Shabbat 9/5/2020
/Shabbat Shalom!
A couple of days of fresh air, mountain peaks, beautiful weather, smaller quaint mountain towns and no news it was quite refreshing for our souls…we got home and decided to catch up on what was happening in the world! Unlike what the mainstream media would want me to believe, I believe God has all things under control! There has been a massive shift that has taken place over the last 8-9 months, a quickening of events that has awakened the ‘Elect’ to a greater level of trust in His purposes and also greater hunger to know His ways of righteousness. Yes, there is a virus that has ravished nations and a global economic shutdown that has decimated businesses and eliminated jobs. This has caused the faithful to press into His Word and be reminded of ‘end times’ prophesy to help keep our bearings, not lose heart and be bolder in our witness to others. This Shabbat, September 5th, during our morning service, Brian Sanders will be sharing about “THE RETURN”, an event that I believe can be a turning point for this nation that will be happening at the end of this month. We are in a spiritual war where abdication or surrender is not an option, but as the ‘Sons of Issachar’, we need to know how to interpret the signs and times so that we know what to do!
On Friday September 18th at 6:30pm, we will celebrate Yom Teruah (Rosh HaShana) and enter into the 10 Days of Awe leading up to Yom Kippur. We are looking forward to an awesome combined service with Gateway On Mount Zion, where we will sound the shofar in expectation of His Presence and His triumphant return! As we enter into year 5781, We will hear (Shema) what God is saying and prepare our hearts and lives for the new season ahead of us. This service, as all of our services, are open to everyone and we encourage you to invite others to hear about these “Feasts of The Lord” and understand that they are for today! On Saturday afternoon Sept 19th after Shabbat Service there will be a Holy Convocation in Pine with food and shofar blowing hiking etc (see photo below)
We will also be having special services for Yom Kippur and Succoth that we will be sharing about. There is no better way to take stock of our lives and keep our focus on Kingdom business during this 'year unlike any other year', than to celebrate these appointed times and worship His greatness as a community! Millie and I pray that you have a joyous and fun Labor Day holiday and are excited about walking into this upcoming season together with you!
Blessings and Shabbat Shalom!
Stewart and Millie
