The ninth day of the fifth month on the Jewish calendar, called Tisha B'Av, starts this evening.
Jews around the world will be fasting, recalling the tragedies that befell Israel during this time, reading the book of Lamentations, and crying out to God.
But it's also a time of hope! God says in Zechariah 8:19 that in the future this time of mourning will become a day of joy.
In the meantime, Tisha B'Av is an opportunity to stand in solidarity with Israel and intercede on behalf of the Jewish people.
Want to be a part of that, but aren't sure exactly what to do?
The God of Abraham Hymnal is history's first Messianic Zionist hymnbook and has three chapters dedicated to this day with songs themed to lamentation, intercession, and hope for Israel. And the BEST part is that it's beginner-friendly! Along with print and ebook formats it's also available as YouTube shorts so you can just play the melody on repeat and sing along to the lyrics in the video description.
Same goes for the Son of David Psalter, which also has a special chapter showing the Psalms that Yeshua would have sung on the Ninth of Av with his family and disciples.
Get your copy of the hymnbook here https://www.ourhymnal.com and the psalmbook here https://www.ourpsalter.com (or make your way to the YouTube shorts through the Melodies pages!)
I hope you'll take some time to sing, or even just pray, these psalms and hymns with your family, fellowship, or even just by yourself, this Tisha B'Av.
And as a Jewish person, I thank you for your love and support. Yeshua is the King of the Jews, and what a joy and an honour to stand with his nation on this solemn occasion.

Can you believe it's been over a month since the Daily Commandment program started? And what a journey it's already been! I've heard nothing but positives from our many enthusiastic listeners.
I wanted to share Sue's comment with you here because, while we're all watching world events escalating, it reminds us how to get ready: learn Yeshua's commandments, walk them out, and get as many people as possible to join you.
That's where the Daily Commandment comes in. And it's not too late to join! Sign up today at https://713commands.com and discover what it really looks like to walk out "all that I commanded you".
And if you're getting the Daily Commandment but haven't shared about the experience yet, this is your chance! I'd love to pass on your encouragement to our community too - just leave a quick note wherever you're listening, or on Commandment #1 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wJLj_6Eue0

P.S. Congratulations to our newest member ...
WHAT IF the most popular baby names of a generation aren’t random? Why did Judith rise alongside the Zionist awakening? Why did Michael dominate for decades, followed by Jacob — and then Noah? Could these names be telling a story about the generations themselves?
In this new series, we’re going to follow those names through the last hundred years and ask a much bigger question: could a generation’s top names reveal something deeper in the present, and possibly even give us a glimpse of the future?
But first: why take that idea seriously at all? In this introduction we go back to the Tanach and ancient Jewish tradition to explore the belief that parents receive divine inspiration when naming their children — and the remarkable biblical statement that Hashem “calls the generations from the beginning.”
I'm making this first video open to everyone because it's such an important message and I don't want anyone to miss it. WATCH FREE:
And even if you...
Is it just me or is Discord really weird and complicated? I joined last week and it tried to sell me mermaid bubbles and then I remembered why I didn't join earlier.
If you watched my fall ministry update (https://youtu.be/jrYyIQssmYM) then you know that I'm planning to start engaging the rising generation in some serious ways in the next year. So I guess that means Discord.
And would you know it, shortly after I created my server my two older daughters, aged 17 and 11, were the first to join! Now they'll actually discover what I DO!
If you wanted to join the three of us, here's the invite: https://discord.com/invite/nTEtps28J
And even if you aren't on Discord, would you send this invite to somebody in their teens or twenties who wants to learn more about the Bible and get closer to God?
I recently started posting to a bunch of other social media platforms too. See which ones and follow here: https://www.holylanguage.com/social
Please pray I'll have the strength in the coming ...
