Do you know of any people group that has been forced out their land, scattered for thousands of years, lost their language, and in a matter of a few short years (less than 200) made their way back to their land, restored their language, and became a thriving democracy that has blessed the world through advancements in technology, medicine, and …
On April 3, 1949 Israel signed a ceasefire agreement with Jordan. This agreement made an armistice line and until 1967, Jordan occupied what is now called the West Bank. However, this land is now Israels just as Gaza was before they handed it over to the Palestinains in the early 2000s. What many miss is that the land behind the …
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11 Many of us can recite Jeremiah 29:11 by memory.

Have you ever been to the ancient port town of Joppa in Israel? Several stories in the Bible mention and take place there. Today we’re going to look at two of those events. 700 years separated Jonah and the Apostle Peter. They both were called by God to proclaim His offer of repentance but as we’ll learn, they had very …

This week we take a look …
We hope you’ve been enjoying our series The Common Thread. Have you ever thought how intricately the Bible is woven together? We shouldn’t be surprised that God has connected His entire Word from Genesis to Revelation but most of us have never thought about it. What is that common thread? It’s found in Genesis 12. God called a man, Abraham, …
Did you know the Bible has a theme from end to end? It’s a continual story starting from Genesis to Revelation. Sometimes we look at it as a self-help book, picking what we want for ourselves and throwing out what we don’t need. But there is a covenantal theme that binds all the stories of the Bible together.

Israel’s military is unique. How so? For one, it is a civilian army, which means 18-year-old men and women are required to serve their country through military service right out of high school. Israel also has a slightly different focus on the way they defend themselves. Unlike the United States who has allies on their borders, Israel is constantly defending …
