The Hebrews had spent forty years wandering in the desert and were ready to finally enter the land that God had promised to their ancestor Abraham. Joshua, the successor of Moses, took charge and prepared to lead the people of God into the Promised Land. He sent two spies and said to them, “Go, view [...]

Did you know that less 1% of Jews in Israel believe in Jesus, in Yeshua, as Messiah? That’s right, less than 1% of Jews in Israel are Messianic Jews. That’s a small number, but we learn from Scripture that God does big things with small numbers. We see an example of this in Judges [...]
