Does God intend humanity to remain divided by nationality, ethnicity, and background—or is He working toward something greater? Beginning with Israel’s unique calling and following the biblical story through Jesus Christ, this program examines God’s purpose for both Israel and the Gentiles. Scripture reveals a plan in which those who come to God through Christ become one people, sharing the promises given through Abraham. Discover how God’s ultimate purpose points beyond division toward unity in His divine family!
Can we really trust the New Testament? Mike James and Jeff Reed examine biblical, historical, archaeological, and eyewitness evidence supporting its reliability. They explore ancient sources outside Christianity, the testimony of the apostles, and fascinating details across the Gospels that fit together like independent eyewitness accounts. The cumulative evidence presents a compelling case that the New Testament is historically trustworthy.
Has Noah’s Ark actually been found? AJ Sanchez returns to Prove All Things to examine the Durupinar formation in eastern Turkey and the historical, archaeological, and geological evidence that has been associated with the site. The discussion explores ancient references to the Ark, massive anchor stones, ground-penetrating radar, local traditions, and evidence AJ believes points toward an advanced civilization before the Flood. More importantly, the story of Noah provides a sobering biblical warning about judgment, righteousness, and the danger of a civilization that believes it no longer needs God.

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 CGI shares many foundational beliefs with other Sabbath-keeping Churches of God, while holding several important doctrinal and organizational distinctions. These include our understanding of the timing of the Passover and Exodus, our rejection of the church-era theory, date-setting, and “headline theology,” and our commitment to accountable servant leadership rather than authoritarian, top-down government.

One of the strongest reasons I believe the Gospel accounts are reliable is something we often take for granted: they read like real eyewitness testimony.
After His resurrection, Jesus told His disciples: “Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day, and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. And you are witnesses of these things” (Luke 24:46–48).
Peter would later write: “For we did not follow cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of His majesty” (2 Peter 1:16).
