Evangelism and the End of the World, Part 7a
December 7, 2011
From start to finish, the Bible presents the story of our salvation in Jesus Christ. Sometimes, in order to properly understand the middle of the book, we have to study the end! That's what we're doing today on Focal Point. Mike Fabarez continues a study in Romans 11, and gives us a little bit of context for God's relationship with Israel.

Romans 11:23-36
