"What is Tzara’at (biblical leprosy)? Ro’eh Richard explains in this week’s teaching what it is and the behaviors that cause it. Why don’t we have tzara’at in the present time like we did during the Biblical days - even though we are still behaving as badly as the people in the Israelites did in the days when the Bible was written? Ro’eh Richard challenged us to concentrate on speaking good things about one another – life into – and especially to avoid speaking maliciously. This mussar (character trait)this week is “shame.” Correctly used, shame acts as a barrier to impulsive sins.This week our Haftorah teaching is delivered by Ro'eh Richard from 2 Kings 7:3-20, and the New Covenant E-drash is delivered by Brother Mark from Mark 5:24-34.We hope and pray that you find blessing in our teachings. We ask that you please join us each week as we dig deep into scripture to learn more about the God of Israel, and reveal the Messiah throughout the Old Testament.Pastor Richard CortesThe Foundation of The Word Outreach Ministrieswww.thefoundationoftheword.orgPriestly "Aaronic" Blessing performed by Rico Cortes of Wisdom In Torah Ministries - https://wisdomintorah.com - and is used with permission.
