From everyone whose heart moves him you shall take up My contribution.' "The focus from this parasha about building the sanctuary is from Exodus 25:1-9. Ro’ehRichard asks the question “What are we gaining by building the sanctuary (which later became the temple)?” and “How will our actions affect the coming of Messiah?” Ro’eh Richard shows how giving our Terumah is actually giving to Messiah. Ro’eh Richard also shows us Terumah through Mussar (character building). “What will we glean inour character?” We see that the translation for Terumah is “contribution” or “donation,” but he dives deeper to show the meaning of the word and see the Messiah revealed here. An important KEY: Understanding that ALL the earth and the fullness of it belongs to the LORD (Psalm 24:1) If it all belongs to HIM how can we give HIM anything? Let’s see….This week our Haftorah teaching is delivered by Brother Mark from 1 Kings 5:12-6:13, and the New Covenant E-drash is delivered by Ro'ah Alpha from Hebrews 8:1-13.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.org
