May 15, 2025 Whatsa Manna For You?
The Omer is a reminder that there is enough when we put God first, when we
encounter God in the now and trust the soon and then to him.

May 07, 2025 The Cup of Intimacy
It is vital for our hearts to focus on redemption, salvation, and
deliverance. But in order to maintain those spiritual graces in our life,
we must fully drink from the Cup of Intimacy.

April 30, 2025 Advancing in Holiness as We Count the Omer
As believers in Messiah Yeshua we are part of the holy priesthood. That
means we should walk in holiness because he is holy. But the Bible does not
expressly define holiness—how should we interpret it?

April 22, 2025 Do What Counts
We all prepare for the big moments in life. As children, we prepare for the
first day of school, for vacation, for play dates. As we grow, we prepare
for school, sports, tests, and graduation. We prepare for jobs, college,
trade school, and adulthood in general. Our spiritual lives are a lot like
that.

April 17, 2025 Personal Renewal in the Spirit
It’s never been more true: Yeshua has something we need, whether we are
resisting him or have followed him a long distance over many years. Our
hearts yearn to be spiritually renewed.

April 09, 2025 A Season of Anticipation is About to Begin
The culmination of the story we commemorate each Passover isn’t our
departure from Egypt, but the encounter with the Eternal One fifty days
later. To emphasize this, the Torah commands us to begin counting the Omer,
or sheaf of firstfruits, during Passover.

The understanding Moses gained after first hearing and then responding to
the call, Vayikra, can be experienced by any of us who decide to accept the
invitation to draw near to God.

March 26, 2025 The Oil of Joy
As the Tabernacle was anointed with the sacred oil, may we walk in the
daily anointing of God’s Spirit by loving God and one another, by giving
joyfully, and by reflecting the humility of Messiah in all that we do.

March 20, 2025 Masterpiece in the Desert
Though he saw a vision of the holy ark, Moshe was not called to build it.
This parasha gives us insight into the artistic genius of Israel gifted by
God for that purpose: Bezalel, and his equally creative partner in the
work, Oholiab.

March 13, 2025 “Please, Show Me Your Glory!”
Like Moses, we all want God’s glory. We want to see Him in action. We can
all look back at different times of our lives and see how God manifested
His presence to us in defined ways. Can I say that I am truly addicted to
God’s movement in my life? Yes!
