Faces of the Kingdom: Rahab
Rahab was a Canaanite, an outsider, a woman with a reputation in a city marked for destruction, and somehow she became the great-great-grandmother of King David, an ancestor of Messiah Yeshua Himself. She is remembered for her courage and her faith, but the story that shaped her legacy wasn’t a battle or a miracle like other Biblical characters that we hear about… Let’s…
Faces of the Kingdom: David
Few names in Scripture carry as much weight as David’s — the shepherd boy turned giant-slayer, a fugitive turned king, and the ancestor through whom Messiah Himself would come. He’s one of the most well-known figures in the Bible, remembered for his courage, his worship, and his covenant with God. However, the story that arguably shaped his legacy most…
Faces of the Kingdom: Jeremiah
Today we meet a prophet who was broken, rejected, and battered by the very people he was sent to serve, and yet he never stopped speaking. He was a man whose life reads less like a triumphant hero’s journey and more like a preview of the suffering Messiah who would come centuries after him…What does it look like to be chosen for something costly before you ever had…
Faces of the Kingdom: Deborah
What does it look like to hold real power, and yet deny all the credit and give it to the One who truly deserves it all?… Deborah was a prophetess, a judge, and the military voice of an entire nation, and yet, in the very moment she’s handed the plan for victory, the first thing out of her mouth is a warning that none of the glory will belong to the man…
Faces of the Kingdom: Isaac
A famine has settled over the land, the kind that would send most men running for the safety of Egypt, but Isaac chooses to stay. Adonai tells him not to go down to Egypt, but to remain in the land, and so he does… Have you ever heard a promise from God that felt impossible, and had no idea how long you’d be waiting, or what you were even supposed to do while you…
How to Start the New Year Seeking God
As we approach the New Year, our world bombards us with messages about fresh starts, new beginnings, and self-improvement. Everywhere we turn, someone is talking about resolutions, goal-setting, and making this year “the best year yet.” The pressure to have it all figured out, to craft the perfect vision board, and to finally become the person we’ve…
G-d’s Plan
In Parashat Vayishlach, we learned that Jacob wrestled with G-d and humans. He was driven by a strong desire for G-d’s blessing, and Adonai changed Jacob’s name to Israel. His character grew stronger as he trusted G-d, and his perseverance helped fulfill G-d’s plans. This story encourages us to hold on to G-d during times of difficulty, as He gave us the greatest…
What is Hanukkah?
Daylight Savings time has ended, our clocks have fallen back an hour, and the sun is setting earlier. The winter nights seem longer and darker, but with these changes something exciting comes…candles will begin to glow in windows, one more each night for eight nights. These flames aren’t just decorative; they’re a living testimony to God’s faithfulness,…
Thanksgiving Throughout Scripture
As we approach the Thanksgiving season, our country overflows with reminders to be grateful, from dinner table traditions to social media posts to making lists of what we’re thankful for in our journals. However, here’s something that many people don’t realize, Thanksgiving isn’t just an American holiday. It’s a Biblical command woven…
What is the Importance of Community?
We live in a world more “connected” than ever before, yet loneliness has reached such high levels in recent times. People can be surrounded by crowds, bombarded by social media notifications, and still feel profoundly isolated; but this isn’t how it was meant to be…From the very beginning, God’s design has been different. He created us for…
