AN INVITATION TO WALK WITH JESUS IN A DEEPER WAY

            A trip to the Holy Land is really not as much about walking where Jesus walked as it is walking with Jesus in a deeper way. One of the many ways we get to know Jesus better is by getting to know the Bible and the land and culture in which Jesus lived and ministered. Almost the entirety of our Lord’s earthly life was spent in the region from Dan to Beersheba, which includes Bethlehem, Nazareth, Jerusalem, Galilee, Jericho and so much more.

The Garden Tomb

         There’s something special about experiencing the Bible in the land of the Bible. So many people who make this journey experience a renewed love for scripture and feel as if the Bible comes to life. The smell of incense and spices in the outdoor market; the sound of sheep bleating, and shop keepers selling their wares, cause you to feel as if you have stepped into the very pages of Scripture.

The Sea of Galilee

         As you visit each place, taking a moment to gaze upon the same landscape the disciples saw, pausing to worship in the places Jesus and His followers worshiped and prayed, listening for the echoes reverberating through 6,000 years of history, your love for scripture is deepened. These hills and valleys are not just where Jesus and His disciples walked, but where Abraham, Joshua, Elijah, Gideon, Solomon, David and so many others lived out their lives partnering with God to tell His story of redemption. Join Jody and I on this journey to the place where your faith began. Your love for God’s Word and God’s Son will never be the same.
