One New Man: The Beautiful Story of Our Redemption

What does redemption mean to us as believers? This seems like a simple question. After all, the word “redemption” is a common theme in Scripture, particularly in the epistles. However, the answer has a lot of angles to it. The Apostle Paul in Ephesians 2:11-22 gave us a great perspective from which to address this question. He said Yeshua has broken down the middle wall of separation between Israel and other nations and has created…

Why is the Gospel to the Jew First?

The Great Commission is a global mission. It is clear from the Bible that God wants everyone to be saved (I Timothy 2:4, Ezekiel 33:11). John 3:16 tells us God loves the world so much that He sent His Son to die for everyone, and whoever receives this Gift and believes in God’s Son (Yeshua) will have everlasting life. However, the Apostle Paul, in his letter to the church in Rome, claimed that the Gospel…

Isaac’s Binding and Christ in the Passover

Isaac’s Binding and Christ in the Passover

The Scripture is such a wonderful book. Its stories give us a clear revelation of God’s plan of salvation. The more we understand Bible stories, the better insight we gain into the beautiful truth of the redemption God has provided us through His Son, Yeshua. In this blog, we will examine Abraham’s obedience to sacrifice Isaac at Moriah and see how the story points to the New Testament teachings of the apostles about Christ in…

Are Christian Evangelism Ministries in Israel Fruitful?

So far in our review of Christian evangelism ministries in Israel, we’ve examined the history of these ministries and their importance in the end-time harvest of souls in Israel. This is the third article in our series. In case you missed the first two articles, you can read them here and here. We traced the history of many of these evangelistic ministries, including ours, to the passion of their founders towards evangelizing the lost sheep…

How to Support Christian Evangelism Ministries in Israel

Over the last few weeks, we’ve been reviewing the activities of Christian evangelism ministries in Israel, and this is the last blog in the series. So far, we’ve discussed the history of these ministries and their importance in Israel. In the last post, we talked extensively about the awe-inspiring works God has been doing through these ministries, including ours in Israel. And like I said in conclusion the last time, I am persuaded that as…

The Importance of Christian Evangelism Ministries in Israel

In this blog, we’ll continue our four-part overview of Christian evangelism ministries in Israel. Last time, we examined the history of these ministries. We traced the history of many of these Christian evangelistic ministries, including ours, to the passion and enthusiasm of the founders toward evangelism. I used our ministry, Israel Media Ministries, as an example. Our journey into becoming a evangelistic ministry is largely tied to the God-inspired passion I had for the salvation…

The Hear O Israel Prayer and the Greatest Commandment

In the last post, we looked at the interconnection between the Hear O Israel prayer (also called the Shema), as recorded in Deuteronomy 6, and the Great Commission in Matthew 28:18. Studying these verses, we discovered that both are identical commandments instructing their respective audience to share God’s Word with others. While those in Deuteronomy were instructed to teach God’s laws to their children, the audience in Matthew 28:18 and, by extension, Christians of today…

Hear O Israel Prayer

The Hear O Israel Prayer and the Great Commission

So far in our study of the Hear O Israel prayer (otherwise called the Shema), we’ve discovered that the prayer is relevant both in the Jewish religion and the Christian faith. We saw clearly in Mark 12 that Yeshua referred to the prayer as the greatest commandment. In this blog, we’ll be exploring another exciting aspect of the Hear O Israel prayer: how it points to the Great Commission as recorded in Matthew 28:18. But…

Yeshua T Shirt and Colossians 3:12

In our last post – Yeshua t shirt and Isaiah 61:10, we examined Isaiah’s prophecy about how God would redeem and clothe us with a garment of salvation. Today, we are grateful to God for fulfilling that promise through Yeshua, His beloved Son. We also said that as believers, we should be eager to exhibit this glorious work of redemption by wearing imprinted Christian clothes like the Yeshua t shirt. However, when we compared Isaiah’s…

Yeshua T Shirt and Isaiah 61:10

Last week, while I was musing on our ongoing series on the use of Christian clothes like the Yeshua t shirt in evangelism, I remembered an experience I had with a team of preachers about three years ago. We were having a group discussion when someone asked our team leader what the greatest fantasy of his life was. He smiled and responded, “I want to preach the Gospel to the whole world at once.” As…
