The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him;
though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand. Psalm 37:23-24

Dear ,
This week, the weekly Torah reading Shemot, begins the Book of Exodus. Pharaoh issues harsh decrees against the Israelites, beginning decades of Jewish suffering and slavery. Moses is born and raised in the Egyptian royal palace. After killing an Egyptian, Moses escapes to Midian and marries. God appears to him in a burning bush and demands that he return to Egypt to redeem the Israelites. Moses returns to Egypt with the intention of
freeing the Jewish people.

Root Source News brings you into the Knesset chamber to be part of the 5th ever Knesset Bible Study that took place on December 4, 2018.
Studio See: Besides Jerusalem and Peni-El discussed previously, I would have to say one of my other favorite places in Israel is Beth-El, (Bethel) the House of God. Few places in Israel are so well preserved as this one.
Root Source hosted its first Leadership Breakfast in Dallas, Texas on 12 November 2018. Gidon Ariel shares the story of how he first began to connect with Christians.
We sign off with a lovely quote from a Root Source student and an amazing photo.

Weekly Portion:
Shemot – December 29 – 21st of Tevet
|
In this Shabbat’s weekly Torah portion Shemot, Exodus 1:1 – 6:1 , the children of Israel multiply in Egypt. Threatened by their growing numbers, Pharaoh enslaves them and orders the Hebrew midwives, Shifrah and Puah, to kill all male babies at birth. When they do not comply, he commands his people to cast the Hebrew babies into the Nile.
In this week’s Haftara Prophets reading Isaiah 27:6 – 28:13; 29:22 – 29:23 , on many levels. One of the parallels is the message of redemption conveyed by Isaiah—“and you shall be gathered one by one, O children of Israel”—that is reminiscent of the message of redemption that God spoke to Moses at the burning bush, a message that Moses then communicated to Pharaoh.
Happy studying!

Root Source News brings you into the Knesset chamber to be part of the 5th ever Knesset Bible Study that took place on December 4, 2018.
Besides Jerusalem and Peni-El discussed previously, I would have to say one of my other favorite places in Israel is Beth-El, (Bethel) the House of God. Few places in Israel are so well preserved as this one.
Like Peni-El, Beth-El is also famous for a visit by Jacob when he slept and dreamed of a ladder with angels ascending and descending on it. The historical site is just outside the Jewish community of Beit-El, which is about 10 miles north of Jerusalem.

Thanks for asking questions we all want to hear answers to and can glean from for our own ministries today. What a great testimony of how our Lord knit your 3 hearts together to affect His end times with heartfelt love and fellowship. Powerful example of the forming of the one new man relationship. Look forward to the rest of the videos!!
