Verse of the Day: Psalm 37:1-9 - Do not fret because of evildoers, Nor be envious of the workers of iniquity, for they shall soon be cut down like the grass, And wither as the green herb. Trust in the Lord, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass. He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, And your justice as the noonday. Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him; Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass. Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; Do not fret—it only causes harm. For evildoers shall be cut off; But those who wait on the Lord, They shall inherit the earth.

Prayer
Pray you'd have mercy and that you would restore security and calm and true peace on that border and let people come back home to a new life.
Pray for all the 101 hostages that are still being held in those terror tunnels in Gaza that you would set them free.

Verse of the Day

Ezekiel 33:1-3 - The word of the Lord came to me: “Son of man, speak to your people and say to them, If I bring the sword upon a land, and the people of the land take a man from among them and make him their watchman, and if he sees the sword coming upon the land and blows the trumpet and warns the people, then if anyone who hears the sound of the trumpet does not take warning, and the sword comes and takes him away, his blood shall be upon his own head. He heard the sound of the trumpet and did not take warning; his blood shall be upon himself. But if he had taken warning, he would have saved his life. But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet so that the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any one of them, that person is taken away in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at the watchman's hand. So you, son of man, I have made a watchman for the house of Israel. Whenever you hear a word from my mouth, you shall give them warning from me.

Prayer Request

One Million Jewish Followers of Jesus #94 Mar 06, 2023

Half a century ago, there were fewer than 2,000 Jews who believed Jesus was the Messiah. Today, there are approximately one million worldwide.

In this episode of Inside, The Epicenter with Joel Rosenberg, Joel and Carl discuss today’s incredible phenomenon—more and more people of Jewish descent coming to Jesus. Joel tells listeners about the English & Hebrew video testimonies that are getting millions of views and encourages the Church to boldly share the Gospel with the Jewish people, despite the obstacles.

Joel also talks about the lack of interest in this topic by even the Christian media. He discusses a recent film – written and directed by two Jewish men, Stephen Spielberg & Tony Kushner – that depicts Christian and Jewish cultures mingling in a surprising and entertaining way.
