September 19, 2026 | #2638 - Not So Fast! Does the Church Really Replace Israel? (Part 4 of 4) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Because the apostle Paul wrote, “There is neither Jew nor Greek” in Galatians 3:28, many people claim that Scripture ultimately renders Jewish identity obsolete today. But how can this be true when Paul immediately makes the same claim about men and women, whose distinct identities clearly still exist? The Bible is clear: Israel is not replaced. Instead, whether Jewish or Gentile, all are reconciled to Christ at the cross. What a great truth for us to remember when we consider God’s special purp

Read excerpt
In Romans 9:6, the apostle Paul used the phrase, “For they are not all Israel who are of Israel.” Was Paul redefining Israel to encompass all believers in Jesus as constituting “spiritual Israel”? Chris sets the record straight this week in part 3 of our series on passages misused to replace Israel with the church. He clearly shows how Paul identified a believing remnant of Israel as God’s conduit through which He carries forward His promised purposes, including the salvation of Gentiles. Like P

Read excerpt
When the apostle Paul defined “a Jew who is one inwardly,” did he mean that Christians—who are reconciled to God—are the true identity of Israel and the recipient of the nation’s covenant promises? Many believe so, but they are mistaken. Romans 2:28–29 is one of several passages that have been misinterpreted to teach that the church is the new Israel. Discover how the Romans 2 passage reveals God’s desire for the Jewish people to devote their hearts truly to Him rather than merely to keep a clea

Read excerpt
Because the apostle Paul used the phrase the Israel of God in Galatians 6, many Christians have concluded that they have taken on the identity and covenant promises of Israel, erasing the Jewish people’s unique standing with God. But context is king. When verses are stripped of their context, the true meaning of God’s Word becomes lost. Reading Galatians 6 in context reveals beautiful truths about the unity of Gentile and Jewish believers in Jesus—and the distinct ethnic and national identity Is
August 22, 2026 | #2634 - The Cities of Refuge (Part 2 of 2) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As we conclude our short series on the biblical cities of refuge, we learn what happened after a person arrived in such a city. An accidental manslayer’s protection from vengeance was contingent upon staying in the city. Returning home was permitted only upon the death of the high priest. Through the death of Jesus, our High Priest, we, too, find freedom and payment for our sin debt. In the days of Moses, long before Jesus came, we find this beautiful picture of God’s grace, played out in the li
