3 Reasons to Fight Antis*mitism | Bishop Robert Stearns

About this sermon

Today, I want to share with you my motivation for supporting Israel and the Jewish people. It all stems from three core reasons: gratitude, repentance, and concern for the future. I grew up in a religious environment where Israel was seen merely as a marker in an eschatological timeline, but living in Israel in my twenties changed everything for me. It was through personal relationships with the Jewish people that I came to understand them not as an abstract idea but as real individuals with a rich history and profound contributions to faith. This personal connection deepened my understanding and respect for their endurance and commitment to God’s covenant. If we care about the future of humanity, we must stand together against the threats of antisemitism and work for peace, especially by supporting the stability and freedom found in Israel. Really, this is about more than just Israel; it's about the world we want to leave for our children. 00:00 Introduction 00:28 What is my Motivation? 02:17 1.
