Messiah Echad

We feel the rains of Your Love, and the winds of Your Spirit. Let it rain God, and open the floodgates of Heaven. This is what we did joyfully, during praise and worship. James spoke on Torah Portion Emor, Speak, Leviticus 21:1 – 24:23. Moses and Aaron were not to approach holy things, or the altar, if they had unresolved sin. Also, let us not forsake the Appointed Times, Holy Days on which we are to spend time with God. Praise reports included car accidents without a scratch, and we prayed for new jobs, as well as healings, before Rabbi Jonathan spoke about our fifth statement of faith. Entering heaven is about the Blood of Yeshua AND the following of His Commandments. The Jerusalem Council affords time to folks just learning the Law, because people will learn more than the initial four, in time, which need to be followed, but never placed secondary to tradition. Lastly, do enjoy Lynell’s after service teaching on baptism. And the slides are https://messiahechad.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/18-May-2019-Slides.pdf

Praise and worship included gratitude for that rugged cross, my salvation, where Yeshua’s love was poured out over us. The curse of sin has no hold on us because whom the Son sets free, is free indeed. Hallelujah. Jonathan M. spoke on Kedoshim, Leviticus 19:1 – 20:27. We are called to be holy, which includes avoiding idolatry, being benevolent, and respecting the possessions of others. We must also avoid hating our brother in our heart, and sexual immorality. And make sure to check out Sacred Marriage by Gary Thomas. Praise reports included teaching Christians about Torah, and we prayed for increased influence, before Rabbi Jonathan delivered his Mother’s Day message. While we honor and celebrate women, let us not worship women, or consider them equal to men, as God said otherwise. Also, never frown upon stay at home parents; they are doing the Lord’s work. Finally, know that women do positively influence our world. And the slides are https://messiahechad.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/11-May-2019-Slides.pdf

Rabbi Jonathan started by summarizing Acharei Mot, Leviticus 16:1 – 18:30, about holyness, consuming blood, and sexual immorality. One take was knowing our lanes, and staying in God’s call for our lives. Another was the need to avoid consuming blood, lest God turn His face against us. And every time your Pastor tells you the Law is done away with, ask him why God mentioned the statutes being forever. Praise reports included seamless job transitions, and we prayed against cancer, before Adam, spoke on lashon hara(evil tongue or derogatory speech) and the jezebel spirit. Your small tongue can say things that cause large impacts. So avoid gossip, and tame your tongue. Lastly, watch out for people with an obsessive passion to domineer, while being single mindedly determined to have their way. This is the spirit of jezebel, and can be found in men or women. See you next Shabbat, and keep counting that omer. And the slides are https://messiahechad.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/04-May-2019-Slides.pdf

There is no place I would rather be, than here in Your love God. Set a fire down in my soul, one that I can’t contain or control… I want more of you God. Thank you for the worship Gynell and Dianna! This week we again did not have an official Torah portion, but Adam spoke about Deuteronomy 14:22 – 16:17, and the “feet feasts”. Three times a year, all men were commanded to journey to the place God chooses… do you know which feasts these are, and do you journey to God’s dwelling place on those days? Praise reports included miraculously healed hips, and we prayed for other healings, before Rabbi Jonathan came up to talk about Near Death Experiences (NDEs). One thing in common with most all NDEs is the person awakening with an increased desire to love God, and love their neighbors more, even if they were not a believer before the NDE. So let us learn to love more, in Biblical and effective manners. And the slides are https://messiahechad.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/27-Apr-2019-Slides.pdf
