Gathering Mighty Men and Women of God Together - Now Think On This by Steve Martin

Gathering Mighty Men and Women of God Together

Steve Martin

The first day of November, in our Lord’s year 2018;

Peter and Joy gathered the troops for a Fripp Island stay.

Mighty men and women, loyal and committed souls,

Sought the Lord as one - in talks, in walks, to pray.

For you see, over these past 10 years or so,

He has brought together, to place hand in hand;

These called to fulfill that which each one has; to make

A moving Body, a dedicated team, a soldiers’ band.

From the north, south, east and west.

From the east, and west, north and south we’ve come,

Drawn by Our Father, Holy Spirit and Righteous Son.

Just as the ones going to Israel moved too,

The Three have brought us together, to walk as one.

Apostles, prophets, teachers - all with pastors’ love;

Evangelists, worship teams and gifted families abound.

The Body of Christ, reflected through this team of AIC,

Pierces the darkness with fierce, glorious sounds.

It is a gathering of mighty men and women of God,

Planned and purposed from eternity’s start;

We’ll show the world the way to forge ahead,

As immense love emits from our Father’s great heart.

Digging deep together - ONE FOR ISRAEL

Dr Erez Soref President of  ONE FOR ISRAEL  Shalom! Here at Israel College of the Bible the landscape of the Scriptures and the history of Israel is right outside our door! So we make the most of the opportunities to take our students outside, and go on field trips together. On Thursday we will explore the northern town of Zippori, a feast for archaeologists. It was here that Herod Antipas lived, and it was an important center of Rabbinic Judaism for a while, where the Sanhedrin used to meet. We will see well-preserved mosaics and ancient synagogues, but we will also enjoy some unhurried fellowship time with the students. STAFF IN THE SPOTLIGHT: Andreas Stutz, Faculty staff  You know Moti, Eitan and Erez by now, but we would love to introduce you to some of our staff who are not so often in the spotlight! Here is Andreas Stutz, who teaches Theology here at Israel College of the Bible. Andreas is from a Jewish family who made aliyah to Israel from Switzerland when he was three years old. After serving in the Israeli army, he married and moved with his wife to Germany to study Theology.  He has studied in three seminaries there, and earned his most recent qualification from the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary at the Bibelseminar Bonn. Andreas pastored a Church in Germany for five years and has now returned to Israel with his family, as a valued member of our faculty at Israel College of the Bible.  Andreas teaches several courses, including Theology, Introduction to the Bible for our "Firstfruits" foundation course, Wisdom Literature, and is currently teaching a course on the book of Acts. He has a great passion for exegesis with a view to preaching, and regularly shares his love of text-driven preaching with our students! Israeli Jewish Millionaire  found her lifestyle to be empty.  Watch her amazing journey to...JESUS! PRAY FOR LONDON AND LEARN HOW TO OVERCOME ISIS   There are some twisted people who are so committed to their religion that they will kill for it. But we are led by a matchless Messiah who never harmed a soul, never encouraged violence, and was even willing to die for his enemies - the very opposite. As we follow Yeshua, are we willing to follow in his footsteps of self-sacrificial love? Martyrs for Yeshua don't kill, but offer life, even to their murderers. Continue reading... WE ARE COMING TO OREGON! On May 20th, we will be at Life Bible Church, 23650 Peoria Road, Harrisburg, Oregon, to speak about the exciting things that God is doing among us here in Israel, and how you can be a key part of it! The event will be 5-8pm, with doors opening at 4:30pm. It will be an invitation only event, so if you would like to join us, please register no later than May 6th.  FOLLOW US:

Let's Read the Bible Together! ✡ "Man Became a Living Creature" - ISRAEL365

Then the Lord God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the soul of life, and the man became a living creature. Genesis 2:7 (The Israel Bible™) וַיִּיצֶר יְ-הוָה אֱ-לֹהִים אֶת הָאָדָם עָפָר מִן הָאֲדָמָה וַיִּפַּח בְּאַפָּיו נִשְׁמַת חַיִּים וַיְהִי הָאָדָם לְנֶפֶשׁ חַיָּה בְּרֵאשִׁית ב:ז va-yee-tzer a-do-nai e-lo-heem et ha-a-dam a-far min ha-a-da-ma va-yee-pakh b'-a-pav nish-mat kha-yeem va-y'-hee ha-a-dam l'-ne-fesh kha-ya

Today's Israel Inspiration Today's verse describes the Almighty creating man out of both the physical world and the upper, spiritual world - the body is formed from the dust of the earth, and the soul is gifted from the very essence of God. Little known is the etymological connection between the Hebrew word "adamah", which means ground, and the Hebrew word for man, "adam". This link is not random, rather the Hebrew language comes to teach us an important lesson of the relationship between humankind and the ground. Just as man comes from the "dust of the ground" and inhabits it, his duty in this world is to recognize that his own potential directly corresponds to a duty to the earth, which was also created by God in His great kindness. Believe it or not, there are countless hidden lessons such as this one that are found throughout the Hebrew Bible when you take a closer look at the wording God uses. With their unique methods and approach towards revealing secrets of the Bible, the Israel Institute of Biblical Studies will astound and amaze you with a new world of Hebrew education. Reveal God's Hidden Secrets in the Hebrew Bible » The Biblical Roots of the Word 'Hallelujah' The English word "Hallelujah" is a Hebrew loanword: it came to us from Biblical Hebrew and has been absorbed in the exact same form in modern speech. But how did this come about? Watch » Discovered: 1,800 Year-Old Column Engraved With Paleo-Hebrew Inscriptions In Israel, archaeological digs are known to find ancient communities and structures beneath the ground along with relics left by the people who lived and worked there. These discoveries often confirm Biblical events and the location of ancient settlements.
