Sermons by Brant B. (Page 7)
Stop the Voices!
Brant taught about the need to choose which voices we listen to–the positive ones or the negative ones. We need to focus on listening to G-d and not allow ourselves to be distracted by negative influences. He encouraged us to examine our own words to ensure that we’re speaking words that encourage and bring light.
Repentance is a Life of Change
In this week’s message, Brant teaches us that we’re called to repentance and that repentance means a life of change, restoration, and reconciliation for us.
Forgiveness Means Letting Go
As we enter the month of Elul, Brant taught about the importance of reconciliation in the forty days leading up to Yom Kippur and the centrality of forgiveness and reconciliation to community life. Yeshua taught that we need to forgive one another in order to be forgiven by the Father (Mark 11.25, Matthew 6.14-15).
Service, the Greatest Thing
In this week’s message, Brant exhorts us all (strongly) to find ways to serve in our community—serving being the highest calling as modeled by Yeshua. We also explored the tie between Romans 11, Ruth and the unique role Messianic Gentiles play within the Messianic Jewish movement.
Straining the Eye and Missing the Whale
Journeys in the Wilderness
Pursue G-d, Not Control
In this week’s message, Brant highlighted the foolishness of Balak in letting his unfounded fear of Israel control his actions. To avoid repeating Balak’s mistake, we need to pursue G-d and follow His direction, not the illusion of control.
Finding Friends in the Wilderness
In this week’s message, Brant taught about the importance of being good company and pursuing good company if we’re going to find godly friends in the wilderness.
Find Balance in the Wilderness
By the Wilderness
This week, Brant kicked off a new sermon series, “By the Wilderness”, that coincides with the start of Number, or Bamidar, in the Torah reading cycle. In this week’s message, Brant explored the roles the wilderness plays in the Bible and how they related to Messiah.
