Strength to Strength welcomed Ryan Grove to discuss the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
The current conflict in Israel and Gaza gets large amounts of attention by many people who have very different viewpoints. We recognize and mourn the ongoing and recent human suffering by the inhabitants of these lands that are full of history and religious significance. We will look at some history and the viewpoints of different sides of the conflict. Most importantly, how can we as followers of Jesus communicate the message that Jesus’ kingdom is good for all.
An interactive question-and-answer period follows.
