ISRAEL’S PROBLEM IS OUR PROBLEM

MALACHI 3

Pastor Rick Jackson

So many folk want to get rid of Israel and replace it with the Church but God doesn’t. 1 Corinthians 10:32 Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God: The strange thing is we have the same problem that Israel had and has today. It is the Sin problem.
