We've reached the final leg of our big globetrotting adventure. The fam is going to Israel. I think Lego Hair assumed that there was going to be a heavenly choir lightly singing the whole time. Rays of sunlight shooting out from behind big, puffy white clouds, and the Jordan River being full of crystal clear water.We watched the fam get to ride camels while Lego Hair was uncomfortable. A couple of the girls getting chatted up at the Dead Sea. Jim Bob tries to haggle at the Old City Market while not remotely understanding the exchange rate. Like what you hear?

John 5:1-9 NIV  1 Some time later, Jesus went up to Jerusalem for one of the Jewish festivals. 2 Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool, which in Aramaic is called Bethesda and which is surrounded by five covered colonnades. 3 Here a great number of disabled people used to lie—the blind, the lame, the paralyzed. 5 One who was there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time, he asked him, “Do you want to get well?”7 “Sir,” the invalid replied, “I have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred. While I am trying to get in, someone else goes down ahead of me.”8 Then Jesus said to him, “Get up! Pick up your mat and walk.” 9 At once the man was cured; he picked up his mat and walked.The day on which this took place was a Sabbath,Ezekiel 47:1-9 NIV  1 The man brought me back to the entrance to the temple, and I saw water coming out from under the threshold of the temple toward the east (for the temple faced east). The water was coming down from under the south side of the temple, south of the altar. 2 He then brought me out through the north gate and led me around the outside to the outer gate facing east, and the water was trickling from the south side. 3 As the man went eastward with a measuring line in his hand, he measured off a thousand cubits and then led me through water that was ankle-deep. 4 He measured off another thousand cubits and led me through water that was knee-deep. He measured off another thousand and led me through water that was up to the waist. 5 He measured off another thousand, but now it was a river that I could not cross, because the water had risen and was deep enough to swim in—a river that no one could cross. 6 He asked me, “Son of man, do you see this?” Then he led me back to the bank of the river. 7 When I arrived there, I saw a great number of trees on each side of the river. 8 He said to me, “This water flows toward the eastern region and goes down into the Arabah, where it enters the Dead Sea. When it empties into the sea, the salty water there becomes fresh. 9 Swarms of living creatures will live wherever the river flows. There will be large numbers of fish, because this water flows there and makes the salt water fresh; so where the river flows everything will live.

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION“Waiting is not a waste.”~Mark Vroegop (author Dark Clouds, Deep Mercies, pastor, president of TGC)“In the waiting, in the searchingIn the healing, in the hurtingLike a blessing buried in the broken piecesEvery minute, every momentWhere I've been or where I'm goingEven when I didn't know itOr couldn't see itThere was Jesus.”~Zach Williams (Southern Rock artist), feat. Dolly Parton “Waters never part, until our feet get wet.”~Petra (Christian Rock group) “Life doesn't discriminateBetween the sinners and the saints.It takes and it takes and it takesAnd we keep living anyway.We rise and we fall and we break.And we make our mistakes.And if there's a reason I'm still aliveWhen so many have died,Then I'm willing toWait for it,Wait for it."~Leslie Odom Jr. as Aaron Burr in Lin Manuel-Miranda's Hamilton “The waiting is the hardest part.”~Tom Petty (Rock artist, 1950-2017) SERMON PASSAGEJoshua 3:1-3, 3:9-4:3 (NIV)Joshua 3 1 Early in the morning Joshua and all the Israelites set out from Shittim and went to the Jordan, where they camped before crossing over. 2 After three days the officers went throughout the camp, 3 giving orders to the people: “When you see the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, and the Levitical priests carrying it, you are to move out from your positions and follow it….” 9 Joshua said to the Israelites, “Come here and listen to the words of the Lord your God. 10 This is how you will know that the living God is among you and that he will certainly drive out before you the Canaanites, Hittites, Hivites, Perizzites, Girgashites, Amorites and Jebusites. 11 See, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth will go into the Jordan ahead of you. 12 Now then, choose twelve men from the tribes of Israel, one from each tribe. 13 And as soon as the priests who carry the ark of the Lord—the Lord of all the earth—set foot in the Jordan, its waters flowing downstream will be cut off and stand up in a heap.” 14 So when the people broke camp to cross the Jordan, the priests carrying the ark of the covenant went ahead of them. 15 Now the Jordan is at flood stage all during harvest. Yet as soon as the priests who carried the ark reached the Jordan and their feet touched the water's edge, 16 the water from upstream stopped flowing. It piled up in a heap a great distance away, at a town called Adam in the vicinity of Zarethan, while the water flowing down to the Sea of the Arabah (that is, the Dead Sea) was completely cut off. So the people crossed over opposite Jericho. 17 The priests who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord stopped in the middle of the Jordan and stood on dry ground, while all Israel passed by until the whole nation had completed the crossing on dry ground.Joshua 4 1 When the whole nation had finished crossing the Jordan, the Lord said to Joshua, 2 “Choose twelve men from among the people, one from each tribe, 3 and tell them to take up twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan, from right where the priests are standing, and carry them over with you and put them down at the place where you stay tonight.”

We're called to embrace a revival-inspired generosity—like the Israelites who gave so abundantly, they had to be restrained from giving more. This message explores how true generosity flows from faith, not obligation. Just like the Sea of Galilee gives and thrives, while the Dead Sea only receives and dies, we're reminded that generosity brings spiritual vitality. It's not about equal giving, but equal sacrifice. Trust God, give boldly, and watch what Heaven unlocks in your life.

We gathered to reflect on faith, love, and the biblical meaning of the Covenant of Salt, exploring its symbolism in both the Old and New Testaments. Together, we considered how salt represents preservation, purity, and enduring grace, pointing us to the transforming power of God's love. The discussion emphasized the need to walk in faith expressed through love, to rely on grace rather than the flesh, and to maintain spiritual health through humility, truth, and purity. We concluded by recognizing that grace is God's abundant gift, empowering us both personally and as a community to live faithfully in His covenant.

In this replay from Summer 2024, BibleWorm concludes our summer series on creation care with Ezekiel's vision of a river of life flowing from the temple as told in Ezekiel 47:1 –12. The prophet Ezekiel, writing from the devastation of the Babylonian exile, envisions a radical re-creation of the world that takes place when God's glory returns to the Jerusalem temple. What begins as a tiny trickle of water emerging from under the altar becomes a mighty river that turns even the Dead Sea into a thriving ecosystem teeming with fish. Along the river's banks grow fruit-bearing trees with healing leaves, transforming the desolate land of exilic Israel into a new Eden where both humans and the environment can thrive. What would happen, we wonder, if our communities of faith also became sources of God's life-giving water for the world? How might our desolate lands be transformed if we boldly proclaimed the glory of God in relationship with creation? It doesn't seem like much, we think. But even Ezekiel's raging river of life began as a tiny trickle. What if our efforts could do the same?

“Jehoshaphat was terrified by this news and begged the Lord for guidance. He also ordered everyone in Judah to begin fasting. So people from all the towns of Judah came to Jerusalem to seek the Lord’s help.” (2 Chronicles 20:3–4 NLT) The king of Judah faced a military crisis. “The armies of the Moabites, Ammonites, and some of the Meunites declared war on Jehoshaphat. Messengers came and told Jehoshaphat, ‘A vast army from Edom is marching against you from beyond the Dead Sea’” (2 Chronicles 20:1–2 NLT). The enemies of Judah had joined forces. Their combined military strength was enough to overwhelm Israel’s defenses. Judah’s foes were bent on destruction, and things looked hopeless. There was no way Jehoshaphat’s army could stop the invading forces. The southern kingdom of Judah faced the very real possibility of complete annihilation. We find the king’s reaction and response in verse 3: “Jehoshaphat was terrified by this news and begged the Lord for guidance” (NLT). Notice the connection between the two. Jehoshaphat was terrified because he realized he was powerless. He understood that there was nothing he could do to alter the forces that were bearing down on him. So, he turned to the only One who could alter them. Jehoshaphat poured out his terror, desperation, and helplessness to the Lord in prayer. “O our God, won’t you stop them? We are powerless against this mighty army that is about to attack us. We do not know what to do, but we are looking to you for help” (verse 12 NLT). God replied through one of the men who was present. He said, “Do not be afraid! Don’t be discouraged by this mighty army, for the battle is not yours, but God’s. Tomorrow, march out against them. You will find them coming up through the ascent of Ziz at the end of the valley that opens into the wilderness of Jeruel. But you will not even need to fight. Take your positions; then stand still and watch the Lord’s victory. He is with you, O people of Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid or discouraged. Go out against them tomorrow, for the Lord is with you” (2 Chronicles 20:15–17 NLT). You’ll notice that God didn’t go into a lot of detail regarding His plan. He didn’t say, “First, I’m going to do this. Then I need you to do this.” Instead, He said, “Take your positions; then stand still and watch the Lord’s victory” (NLT). In other words, “You came to the right Source of power, Jehoshaphat. I’ve got it. Watch this.” Jehoshaphat and his army went out to meet their enemies, but they put their worship team out front. When this unconventional advance guard began to sing and praise the Lord, the enemies of Judah started fighting among themselves and destroyed each other. “So when the army of Judah arrived at the lookout point in the wilderness, all they saw were dead bodies lying on the ground as far as they could see. Not a single one of the enemy had escaped” (verse 24 NLT). Maybe you’re facing what seems like an impossible situation right now. Maybe you can’t see a way out. But God can. Call on Him. Then see what He does. Reflection question: What made you, or someone close to you, realize that nothing is impossible for God?

Jonah 3:10 NIV 10 When God saw what they did and how they turned from their evil ways, he relented and did not bring on them the destruction he had threatened.Jonah 4:1-11 NIV 1 But to Jonah this seemed very wrong, and he became angry. 2 He prayed to the Lord, “Isn't this what I said, Lord, when I was still at home? That is what I tried to forestall by fleeing to Tarshish. I knew that you are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger and abounding in love, a God who relents from sending calamity. 3 Now, Lord, take away my life, for it is better for me to die than to live.” 4 But the Lord replied, “Is it right for you to be angry?” 5 Jonah had gone out and sat down at a place east of the city. There he made himself a shelter, sat in its shade and waited to see what would happen to the city. 6 Then the Lord God provided a leafy plant and made it grow up over Jonah to give shade for his head to ease his discomfort, and Jonah was very happy about the plant. 7 But at dawn the next day God provided a worm, which chewed the plant so that it withered. 8 When the sun rose, God provided a scorching east wind, and the sun blazed on Jonah's head so that he grew faint. He wanted to die, and said, “It would be better for me to die than to live.” 9 But God said to Jonah, “Is it right for you to be angry about the plant?” “It is,” he said. “And I'm so angry I wish I were dead.” 10 But the Lord said, “You have been concerned about this plant, though you did not tend it or make it grow. It sprang up overnight and died overnight. 11 And should I not have concern for the great city of Nineveh, in which there are more than a hundred and twenty thousand people who cannot tell their right hand from their left—and also many animals?”1. GOD'S INTERRUPTIONS ARE DIVINE INVITATIONS.Jonah 4:1a NIV 1a But to Jonah this seemed very wrong…2 Kings 14:25 NIV 25 He was the one who restored the boundaries of Israel from Lebo Hamath to the Dead Sea, in accordance with the word of the Lord, the God of Israel, spoken through his servant Jonah son of Amittai, the prophet from Gath Hepher.1.

It sprang up overnight and died overnight. 11 And should I not have concern for the great city of Nineveh, in which there are more than a hundred and twenty thousand people who cannot tell their right hand from their left—and also many animals?”1.

In this powerful service, Guest Speaker Fred Calhoun, Pastor Billy Dupree, and Pastor Shelby Crump brought forth a timely word about staying on the platform of Jesus. Speaker Fred Calhoun spoke on being on the right team with Jesus when we are called up to meet him in the sky. He said “If you want to doubt, pout or live without this isn't the church for you” when speaking about Calvary Tabernacle. We very much appreciate him visiting our church. From Luke 4:18, Pastor Billy reminded us that the platform of Jesus has never changed—it has stood for over 2,000 years and it is still anointed today. Every believer has a ministry, and we are all called to be useful in the body of Christ. Just as the Dead Sea has no outflow, a Christian without release becomes stagnant—we must let the Spirit flow through us. Pastor Billy emphasized that Jesus came to heal the brokenhearted, set the captives free, and invite us to live in the power of His Spirit. His arms are always open, no matter your past. When God sets you free, you are free indeed. Pastor Shelby Crump continued from 1 Corinthians 12:11–13, reminding us that we are all part of the body of Christ, called to pray, serve, and work together. If you want to be on the winning team, get on Jesus' platform today.

In this episode, Baylor Barbee reminds us that work and life will never get “easy.” As you level up—whether in your career, fitness, or personal growth—challenges grow with you. Coasting may feel comfortable, but it leads to stagnation, loss of purpose, and a slow decline in the very dreams you once chased. Drawing lessons from Picasso's constant reinvention, the Dead Sea's lifeless stillness, and the false victories of the “loser's bracket,” Baylor challenges you to stop hiding behind preparation and start equipping yourself for the next level now. Key Takeaways: Work Never Runs Out: Stop waiting for a mythical “caught up” day—it doesn't exist. Leveling Up Means New Challenges: Each stage requires new skills, not just mastery of old ones. Comfort Kills Growth: Stagnation breeds decay in your goals, relationships, and purpose. Push Past Preparation Mode: “I'm getting ready” is often just a disguise for fear of growth. Surround Yourself with Movers: Being around people striving for their next level fuels your own. Notable Quotes: “If you can coast, it's too easy. And if it's too easy, you're not giving your all.” “So many people are winning in the loser's bracket under the false pretense they're champions.” “The Dead Sea is dead because nothing flows in and nothing flows out—don't let that be your life.”

Do the Coyote Ugly thing, because we are back for our seventh season of new/old Wie is de Mol episodes - and we're going all the way back to 2009's offering in Northern Ireland & Jordan! Over these nine weeks, three guys who are offensive but accurate - Logan, Michael & Bindles - are recapping and looking back at all that happened on a titanic season that people have been asking us to do for years, continuing with the seventh episode and elimination of Rick. In this episode - Michael finally gets to do a joke, we answer the age-old question of whether Phil Keoghan could beat a tiger in a fight, Pieter Jan is more relatable than ever, it's finally acceptable to comment on how small the group is, Jon explains how tests work, we reminisce on our time in retail, there are some Australian Survivor jokes which have definitely aged well, Rick gives us a science lesson, we talk about going to the Dead Sea again, Logan launches a new segment, we wonder where Annick's spa visit came from, Vivienne misses a wink, Rick is overshadowed by a DVD, Logan locks in his first single suspicion of the season and Rick's eulogy looks a bit shaky. Thank you for listening - we will see you next week for Episode 8! Please note: This season is intended on being spoiler-free, so please watch the episodes along with us. As with our coverage of Seasons 11, 14, 16 & 17, there are no spoilers due to Logan not having seen the season before. However, any season we have already covered (WIDM 10-11, 14, 16-25 and Renaissance; België 4-13) is fair game though. This episode is supported by our friends over at Zencastr.

Rabbi Yosi vs. the Rabbis - on a field that was fertilized by the manure of idolatry, or the like, and how that field can be planted, and what terms are required for that to happen. Plus, the potential ramifications of their same logic on leavened dough. When the problematic item that is prohibited from benefit, can it be redeemed for money, and then destroy those coins in the Dead Sea? The rabbis say that there's no financial redemption for idolatry. Also, several new mishnayot: One who takes wood from an asherah tree cannot get benefit from that wood, so what happens if that wood were used to heat a new oven? Or an old oven? Or bread? Or a garment that was woven with idolatrous items? What about revoking the idolatrous status? As long as thee non-Jew is clear that he's not treating the tree as an object of worship, then he is not. Plus, the Roman god of Mercury and the stone-throwing idolatrous worship thereof.

Read OnlineHerod the tetrarch heard of the reputation of Jesus and said to his servants, “This man is John the Baptist. He has been raised from the dead; that is why mighty powers are at work in him.” Matthew 14:1–2Herod the tetrarch was one of three brothers and a sister who became 1st-century rulers to succeed their father, Herod the Great, when he died in 4 B.C. Herod governed much of the territory west of the Sea of Galilee, which was the territory in which Jesus spent most of His time during His public ministry. He also ruled a territory just east of the Dead Sea, which is where he had imprisoned and ultimately killed John the Baptist. Herod was known for being a very busy builder and is prominently known for his role in the deaths of Saint John the Baptist and Jesus.Recall that Herod had taken his brother's wife, Herodias, as his own, and John the Baptist publicly opposed this. For that reason, Herod had John arrested and ultimately beheaded at the request of Herodias, who took the Baptist's criticism very personally. Herod, on the other hand, had a strange sort of admiration for the Baptist.The Gospel passage quoted above reveals a somewhat unusual statement by Herod. After he had killed Saint John the Baptist, he heard about the reputation of Jesus Who was traveling throughout Herod's territory preaching and performing many mighty deeds. Word spread fast about Jesus and quickly reached even the ears of Herod. So why did Herod strangely think that Jesus must have been John the Baptist raised from the dead? Though we do not know for certain, we certainly can speculate.In the version of this story found in the Gospel of Mark, we read, “Herod feared John, knowing him to be a righteous and holy man, and kept him in custody. When he heard him speak he was very much perplexed, yet he liked to listen to him” (Mark 6:20). Herod may have been a man who had a spark of faith but was ultimately ruled by his passions and desire for power. Perhaps that is why he initially kept John the Baptist alive in his prison. It also appears that Herod had some form of either regret or fear over his beheading of John. And it is most likely for this reason that Herod immediately thought of John when he initially heard of Jesus and the “mighty powers” that were at work within Him. Regret, fear and guilt are common effects of a conscience that is in conflict. Herod the tetrarch is a good example of what happens when we do not resolve that conflict within ourselves. The only way to resolve the interior confusion of a conflicted conscience is to humbly submit to the truth. Imagine if Herod would have repented. Imagine if he would have sought out Jesus, confessed his sins, and begged for forgiveness. What a glorious story that would have been. Instead, we have the witness of a man who has gone astray and remained obstinate in his sin. Reflect, today, upon this unholy witness of Herod. God can use all things for His glory, and He can even use the example of Herod to reveal to ourselves any similar tendency. Do you struggle with regret, fear and guilt? Does this cause conflict within you? The good news is that this conflict is easily resolved by a humble heart that seeks the truth. Seek the truth by admitting any long-lasting sin you need to resolve and permit the mercy of God to enter in so as to set you free. My merciful Jesus, You desire that all people experience freedom from the sins of the past. You desire to penetrate our hearts and to bring resolution and peace. Please help me to open my mind and heart to You in the areas that still cause pain and regret, and help me to be set free by Your infinite mercy.

Is Bible prophecy unfolding in real time? This conversation dives deep into the prophetic books of Daniel, Ezekiel, and Revelation to uncover what Scripture reveals about the end times. From the rise of the Antichrist and the revived Roman Empire to the precision of Daniel's visions about world empires, ancient prophecies are aligning with today's headlines. Daniel's four beasts, the ten kings of Revelation, and the shocking accuracy of events predicted in Daniel 11 all point to a supernatural authorship of Scripture. Ezekiel 38's Gog/Magog War and modern movements in Israel are placing the Middle East at the center of global attention—just as the Bible foretold. The rediscovery of the ancient holy anointing oil described in Exodus 30 and Psalm 133—found near the Dead Sea in 1989—signals prophetic preparation for Messiah's return. Global systems like the World Economic Forum and the push toward a one-world government mirror what Daniel and Revelation warned about centuries ago. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2 new mishnayot! First, an alternative to taking a graven image to the Dead Sea - grind it off (but then the leavings become fertilizer, which would be getting benefit from it). With a parallel to improper use of that which had been consecrated, including that which emptied into the Kidron Valley (a story of King Asa), where fertilizer was less in use... Also, the story of Rabban Gamliel and the rebuke that comes his way for being in the bathhouse of Aphrodite (he has several defenses).

The talk by Dr. Clayton Shumpert explores the profound responsibility Christians have to share the gospel, framing the withholding of this message as a form of "murder by neglect" akin to withholding life-saving water. Drawing parallels to historical tragedies and contrasting the generosity of the Sea of Galilee with the barrenness of the Dead Sea, the message emphasizes the importance of a mission-minded church, highlighting its potential to build faith, fellowship, and financial stability while ultimately securing a future reward and witnessing the fruit of labor as converts express gratitude for the life-giving message received.

More on finding shards, and the problematic nature of tangible hands, feet, etc., when found. But why are those tangible imagery forbidden? The idol has been destroyed! Also, the possibility of revoking the idolatrous status, and rendering it permitted for use altogether - how actively, physically must that be done? Or does it have happen on its own, without your intervention? Also, a new mishnah! Certain figures that are considered idolatrous and need to be fully "erased" - at the Dead Sea: sun, moon, stars, dragons. But are those the only possible things that were worshipped? Plus, the issues in depicting people's faces.

In this episode, I sit down with Matthew Vincent to discuss the power of being specific about what you want in life and how it impacts your journey.

Welcome back to The Keto Vegan, I'm Rachel, your host. Today marks our 100th show—and instead of our usual lighter fare, I'm turning the mic toward something deeply personal and urgent: the crisis in Gaza. I'll guide you through how consumer choices—from hummus to makeup, tech to banking—can support or stop the suffering. Plus, we'll unpack how our government plays into it and what steps you can take. Let's use our voices and wallets for justice. Key Takeaways Consumer Power Is Real – Our spending choices and boycotts send a message. Even one action can spark change. Know Your Labels – Brands like Sabra, SodaStream, Coca‑Cola, McDonald's and Dead Sea skincare may fund or benefit from the occupation. Tech & Finance Matter – Hewlett‑Packard, Barclays, AXA and others are implicated in enabling human rights violations through services or financing. UK's Role – The UK supplies vital F‑35 parts to Israel, facing criticism from Amnesty International and HRW, who argue this risks complicity in war crimes. You Have a Voice – Write your MP, sign petitions, join peaceful protest and support organisations like Amnesty and HRW. Hold Hope Close – Despite the darkness, there's UK humanitarian aid flowing. We can amplify it by visualising and acting for peace. Best Moments (verbatim) “I'm going to talk about food to avoid… Redefine Meat… founded in 2018 by Ness Ziona, which is in Israel…” “PepsiCo acquired SodaStream in 2018… previously manufactured in an illegal Israeli settlement. It also has a documented history of racial discrimination against Palestinian workers.” “Human rights organisations have strongly criticised this stance of the UK providing these F‑35 components… Amnesty International explicitly stated… this continued supply places the United Kingdom at risk of complicity in genocide.” “If you write a letter to your MP start with your full name and your address so they can see that you are one of their constituents…” “Focus on love, focus on compassion, focus on kindness, on harmony, on peace… visualising peace in Gaza.” #GazaBoycott #BDS #ConsumerActivism #UKArmTrade #HumanitarianAid #KetoVeganPodcast #EthicalLiving #PeaceInGaza #AmnestyInternational #HumanRightsWatch Valuable Resources Link to the information can be found here: https://theketovegan.life/%23100-boycotting-israel Watch here: https://www.youtube.com/@TheKetoVegan/podcasts Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/821471059206067 Email: rachelghinn@gmail.com

The Gospel of John Week 3 Scripture: John 1:19-51, Malachi 4:5-6, Psalm 105, Daniel 7:13-14. Today we take a look at John the Baptist, his questioning by religious authorities, the Baptism of Jesus, and meet some of His first followers. As Pastor begins today's class we learn about who John the Baptist was and Pastor shares personal photos he has taken in the location where John lived and preached. John the Baptist is the one who God foretold through Malachi the prophet: “Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and awesome day of the Lord comes.And he will turn the hearts of fathers to their children and the hearts of children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the land with a decree of utter destruction.” Malachi 4:5-6  John even dressed like Elijah: leather belt, animal skin clothing, ate locust and wild honey, lived in the wilderness.  John the Baptist was totally devoted to preparing the way for the Messiah. John 1:23 tells us, “John replied in the words of Isaiah the prophet, “I am the voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way for the Lord.'” He knew Messiah was coming! Pastor lays out a map of the area around the Jordan River, Dead Sea and Bethany where John lived and preached and offered baptism - a cleansing done in anticipation of meeting God - a ritual washing in Judaism that signified a cleaning off of ones sins - repentance. John 1:29-31, “The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!  This is the one I meant when I said, ‘A man who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.'  I myself did not know him, but the reason I came baptizing with water was that he might be revealed to Israel.” John the Baptist preaches that the Messiah is coming. And He calls Jesus the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. John the Baptist understands who Jesus is and in verses 32-34 - we read his testimony: “Then John gave this testimony: “I saw the Spirit come down from heaven as a dove and remain on him.  And I myself did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water told me, ‘The man on whom you see the Spirit come down and remain is the one who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.' I have seen and I testify that this is God's Chosen One.”” As we explore Jesus' baptism - the question is why was Jesus baptized?  Let's start with why were people receiving John's baptisms - because they realized they were sinners and needed to repent and the baptism represented the washing off of sin. But Jesus is sinless - why doe He get baptized - because it symbolized His willingness to take on all the sins that had been washed into the river. He goes into the water implying He is willing to take all of our sins onto Himself. And that's where the road to the cross begins. In John the Baptist's testimony says that the Spirit come down and remained on Jesus and He is the One who will baptize with the Holy Spirit and with fire. Jesus is the One who will bring the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.  Pastor shares an overview of the difference between the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament and the Holy Spirit in the New Testament and shows us that we are in the Age of the Spirit. Pastor also shares encouragement for the American church to find its way back to acknowledging the Spirit of God that has been poured out. As our story continues we see Jesus begin to gather the group that would become His disciples. We meet Andrew, Peter and Nathaniel. Pastor gives some interesting insights to these men. Pastor summarizes this first chapter of the Gospel of John:  Jesus is the Word made flesh, who dwelt among us, who is the very glory of the Heavenly Father and who is God come to earth. Join us next week for chapter 2 as we continue to learn about Jesus' identity, about Judaism, about who Jesus the Messiah is, what He is doing and what that all means.

OBADIAH (SERVENT OF YAHWEHThere is at least twelve people name Obadiah in the Bible. Smiths Bible Dictionary The book itself does not include much information about Obadiah, nor the date and place of the book being written The book of Obadiah is about Edom's judgment and Israel's restorationAccording to Mark Rooker: “The book of Obadiah is a condemnation of Edom for her evil treatment of Judah during the time of Judah's greatest crisis, the fall of Jerusalem to the Babylonian empire.” In this morning's study I will go into detail on who are these Edomites and what Obadiah is all aboutThe main purpose of this prophecy of Obadiah is to reveal to us the events that must take place for this world, Yahweh's creation, to become established as the Lord's KingdomNote: For the most part, throughout this study, “Esau” and “Edom” refer to the descendants of Esau. Likewise, ‘Jacob' refers to the descendants of Jacob (i.e. Israel) Obadiah means “Servant of Yahweh”. As a servant of Yahweh our desire is to work for Him and also to be pleasing to Him. This is really where it begins for each of us. Yahweh is not going to teach us, illuminate Biblical texts for us, or give us insight if we are not interested in serving Him or doing His work  The very fact that this book consists of only one chapter should alert us to its importance. If it was unimportant, Yahweh would not have preserved it, and it would have disappeared long ago. Its length also simplifies our task of discovering its message. Like all the Bible books, this one has a message that is vital for us today as well as for its original reader's centuries ago1.       This is the shortest book in the Old Testament with 21 verses 2.       About Edom1.       It is a country located on the southeastern shore of the Dead Sea 2.       Sometimes it is also called Seir as indicated in Genesis 32:3; 36:20–21, 30; Numbers 24:18 3.       The father of the Edomites was Esau and the battle between Israel and Edom goes back to their forefathers who were twin brothers Esau and Jacob in whom they were already fighting in the womb as seen in Genesis 25:21-274.       When the Hebrews headed towards the Promise Land Edom refused them travel through their territory (Numbers 20:14–21, Judges 11:17–18)5.       At one point David controlled Edom (2 Samuel 8:13-14, 1 Kings 11:15-18) but two centuries later they threw off Judah's control during the reign of Jehoram (2 Kings 8:20-22) 6.       Later Edomites raided Judah and took captives during the reign of Ahaz (2 Chronicles 28:17) 7.       The worst act of Edom against Israel was participating with the Babylonians with the Babylonian destruction of Jerusalem1.       “Remember, O Lord, against the sons of Edom The day of Jerusalem, Who said, “Raze it, raze it To its very foundation.”” (Psalm 137:7)3.       Edom's sin1.       Pride1.       They have pride in their defensive capital makes them think no one can invade and defeat them (3-4)2.       They have pride in their renowned wise men (8)3.       They have pride in their mighty warriors (9)2.       Violence towards Israel: ““Because of violence to your brother Jacob, You will be covered with shame, And you will be cut off forever.” (10)Join me as we go Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse, Unraveling the Words of Yahweh!Have any questions?

One of the most common questions I get is, "how do we raise our kids who aren't entitled...especially if we've had success in some aspects of life?" And it makes sense. Most of us are who we are because of the struggles we've had to endure to get here. We value what we have, we aren't entitled. But...so many kids (and adults) these days are. Why? It turns out there's one very basic (but countercultural) thing you can do that will allow you to bless your kids to the moon and back without them becoming entitled. Listen in as Jeremy and April teach us how to make sure our kids turn out like the Sea of Galilee (abundant, full of life), not the Dead Sea (salty and dead!).

The Gospel of John - Week 1 Scripture: An overview of John chapters 1-21. The Gospel of John is different than the synoptic gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke. The Gospel of John is unique as 90% of what is written in this gospel is found nowhere else. And John gives us a unique view of Jesus, too. Pastor Dodge shares with us who John was, and the evidence around John being the author of this book.  John was considered Jesus' best friend and one of Jesus' inner circle.  Also, John and Peter often worked together in their mission work. It is thought that The Gospel of John was primarily the gospel story written for gentiles. However, this view changed after the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls.  Pastor shares the interesting story of the young boy, tending his sheep, who discovered the Dead Sea Scrolls in Quman Cave 4 around 1946-47 on the northwestern shore of the Dead Sea. The Dead Sea Scrolls contained copies of the Hebrew Scriptures. After there discovery, the Gospel of John was seen as a book that speaks to all, but was written to let the Jewish people know the Messiah has come. Pastor shares that recent archaeological evidence points to the accuracy of the Gospel of John and shares several examples. Simple Outline of John:     ⁃    Prologue 1:1-18     ⁃    Jesus' ministry 1:19-11:57     ⁃    Passion of Christ and Resurrection 12:1-21:25 From the opening verses of this gospel it is clear it is special. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.”  John 1:1-5 This book is all about God's love for us, about Jesus' identity, who He is and written in a way that proves Jesus is who He says He is.  John shows Jesus as being the One who fulfills everything that God promised to His people. We see John's purpose in the end of chapter 20, “Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.” John 20:30-31.   John ends his gospel with, “This is the disciple who testifies to these things and who wrote them down. We know that his testimony is true. Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.” John 21:24-25. Jesus did so much that if we wrote down everything the world itself couldn't contain the volumes! Next week we will dive head long into the Gospel of John and move from this broad view to a verse by verse study of the book!

They start with a light-hearted banter that transitions into the deeper purpose of Christian living, stressing how Jesus' teachings from 2000 years ago are still relevant and necessary today.   These metaphors come from Matthew 5, where Jesus tells us, “You are the salt of the earth” and “You are the light of the world.” Jason explains that the Greek phrase for salt losing its saltiness literally means salt that “plays the fool” or loses its purpose. He delves into the science of pure salt (NACL), which doesn't lose its saltiness unless mixed with impurities—similar to how a disciple loses their ‘flavor' when their heart isn't pure. They talk about keeping the heart pure, ensuring our impact remains strong. Josh adds humor by discussing the phrase “stay salty,” shifting to a serious note on how to maintain our ‘saltiness' through purity. Using the Dead Sea salt analogy, they stress that impurities can corrupt our faith. Josh highlights fears of losing our spiritual flavor and reassures listeners using Greek terminology to emphasize remaining undiluted. The duo moves into genuine discipleship and the importance of ongoing self-assessment and transparency. Josh discusses Re:generation, a community for overcoming struggles like insecurity and pride, not just addiction, encouraging open sharing for spiritual growth. Jason quotes Romans 7, reminding listeners of our inherent need for Jesus and the weakness in our human nature. This converts to positive action: depending on Jesus to maintain our spiritual 'saltiness.' Josh illustrates the necessity of keeping our hearts and daily activities pure by humorously describing a youth pastor's lesson involving brownies with ‘a special ingredient,' underscoring the impact of even minor impurities. Another key point is that salt produces thirst, and Christian living should evoke curiosity in others. They stress the need for Christians to stand out positively to create spiritual thirst in non-believers. The conversation mentions concerning statistics about issues within the church, like divorce and addiction, indicating a need for Christians to live distinct lives that truly reflect Jesus. Wrapping up, they challenge listeners to pray bold prayers, asking God to reveal and purify any impurities. They emphasize the importance of being filled with the Holy Spirit to maintain their impact on the world. The episode ends on a motivational note, calling for revival and active spread of Jesus' light and teachings.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Political correspondent Sam Sokol and archaeology reporter Rossella Tercatin join host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. As Shas party leader Aryeh Deri threatens to leave the coalition, Sokol discusses the pressure being placed on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by the ultra-Orthodox parties to wrangle Likud lawmaker Yuli Edelstein and the law he is writing regarding Haredi army enlistment. There is intense anger in the ultra-Orthodox world over the issue, says Sokol, who also notes an act of arson in a Shas synagogue in Sunday, as the Shas party announced its intention to leave the coalition over its anger with Netanyahu regarding the Haredi draft bill. Sokol notes that a political insider told him there's a relatively low chance of these pressures leading to new elections. Even if the current coalition is dissolved, there would still be up to five months of its ability to continue functioning and for the coalition parties to buy more time for themselves. Tercatin discusses two sets of findings, one regarding the Bible. A pioneering new algorithm looks at the layers of oral traditions and writers of the Bible and its editors. The algorithm helps discern which words are used most often and the writing style, creating new methods of analyzing ancient writings and answering questions about the history they present. She also looks at a radiocarbon dating study that was used to examine one of the Dead Sea scrolls, helping futher determine the timeframe when it was written, and whether the current scrolls are first copies or early editions.

Hello Beloved. ”THE MYSTERIES OF GOD HAVE BEEN REVEALED.”For those that knock - and demand the truth….text everything and bring it into light. Today we dip our toe into the lost books of teh bible and how the walk of Jesus far outstretched in what is portrayed in the bible according to the validity of the Essenes ( lost books of the bible discovered ). This is not a religious belief conversation, it is a historic overview of curiosity and deeper revelation of truth through a open mind and heart. That said…..LET'S HOP IN! POINT BLANK: One of the greatest spiritual enigmas of all time—the kind that makes you tilt your head and whisper, “Wait, what?”—is the missing 18 years of Jesus's life.You know the ones.The Gospels tell us about his birth, his moment of brilliance at age 12 in the temple, and then… silence.Until he reappears at 30, ready to turn the world inside out.It's as if the most formative years of the most influential spiritual teacher in history were tucked away behind a curtain.But what if that curtain is ready to be pulled back?Exploring the Lost YearsNow, I'm not here to sell you on conspiracy theories or fringe ideas just for the thrill of it.But I am here to explore the beautiful, messy, and fascinating mosaic of possibilities that suggest Jesus's “lost years” were anything but idle.There's a growing body of scholarship, oral tradition, and even ancient manuscripts that hint Jesus may have spent these years not in obscurity, but in study, in pilgrimage, and in deep spiritual practice across some of the most sacred lands on Earth.The Essene ConnectionLet's start with the Essenes.These weren't your average desert dwellers.They were a mystical Jewish sect living near the Dead Sea, devoted to ritual purity, communal living, and a prophetic vision of a coming teacher who would uplift humanity.Some scholars, like Edmund Bordeaux Szekely in The Essene Gospel of Peace, suggest Jesus was trained by them—immersed in their practices of fasting, healing, and spiritual discipline.The Dead Sea Scrolls, discovered in 1947 at Qumran, echo teachings of divine justice, purity, and a “Teacher of Righteousness” that feel uncannily similar to Jesus's later message (see: Vermes, G., The Complete Dead Sea Scrolls in English).Echoes of KabbalahAnd then there's the thread of Kabbalah, the Jewish mystical tradition that dives deep into the nature of God, the soul, and the cosmos.Lawrence Gardner, in The Magdalene Legacy, proposes that Jesus was not just a preacher but a mystic—someone who understood the Tree of Life, the sacred geometry of creation, and the divine spark within all beings.When Jesus says in the Gospel of John, “I and the Father are one,” he's not just being poetic.He's articulating a mystical truth that resonates deeply with Kabbalistic teachings on unity and divine emanation.Journeys to EgyptBut the trail doesn't stop in Judea.It winds its way south to Egypt, where the ancient Mystery Schools taught the secrets of resurrection, inner alchemy, and soul initiation.Gerald Massey, in The Historical Jesus and the Mythical Christ, draws parallels between Jesus and Osiris—the Egyptian god of death and rebirth.Manly P. Hall, in The Secret Teachings of All Ages, even suggests Jesus may have been initiated in the Great Pyramid itself, undergoing the sacred rites of transformation.Egypt wasn't just a place of pyramids and pharaohs—it was a spiritual university, and Jesus may have been one of its most dedicated students.The Indian SojournAnd then—this is where it gets really juicy—there's India.Yes, India.The land of sages, yogis, and the Upanishads.The connection begins at his birth, with the Magi—wise men from the East, possibly Hindu rishis—who followed a star not just in the sky, but in their inner vision.In Indian spiritual tradition, the “star in the east” refers to the third eye, the gateway to divine insight.Their gifts—gold, frankincense, and myrrh—were traditional offerings for newborns in India, not just symbolic tokens.Fast forward a few decades, and we find the most intriguing account of all: The Unknown Life of Jesus Christ by Russian journalist Nicolas Notovitch.In the late 1800s, Notovitch claimed to have discovered Tibetan manuscripts in a monastery in Ladakh, describing the life of “Issa”—a name used for Jesus—who traveled through India, Nepal, and Tibet.These texts describe a young man fleeing societal expectations, studying the Vedas in Puri, challenging the caste system, and preaching universal love and nonviolence.Later, in Tibet, he studied Buddhist sutras—teachings that echo in his later messages about humility, renunciation, and inner peace.Now, Notovitch's claims were met with skepticism, of course.But Swami Abhedananda, a respected Indian monk, later traveled to the same monastery and corroborated the existence of the texts.Paramahansa Yogananda, in his spiritual classic Autobiography of a Yogi, also referenced Jesus's time in India, emphasizing the harmony between Christ's teachings and the yogic path of self-realization.This wasn't about borrowing ideas—it was a soul recognizing truth across borders.The Aquarian GospelAnd if you're still with me (thank you), let's talk about The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ, written by Levi H. Dowling in 1908.Dowling claimed to have transcribed the book from the Akashic Records—a kind of cosmic memory bank.The Aquarian Gospel offers a sweeping narrative of Jesus's travels through India, Persia, Greece, and Egypt, learning from every major spiritual tradition of the time.Whether or not you believe in the Akashic Records, the book paints a compelling picture of a Jesus who was not only divine but deeply human—curious, humble, and committed to understanding the universal truths that bind us all.Mainstream PerspectivesOf course, mainstream Christianity has struggled with these ideas.The Gospels are silent on these years, and the Church has historically resisted narratives that suggest Jesus learned from other traditions.But let's be honest: the Bible has been edited, translated, and reinterpreted countless times.Can we really say we have the whole story?Or is it possible that what we've been given is just one chapter in a much larger, richer tale?A Bridge Between WorldsBecause here's the thing: When we allow ourselves to explore these possibilities—not as dogma, but as sacred curiosity—we begin to see Jesus not just as a figure of worship, but as a bridge.A bridge between East and West.Between the mystical and the practical.Between the divine and the human.His teachings on inward prayer, fasting, and the kingdom of God within mirror the meditative practices of yoga and the self-inquiry of the Upanishads.His parables echo the allegorical wisdom of Egyptian initiation rites.His message of love, compassion, and inner transformation is, in essence, the heart of every great spiritual tradition.And maybe, just maybe, that's the point.That truth is not a possession, but a path.That divinity is not a hierarchy, but a homecoming.And that Jesus, in his lost years, wasn't lost at all—but walking the long, sacred road that would prepare him to light the way for us all.Your thoughts? xo Kassandra.

The face of the American military is undergoing a much need transformation. On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we spoke to a woman who has been tracking the downward slide of the U.S. military on all fronts for several years. She joined us to share how the removal of DEI and creating a higher standard for so-called “tip of the spear” units is creating a healthy, more robust armed forces. Many of the people who toil in the Lord’s fields go unnoticed by the majority of us and are glad to do so. We had the privilege to hear the story of one such woman whose work in bible translation has transformed the work of missions around the world. Her diligent labor has opened doors for hundreds of people to hear the Word of God in their native tongue. We spent some quality time with our favorite missionary to the entertainment world as she shared how her ministry would be celebrating the National Day of Prayer and how high-quality bible-based films and television series are finding new and enthusiastic audiences. The discovery of the Dead Sea scrolls continues to impact our understanding of ancient times. We shared the amazing story of the “lost cave” and what was discovered in it and importance of these documents to our knowledge about biblical history. For many of us the most challenging relationship with have is not with the people we meet but the food that we eat. A highly respected family therapist and friend to this program joined us to put a biblical perspective to our relationship with food, dieting and whether or not we should use today’s most popular weight loss drugs. One of our favorite bible teachers rolled up his sleeves once again and tackled some of your most challenging questions about the bible and the Christian life. As we wind down another week, we turn our focus to the never-ending cycle of news in the marketplace of ideas and encourage you to join us as we dissect it under the disinfecting sunlight of God’s unchanging truth.Become a Parshall Partner: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/inthemarket/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
