This week Elder Eric shares his testimony of God's faithfulness in his life with loosing his wife and the hope we have in the Lord.

What do a seder in Senegal, a table in Jerusalem, and a heavenly banquet have in common?

This Shabbat HaGadol, Rabbi David shared a message called The Four Questions and the Four Seders—a journey through Passover meals that call us to remember, to reach out, and to respond to Yeshua’s invitation. Come prepare your heart for the season of redemption.

Question 1: Would you give someone a birthday cake that you took a huge piece out of? Probably not. Rather, you’d give them a cake that was “tamim.” Question 2: What did Noah, Abraham, and Job all have in common? They were all described by the Hebrew word, “Tamim” meaning whole-hearted, complete, or blameless. Question 3: How can we be more “tamim”? To find out, check out this week’s sermon podcast here:

Have you been searching for a bunch of Nissan puns, many different versions of the birthday song, and a brand new Birthday New Year Anniversary celebration all in one sermon? Then listen to this past weeks sermon from Rabbi David.

Could we with ink the ocean fill, and were the skies of parchment made; were ev’ry stalk on earth a quill, and ev’ryone a scribe by trade; to write the love of God above would drain the ocean dry; nor could the scroll contain the whole, though stretched from sky to sky.

This week we heard from our visiting speaker, Michael Templeton from MAPS Global. His encouraging message was to be rooted in the deep, unending love of God.

Are you ready? Is that what you’re gonna wear? This week we see how God has clothed His people throughout Scripture. From the garments of skin given to Adam and Eve in Genesis, to the veil Moses wore after encountering God on Mount Sinai, to Esther’s royal robes, each piece of clothing symbolizes a deeper calling and identity in God. So, consider what we are wearing--not just physical clothing but putting on the attributes of Messiah, the righteousness of Messiah, and the power of the Holy Spirit to live out our priestly roles in the world.

The historical faith and these historical events don’t depend on us, for our inheritance does not decay, spoil, or fade away; it is kept safe for us in heaven. We did nothing to receive this living hope. But having received, it is now our duty and privilege to trust and act faithfully. It’s not something we earned; it’s something we owe.

In the wake of unimaginable personal loss, Haratio Spafford wrote the well known hymn: "It Is Well with My Soul.” Spafford's story, marked by grief and tragedy, invites us to explore how we can find shalom amidst life's deepest sorrows. Drawing on Scripture, including the rabbinic idea of God’s Shekinah (abiding presence), we discover two enduring truths that enable us to say, “It is well with my soul.” First, God is with us, holding our hand through our pain. And second, He is making all things right. To learn more, check out…
