Evening Message: The Israel of God (04/26/2026)
Preaching through 1 Chronicles 9's genealogy of the exiles who returned to rebuild Jerusalem, Jesse Johnson argues that Saul's dead-end lineage proves the promise of the Savior was never carried by physical descent but by God's choice and faith, so that the 'Israel of God' of Galatians 6:16 is the remnant; Jew and Gentile; who believe in Christ rather than every biological descendant of Jacob.
