Shavuot
Understanding the Power of Pentecost

The Biblical feast of Shavuot is known as the Day of Pentecost, the Festival of Harvest (First-fruits), and The Festival of Weeks. This important feast commemorates 7 weeks or 50 days exactly from Passover, which is why it is called Pentecost (“Fiftieth day” in Greek), and it is to celebrate the first-fruits of the harvest.

After Yeshua rose from the dead, He told His disciples to wait for what God was about to do. So it was no coincidence that He waited until the 50th day and poured out His Holy Spirit on the believers in Jerusalem on the Day of the Harvest (“Shavuot” – Pentecost)

Many times Yeshua spoke and emphasized the topic of the Harvest, saying the fields are white and ready for Harvest. He told us to pray to the Lord of the Harvest to send out workers into the fields.

The outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost in Jerusalem was the beginning of the spiritual Harvest God was beginning to collect among his first-fruits (first disciples).

Be blessed by Pastor Israel’s first part in a special 5-part teaching series on the Power of Pentecost (Shavuot).

A Lighthouse in Turbulent Times

When God first spoke to us about organizing a special evangelism campaign in Jerusalem for Shavuot (Pentecost), He told us of very specific cities He wanted us to gather people from. It didn’t make much sense, until the escalation with Gaza and those cities were the ones to receive most of the rocket fire. God […]

Imagine spending almost a week in bomb shelters, with your neighbors, while families with children, babies, elderly; hearing sirens every 10 minutes, as well as explosions of rockets, not being able to go to work, school, kindergarten or have any sense of normalcy.

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.

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 […]

“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 […]

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 […]
