And now, here is a list of things you can do with your nose:

1.⁠ ⁠You can breathe in with it.

This week we followed the Hebrew word af (“nose”) through Scripture—from God breathing life into Adam, to anger and humility, all the way to Yeshua breathing the Ruach ha-Kodesh on His disciples, and even the long, long nose of God.

Come follow your nose and see where it goes. Listen here:

While we relate to our heavenly Father as someone who loves us, created us, and desires to bless us, He is also King. It is as a King that he calls us to battle, representing ourselves as witnesses of Him, possibly even to death, as were the martyrs of Revelation 6. If we die with Him, we will live with Him; if we suffer with Him, we will rule with Him. Check out this weeks sermon by elder Scott Moore "Avinu Malkeinu".

Three times in Scripture, people stand face-to-face with someone they should have recognized—but they didn't.

What blinded them? And what might be keeping us from recognizing the Messiah today? Join us as we journey from Isaac to Joseph to the road to Emmaus, discovering three common causes of spiritual blindness—and the gracious way Yeshua opens our eyes to recognize Him through the Scriptures, His presence, and the hope of the resurrection. Check out our lates sermon by Rabbi David " How to Recognize the Messiah".

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.
