Who was the Apostle Paul?
Today we’re meeting a man most of us would think of as a trailblazer, a church planter, and the author of some of the most well-read books in the Bible. However, Paul would be the first to say that he wasn’t the starting point of anything. He was a follower of Yeshua and a link in the chain of something that would change our world forever… In the final moments before his…
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: 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…
Faces of the Kingdom: Mary
Sometimes salvation comes from the most unimaginable places…A young Jewish woman from a small town in the Galilee who had a quiet life ahead of her — or so she thought, but then one conversation changed everything about how her future would progress… Mary’s story is a very clear reminder to every believer that we might one day come face-to-face with a future that we…
Faces of the Kingdom: Isaiah
What if the most compelling evidence for Yeshua being the foreseen Messiah wasn’t written in the New Testament, but rather in the Old Testament, long before He was born?… In today’s discussion we will meet Isaiah, a Hebrew prophet writing in Jerusalem during one of the darkest seasons in Israel’s history. His words would eventually become one of the most…
Faces of the Kingdom: Daniel
What would you do if faithfulness to God became illegal? There was an old man, who had no army, no political protection, and no way out… and he was facing a law specifically designed to destroy him. But how did he respond to this dire situation? In a truly ordinary but at the same time, quite remarkable, way… Who was Daniel? In Hebrew, Daniyel (דָנִיֵּאל) means “God is my…
Faces of the Kingdom: Gideon
Welcome back to our “Faces of the Kingdom” series! Today, we’re getting to know a man that you might not already know that well—a man who was hiding in a winepress when God called him a mighty warrior and brought before him a very important mission… Picture this: a man is crouched in a hole in the ground, secretly beating wheat so that his enemies won’t…
Faces of the Kingdom: Miriam
Welcome back to our “Faces of the Kingdom” series! We’re meeting another young woman who played a very influential role in the Bible…and this time, it’s one who had no title, no army, and no miracle at her disposal, yet was the human instrument God used to set the entire Exodus in motion. Her story reveals that God doesn’t require a platform, a plan, or a position as…
