Have you ever found yourself asking God for direction while quietly hoping He would confirm a plan you had already made?

Most of us have. We seek His guidance for our families, our work, our ministries, and our future. We ask Him to show us the next step and open the right doors. Yet sometimes, before God reveals where He wants us to go, He first asks a different question: Are we willing to follow Him wherever He leads?

This is where the Hebrew word Hineni (הִנֵּנִי, pronunciation hee-NAY-nee) becomes so powerful. Usually translated “Here I am,” Hineni carries a deeper meaning than simply announcing one’s presence. Throughout Scripture, it expresses attentiveness, availability, and a readiness to respond to God. It is the language of a heart that is fully present before the Lord and willing to obey.

As followers of Yeshua, we are invited to cultivate that same posture. God may not call all of us to leave our homeland like Abraham or stand before rulers like Moses, but He does call each of us to live with open hearts and willing hands. He may be prompting you to encourage someone who is struggling, share your faith with a friend, step into a new area of service, or trust Him in a situation where the outcome is still unclear.

God is still looking for men and women who will respond to His voice with trust and obedience. May our response be the same as Abraham, Moses, Samuel, and ultimately Yeshua Himself: Hineni. Here I am.

What can the biblical month of Tammuz teach us today?

In this special message from Israel, Pastor Israel Pochtar reflects on the significance of the fourth month on the biblical calendar and the powerful lessons it offers believers around the world. While Tammuz is remembered as a season connected to some of Israel’s most difficult historical moments, it is also the month in which the prophet Ezekiel experienced one of Scripture’s greatest visions of God’s glory.

From the banks of the Chebar River in Babylon, Ezekiel witnessed a revelation that continues to encourage believers today: God’s presence is not limited by circumstances. Even in seasons of uncertainty, loss, or waiting, the Lord remains faithful, His Spirit continues to lead, and His purposes continue to unfold.

As we explore the story of Ezekiel and the biblical significance of Tammuz, we are reminded that the same God who sustained His people through exile is still at work today. He is drawing people to Himself, strengthening believers, and revealing His glory in ways both great and small.

Perhaps you are facing challenges of your own. Perhaps there are prayers you are still waiting to see answered. This message is a reminder that difficult circumstances do not prevent God from revealing His glory.

The heavens are still open. The Holy Spirit is still leading. The Lord is still faithful.

Discover Israel: Azekah—When Faith Looks Beyond the Giant

Rising above the Valley of Elah, Azekah offers one of the most remarkable views in Israel. From its summit, you can look across the valley where David faced Goliath—a battle that has inspired believers for generations.

Standing here, it is easy to imagine the scene. On one side stood the armies of Israel. On the other stood the Philistines. Between them stood a giant who seemed impossible to defeat. While everyone else saw the size of the challenge, David saw the faithfulness of God. He measured the giant not against his own strength, but against the greatness of the Lord who had already proven Himself faithful time and again.

That same truth points us to Yeshua. The challenges we face may seem overwhelming, but we do not face them alone. Our hope is not found in our own ability, but in the One who has already won the ultimate victory. Because of Him, we can face our giants with confidence, knowing that the battle ultimately belongs to the Lord.

Azekah reminds us that faith does not ignore the giant—it looks beyond the giant to the greatness of God.

📖 “The battle is the Lord’s.” — 1 Samuel 17:47

What do you do when God’s promise seems bigger than your confidence?

This week’s Torah Reading, Parashat Shelach (Numbers 13:1–15:41), tells the story of twelve spies sent to explore the Promised Land. They returned carrying evidence of the land’s abundance, yet ten of them focused on the giants and obstacles instead of the God who had made the promise.

Only Joshua and Caleb chose faith over fear.

Their response reminds us that the greatest battles are often battles of perspective. Fear causes us to focus on our limitations. Faith causes us to focus on God’s faithfulness.

This portion challenges every believer with an important question: Will we trust God’s promises even when circumstances appear overwhelming?

We also discover God’s instruction concerning the tzitzit, the tassels worn by Israel as a reminder to remain faithful to His commandments and walk in obedience.

As followers of Yeshua, we are called to walk by faith and not by sight. Throughout the Gospels, Yeshua repeatedly encouraged His disciples not to fear, but to trust their Heavenly Father. The same call remains for us today.

In this teaching you’ll discover:
• Why the spies’ report divided the nation
• The difference between fear and faith
• The consequences of unbelief
• What Joshua and Caleb teach us about courage
• How Yeshua calls us to trust God
• The significance of the tzitzit

Hebrew Words Featured:
• Shelach (שְׁלַח) — Send
• Emunah (אֱמוּנָה) — Faith, Trust
• Yirah (יִרְאָה) — Fear, Awe
• Bitachon (בִּטָּחוֹן) — Trust, Confidence
• Tzitzit (צִיצִת) — Tassels, Fringes

Join us each week as we explore the Torah from Israel and discover how God’s Word continues to speak to our lives today.

Joy can sometimes feel fragile.

It is easy to rejoice when prayers are answered, when circumstances are favorable, and when life is moving in the direction we hoped. Yet all of us know seasons when joy feels harder to find. Challenges arise, uncertainty lingers, and burdens weigh heavily on our hearts. In those moments, we may wonder whether lasting joy is truly possible.

The Bible gives us a beautiful answer through the Hebrew phrase Simchat Olam (שִׂמְחַת עוֹלָם, Pronunciation: sim-KHAT oh-LAM), which means “Everlasting Joy.”

This phrase appears in one of Isaiah’s most encouraging promises:“And the redeemed of the LORD shall return and come to Zion with singing; everlasting joy shall be upon their heads; they shall obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.” (Isaiah 35:10)

Isaiah was speaking to people who knew hardship, uncertainty, and disappointment. Yet God promised that a day was coming when His redeemed people would rejoice in His salvation and experience Simchat Olam—a joy so deep that sorrow and sighing would no longer have the final word.

What makes this promise so powerful is that biblical joy is not the same as happiness. Happiness often depends on circumstances. Joy is rooted in something much deeper. It flows from the confidence that God is faithful, that His promises are true, and that He remains with us in every season of life.

Discover Israel: Susya—Passing the Torch of Faith

Hidden among the hills south of Hebron lies Susya, an ancient Jewish village whose ruins tell a story that stretches across generations. Archaeologists have uncovered homes, olive presses, and the remains of a synagogue where families gathered to worship, learn the Scriptures, and build their lives together in the land of Israel.

Walking through Susya today, it is easy to imagine those who came before us—parents teaching their children the ways of God, families gathering for worship, and stories of His faithfulness being shared from one generation to the next. Long before books, podcasts, and social media, faith was passed on through daily life, conversation, and example.

That calling remains just as important today.

The Bible reminds us that every generation has the privilege and responsibility of telling the next about the goodness of God. We are not only called to receive His faithfulness—we are called to share it so that others may know Him as well.

Through Yeshua, we become part of a story that spans generations and reaches across nations. The promises of God continue from generation to generation, and the hope we have in the Messiah is meant to be carried forward and shared with the world around us.
Susya reminds us that faith grows strongest when it is lived, shared, and passed on.

“One generation shall commend Your works to another, and shall declare Your mighty acts.” — Psalm 145:4

We are witnessing encouraging signs of spiritual openness as more Israelis engage with the Scriptures, ask questions about faith, and explore the message of Yeshua for themselves.

Through outreach events, personal conversations, discipleship gatherings, and ongoing follow-up ministry, people from many different backgrounds are encountering the hope of the Messiah. Some are opening the Bible for the very first time. Others are revisiting questions they have carried for years. Again and again, we see hearts becoming receptive to the Gospel.

At our Beit Hallel Congregation, evangelism and discipleship go hand in hand. While large outreach events provide opportunities to share the Good News with hundreds—and sometimes more than a thousand people—the real work often begins afterward. Through Bible studies, discipleship courses, fellowship groups, personal mentoring, prayer, and follow-up meetings, men and women are encouraged to grow in their faith and develop a genuine relationship with Yeshua.

One of the greatest encouragements is seeing how God continues to open doors in communities throughout the land. Together with local congregations and ministry partners, believers are being equipped, congregations are being strengthened, and new opportunities to share the Gospel continue to emerge.

Behind every ministry report is a person whose life is being touched by God. A young man searching for purpose. A woman carrying questions she has never felt comfortable asking. A family discovering that the Messiah promised in the Hebrew Scriptures is still transforming lives today.

As Psalm 96:3 declares:

“Declare His glory among the nations, His marvelous works among all peoples.”

Thank you for praying for Israel and for the people who are hearing the Gospel throughout the land. Your prayers, encouragement, and faithful support help make evangelism, discipleship, and follow-up ministry possible.

Makor Chayim (מְקוֹר חַיִּים) — Fountain of Life
Pronunciation: mah-KOR kha-YEEM

The Hebrew phrase Makor Chayim (מְקוֹר חַיִּים) means “Fountain of Life” or “Source of Life.” The word makor refers to a spring or fountain from which water continually flows, while chayim means life. For people living in biblical Israel, this was not merely a poetic image. In a land where water was precious, a reliable spring meant survival. Families settled near it, shepherds depended on it, and entire communities were sustained by it. Without a source of fresh water, life quickly became difficult.

It is against this backdrop that David declares in Psalm 36:9, “For with You is the fountain of life; in Your light we see light.” David understood that God is not simply the giver of blessings but the source from which every blessing flows. Strength, wisdom, peace, hope, and life itself are found in Him. Just as a spring continually supplies fresh water, the Lord continually supplies what His people need.

Throughout Scripture, we see God’s desire to guide His people with wisdom, compassion, and faithful care.

As Moses neared the end of his ministry, he prayed that the Lord would appoint a leader for Israel so that the people would not be left “like sheep without a shepherd.” His prayer revealed God’s heart to provide direction and care for His people in every generation.

Centuries later, Yeshua looked upon the crowds of Israel and was moved with compassion because He saw people who were weary, burdened, and searching for hope.

In this message, we explore how these powerful passages point to Yeshua, the Good Shepherd who knows His sheep and faithfully leads them.

In this teaching, you’ll discover:

• Why Moses prayed for a shepherd to lead Israel
• What Yeshua meant when He called Himself the Good Shepherd
• How God continues to guide His people today
• Why hearing His voice brings peace in uncertain times
• How believers can grow in trust and confidence as they follow Him

In a world filled with competing voices and constant distractions, there is great comfort in knowing that the Good Shepherd still speaks, still leads, and still cares for His flock.

📖 Scriptures:
• Numbers 27:16–17
• Matthew 9:36
• John 10:14
• John 10:27

Thank you for standing with us as we share the Gospel from Israel and help people encounter the love and truth of Yeshua.

The Well of Covenant: Where Promises Were Remembered

In the southern reaches of Israel lies Be’er Sheva, a city whose story is woven deeply into the lives of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Its name means “Well of the Oath” or “Well of the Covenant,” recalling the place where Abraham and Abimelech made a covenant and settled a dispute over a well in the desert.

In a dry land, a well was more than a source of water—it was a source of life. Families, flocks, and entire communities depended on it. That is why wells often became places where important decisions were made, relationships were formed, and God’s purposes unfolded.

Be’er Sheva became one of those places.

Here, Abraham planted a tamarisk tree and called upon the name of the Lord. Here, Isaac built an altar and worshiped after God reaffirmed the promises made to his father. Generation after generation, Be’er Sheva stood as a reminder that God had not forgotten His covenant.

That same faithfulness points us to Yeshua.

The promises God made to Abraham were never abandoned or forgotten. They find their fulfillment in the Messiah, through whom people from every nation are invited into the blessings of God’s covenant and the hope of His Kingdom.

Be’er Sheva reminds us that God’s promises are not temporary. What He begins, He remains faithful to complete.

“I will establish My covenant as an everlasting covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you.” — Genesis 17:7
