About this sermon
Since 1994, I’ve had the privilege of leading thousands of believers on transformative trips to Israel, but this year’s experience was like no other. In the midst of intense conflict, nearly a hundred of us from multiple countries and states felt called to stand with Israel, to pray for peace, and to show love in action. We traveled to sites filled with history and heartache, witnessing firsthand the resilient spirit of the people, and understanding the weight of what it means to truly pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Standing before Yad Vashem, the Holocaust remembrance center, I was reminded of the dangers of silence. In a time when hatred and anti-Semitism threaten peace, I believe there’s a new generation rising—one that understands the importance of standing together against injustice. During this journey, we faced a moment of terror as sirens blared, forcing us to take shelter from nearby bombing. Yet, in the midst of it, I saw unity, faith, and a profound desire for peace that has changed me forever. I invite you to join me on this journey through Israel. Experience these powerful moments and meet the people whose strength has inspired my commitment to standing with Israel and its people. As you watch, I hope you feel moved to stand for peace and justice in your own way. Let’s raise our voices and show the world that love is stronger than hate.
