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.…
Meeting the King
Last week at Shabbat school we learned about how Israel wanted a king so that they could be like everyone else. This coming week we will see when ADONAI shows Samuel who will be the king
Faces of the Kingdom: Rahab
Rahab was a Canaanite, an outsider, a woman with a reputation in a city marked for destruction, and somehow she became the great-great-grandmother of King David, an ancestor of Messiah Yeshua Himself. She is remembered for her courage and her faith, but the story that shaped her legacy wasn’t a battle or a miracle like other Biblical characters that we hear about… Let’s…
Wanting a King like Everyone Else
This last Shabbat we resumed our study of 1 Samuel with a lesson about how ADONAI defeated the Philistines and Samuel set up a rock to remind the Children of Israel. Next Shabbat we will learn about how Israel rejected ADONAI as king.
Trusting in the LORD
Last week in Shabbat School we had a special lesson about Simchat Torah—Joy of the Torah. This week we will be returning to our stories from the book of First Samuel as we follow along with the Sermons in the Shabbat Services.
Rejoicing in the Word Made Flesh
Last week our Shabbat School lesson was about the Feast of Sukkot. This coming Shabbat we will learn all about Sh’mini Atzeret and Simchat Torah.
Faces of the Kingdom: David
Few names in Scripture carry as much weight as David’s — the shepherd boy turned giant-slayer, a fugitive turned king, and the ancestor through whom Messiah Himself would come. He’s one of the most well-known figures in the Bible, remembered for his courage, his worship, and his covenant with God. However, the story that arguably shaped his legacy most…
Faces of the Kingdom: Jeremiah
Today we meet a prophet who was broken, rejected, and battered by the very people he was sent to serve, and yet he never stopped speaking. He was a man whose life reads less like a triumphant hero’s journey and more like a preview of the suffering Messiah who would come centuries after him…What does it look like to be chosen for something costly before you ever had…
Celebrating the LORD’s Feasts
Last Shabbat we learned all about how the LORD showed the Philistines that He was the One True G-d after they had taken the Ark of the Covenant. Next shabbat we start some special Shabbat School Lessons for the Holy Days because next Shabbat is Rosh Hashanah.
Meeting the One True G-d
This week in Shabbat school we learned about how the Israelites made a big mistake and the Ark of the Covenant was captured by the Philistines. Next week we will see how ADONAI showed the Philistines that He was the one True G-d
Faces of the Kingdom: Deborah
What does it look like to hold real power, and yet deny all the credit and give it to the One who truly deserves it all?… Deborah was a prophetess, a judge, and the military voice of an entire nation, and yet, in the very moment she’s handed the plan for victory, the first thing out of her mouth is a warning that none of the glory will belong to the man…
