The Church of God International (CGI) traces its origins to the Church that Jesus founded in the early first century. Membership in the CGI consists of "called out ones" from around the world practicing Christianity as initiated by Jesus and furthered by the early apostles. The church begun by Jesus, the very one He promised would survive through the centuries, is alive and well. Today, disciples live the faith "once delivered to the saints" in this twenty-first century (Jude 3). They obey the same message taught by Jesus Christ, and they proclaim the same gospel taken to the world by the disciples. Members value the witness and teachings of Jesus Christ as the church's work.
The CGI home office is in Tyler, Texas. Incorporated in 1978, CGI has ministers and congregations scattered throughout the United States and Canada . We also have churches in Kenya, Jamaica, the Philippines, Australia, the United Kingdom and a growing number of countries around the world.

The discussion ties this fascinating biological design to Psalm 139, emphasizing how we are “fearfully and wonderfully made.” You’ll walk away with a new appreciation for the intricate design of the body and how God’s handiwork is visible even in the smallest details.
Many think entering the presence of God is a rare or symbolic experience—but what if it's far more real and accessible than we imagine? On this episode of Truth Unveiled, George Roper explores how the Bible reveals moments where God's presence was unmistakably felt—from the garden of Eden to the life of Christ. Christ’s conversation with the Samaritan woman unlocks a powerful truth: God's presence isn't about a place, but about spirit and truth. Could the Spirit of God dwelling within you be the closest encounter with His presence?
In this episode, Blake Silverstein leads a Bible study on how our Western worldview can distort the meaning of Scripture, emphasizing the importance of understanding the original cultural context. He uses Laodicea’s “lukewarm” water and Jesus’ conversation with Peter to show how deeper cultural awareness can reshape familiar interpretations. The team explores how language, geography, and communal values all influence biblical meaning. Tune in to discover how ancient perspectives unlock deeper truth in God's Word!

At the height of the protests of Israel's actions in Gaza, I noticed an interesting sight on the streets of New York. There seemed to be what looked like Orthodox Jews holding signs against the nation of Israel in the midst of other protesters who were holding Palestinian flags. I decided to look into this, and here is what I discovered.
Yes, believe it or not, there is a very small group (possibly numbering in the low thousands) of Orthodox Jews known as Neturei Karta (Aramaic term meaning "Guardians of the City") who oppose the creation of the modern state of Israel. The basis for their opposition to the nation of Israel is their belief that the Jewish exile must continue until the Messiah comes to return the exiles to their land.
