Exploring the Beauty of the Sea of Galilee, March 29
Our Fishing Boat Experience
We set sail on the Sea aboard a wooden fishing boat, reflecting on the stories of Jesus calming the storm and walking on the water. The crew raised the US flag to be flying near the Jewish flag and we all sang the National Anthem. Pastor Tom shared a talk with us from Matthew 14:22-33, focusing on how Jesus takes our burdens if we will just give them to Him. This was quite a time of reflection and worship. What was wonderful was that the owner of the boat is a Jewish believer, and he is the only boat company allowed to take believers on the Sea of Galilee. His boats are named Faith, Hope and Love. Ours was the "Love" boat. He is also an accomplished singer and ended the time singing to us, "Hoshia-na" (Hosanna. God save us please.) It was a great song and a wonderful ending to our experience on the Sea.
