THE HOUSE! Our group started this final and big day at the Temple Mount, where we were able to learn the history of Mount Moriah. A key takeaway from this spot was to see how God has looked to dwell with his people along our journey with him. When the Israelites dwelled in tents, he made his home...

Our day began on the shores of the Dead Sea. Josh led us through a devotional on Psalm 23. Such a great challenge for us to continually remember God is enough and he is our ultimate satisfaction. He provides for us, he sustains us, he restores us, he leads us…ah, The Perfect Shepherd! Shortly...
