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.

Faces of the Kingdom: Mark
Somewhere outside those stone walls of a cell, Rome moves on with its business, unaware that inside that prison, an old man is dictating what may be the last letter he will ever write. Paul knows that his time is short. He has fought the fight, kept the faith, and in his final lines he asks for one person by name… The man that Paul requests by name comes as a shock to…
Faces of the Kingdom: Solomon
If God appeared to you tonight and asked, “What should I give you?”…What would you ask for?

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: Sarah
Has there ever been a time where you can not imagine that you will get the one thing that you so desperately long for…even if God has promised it to you? Something that seems to be so unattainable that you laugh, maybe not even on purpose or out loud, at the idea of it actually happening… Sarah’s story is one of the most human moments in all of Scripture — the story…
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: Moses
Today we’ll meet a man who was completely unqualified by every human standard, and yet became the instrument through which God delivered Bnei-Yisrael from their slavery in Egypt. He was a stuttering fugitive, a wanted man, a shepherd hiding at the edge of the wilderness; and yet he was the one that God chose to confront the most powerful empire on earth… Moses…
