We believe the church of Jesus Christ needs to present the gospel to Jewish folks that they maybe saved. Like the early church did. And we reject false conspiracy theories against Jewish folks spread by white supremacists and Muslims.

Message from Hilltop Bible Church in Bergton Virginia on looking to Jesus from Hebrews 12:1,2.https://youtu.be/NkN-oQbKnUE?si=kEGbFJ8YxHt58WVH Message from Hilltop Bible Church in Bergton Virginia on looking to Jesus from Hebrews 12:1,2. - I read the following scriptures earlier this week. Got news this morning that a young woman who is Facebook friends with me just lost her mother to cancer. It was clear to me that l needed to share these scriptures with her. Hope you are encouraged as well.
”But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words.“
