Shabbat Oct 26th, 2024 (5785) DO YOU WANT TO SEE GOD?

Shabbat Shalom!

Well, the Fall Feasts are over but the taste of the sweetness of these special times still remains! The Lord certainly filled our gatherings with His Presence and, even in the busyness of the season, we sensed His closeness and re-committed ourselves to His purposes in the upcoming season. Thank you to all who participated and helped in making it a very wonderful and meaningful time! Even so, I am glad that we will be gathering back at The Dwelling Place tomorrow to celebrate the Shabbat! Our address is 16800 W.9th Ave Golden, 80401 and we will be meeting at 11am! I will be sharing a message in our series on the Awe of God about BEING INTENTIONAL IN OUR PURSUIT OF HOLINESS!  As we are coming into this new year 5785, we are faced with daily decisions and choices about how we are to live our lives, and what changes we are going to make. The Lord has had me meditating on the short but powerful verse in the “Torah from the Mount”, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God” (Mt.5:8). It all starts in that place that is the seat of all my emotions, intentions, thoughts and behaviors, the heart! Come on out tomorrow and celebrate Shabbat with the Mishpacha! WE WILL HAVE A POTLUCK ONEG FOLLOWING THE SERVICE, SO BRING A DISH TO SHARE AND STAY FOR FELLOWSHIP!

With the elections coming up in just over a week, Millie and I want to encourage all of you to exercise your responsibility as citizens to vote! I will not tell you WHO to vote for, but I will encourage you HOW to vote. Much is at stake this year, and we can find fault in every candidate but vote with godly values at the forefront. For me, there are some “Non-Negotiables”: voting for the person who is more pro-life; voting for the one who believes in the sanctity of marriage between a man and a woman; voting for the candidate who is the most supportive of Israel. These are some of the issues that I make my decisions on who to vote for, knowing full well that every candidate is flawed and has character issues that may bother me. I urge you to pray and research the issues and find out where the candidates stand closest to the things that God is concerned with! PLEASE, EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO VOTE! Do you realize that over 32 million Believers who attend services on a weekly basis don’t vote? Let’s not be one of these!
