In the Bible we read about sheep as a metaphor for people. That’s nice and poetic, but there is a reason God put that metaphor in His book – a reason connected to His land and people of Israel. Samuel and Keila Wearp have learned about that through hands-on experience! These newlyweds had a working honeymoon in Israel, where they led a team of Christian volunteers in an expedition to shear sheep on a farm in the Biblical heartland of Judea. It was the first adventure of their new ministry, Rising Sparks. We learn about it in this four-part conversation, but before we hear about their work in Israel, we get to hear Keila’s story!
Tending sheep, like tending a garden, is an occupation that can teach us about our connection with our Creator. Barry Phillips and David Jones investigate that connection in their midrash, “Adam As A Type of Priest.” Will Spires has been singing about this connection for many years, as we hear in the musical selections for this show.

The Catholic Priest had my dad in purgatory, heaven, the grave, and with the saints all at the same time during his sermon at the funeral. I cleared it up during the eulogy. But Christian folks, please understand dead people are.... dead.

The "captain of the Temple" in Acts 4:1 was probably the commander of the Temple guard on duty at the time.
When the priests and Sadducees heard John and Peter preaching at the Temple, they all came running. Corrupt authorities can't tolerate competition. The Sadducees had two complaints against Peter and John in Acts 4:2:
1) They didn't have approved credentials, which was offensive to the Pharisees.
2) They were teaching resurrection, which was contrary to a core doctrine of the Sadducees.
If Yeshua had really risen, the news would destroy the authority of the Sadducees. I'm not sure they even cared if it was true or not. The threat of The Way to the power base of the Sadducees and Pharisees was so obvious that the Sanhedrin was convened together with the chief priests to discuss it and to question Peter and John.

What’s that?…these are the words which Moses spoke into just the Jews?
Nope!
…Unto ALL ISRAEL!
Are you part of Israel?
If Yeshua is your Messiah then you are indeed.
Maybe you recon yourself part of the “New Israel”. Or perhaps a “spiritual Israel” or the “Israel of Elohim”. Maybe you imagine there’s somehow a difference between the Israel you are a part of and the people of Israel Moses was speaking to in the wilderness…But in truth there’s only one people of Israel, and it’s not just the Jews. If you follow Yeshua the King Messiah of Israel then it includes you too.
Don’t write off the words of Moses as if he is addressing someone else. He was speaking to your ancestors and therefore also to you. And your King Messiah spoke likewise.
Whether you are native born or brought in from abroad, the words spoken by Moses and repeated by Messiah are meant for you aswell. Heed them.
