Come join us for an extraordinary journey to the Land of the Bible. Visiting Israel is far more than a trip—it is an opportunity to see God’s Word come alive and to deepen your faith in ways that shape you long after you return home. On this tour, we will stand in the very places where Jesus walked, sail the Sea of Galilee, open the Scriptures on the Mount of Beatitudes, explore the sites of the prophets, and walk the ancient streets of Jerusalem. Every day immerses you more deeply in the story of redemption written across this land. But this particular journey carries a special purpose. In a moment when the Church is longing for clarity, courage, and a biblical understanding of the times, we will gather for three special evenings of teaching in the Galilee—the very region where Jesus carried out much of His earthly ministry. With the hills of the Galilee surrounding us, we will reflect on God’s unchanging truth, the hour we find ourselves in, and the hope that anchors our lives in Christ. Throughout our time together, we’ll enjoy rich fellowship, heartfelt worship, and meaningful moments of prayer. To walk the land of the Bible and see Scripture unfold before your eyes is more powerful than words can describe. I truly believe this will be a spiritually significant journey for a time such as this. Do not miss this opportunity to encounter the land, the Scriptures, and our present moment with renewed strength and expectation. PLEASE NOTE: To tour with Pastor Brandon you must chose the David Citadel Tour. For more information & registration info, click here.

Eternal Crowns: Ruling & Reigning with Messiah We are excited to announce the release of Pastor Brandon Holthaus’ new book, Eternal Crowns: Ruling & Reigning with Messiah. This is a powerful resource for believers who want to understand the eternal rewards promised in Scripture and how our faithfulness today will echo into eternity. The Bible speaks of five crowns—the Crown of Life, Crown of Rejoicing, Crown of Righteousness, Crown of Glory, and the Imperishable Crown. These are not just symbolic honors; they are real rewards that grant believers the right to rule and reign with Christ during His Millennial Kingdom and throughout eternity in heaven. The Apostles Peter, John, and Paul all described these crowns and explained how they are earned. Pastor Brandon reminds us that every trial and difficulty we endure has a purpose. The struggles of life are not wasted; they refine us into the likeness of Christ and prepare us for the day we stand before Him. At the Bema Seat, the faithful will be rewarded—not for salvation, which is already secure in Christ, but for faithfulness, obedience, sacrifice, and perseverance in the Christian walk. In Eternal Crowns, Pastor Brandon unlocks the treasure room of heaven and explains what it means to earn eternal crowns and reign with Messiah. This book will challenge, encourage, and equip you to live with eternity in view and to endure with the hope of ruling alongside Christ. 📘 Eternal Crowns: Ruling & Reigning with Messiah is now available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and wherever books are sold. We pray it blesses you and strengthens your walk with the Lord as you live faithfully in these last days. 👉 Get your copy here
