The Garden tomb — An Oasis of Peace

[vc_row el_id=”newsletter”][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]

The Garden Tomb is a lot of special things, but to me, it is an oasis of solitude and peace; an island of silence in the midst of Jerusalem’s urban noise.

Whenever I visit the Garden Tomb, with the hustle and bustle of daily activities, shops, businesses, and traffic just outside Garden Tomb, I’m always amazed how stepping into the garden, you almost step into a different realm, a quiet place that is disconnected from the world outside, where time almost stands still, place of encounter with God.

The remarkable thing is to see how it was even possible to create a place of peace that is surrounded by the noise of a busy fast-paced world outside. A place where people come to pray, meditate and encounter God in a profound way.

I pray that in the midst of your busy, noisy, and fast-paced life, God will bring you into an oasis of peace.

One of God’s many names is Elohei ha-Shalom — God of Peace (wholeness). That is the very peace that the Bible says will guard our hearts (Philippians 4:7).

Even if you’re surrounded by the outward noise of daily life that threatens to drown out your inner peace, may you encounter that one special oasis where time stands still while you meet God.

May the God of Shalom guard your hearts and keep your life, and may you enjoy His peace even in the midst of life’s storms.

When the Shofar Sounds:
Remember the God Who Still Speaks

As we prepare here in Israel to celebrate the Feast of Trumpets, I have been thinking about a sound that has echoed through the story of our people for thousands of years: the sound of the shofar. In Hebrew, this biblical feast is called Yom Teruah—the Day of the Shofar Blast, or the Day of Trumpet […]

Hebrew Word of the Week:
HaKol Efshar (הַכֹּל אֶפְשָׁר) —
All Things Are Possible

Sometimes we face situations where we simply do not see a way forward. We have prayed, we have waited, and maybe we have done everything we know to do, but nothing seems to change. After some time, we can begin to think, “Maybe this is impossible.” The Bible is full of people who found themselves […]

A Call to Draw Near:
Strengthening a New Generation of Believers in Israel

“Jesus went up on a mountainside and called to Him those He wanted, and they came to Him.” Mark 3:13 There are seasons when the voice of God can become difficult to hear beneath the noise of everyday life. Responsibilities, decisions, relationships, work, questions about the future—especially for young adults, life can pull the heart […]

When a Heart Begins to Open

Sometimes the most important thing happening in a room is something no one can see. A woman may sit quietly, listen without saying much, and give little indication that anything has changed. Yet a seed has been planted. The Word of God has reached somewhere beneath the surface. And sometimes it is only later that […]

He Saw Them —
Rosh HaShanah and Sukkot Evangelism Campaign

“But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd.” Matthew 9:36 When Yeshua looked at a multitude, He never saw a number. He saw faces. He saw stories. He saw lives unfolding before Him—people carrying pain, questions, disappointments, fears, and […]

When God Leads You Somewhere New —
A Message from Joppa, Israel

There are seasons when life feels settled. Perhaps you have prayed for something, watched God answer, and finally reached a place where you can breathe again. There is nothing wrong with being grateful for that place. But today, standing in Joppa—the biblical city known today as Jaffa, on Israel’s Mediterranean coast—I am reminded of something powerful: sometimes […]
