Why Stand for Israel? | Travis Johnson

Standing with Israel: A Call to Support and Reflect

In this sermon, Pastor Travis shares experiences from a recent five-day diplomatic trip to Israel amidst the volatile context of Hamas terrorist attacks on October 7th. The address highlights meetings with hostage families, including the parents of Shani Louk, a young woman whose tragic death has become emblematic of the violence.

Emphasizing the historical and spiritual significance of Israel, this message underscores the importance of supporting Israel from a biblical perspective. He navigates through the intersection of faith, politics, and morality, invoking historical figures like Dietrich Bonhoeffer and William Wilberforce, while drawing parallels to contemporary challenges. Additionally, the shared trauma of October 7th and the subsequent geo-political conflicts is presented as a call to pray for peace and solidarity with Israel.
