Issachar Expressway

Contributed by David Western on Nov 10, 2025

“The Issachar Expressway.” Let’s learn from a group of people in Scripture who understood how to navigate uncharted territory—the men of Issachar—and how you and I can become like them.

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 18, 2025

In the parable of the distribution of pounds, in Luke 19:13, Jesus tells us how Christians should live until He returns. • He tells believers to OCCUPY TILL HE COMES!
