Are you looking for a community that puts the Bible above doctrine? Who follow and teach Bible things in Bible ways? Who walk in the understanding that all the law and the prophets hang on (or are classified under) the two greatest commands and are not done away by them? Who want to show Yahveh’s love through evangelism, locally and beyond?
Then join us this sabbath as we do just that!
Friday at 7pm: Music, Prayer, and Impromptu Bible Studies

And we’re back with a portion preview this week!
Our Torah portion this week continues the story of the patriarchs. It begins with the end of Sarah’s life, and we read the account of Abraham buying land within Canaan for a burial site for her. He then sends his the oldest servant of his house back to the land of his relatives to find a wife for Isaac. After a long trip, he meets Rebecca at a well, and she goes above and beyond im her care for this stranger, fulfilling exactly what the servant asks of Yahveh. The servant shares his connection with the family and offers an engagement to Rebecca. Rebecca accepts and agrees to not delay in traveling to Abraham and Isaac. Rebecca becomes the next matriarch of this heritage and comforts Isaac after the death of his mother. We finish with the passing of Abraham, his burial by Isaac and Ishmael, and the genealogy of Ishmael.
Our haftarah portion recounts the end of King David’s life. And before David’s death, his son, Adonijah, sets himself up as king. Nathan and Bathsheba work together to bring the news to David, also reminding David of his word that Bathsheba’s son, Solomon, would rein after him. David confirms before them both that Solomon would carry the reign after David’s death.
Matthew records the genealogy of Messiah Abraham to David, David to the exile, and the exile on, each section having fourteen generations? What do you think is significant about the inclusion of fourteen here? Or fourteen, fourteen, and fourteen?
And finally, Paul writes to the Corinthians in this first letter regarding the incorruption that will inherit the kingdom of Yah. And then will come to pass that which had been written, “Death has been swallowed up in victory. Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?” (NIV) With thanks only due to Yahveh who gives us victory through His Son Yahshua! Praaaaaaaise Yah!
