Ablaze KL Table Talks

It's the last episode of the SHEMA series! In this episode, we take a short look at the topic of Me'od and what it means to love God with our "strength". We reflect on what we have learned over the past 12 weeks, as well as some crucial lessons we can apply in our life. Be sure to stay to the end for something special!

Soul, in ancient Hebrew terms, is translated as Nephesh. It doesn't refer to a spirit within humans that is released at death, but rather, our entire physical existence. In this episode of Table Talks, we have Min Yi on the podcast to talk about being burnt out in serving and how that can reveal something about character and is also opportunity to check ourselves.

Lev, or Levav is the Hebrew word for heart. A representation for thoughts, desires, emotions, and motivations, the heart in an Israelite context is far more than just an organ. In this episode, we have Joel Yam on the podcast to talk about what loving God from the heart really looks like for him, and how getting to that point was not easy.

In this third episode of Ablaze Table Talks, the topic of ahavah, or God's love is discussed. Is our view on love distorted? Does loving someone just mean doing something that they like? Our guest for this episode is Brian Tee. In this episode, we'll hear him talk about events in which God's love was shown in ways unexpected and painful, but nonetheless sovereign.

Continuing on the topic of the Shema, in this episode, the second most important word in it YHWH will be discussed! When we say Jesus is our LORD, what does that actually mean? It means to carry our cross. Obeying God and what he says in his word is what we are called to do when we way Jesus is our LORD. In this episode, special guest Ian will give some real life examples as to how he carried his own cross in his life.

The Shema is a prayer prayed by ancient Israelites three times daily. It's name comes from the first word in the prayer which is "Shema". We dig into what shema means in this episode and give some real life examples of how people hear but don't Shema.
