      <description>"For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart" (Heb. 4:12, NKJV). Paul Scharf, church ministries representative for The Friends of Israel Gospel Ministry, shares his gratitude for the opportunity to proclaim that Word here on SermonAudio.com.

      <title>Our Journey to The Friends of Israel</title>
      <link>https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pscharf/sermons/5222022145641</link>
      <description>Paul Scharf, church ministries representative for The Friends of Israel Gospel Ministry, shares some personal thoughts regarding how he and his wife Lynnette came to this point of serving with FOI. Scharf discusses the importance of the influence of his grandfather—an early reader of "Israel My Glory"—as well as several other factors that the Lord used to encourage him on this path. We hope that you will find these personal insights to be helpful and encouraging in your own walk with the Lord. May they also strengthen your desire to be involved with the ministry of The Friends of Israel, as God may lead you. And may He bless you as you listen.</description>

      <title>Ordination and Commissioning of Paul Scharf</title>
      <link>https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pscharf/sermons/52202055391446</link>
      <description>Chris Katulka serves as the assistant to the director of North American Ministries for The Friends of Israel Gospel Ministry. He is also the host of "The Friends of Israel Today" radio program, a Bible teacher and a writer for "Israel My Glory" magazine. Katulka recorded this short video for the ordination and commissioning service of Paul Scharf, church ministries representative in the Midwest for FOIGM. It was shown in that service, which was held at Fellowship Baptist Church in Watertown, Wisconsin, on Feb. 3, 2019. Katulka draws on Leviticus 8, where Moses commissioned Aaron and his sons to serve as the priests of Israel—placing blood on the earlobe, the thumb of the right hand and the big toe of the right foot of each one. May the Lord use this video to encourage all who watch and listen, for His glory.</description>
