I was thinking about our ongoing series on the use of Israel music videos in evangelism when Romans 11:26 popped up in my mind. Immediately, I flipped my Bible open to that verse, and it was really inspiring to see again that God is committed to Israel’s salvation. 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…
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.” That brings a couple of questions to mind. First, what…
In our previous post, we looked at King David’s Psalms – the inspiration behind them and how they point to redemption. From Psalm 16, we saw how King David prophesied about the Messiah’s resurrection and, glory to God, Yeshua fulfilled every detail of that prophecy! In this second part of our series on the use of Israel music videos in evangelism, we’ll be learning from Psalm 32 – another Spirit-inspired song by King David. This…
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. But an undeniable fact is that his life is one of Scripture’s most profound examples of what it is like to pursue God and live a life of faith (II Samuel 7:18-29, I Chronicles 14:10). He exemplified humility and reverence for God. What…
Yeshua, before His ascension, left His disciples the mandate to preach the Gospel to everyone (Mark 16:15; Matthew 28:18). From Luke’s account of the early church’s events in Acts, we see how they went from place to place, fulfilling that commission. The first four chapters of Acts recounts how the disciples’ outreach in Jerusalem alone had produced up to 8,000 converts (Acts 2:41; Acts 4:4). Praise God for such a great harvest of souls! Personally,…
Every believer has been called to preach the Gospel (Mark 16:15; Matthew 28:19-20). God recruited us into His workforce the day we accepted Yeshua as our Savior (II Corinthians 5:17-20). However, with the unwelcoming attitude of many Israelis in regards to faith in Yeshua, we need to trust God for creative ideas to reach them. I mean spirit-inspired strategies of sharing the unadulterated truth of the Word. As one of the creative media ministries focused…
Over the years, quite a lot has been said about the need for every believer to take part in evangelism. Yeshua saved us from the sting of sin and death and left us the mandate to share that good news with others. Praise God, believers in Israel are becoming more concerned about this divine commission. It gladdens my heart seeing fellow Israelis and great commission media ministries become more intent about putting out the Word…
We are living in the end times, and the devil is doing all he can to oppose the spreading of the gospel globally. Peter describes him as an adversary who goes about looking for whom to devour (I Peter 5:8). But thanks to Yeshua who defeated him for us, His substitutionary work completely stripped the devil of power (Colossians 2:15; 1:13)! In view of recent opposition to the Gospel in Israel, I strongly believe this…
Every generation has a group of people who devote themselves fully to the Lord’s service. In the early church, Paul was one of those people. He founded over a dozen churches and has been credited with writing thirteen books of the New Testament. His letters are masterpieces that address virtually every subject of the Christian faith. Even Peter acknowledged that he had an uncommon understanding of the Scriptures (II Peter 3:15-15). I’m persuaded that Paul…
After Yeshua saved my soul, one of the greatest revelations about God that I discovered from the Scripture is His unfailing show of mercy to His people. For the LORD is good; His mercy is everlasting, And His truth endures to all generations. (Psalms 100:5) Anytime I read Genesis 3, I find it a great wonder that after the disobedience in the garden, God immediately began to activate His plan for man’s redemption. And I…
