Reunion Roadmap

Christians (including Messianic and Hebrew Roots believers) and Jews  share common ground in Zion, or at least we should. That’s where Laura Densmore of Bridge Connector Ministries picks up this second part of our conversation about the growing presence of antisemitism, or Jew hatred, among Christians. Zionism is the movement for the return of the Jewish people to their ancestral homeland and the resumption of Jewish sovereignty in...

It's not that easy to pray, especially when it seems that God is not listening. So why do we pray? How should we pray? How do we know if it's working? These are questions Barry Phillips and David Jones investigate in this conversation about a basic element of life with our Creator.

In Zechariah 12 we read that God will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all the nations. That’s a word about judgment. When we remember that judgment begins with the household of God (1 Peter 4:17), maybe we should connect the dots and consider whether His judgment of His people starts with our attitude toward the land and people of Israel. Specifically, it may be that the question God is placing before the body of Messiah and ...

Are we allowed to get close to God and be intimate with Him, or do we have to keep our distance? The Bible can be confusing on this point. That's why Barry Phillips and David Jones look into this question to offer some counsel on how to approach the Holy God who actually wants to dwell with and in us.

We talk about people who have a divine call on their lives. Is that only certain people like pastors and teachers, or does God call everyone to something? Before we get to that question, let's consider how well God knows each one of us humans He created. David Jones and Barry Phillips carry us through that line of thought.

The Bible tells us to pray, "Your Kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven." What exactly does that mean? What is this "Kingdom" and why does it matter to us? Barry Phillips and David Jones have pondered this subject prayerfully for many years. In this midrash they share what they have learned.

Hebrews 11 tells us it's impossible to please God without faith. So what is faith? How do we get it? What do we do with it? David Jones and Barry Phillips offer some answers to these questions and more. They have much to say about what faith is, and what it isn't!

We read in the Bible that God's thoughts and ways are different from our own. What does that mean when we are trying to make sense of life? How do we account for the many different understandings we have of God and His word? Barry Phillips and David Jones have some helpful thoughts about that.

How do we define "home"? For the people of God, what is our final or eternal home? Is it heaven, or someplace else? David Jones and Barry Phillips have some deep thoughts about those questions in this midrash.

We've heard the story of Gideon and his 300 chosen warriors who defeated the vast army of Midian through the power of God. What we may not remember is the difficult battles Gideon fought just to get to that place of trusting God to do what He had promised. That's what Barry Phillips and David Jones talk about in this midrash. As they explain, before we can go to war with our adversary, we have to go to war with the things...

What's the big deal about red cows in Israel? Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz explains that in his new book, Return of the Red Heifers: Paving the Road to Redemption. 

This really is a big deal because it brings Israel much closer to restoring the Temple service in Jerusalem just as promised in the Bible. The problem is, this is a subject very few people understand. That lack of understanding, both among Jews and Christians, motivated E...

Who is Amalek and why should we care? That's the topic of this conversation David Jones and Barry Phillips share. Yes, Amalek was an ancient enemy of Israel, but there's more about that ancient struggle than meets the eye. In fact, the struggle is still happening in ways that impact every one of us.

Christian prophetic thought has long understood that God’s timetable centers on Israel. It’s actually more than that, as Samuel Wearp can tell you. Not only is Israel the center of prophecy, it’s the reason for prophecy. The entire history of humanity revolves around God’s creation, redemption, judgment, restoration, and exaltation of His covenant nation of Israel.

Samuel has been connected to Israel for many years, particularly thr...

What does the mention of spiritual warfare bring to mind? Probably something about demonic possession and exorcism - something that we have heard happens to other people. But what if there's more to it - and less to it - than that? What if spiritual warfare is something we do by drawing closer to our God, learning His word, listening for His voice, and obeying His directions? David Jones and Barry Phillips have some thoughts a...

The picture we get of Pharisees probably comes from Matthew 23, which records Yeshua's rebuke of the scribes and Pharisees as hypocrites. But were they all corrupt hypocrites? If they weren't, then what have we missed - and why might that be important? That's what Barry Phillips and David Jones discuss in this journey through the scripture.

Among the peculiar promises of God about the restoration of Israel is this one:

Strangers will stand and shepherd your flocks,
children of foreigners will be your plowmen and vinedressers.
Isaiah 61:5

Samuel Wearp is one of those strangers who will tend the flocks of Israel! He and his new bride, Keila, are even now in Israel leading a team of sheep shearers in a project to assist the Jewish pion...

If Israel really is God’s prophetic timepiece, how does that impact our lives? How should people who profess faith in the Messiah of Israel think about that, and about the Jewish people who are the native born Israelites? Samuel Wearp has some practical counsel about that based on his experience of serving Israel and the Jewish people. It starts with prayer, as we discuss in this second part of our conversation.

But how ar...

Christian prophetic thought has long understood that God’s timetable centers on Israel. It’s actually more than that, as Samuel Wearp can tell you. Samuel has been connected to Israel for many years, particularly through his family’s business, Blessed Buy Israel, and the bridgebuilding work of Ten From the Nations, and now in a new work called Rising Sparks. We talk about all of that in this three-part conversation that starts with...

Hanoch Young has been a Jewish activist since his youth. As he will tell you, that’s what got him arrested on three continents before his 21st birthday! He’s still an activist, but instead of protesting and gaining negative attention from authorities, he’s building bridges with the House of Joseph in expectation that one day soon the two parts of God’s Covenant Nation of Israel will become one in Messiah’s hand.

Is this day when man...
