Israel Day 1 Part 3

The last half of the day we went to Capharnaum, where Jesus preached and lived for 20 months of his ministry.  We were able to see his house, the ruins of the town, and read scripture where it happened.  (there is nothing cooler on this planet than reading scripture where it happened).  After a quick trip to the church of Beattitudes where the grounds were PHENOMENAL, and reading the Blessed are... passage from the Bible, we ended the day on the Sea of Galilee for a church service and a little dancing.  I told Dad if I had flown all that way, and experienced only this one day, it was worth it.  Little did I know all my eyes would see over the next few days.

The town where Jesus spent about 20 months of His ministry

Simon Peters mother in laws house.  Where Jesus is said to have stayed for those 20 months. There is a church built over top of the house

The foundations of the houses that surrounded where Jesus lived.

He knitted that sky just for us.

Where Jesus preached the I am the Bread of Life sermon . This church was built on top of the original foundation - which you can still see.

The church of the Beatitudes

Sea of Galilee view from the boat

We were on a boat.

Gearing up to preach on the same waters where Jesus calmed the storm, walked on water, and did many miracles during his ministry

Not our boat, but looked like it.

Doing the Havah Nakeila (spelling?)  traditional Jewish dance. Yes - a bunch of baptist danced.
