Foundations with Mandy and Robbo

In our last program we began a new series about the Messiah and in particular, we began to look at the prophecy about the Virgin Birth and the claim that many believe this particular doctrine is a myth. We’ll dispel that myth today on Foundations. Your support sends the gospel to every corner of Australia through broadcast, online and print media: https://www.vision.org.au/donate See omnystu...

Building fences to most people, in a metaphorical sense, usually indicates fixing a repaired relationship, to patch things up.

Does God pray? If so, who does He pray to since He’s God and already knows all things? We’re continuing our conversation on the topic of Tefilah ? the Hebrew word for prayer on Foundations.

To some people prayer is easy and comes naturally, for others, it’s a real struggle. To the Jewish mind, Tefilah - prayer - is a much deeper more intimate interaction with God. There’s also the belief that God Himself prays. That’s the concept we’ll be looking at on Foundations.
