In the series "Gaza: Beyond the Headlines & Into the Bible," we take a profound journey through scripture to explore the multifaceted significance of Gaza—a place often mentioned in modern news but seldom studied in its biblical context. This devotional series offers a compelling exploration, starting from Genesis, where Gaza was first identified as a border city in Canaanite territory. It takes us through the turbulent conquests by the Israelite tribe of Judah and dives into the intriguing stories of Samson's entanglement and capture in the city.

The series further examines Gaza's complex relationship with Israel, spotlighting it as one of the Philistine cities that sends a guilt offering during the Ark of the Covenant episode and its eventual defeat by King Hezekiah. With themes of judgment running throughout the Old Testament, we learn that Gaza will drink from the cup of God's wrath and is foreseen to face desolation and humiliation in prophecies.

However, the series also introduces a glimmer of redemption, culminating in the New Testament. Gaza’s road becomes a setting for divine intervention and conversion.

Packed with reflection questions, actionable takeaways, and prayers, this series illuminates Gaza's intricate history and enduring relevance in God's divine plan, providing invaluable lessons for understanding the world today and enriching our own spiritual walks.
