Shabbat Shalom!
I love Shabbat! I mean I really love Shabbat! Not just because it is commanded to observe, or because it is expected of me as a Congregational leader in a Messianic Jewish congregation, but because I want to enjoy and love what God loves! It is a Day and an attitude of rest where God says He will bless me if I choose to observe and remember! This week I sense from Father that we are to celebrate and enjoy Shabbat together and He has given me a message that will hopefully encourage and bring greater revelation and understanding of this special day. It doesn’t matter what you are going through or what the last three months of uncertainty and pain has brought, we have many reasons to rest, celebrate and thank our Father and worship our King Yeshua!

We are in the Biblical season of Counting the Omer, where we are anticipating and looking forward to a fruitful harvest and a fresh outpouring of His grace and goodness because our God has set cycles of life into His calendar in order to BLESS. Do we have an expectation of good things from the Father in due time, or are we going through the motions, wishing things will change but living like a victim in the mean time? Everything in my being is telling me that the “new wineskin” season we are in now will be a time of increased kingdom activity, release of specific callings and gifts and re-alignment of all of our priorities to be in “sync” with His purposes on earth. Over the last 2-3 months, many of us have been crying out to God for more of Him and at the same time, getting rid of the hindrances that keep us from being who He has called us to be! We are desperate for the “new wine” of His Spirit to fill us and launch us to be HIS KINGDOM AMBASSADORS FROM THE FRONT RANGE INTO WHATEVER AND WHEREVER HE CALLS US!

Remember, next Shabbat, May 30th, The Rabbi’s Son Bill Bullock will be with us all day as we celebrate Shavuot (Pentecost)! He is a good friend of Or Chaim and always brings an inspiring, passionate and loving message right from the Father’s heart to us! He will be with us in the morning service and will also be sharing after a lunch break in the afternoon. We are looking at the possibility of everyone bringing a picnic lunch and, weather permitting, meet outside at the picnic tables. Invite your friends as this will be a special time of impartation, and also the Aronsteins will be blessing us with an anointed telling of the book of Ruth in dance! Bill will be sharing at Castlewood Canyon Church in Franktown on Sunday, May 31st at 10am.
Remember, we want to keep in mind the guidelines we have laid out over the last weeks for meeting together. We so look forward to seeing you!
Blessings and Shabbat Shalom,
Stewart and Millie
