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.

Numbers appear throughout Scripture, but do they carry deeper symbolic meaning? In this episode of Truth Unveiled, we explore how the Bible itself uses numbers such as two, three, seven, and seventy to reinforce themes like witness, completion, and God’s plan for all nations. This study clearly distinguishes biblical number symbolism from numerology, showing how Scripture interprets itself without relying on mystical speculation. Discover how understanding these patterns can deepen your appreciation for the intentional design and consistency of God’s Word.
What did Jesus mean when He said the only sign He would give was the “sign of Jonah”—three days and three nights in the grave?

As the scriptures are compared step by step, questions emerge about how tradition and biblical timing align. You may be surprised at what the Bible actually says—and inspired to look deeper for yourself.
In this episode of The Rooted Word, Blake leads a Bible study from 2 Corinthians 12:7–10, exploring Paul’s “thorn in the flesh” and God’s promise that His grace is sufficient. The hosts discuss how weakness does not disqualify believers but instead becomes the place where Christ’s power is most clearly revealed. Through scripture and personal reflection, they show how trials can develop humility, perseverance, and deeper reliance on God. This study encourages believers to remain rooted in God’s Word and find strength, peace, and purpose even in their struggles.

One of the most popular scriptures supporting the idea that God cares about Gentiles as much as He cares about Israel is John 3:16. This scripture basically says that God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him will have eternal life. When you put this together with all the scriptures we find in the New Testament, it seems very clear that God is not playing favorites.
But believe it or not, there are some people who believe in the Bible, and they take a different view about John 3:16. Groups like the Black Hebrew Israelites (BHI) and Calvinists.
