This week's portion covers Exodus/Shemot 18:1-20:26 and begins, “And Yithro, the priest of Miḏyan, Mosheh’s father-in-law, heard of all that Elohim had done for Mosheh and for Yisra’ĕl His people, that Hashem had brought Yisra’ĕl out of Mitsrayim." This week Pastor Cortes teaches us that Yitro (Jethro) converted to the Jewish before he gave him the advice to share the load with other righteous leaders of the assembly in order to ease the burden that Moshe had taken onto himself, and which would lead to a further peace with the people. Pastor Richard describes what characteristics a person would need to be a leader within the faith and the responsibilities those leaders have. He also warns us to beware of a rebellious attitude (in ourselves and our associates) toward leaders and God. This week our Haftorah teaching is delivered by Brother Mark from Isaiah 6:1-7:14 and the New Covenant E-drash is delivered by Ro'ah Alpha from 1 Timothy 3:1-14.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
