Shabbat Nov 23, 2024

Shabbat Shalom!

Many years ago during our Discipleship Training School, one of our instructors said “God is always speaking to us, the problem is are we listening?” That question has stayed with me all these years. It put me on a journey that I am still on today because I have discovered that on this journey of life, having a genuine and authentic relationship with the God of creation requires listening and obeying (“Shema”)! Yeshua declares in John 14:21 that “…He who loves Me will be loved by My Father AND I WILL LOVE HIM AND REVEAL MYSELF TO HIM.” As we pursue this journey into holiness, we discover that it is not a “trivial pursuit” (a game I loved to play because I love trivia!), but one where the more we know our God, and the more I desire Him, the more I will tremble at His awesome Presence! In the crazy world we are living in today, I find that the only anchor that will keep me sane is my relationship with The One who is always faithful and gracious and will never disappoint me! His Word and his Presence is what we need today!

Come on out and celebrate with the Mishpacha this Shabbat, November 23rd! We are meeting at The Dwelling Place, 16800 W.9th Ave Golden 80401 at 11am. I will be continuing our theme on the Awe of God with a very important message entitled Do We Tremble At God’s Word? As I look at my bookcase in my office, I realize that I probably have every version that has ever been printed in the last 50 years! But, if it just stays in my bookcase collecting dust, what good is the word of God to me? Or, if I just use my bibles to prepare a message to bring to someone else, Is the Word transforming me? The scriptures talk about “trembling” at His word, and that is what we want to explore this week! WE WILL HAVE A POTLUCK ONEG FOLLOWING THE SERVICE, SO PLEASE BRING A DISH AND STAY FOR THE FELLOWSHIP! Some have asked if we are planning on having our regular Shabbat service next Saturday, November 30th, because it is Thanksgiving weekend. At this point, depending on the weather we are planning on meeting on the 30th!
