Invited to Lament

There are so many voices around us. This week Pastor Chris Goldman reminds us that the voice of the Good Shepherd is the voice that God's people need to hear, project and protect.https://restoration.subspla.sh/8zsj445

Two mountains frame many encounters in the Bible: Mt. Sinai and Mt. Zion. Yeshua is even greater and more awe-inspiring than mountains, and he invites us to celebrate with him.https://restoration.subspla.sh/28b9jft

God's love is so great that he doesn't leave us as he finds us. He transforms us.

James tells us how powerful our words can be both for building up and tearing down. We can grow in our maturity by learning how to control our tongues.https://restoration.subspla.sh/2ypgwkv

This week, we start the Torah reading cycle again at Genesis 1:1. God was at the beginning and created the process, but when the process feels broken, are you able to still trust Him?https://restoration.subspla.sh/vm6pd74

The 8th Day of Sukkot is also known as the Last and Greatest Day. This is a rebroadcast from 2025.https://restoration.subspla.sh/mk2h4r9

Some seasons you show up with a full heart. Others you show up empty, carrying grief you can't put down, wondering how you're supposed to feel joy when everything hurts.This week we walked the fifteen songs the ancient pilgrims sang on the long, hard climb up to Jerusalem for Sukkot — and found that joy isn't a feeling you wait for. It's something you do, even in the dark, because the God who met every pilgrim on that road came all the way down to be with you, right where you are.Watch “Joy & Sukkot” on The Restoration App, Facebook, & YouTube or here: https://tinyurl.com/2s4xmet4#thehappyrabbi #restorationseattle #JewishinSeattle

Ever been shown a kindness you knew you hadn't earned—and not known what to do with it? Most of us are quicker to want mercy for ourselves and justice for everyone else. We hold our love back until people deserve it, and we let it run out the moment things get hard.This week we walk through the story of Naomi and Ruth—two grieving widows on a long road home—to discover what it means to receive a loyal love that never quits, and then become the kind of people whose love doesn't quit either. Come find out why turning back toward God is the first step from famine to fullness.Watch “Return to God” on The Restoration App, Facebook, & YouTube or here: https://tinyurl.com/4npux2m5#thehappyrabbi #restorationseattle #JewishinSeattle

When life falls apart, most of us do one of two things — we run, or we grit our teeth and wait for it to be over. We white-knuckle through the season we're in and hope God shows up with a sign to prove He's still there. But what if the thing that feels like it's swallowing you isn't the end of your story?For Rosh Hashanah, Matt reopens the story of Jonah — the parts the children's books skip — and finds a strange, hopeful pattern buried in the Hebrew: the place that looks like a grave can become the place you're born new. Honest about his own hardest years, he offers a word for anyone stuck in a season that feels like death, and a way to turn that isn't running.Watch “The Sign of Jonah” on The Restoration App, Facebook, & YouTube or here: https://tinyurl.com/5xvzu9t9#thehappyrabbi #restorationseattle #JewishinSeattle
