Hillsong in Israel

Have you ever gone to a worship concert in a 2000+ year old amphitheater?


Well, now I can say that I have. In Caesarea there is an amphitheater that was used by Herod and Pontius Pilot. Behind the amphitheater, now mostly covered in water, was the palace where the apostle Paul was likely held for 2 years before being sent on to Rome.


It was honestly one of the most surreal experiences. I was sitting in rebuilt Roman ruins listening to a modern worship concert by Hillsong United. The amphitheater was full of people from around the world, native speakers of many different languages, all singing together.

It was surreal and beautiful.
