Moses' Warning To The American Church

Parshat Lech Lecha: In Luke's Gospel, Yeshua challenges His followers to a radical form of love: loving our enemies. But before He shares this profound teaching, He begins with a powerful phrase, "To those who are listening..."

Parshat Noach: The blessing of Japheth is found in dwelling within the tents of Shem, marking the first instance of Gentiles being grafted into Israel. It requires courage to step out of your comfort zone and choose to dwell in another's tent, where the blessing resides.

Parshat Beresheet: If Eden was so perfect, then why did it need to be cultivated and worked? This is the reality of the Kingdom of God. We are placed in His paradise, but we co-labor with Him to perfect it.

On Yom Kippur, the Day Of Atonement, there is really only one message that matters - that Yeshua came and died for our sins, so we can have true, eternal atonement.

Yeshua and the Apostles consistently tell us to be ready for the Day Of The Lord, so it does not overtake us like a thief. What does it mean to be ready? Yeshua's parables and other scriptures give us insight.

We often want to forget our troubled pasts. But God is able to extract gold from our past and use it to build His Kingdom.

We are an outcomes-based society. We always look for the empirical results of our work efforts. But God does not call us to effect outcomes. He simply calls us to obedience. The outcomes belong to Him.

This sermon warns the American church to remember God as the source of its blessings and to guard against the spiritual apathy that prosperity can breed.

The destruction of Jerusalem Temple certainly didn't come without prophetic warning. But amidst the devastation, another prophecy emerged: To build, plant, and prosper, within the city you are exiled to.

Forgiveness is something that is easy to say without truly meaning it, but hard to genuinely do in our hearts. However, there is a key to achieving true forgiveness and experiencing the freedom that comes with it. That key is Yeshua, who lives within you. When Yeshua forgives through you, the forgiveness is complete and transformative.
