On Shabbat Nachamu, the Sabbath of Comfort following the Fast of Tammuz and Tisha B’Av, we are seeking peace in our homes, a peace that will bring comfort and renewal to our family of families at Tikvat Israel.  Marriages can become tumultuous, but peace is worth fighting for.  Especially, men are responsible for assuring that there is a successful marriage (to the extent he is able) through love, and women are responsible to respect their husbands.

Why is Bashan?

It's a strange question—but it leads to one of the Bible's most surprising connections.

This week we'll journey from King Og and the giants of Bashan... to Psalm 22... to Yeshua's words on the tree... to the "gates of Sheol" at Caesarea Philippi.

The forces of darkness thought they had won. But they were wrong.

Join us as we discover why the Kingdom of God is on the offensive—and what it means to put on the armor of God today.

Paul wrote, “The weapons of our warfare are not fleshly, but they are mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments, and taking every thought captive to the obedience of the Messiah.”

This describes the tactics, but our strategic objective is to bring the Kingdom of God near through close devotion to and our proximity to Yeshua through his Spirit.  When we learn to exercise ourselves to learn warfare, nothing can separate us from the love of Messiah.

What do two goats, two brothers, and two men named Yeshua have in common?

Burial, betrayal, and brokenness. Join us as we listen to Eitan Shishkoff's sermon on Mark 14. May you be blessed and encouraged through the hearing of God's Word as we reflect on Yeshua's faithfulness and His journey to the cross.

May got bless you as you listen to this sermon by Elder Scott Moore on the problem with sin. 

What’s in your pockets?

A phone? Wallet? Keys?

What else are you carrying?

Fear? Worry? Unrealized dreams?

This week: open hands, Abraham, and the surprising power of surrender.
