Nazareth In the Bible
1. Nazareth was the home of Joseph and Mary, and the place where the angel Gabriel was sent to announce to the Virgin Mary that she would be the mother of Christ the Messiah (Luke 1:26-38).
Faith Lesson from the Life of Mary
1. Mary was a righteous person whom God saw would honor and obey Him with the great gift of being the mother of Christ. Are we devoted to God in such a way that He would entrust to us abundant blessings?
2. Mary did not remain a virgin after giving birth to Christ, as many believe. She had many other children, as we can see all throughout Scripture: Is this not the carpenter’s son? Is His mother not called Mary, and His brothers, James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas? 56 And His sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this man acquire all these things?” (Matt. 13:55-56).
Are we students of God’s Word so we believe the truth, or do we follow what our church or others teach instead? Who is our highest authority in what we believe: people or God’s Word?
3. Mary is not to be worshiped like some do but is an example to us of a person of deep faith and obedience. Do we revere and honor Mary, or do we worship her?
Once again a beautiful message. May God continue to bless you richly. Thankyou
The Stomping Grounds of Jesus! Such a divine ring to that❤❤❤🙏🙏
Good job.
God bless you ❤
Thank you
Thank You Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
Thank you for this!!
Live this episode 🙏🏽🇿🇦
Mary mother of Jesus has earned the right to be respected only to had privilege of carrying Jesus in her womb and for that I applaud her. We all know she didn't have any power to do miracles or to heal the sick. Jesus is only my Lord and Savior and only to Him will I praise and Love. He died for me, I live for Him!
Thank-you for all of your tour postings. I was hoping to go to the Holy Land but not now.
I love the quality of your videos and depth of the teachings.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
I have enjoyed listening to you until the point where you are giving wrong information to us.
Mary was virgin before Jesus
Mary stayed virgin when She gave birth to Jesus
( that wasn’t a process of giving birth as we know it goes. That was a soft process of giving birth with no pain at all and it was all God work)
Mary stayed virgin after She gave birth to Jesus.
When Jesus refers to brothers and sisters He refers to us all we are His brothers and sisters…
Also Mary She has never died.
Mary She has fallen asleep and She was risen to heaven with her body too by Jesus Himself
If we don’t worship Mary then mount Athos would not have existed
If we don’t worship Mary then all the Saints and Apostles have no significance.
Mary the virgin is Mary the virgin and is not Virgin Mary because of a simple fact.,after her was other virgins with the same name but only one that is called Mary the virgin and not Virgin Mary…
I wish I could be there in person to see all this 😔 I want to walk where yeshua walked there and Mary ❤
Thank you for these very important lessons. ❤✝
My dream is , for me to be able to be blessed financially and then be able to go to Jerusalem and then join you on one your tours. That would be the best thing EVER!❤❤ Please pray for me Dr Todd because I need a miracle to have that kind of money. lol Another wonderful video. Thank you 🙏🙏💛💛❤❤
I was blessed to go to Israel two times , this is what I did
I made an Israel fund , I started with a modest sum of money , I think it was around 50.00 , than I prayed
To the Lord to increase it , &
It took me about a year to pull the money together !
But I can tell you I witnessed the Lords hand in this , because there was money to fill the Fund to
Israel . I tried to do this
3 years earlier with no success , I just thought it wasn't the right timing for me to go or it was a ministry that I was going to with ?, I was so sure the
Lord Wanted me to go, and I even lost 300.00 , I put a deposit down to go
But , and lost it because I didn't have enough to go 😢 , so 3 years after that I tried it again and I was successful , than I returned the next following year , plotting away budgeting
My funds,& this next time
I wanted to take My sister
With me and I had to help
Support her trip as well
And I was able to do it
The money was there in my
Budget to make it happen !
I'd love to go again this time with pastor Todd ! I pray its
By Gods grace I will be able to fulfill this desire 🐑
Take care I pray you will be
Sucessful amen
My dream is to walk the streets of gold in the New Jerusalem one day soon.
The little money I have, I give to pastors and evangelists in order to increase the number of people going to that blessed place.
Thanks for the video! Excited to watch, God bless you and yours
I love these teachings and videos
Excellent teaching. Thank you.
First comment
7:52 interesting thing. In that scene, there is a tree in the background that seems to resemble a crucifix.
Love watching Mr Todd m finks fabulous holy land tours,❤
Thanks. I finally got my answer. I wanted to know how old the women were when conceiving children.
Excellent talk about Jesus being God, and also about respecting Mary, but not worshipping her.
At 2:17 you mentioned that Mary would have been stoned, but since Israel was under Roman occupation, they were not allowed to carry out capital punishment.
God, of course, knew what it was like to be a human without becoming one, but he did it in order to leave us a perfect example.
if Mary had other children , then where they gone when Jesus
was crucified. Do you have a proof in your Bible.
Anahata bobtisom first ❤ jesus christ universe is charkra
If you are in Israel right now it's best to leave, not safe
Elizabeth was her sister not au t
GOD BLESS YOU
