Happy Passover

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link=”https://vimeo.com/406731955/550f99ed3d”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]On this first day of Passover, Pastor Israel Pochtar shares from his home about what Passover means the people of Israel.  The first day is a day of celebration, day of prayer.

In Exodus 12 the blood of the sacrificial lamb was used as a sign of protection against death and a sign of covenant.  Isaiah builds on that in chapter 53 and refers to the Messiah as the sacrificial lamb of God.

When John the Baptist is at the Jordan and sees Yeshua coming he spoke the proclamation “Behold, the Lamb of the God, who will take away the sin of the world”. In the first book of Peter, chapter 1, “knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, but with the blood of the Lamb”. Yeshua gave His life for us!

In the book of Revelation 5 : 9-10 John sees the multitudes worship and proclaim that the Lamb, who was slain, is worthy to open the scrolls. And He has redeemed them with His blood and has made them Kings and Priests to our God.

We as Messianic believers celebrate His Life and celebrate Him as our Passover Lamb in addition to the traditional Jewish Passover celebration![/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Yet those who faithfully shepherd others also need moments to step away from their daily responsibilities, share their hearts, and receive encouragement themselves. Recently, Pastor Israel traveled to […]

The Good News Project

Nearly two thousand years ago, the Good News of Yeshua began spreading from Jerusalem to the nations.

Where He Walked, They Prayed:
200 Israelis Encounter the Gospel at Magdala

There are places in Israel where the stories of the Bible suddenly feel very close. Magdala, on the shores of the Sea of Galilee, is one of them. Recently, we brought 200 Israelis to this ancient town, where Yeshua (Jesus) ministered in the surrounding region nearly 2,000 years ago. We wanted them to discover more […]

The Stones Are Ancient:
The Gospel Still Changes Lives

Some places carry a history that time cannot erase. Along the shores of the Sea of Galilee, ancient stones still bear witness to the world Yeshua walked through—the villages where He taught, the people He encountered, and the lives that were forever changed by meeting Him.  As we prepare to welcome 200 Israelis to the […]

Hebrew Word of the Week:
B’yadcha (בְּיָדְךָ) —
Into Your Hand

Some things are simply beyond our control. We can pray, make wise decisions, do everything we know to do, and still reach a point where the outcome is no longer in our hands. This can be one of the hardest places for us, because we naturally want to know what is going to happen and […]
