When Jesus’ blood was shed on the cross, the New Covenant was established in front of the Israelites’ eyes after hundreds of years of waiting. This covenant changed their relationship with God, and it gave a special privilege to everyone who trusted in Jesus for the forgiveness of sins. This week we enjoy the happy truths of the New Covenant for believers and for all of Israel. We’ll conclude our program with Apples of Gold, a dramatic reading from the life of Holocaust survivor Zvi Kalisher.

Surrender! That was the prophet Jeremiah’s message to the people of Judah. Their disobedience to God and the Law meant God would use Babylon to judge them. But in one of their darkest moments, God made a new promise to His people—a promise to write His law on their hearts and return them to their land. Enjoy part one of our series analyzing this New Covenant that changed the way God deals with humanity forever. Our program ends with an encouraging Apples of Gold story, a dramatic reading from the life of Holocaust survivor Zvi Kalisher.

Israel’s enemies are relentless. The Jewish people have always faced threats of extinction from powerful nations. Living with the fear of destruction has essentially become part of their nature. Many Jewish people feel alone, as if they have no friends to turn to for help. But they’re never alone—God is their protector! This week Chris speaks with Bruce Scott to talk about Bruce’s Israel My Glory magazine article “Relentless.”

Many of Jesus’ most well-known moments on Earth took place among large crowds. But the Gospels also record times when Jesus had personal conversations with individuals—moments that would change their lives forever.

We’ll conclude our program with Apples of Gold, a dramatic reading from the life of Holocaust survivor Zvi Kalisher.
