Oleaster

A wild olive branch grafted into the cultivated tree of Israel.

Jesus has a sharp word for those who mocked the resurrection: "You know neither the scriptures nor the power of God."

For your consideration this weekend, I humbly submit an expanded "Wonders for the Dead."

Reposting the @OleasterBranch Advent Series in hopes it is a comfort in this season of expectation.

Luke 2:30-32

…for my eyes have seen your salvation
that you have prepared in the presence of all peoples,
a light for revelation to the Gentiles,
and for glory to your people Israel.”

@FarmLady4Jesus Many thanks for reading. It is not easy to navigate through such difficult history, but I feel it is important for Christians to have this context that is not often taught or acknowledged. Blessings to you!

What is the best way to minister to Muslims? Devon Phillips (@devoninMENA) underscores the importance of showing them the love of Messiah.

[First Fruits of Zion @followffoz]

The Middle East is in turmoil and anti-Muslim sentiment in the West has rarely been higher. Many are preparing for an apocalyptic battle in which Muslims are the enemy. Nevertheless, a chosen few have crossed oceans and borders to undertake missionary work in Muslim communities.

Our guest today, Devon Philips, spent years with Frontier Alliance International in Jordan, Syria, and Iraq. She’s here today to help us sort out what’s happening in the Middle East and how we can reach Muslims with the gospel of the kingdom.

Today is seven sevens from Passover, and tonight is Shavuot (Pentecost)—my favourite holiday. I am quote-tweeting my all-time most massive Twitter thread on the subject to celebrate. (Don't worry, an article version is linked a few Tweets in for the faint-hearted.)

@singbarronwoman Thanks for the kind words and for going footnote-hunting! Glad that the article was helpful. Hope you had a lovely weekend with your family.

If you don’t believe in the resurrection, Jesus has three things to say to you:

1) You don’t know the scriptures.
2) You don’t know the power of God.
3) You are quite wrong.

and is not anxious in the year of drought,
for it does not cease to bear fruit.”

May your year be marked with unwavering trust, peaceful perseverance, and fruitfulness in all circumstances. 🙏

A blessing for the New Year:

“Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD,
whose trust is the LORD.
He is like a tree planted by water,
that sends out its roots by the stream,
and does not fear when heat comes,
for its leaves remain green,

This series comes to a close (with a little less than an hour left in Advent!) with "The House of Israel and the House of Judah." What exactly is the "new covenant"? With whom is the covenant made? When will the covenant promises be enacted?

✨New Series Alert!✨
For the season of Advent this year (3-24 December), I thought I would work through how Jesus’s Incarnation affirmed God's covenants with Israel and how his Parousia (second coming) will fulfill them.
