Jacob Hudgins and Mark Russell are back to continue our discussion about Israel. But what do we really mean when we use the term “Israel” today? Is the nation on modern maps equivalent to the chosen people of God? Do we have an obligation as Christians to support the nation of Israel? And is Israel still God’s chosen people? As always, we’re going to try to stay away from taking specific political positions here. But whether you’re a Democrat, a Republican, or a None of the Above, I think you’ll find some valuable insights here.

Jacob Hudgins is the author of "The School of Christ" and various other books. Check out the work of the Twin City church on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/c/twincitychurchofchrist
