God is Really For Us
We often miss the hand of God at work in our lives in normal events, but in moments when we see the puzzle fitting together, we know God is really for us.
We Live by Faith
Moses knew he was destined for greatness but saw that hope dashed. His hope was reborn, but he had to persevere in faith to overcome.
We were made for something extraordinary. And God sets us free that we may become what he has purposed from the beginning.
The Covenant Keeping God
The Name of God implies His unchanging nature and His faithfulness to keep His word. He acts in accordance with His name and keeps His covenant.
Greater and Lesser Commandments
Yeshua demonstrates the method for determining what is a greater commandment and what is a lesser commandment in Matthew 12. Far from abolishing a commandment, He upholds all of the commandments and shows that compassion is foundational to Torah.
Unity in Diversity
The body of Messiah is made up of many parts, each part unique in its identity and calling, yet unified in purpose. Each member of the body is to walk in unity, with love and respect, serving one another just as Yeshua modeled that love to us.
Keys to Reconciliation
Repentance and forgiveness are critical to the coming of Yeshua at the end of the age, just as they were in the reconciliation between Joseph and his brothers.
Fear of the Lord
At this time of Hanukkah, which is a remembrance of the rededication of the Temple, let us renew and rededicate our hearts to our God and King, that we may shine as lights in the world!
Taken Low to Go High
Joseph was brought low so that he might receive the promotion God intended for him – that he would be raised up as a savior for Israel.
A New Name and a New Chapter
Jacob was given a new name just before he was brought back to the Promised Land. So too, new believers in Yeshua receive a new name and a new identity.
Our Hope – God is With Us
Our hope is rooted in the truth of who God is, and who we are in Him. When we face a crisis with confidence in Him, He brings wholeness on the other side.
