Standing with Israel: First-Hand Testimony from Kibbutz Survivors After October 7th Massacre

About this sermon

In this deeply personal episode, I share my recent journey to Nahal Oz, a kibbutz that faced unspeakable horrors during the October 7th massacre. Standing on the very ground where lives were lost, I speak with residents who survived the brutality of the attack, including my friend Oshrit Sabag. We discuss the pain, resilience, and continued struggle of this close-knit community, who lost friends and loved ones, with some still held hostage by Hamas. As Christians from various countries, we came to show solidarity, to let our Jewish brothers and sisters know that they are not alone. I am honored to stand alongside 33 pastors from around the world, all of us united in support and prayer. Together, we call upon the global church to wake up and speak out. This is a defining moment – a battle of good versus evil – and now is the time to take a stand. Join us as we walk through the stories of survivors, remember those who are still held captive, and witness the courage of those who choose to stay in this beautiful but devastated community. This episode is a call to action, a plea to the global church to rise, speak, and advocate for justice and peace.
