Jerusalem church continues bold stand despite arson attack - Pastor Steven Khoury

Jerusalem church continues bold stand despite arson attack

Pastor Steven Khoury of Calvary Church is determined to continue taking a bold stand for the Gospel despite sometimes violent opposition, including a recent arson attack against the church's building in the eastern Jerusalem Arab suburb of Shuafat.

Khoury had just returned from one of his many speaking engagements abroad when church elders urgently notified him of the attack.

"Pastor, we finished our youth revival meeting. Sunday evening a big fire was intentionally started attacking the front and sides of Calvary Church building," an elder frantically explained over the phone. "The fire department in Jerusalem brought two large fire trucks which caught the fire in time before burning up our church building, playground and our church vehicle."

What's worse, none of the church's neighbors bothered to notify Khoury or his staff about the fire, another indication that his actively evangelistic ministry is unwelcome in the area.

It's not that many of the church's neighbors didn't care, but, as the elder explained, "because of our standing firm in being a lighthouse and teaching Jesus many will not say anything of fear of physical attacks on them, there children or property."

Shuafat has long been a flash point of conflict, and Israeli rescue forces and police typically avoid the neighborhood for fear of sparking a violent response.

This is where Khoury and his team are working to share the love of Yeshua. And their troubles did not begin with the arson attack.

The church continues to operate out of temporary facilities, and landlords are becoming increasingly hesitant to rent to these Christians. In fact, Calvary Church was recently notified that at any time it could be told to vacate its current premises.

The church is now seeking the funds to purchase its own building. A suitable building has already been located, and, as Khoury explained, "This opportunity is a miracle as the Lord lead us to the ONLY Muslim willing to sell to us. By selling to us he is actually risking much, the only way we can explain his willingness to sell is that the Holy Spirit is leading him."

While the new building would prevent the church from ever being evicted, it could become even more of a target for attack. In fact, Khoury has every intention of letting his light shine even brighter. "What an opportunity to be a lighthouse in between two of the largest Arab Muslim towns outside of East Jerusalem," he told Israel Today. "Calvary is already providing people in the community with the rare opportunity to hear and learn about Jesus."

While the church's current circumstances would deter most, Pastor Khoury remains resolute. "We will continue enduring because we believe what we are doing is reviving the church in the city where it all began."

Pastor Steven Khoury, we are praying for you. May the Lord Jesus Christ continue to strengthen you, settle you, and fill you with His Spirit. Your sufferings for Christ are an example to us all. We pray that the Lord will provide you with a building, and that many Muslims will come to know our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (Acts 19:9-10). May His love continue to make you bold. God bless you, brother.

First Century Christians met in their homes, in small groups, for worship! The Twelve apostles received no instructions from the Holy Spirit to construct meeting places! The example the First Christians set in this regard is followed today by many Christians; no expensive building and grounds to care for, allowing time and resources of Christians to be used more productively in helping the poor and in disciple making! The constructing of Churches large and small began only after the Apostles had died off and the "Great Apostasy" Jesus and Paul foretold, took root.

True. The 1st Century followers of Yeshua did not need to build meeting places, they already had them - the synagogues. May the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob bless Pastor Khoury mightily as he resolutely stands for Jesus and, hopefully, with Israel and the Jewish people.

Dr. Jim Heyman
God's mercy and grace and blessings to you, brother.

I thank the Lord for you Bro. Stephen. Many years ago I served the Arab Baptist church with Pastor Milad Hanna and knew your father in Bethlehem. May the Lord bless and encourage you and give you His wisdom in how your church proceeds. God will have His strategy to reach the people of the Shuafat area. May the Lord protect His people and the Gospel go into the dark corners of Shuafat and many turn from darkness to Light. You are in our prayers. "Greater is He who is within you than he who is in the world" I think of the times of persecution in Acts when the 'church met in Peter's mother's home' and the Lord Himself told the disciples to seek out a 'man of peace' in the area and stay there. You alone will know who but you mention a friendly Muslim man willing to cooperate with you.

What a wonderful Blessing Steve Khoury, is to all of us. What beautiful comments today about him. May the FATHER in HEAVEN Bless him; and keep him, My prayer that everything he is doing the HOLY SPIRIT will be in his mist and keep him safe from harm.

Susan Hunsinger
Pastor Khoury, ever since I heard you speak in April, I have been praying for you and HLM. I wrote down a couple of your quotes from the conference in April and the first quote has become the prayer of my life.
"Blow the dust off of me. I want to be fully sold out to You." and,
"If You get me through this, I will love You even more."
Many prayers are being lifted up in your behalf and on behalf of your family and Calvary Church.

We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. For we who live are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. 2 Corinthians 4: 8-11

Rosh Hashanah, literally "Head of the Year," marks the beginning of the Jewish New Year. Special foods are eaten during Rosh Hashanah - for example, we dip apples in honey to symbolize a good and sweet new year.

Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, is the most solemn day in the Jewish calendar. The Bible prescribes Yom Kippur as a day of affliction (Lev 16; 23:26-32). In modern observance, Yom Kippur involves a fast from both food and drink.

Sukkot, the Feast of Tabernacles, is a week-long feast during which the Jewish community builds temporary shelters (sukkot means "booths" in Hebrew) to remind each generation that our forefathers lived as nomads, wandering in the desert for forty years.

Provoking The Jews To Jealousy - Ze'ev Nevo (Israel Media Ministries)

Ze'ev Nevo

Provoking The Jews To Jealousy

Shalom! As the winds of war are surrounding Israel, we must pray for the peace of Jerusalem. But let us not stop there. God is calling us to "Provoke the Jews to Jealousy." Let's try to find out why and how we should do that.

Honestly speaking, provoking someone to jealousy doesn't sound to me like the noblest behavior. Wouldn't you say that it is almost the opposite of how a follower of Jesus should act? It reminds me of how a 6 years old classmate showed me his ice cream cone, while licking it in front of my face, gladly singing in my ears "na na na na na, I have an ice cream and you don't!" Now tell me, how exactly that goes along with "Love thy neighbor as thyself?"

So what does God mean when He is telling Gentile followers of Jesus that they are to "Provoke the Jews to Jealousy?" That's exactly what we want to find out. The term "Provoke to Jealousy" appears three times in Romans 10 and 11. The first of these three is found in Romans 10:19 where Paul is quoting the words of Moses from Deuteronomy 32. This is where we have to do some digging!

Deuteronomy 32 is known as "The Song of Moses." Yes, Moses wrote a song. Not just because he felt like it, God commanded him to do so. Here's how it happened. In Deuteronomy 31:14 God spoke to Moses and told him: "Behold, the days approach when you must die." Then God reveals to Moses that after he will die the people of Israel "...will rise and play the harlot with the gods of the foreigners of the land... And they will forsake Me and break the covenant which I have made with them." (31:16-17) God told Moses that as a result He will hide His face from Israel and that they will face"many evils and troubles."

Nevertheless, God had a plan. He instructed Moses (and Joshua) to write a song and teach it ("Put in the months", in Hebrew) of the people of Israel. Why? "...that this song will be A WITNESS FOR ME among the children of Israel." (31:19B)

A-Ha! The purpose of this song is to WITNESS to the children of Israel, so that they will realize the cause of all their misery and who is their One and Only Solution! Let me jump ahead and say that the last line of the song declares: "He will provide atonement to His land and His people." (32:43) Amen!!

The song of Moses is indeed quite a witness! And as we might expect itwitnesses about Jesus. Let's find out where.

Just like in Romans 10 and 11, the term "Provoke to jealousy" appears three times in the song. Jesus, in addition to being the focal message of the entire Bible, and as such, of the entire song of Moses as well, is also mentioned very specifically several times throughout the song. The first time Jesus is clearly mentioned here isjust one verse before the term "Provoke to jealousy" appears for the first time: "But Jeshurun grew fat and kicked; you grew fat, you grew thick, you are obese! Then he forsook God who made him, and scornfully esteemed the Rock of his salvation." (32:15)

Jeshurun is one of the names of Israel in the Bible. This verse, written about 1400 BC, prophecies that Israel will scornfully esteem (in Hebrew, "Curse!") the very Rock of their ownsalvation! As you may already know, the Hebrew name of Jesus, Yeshua, means 'Salvation' (Mat. 1:21, Acts4:12). Immediately after the word "Yeshua'to" (His salvation) at the end of verse 15, we get to the Hebrew word "Yakni'oohu" in verse 16, which means "Provoke Him to jealousy."

Incredible! Even if we look just at verses 15-16 we see the following prophecy: Israel will reject God, curse the Rock of their salvation (their own Savior), and as a result they will provoke God to jealousy!

Now we are in a better position to understand why God wants to provoke Israel to jealousy, are we not? -- God LOVES Israel! He is a Husband to Israel (Jer. 31:31 - "though I was a Husband to them") and althoughIsrael provoked God to jealousy by breaking the covenant relationship with Him and entering into a relationship with other "gods", The God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel has not given up on restoring His marriage with the children of Israel. God is intensely jealous about Israel. Why? Because His everlasting love for Israel painfully resonates in His heart.

God wants Israel back! But He will not do it by Himself. His method of accomplishing it is through a new covenant that He promised to Israel(Jer. 31:32). This new covenant will be proclaimed and lived out by a new group of people, the Gentiles, the people from all the other nations, whom were grafted into a covenant relationship with the God of Israel; the same group of people whom previously were considered by God as "those who are not a nation." We find it in the song of Moses (Deut. 32:21) where God says about Israel: "They have provoked me to jealousy by what is not God... But I will provoke then to jealousy by those who are not a nation."

Guess who is a crucial member of that new chosen group? You are absolutely right! It is no other than YOU! Now it is your time to move into action. God wants to use His covenant relationship with YOU to provoke the Jews to jealousy. This will usher Israel back to the Rock of their salvation whom they have rejected:"The stone that the builders (the Jews) rejected has become a cornerstone." (Psalms 118:22) This will lead to the fulfillment of Moses' prophetic song: "He will provide atonement to His land and His people."

"That's great", you say, "But how can I provoke the Jews to jealousy?" That's a good question. To find the Biblical answer we need to look no further than... the song of Moses. Just like the song of Moses, God calls you to be a Witness for Him among the children of Israel. We are to Witness to the Jewish people, whether they live next door, or anywhere else in the world. Thanks to modern technology, we can now witness together to the Jewish people in Israel and worldwide.

As the events unfold in the Middle East, let us reach out to the people of Israel with the saving message of their very own Messiah and Savior.

God bless you for provoking the Jews to jealousy with me,
Ze'ev
