With what is currently going on in Israel and Gaza, someone recently asked why people hate the Jews so much.  In this broadcast, we look at reasons for Jewish hatred from biblical, cultural, economic, and geo-political vantage points. 

How should we approach communion?  What makes it so special?  What are the prevalent views about communion?

Does the way we come together reflect Christ, or are we individualistic, seeking our glory rather than God's glory? Is there respect and consideration given for others?  We are called to lift and exalt Christ, not self, so why all the church divisions, even over petty issues?

In the previous episode we considered the warning of Israel's failures.  We were warned not to do the same things they did.  God promises to help us overcome, and so, we should seek to live for the Glory of God in all we do.

1 Corinthians 10 sets an example of things we ought not to do.  We should find ourselves duly warned to not follow the example set by the nation of Israel through the Old Testament.

World events happening in the Middle East ARE not separated from Religion, but are intricately interwoven with them.  We need to sit up and take note. These things could mark the very soon rapture of believers in Jesus from this world.  We need to watch and be ready.

We may have the liberty to do any number of things not expressly forbidden in Scripture, but practicing those liberties can be harmful if we aren't conscientious of how those freedoms may impact others.
