Israel began as a nation of shepherds. As Samuel and Keila Wearp explain, Abraham was a shepherd, as were David and Deborah. It shouldn’t be a surprise that shepherds are still important in Israel today as the Jewish people reclaim the land God gave them. What may be surprising is who these shepherds are, and the importance of their work for the future of Israel. That’s an important part of this second part of our conversation about the Wearps’ Sheep Shearing expedition with their ministry, Rising Sparks.
The restoration of Israel is a work in progress, which means the final redemption of Israel and the whole world is still a work in progress. Barry Phillips and David Jones have a few thoughts about how God is proceeding with that work, and the way He invites us all to participate. That’s the topic not only of their midrash, “Stones, Children, and Builders,” but also of the music shared by Samuel and Benjamin Wearp and the Exodus Road Band.
