Cleaning the House, Pt 1

So it’s time to clean the house…. No, not just because it is spring— which it is—but because Pesach, or Passover, is fast approaching. The day of Passover is immediately followed by the Feast of Unleavened Bread, a time rich in significance for us in Messiah. So, yes, we concentrate on the spiritual significance of the search for and removal of “leaven” from our homes.…

Trusting the LORD

Last week in our Shabbat School, we learned about how Adonai provided for B’nei Yisrael in the wilderness with manna and with water. Adonai still provides for us today! Next Shabbat we will talk about trusting Adonai even if it seems scary!

Faces of the Kingdom: Joshua

Have you ever been in a room where everyone around you had already made up their mind about something, but you knew they were wrong? Today we’ll meet a man who found himself in exactly that position. Twelve men had just returned from one of the most important reconnaissance missions in Israel’s history. They had walked through the land God had promised to give…

Knowing G-d wants to Bless Us

Last week at Shabbat School, we learned all about the feast of Shavuot and how it teaches us about the Holy Spirit. This week, we’re excited to explore how G‑d’s blessings bring love, protection, and peace through Yeshua. Through the Aaronic Blessing, we will discover that G‑d deeply cares for us, watches over us with kindness, and gently shines His peace into our…

In the Wilderness

This past week in Shabbat School, we learned about being fair and unfair to others and how when we are fair to others, we are showing that we trust ADONAI. Next week, we begin the book of Bamidbar or Numbers.

Has there ever been a time where you can not imagine that you will get the one thing that you so desperately long for…even if God has promised it to you? Something that seems to be so unattainable that you laugh, maybe not even on purpose or out loud, at the idea of it actually happening… Sarah’s story is one of the most human moments in all of Scripture — the story…

Faces of the Kingdom: Daniel

What would you do if faithfulness to God became illegal? There was an old man, who had no army, no political protection, and no way out… and he was facing a law specifically designed to destroy him. But how did he respond to this dire situation? In a truly ordinary but at the same time, quite remarkable, way… Who was Daniel? In Hebrew, Daniyel (דָנִיֵּאל) means “God is my…

Taking Away Our Sins

In Shabbat School this last week we learned about how important being grateful is from the story of Yeshua healing ten lepers. Only one of the lepers was grateful enough to return to Yeshua and thank him. This coming Shabbat, we continue with the Torah portion that explains Yom Kippur and we learn about removing our sins.

Faces of the Kingdom: Gideon

Welcome back to our “Faces of the Kingdom” series! Today, we’re getting to know a man that you might not already know that well—a man who was hiding in a winepress when God called him a mighty warrior and brought before him a very important mission… Picture this: a man is crouched in a hole in the ground, secretly beating wheat so that his enemies won’t…
