On the journey from Passover to Shavuot, we count the 50 days of the omer. In this time we reflect on our spiritual growth preparing ourselves so we will be found faithful at the return of Yeshua our Messiah!
In this time of Passover, may we be witnesses to many others of the great redemption available to all who will come and behold Yeshua, our Passover Lamb!

Moses knew he was destined for greatness but saw that hope dashed. His hope was reborn, but he had to persevere in faith to overcome.
We were made for something extraordinary. And God sets us free that we may become what he has purposed from the beginning.
