“Abba, Avinu” — Calling God YOUR Father 

And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!

Galatians 4:6

In Hebrew, the scriptures end with “Abba, Avinu”, meaning: Father, our Father. What a wonderful message. God sent us His Spirit that entered our hearts, making us sons and daughters, thus enabling us to cry out boldly “Father! Our Father!” for the whole world to hear that Abba is Our Father (“Avinu”).

My sons call me “abba”, that’s “dad” in Hebrew, and when I pray and call out to God, I also call him “Abba”, or “Avinu”, because that is who He is to us: our Father.

When you pray this weekend, or this Shabbat, try calling God “Abba” or “Avinu”, as it is written in the Bible. May you be filled with His Holy Spirit, reminding you that you are his son/daughter, a child of God who received the spirit of adoption, so you can boldly cry out to our heavenly Father calling Him YOUR Father — Abba.

Praying for you from Biblical Jaffa:
God still has the final Word

Shalom from Jaffa—biblical Joppa, one of the ancient cities of Israel and a place where remarkable events recorded in Scripture unfolded. As I stand here today, I am praying for you. I may not know exactly what you are facing as you read these words, what situation you have been bringing before the Lord, or what has […]

The beginning they didn’t expect
Finding new life in Israel

Anna had only recently made Aliyah with her three children. As a single mother, she was beginning again in Israel with a 20-year-old son and two daughters, sixteen and five—new surroundings, a new rhythm of life, and so much still uncertain. Then, during one of our recent times together with new Olim, our team began […]

Six lives changed in Biblical Jaffa

How will they hear?
Bringing the gospel within reach

There are Israelis who have lived their entire lives in the land of the Bible and have never once heard the Gospel clearly explained to them. They know the names of Abraham, Moses, David, and the prophets. They walk the same land where Yeshua lived and ministered. Many know His name—but know Him only as the […]
