Hear O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one! (Deuteronomy 6:4) In the last article, we looked at Paul's letter to the church in Rome, focusing on Romans 10, where he explained why believers should be committed to evangelism. Our key verse was verse 17, which says, "So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God." In this article, we will examine another statement made by Moses in Deuteronomy 6:4. But before that, let's briefly recap what we learned last time. In our study, ...

David is known to be many things in the Old Testament – a shepherd boy, warrior, and king. Like the rest of us, he had his weaknesses and failed God many times.

Over the past few months, we've been considering the use of 21st Century tools in evangelism.

And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come out of Zion, And He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob.” (Romans 11:26) In case you’re feeling discouraged about evangelizing the unsaved in Israel, let Paul's words ...

The Gospel is for everyone. Yeshua's commandment about the Great Commission was clear: "Go into ALL THE WORLD” (Mark 16:15), "Go therefore and make disciples of ALL NATIONS” (Matthew 28:19). The epistles of the Apostles affirmed the same truth (I Timothy 2:4; II Peter 3:9). But talking about preaching the Gospel in Romans 1:16, Paul said, "To the Jews first and then to the Gentiles."
