ramifications that involve this area of the world. This means there is much news to report and questions to be answered. Pastor Scudder presented an update, allowing listeners to get the latest information so they can view what's taking place there from a Christian perspective. Some of the questions that were answered included: What phase is the hostage process in and how many more living hostages need to be released? Who will rule in Gaza after the war? Was Trump being literal or inspirational with his comments concerning a U.S. takeover of Gaza? How is Israel reacting to the Trump presidency? What's happening along the Lebanon border? Could the next attack on Israel come from Judea & Samaria (the West Bank)? Listeners wrapped up the broadcast with their questions and comments as well.
