Shabbat 18, 2023

/

Shabbat Shalom!

We have been watching events taking place at Asbury University as well as other places and we are praying for a mighty awakening for this nation! I would ask that all of you diligently cry out to Father that many souls will be saved, bodies healed and families restored at this time. I know that many of you may question these “outbreaks” and wonder if it really is from God, or just another weird phenomenon to be ignored or even to judged negatively because of past experience. From what I am hearing, the foundation of this revival is REPENTANCE! This is what this country needs today, so let’s agree for His purposes to be manifested at this time!

This Shabbat February 18th we will again be meeting at The Dwelling Place at 11am. The address is 16800 W. 9th Ave. Golden, 80401. We will be exploring WHAT IS THE KEHILAH, with a message about PROTECTING AND EMPOWERING OUR WORDS! We live in a such a corrupt world that has developed its own language that is contrary to the ways and the words of God, that we need to cultivate our Kingdom language to defeat our giants! WE WILL HAVE AN ONEG FOLLOWING THE SERVICE, SO COME ON OUT AND ENJOY FELLOWSHIP WITH THE MISHPACHA!

Remember, Joshua Aaron will be having a night of ministry on Sunday February 26th at 6:30pm! It will take place at The Rock Church, 4881 Cherokee Dr. Castle Rock, 80109. We sense this will be a significant event for this region so come on out to this free concert and invite your family and friends! Please RSVP at joshuaaaron.tv and we will take a love offering for Joshua’s ministry that evening!

Also, many have asked how they can give through our different donation methods…You can go to our Or Chaim Congregation website https://www.or-chaim.com  and at MENU, go to GIVING AND TITHING and simply click the DONATE button and follow the prompts. Or you can text ‘orchaim’ to (833) 877-2788.  You may always send checks to 23696 Pondview Place, Golden, Co. 80401. 

Blessings and Shabbat Shalom!

Shabbat Shalom!

What an incredible week! We have been blessed as we have been invited to be part of the ‘CONVERGE’ conference in Castle Rock. Congregations and ministries from all over the front range gathering together as one, worshipping and learning from King Yeshua, being encouraged and challenged by people like Heidi Baker and Leif Hetland. We have been honored to lead communion every day, representing the Messianic remnant doing our part to see the One New Man become a reality in this region! So many “nuggets” that we have been chewing on and committing to apply to our lives and ministry. What would happen in our Congregations and communities if we treated people “not based on their history but according to their destiny?” I think the result would be revival!

I am excited about this Shabbat February 11th as we meet at the Dwelling Place! The address is 16800 W. 9th. Ave, Golden, 80401 and we are meeting at 11am. The Lord has given me a message on the POWER OF OUR WORDS! You see, God has created us, in His image, to bless and to represent who He is to a fallen world. We have the ability to HEAL or to HURT with our words! Unfortunately, too many of us have been wounded and sidetracked from our destinies in Him because of messages and labels spoken over us, and we have probably done the same to others. But, our God never gives up on us and always brings hope and releases healing! Come on out and worship with us! WE WILL BE HAVING A POTLUCK ONEG FOLLOWING THE SERVICE, SO BRING A DISH AND STAY FOR FELLOWSHIP!

Remember, Joshua Aaron will be having a night of ministry on Sunday February 26th at 6:30pm! It will take place at The Rock Church, 4881 Cherokee Dr. Castle Rock, 80109.

Shabbat Shalom!

Well, the good news is the frigid temperatures that were hovering at or below zero are a memory of the past! The snow is actually beginning to melt up here, so I have put my heavy parka away for a while. We are also excited about the spiritual season we are in, as I sense that the Body of Messiah is hearing and heeding the voice of Adonai and bringing hope and healing to a dark world. No, I am not talking about what I read in the media headlines or the latest thread on Twitter (we are not on that platform!), I am hearing testimonies of real people touching other real people with the good news of the Kingdom and lives are being transformed!

This Shabbat February 4th we will be welcoming our dear friend Jeremy Jacobs to Or Chaim! Jeremy and his wife Rachel have established and served in Houses of Prayer throughout the US. They have trained and sent young people to some of the most unreached regions of the world. He has a love for the Jewish people that is contagious and speaks out boldly about the rise of anti-semitism to the Church. He and his wife currently live in Colorado Springs with their 5 children. This will be an awesome service, so come on out and enjoy Shabbat with the Mishpacha! THERE WILL BE AN ONEG FOLLOWING THE SERVICE, SO BRING A DISH AND STAY FOR FELLOWSHIP! Of course we will be meeting at The Dwelling Place, 16800 W. 9th Ave. Golden, 80401 and the service starts at 11am.

Remember, Joshua Aaron will be coming to The Rock Church on Sunday February 26th at 6:30pm for a night of ministry! It is a free concert but it is important to RSVP at joshuaaaron.tv so that we know how many folks will be attending. There will be a love offering taken that evening for Joshua’s powerful ministry! Reserve your spot here: https://www.joshuaaaron.tv/event-details/worship-night-with-joshua-aaron-castle-rock-co IT IS A FREE CONCERT!

Shabbat Jan21/2023

/

Shalom Mishpacha!As most of you know, we live in the foothills and tend to get more snow than those who are in the “lowlands”. Yesterday we received close to a foot and it was a great day to work at home and watch the snow fall, sitting by my fire and thanking the Lord for the beauty of this place! As I’m preparing for this Shabbat January 21st, I sensed that we are to continue on the subject of WHAT IS THE KEHILA (CHURCH, EKKLESIA), AND HOW ARE WE TO LIVE?, in light of the Scriptures we used last week. However, I would like for us as a Congregation to Midrash (discuss) these important Scriptures together, Deut.30:15-20 and Mt.16:13-19. Please take some time over the next day and read these scriptures and let’s be prepared to discuss what WE are to look like, and how are WE to live, especially in these dark days. Of course, we are not limited to these Scriptures but these can be a starting point. We as a leadership feel it is important and helpful to hear from you what we as a body should look like and how we are to represent our King Yeshua to the world around us. Believe me, as a teacher I love to teach, and the Scripture is clear that we are to be not just “hearers”, but also “doers” of the word (James 1:22), and we can bless others with our ideas of how to reach our communities. This should be fun!We will be meeting at the Dwelling Place, 16800 W. 9th Ave, Golden 80401 at 11am. Yes, we will be having a potluck Oneg following the service, so bring a dish to share and stay for fellowship! Also, the annual Men’s Advance will be held on Friday February 3rd through Saturday the 4th. Our speaker will be Chuck Stecker, a well known encourager of men, and it will be held at the beautiful Hideaway Retreat Center in the Black Forest. The cost is only $150 for great lodging and meals! Contact Lee Cooperman if you are interested in coming.

Also, many have asked how they can give through our different donation methods…You can go to our Or Chaim Congregation website https://www.or-chaim.com  and at MENU, go to GIVING AND TITHING and simply click the DONATE button and follow the prompts.

Shalom Mishpacha!

Millie and I are back in Colorado after our month-long sabbatical! First of all, a big thank you to all of you for giving us this gift to take a time of refreshing and renewing as we were able to visit family and friends and just enjoy some time off to reconnect with each other and the Lord! We so look forward to seeing you for the first Shabbat of 2023 on January 7th! Im not a person who makes New Year resolutions that are broken within a few days or weeks of making them, but I do believe Father has given us direction and some perspective for the upcoming year. This Shabbat I will be sharing some of this, especially some things God has been speaking to me from Psalm 23. We will share The Lord’s Supper during our service. We will be meeting at The Dwelling Place, 16800 W. 9th Ave. Golden, 80401 at 11am. We will NOT be having a potluck Oneg following the service due to other events being held at the Dwelling Place!

Sunday January 8th the men will be having their monthly meeting at Tom Westendorf’s house, 1029 S. Bonnie Ln. Watkins, 80137 at 10am! These are great times of encouragement and fellowship so come on out and spend a few hours together! Also, bring food and let Tom know you will be coming by calling (303)667-4257. Our annual Men’s Advance will be Friday 2/3 till Saturday 2/4 at the Hideaway Retreat Center in the Black Forest! Cost is only $150 which includes great meals and lodging, so contact Lee Cooperman for more information. Also, ladies, the Colorado Messianic Aglow Lighthouse will be having their monthly gathering from 3pm till 6pm at The Dwelling Place in Golden on Sunday January 8th.Please bring a vegetarian snack to share and invite others to join you!

SEE YOU IN THE NEW YOU! HAPPY HOLIDAYS! YOU ARE LOVED!

Happy Thanksgiving

/

Happy Thanksgiving To You All!This morning as I write my weekly update, I am just overwhelmed with thanksgiving to my Lord and King Yeshua! Also, some nostalgia and a bit of sadness came as I remembered past gatherings of family and friends who are now gone, and how we were thankful just to have them in our lives. Millie and I want to encourage you all to take the time over this wonderful holiday to bless each other and be thankful and to forgive past offenses, overlook personality quirks or political and theological differences, and say out loud how thankful you are that they are in your life! I love the words of the Psalmist, “Come let’s sing to Adonai! Let’s shout for joy to the Rock of our salvation! LET’S COME INTO HIS PRESENCE WITH THANKSGIVING; LET’S SHOUT FOR JOY TO HIM WITH SONGS OF PRAISE!” This Shabbat November 23rd we will be meeting of course at The Dwelling Place, 16800 W. 9th Ave, Golden 80401 at 11am. I will be sharing a message about how even in the midst of the present evil in this world, God is more than able to bring life in the Ruach out of old dry bones (no, Im not talking about old people, but situations that we thought were impossible or long dead!). From a historical perspective (and Biblical also), revivals have come in times of strife, despair and chaos. We want to encourage all of you to come on out and worship with us, as the Scripture is clear, “And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good deeds. And do not neglect our own meetings, as is the habit of some, BUT ENCOURAGE ONE ANOTHER — AND ALL THE MORE AS YOU SEE THE DAY APPROACHING (Hebrews 10:24-25). We will have a potluck Oneg following the service, so bring a dish to share and stay to enjoy fellowship with the Mishpacha!As I shared in our last update, Millie and I are taking a much needed short sabbatical for the month of December, so this will be our last shabbat together for a little while. Our leadership team will be leading our gatherings in our absence, so I want to share with you the plans through the end of the year. Of course as I mentioned we will have our regularly scheduled service this Shabbat. -Shabbat 12/3: The Dwelling Place is not available, so we will be having Shabbat gatherings at two locations! The home of David and Laura Aronstein, 7220 Box Canyon Rd. Sedalia, 80135. Also at the home of Russ and Siri Crider, 22493 Maplewood Ln. Aurora, 80015. BOTH WILL BEGIN AT 11AM!-Shabbat 12/10 and 12/17: Our gatherings will be at The Dwelling Place and the Crider’s, so ask Father where you are to worship for the day! At both locations there will be wonderful praise and worship and sharing from the Torah, and great Midrash about the Scripture. There will also be fellowship and food!-Shabbat 12/24 and 12/31; Because many of our leadership will be out of town, at this time we have no services scheduled, but stay tuned!On Saturday December 10th, Or Chaim Congregation will be participating in an outreach/festival with a Russian church in Wheatridge at 3pm! All are invited and encouraged to attend! Here is the contact information for our elders if you have questions or emergencies arise while we are away: Tom and Mary Westendorf (720-231-8505); Russ and Siri Crider (303-859-1250); David and Laura Aronstein (316-821-5723). MILLIE AND I WILL BE LEAVING ON DECEMBER 1st AND WILL RETURN ON JANUARY 3rd!

Shabbat November 19th, 2022

Shalom,

As we celebrate Thanksgiving next week, we as a leadership want to say how thankful we are for you! For many, the last few years has been challenging (to say the least!) and the ‘family’ has become more important to us all. As we gather with our families this next week, take time to thank our faithful God and Father for the blessings He has poured on us!

This Shabbat November 19th we will be meeting at The Dwelling Place in Golden at 11am. The address is 16800 W. 9th Ave. Golden, 80401. We will be welcoming Tzofia Rogers as our special guest. Tzofia and her husband Avi live in Florida and have an incredible ministry of training and equipping others in prophetic ministry. She is a gifted teacher, counselor and conference speaker with a heart to “get the body moving” and prepared for the Lords return! She is ordained with Tikkun International. She will be joined by her daughter in law Hallel who will be leading worship. She will also be at the Women’s retreat this weekend. THERE WILL BE NO ONEG FOLLOWING THE SERVICE!

Millie and I will be taking a needed short sabbatical in December. Our incredible leadership team will be leading our services for the month. We will be sending out a complete schedule of our services and special activities in December as well as the locations soon. For now, I will just let you know that Shabbat December 3rd The Dwelling Place will not be available. However, Or Chaim will be meeting at two locations at 11am in different parts of the city! Elders Russ and Siri Crider will be hosting a fellowship at their home, 22493 Maplewood Ln. Aurora, 80015. Elders David and Laura Aronstein will be hosting a fellowship at their home, 7220 Box Canyon Rd. Sedalia, 80135. You know, with how things are developing  in the world, meeting in homes may be something we will be doing more! We will be having worship, sharing from the Word and great fellowship at both of these locations! 

Here is the contact information for our elders if you have questions or emergencies arise while we are away: Tom and Mary Westendorf (720-231-8505); Russ and Siri Crider (303-859-1250); David and Laura Aronstein (316-821-5723).

Shabbat Nov 12, 2022

Shalom!

Honestly, the only “red wave” that will make a lasting difference is the "Red Wave" of Yeshua’s Blood washing over all of us! I try not to put a whole lot of importance in what media pundits predict but I do put my trust in what the prophets of old say and what they prophesy about the times that we are living in today. We need to put our faith in the One who proclaims in the Book of Revelation, “The Ruach and the bride say, ‘Come!' And let the one who hears say, ‘Come!’ Let the one who is thirsty come —let the one who wishes freely take the water of life!” Our King is still on the throne no matter what happens in our world today! 

This Shabbat November 12th, I will be sharing a timely message on how we go from a place of dry bones to being empowered by the Holy Spirit. Awakenings and moves of God don’t usually happen in times of great enlightenment or increased morality or prosperity, but in times of great need and moral decline. Of course we will be meeting at The Dwelling Place in Golden at 11am, so bring a dish to share after the service and stay for fellowship! Several of the folks in our Mishpacha have been battling with various illnesses so please lift them up in prayer so that they would be strengthened and healed by the precious blood of the Lamb!

This Sunday eveningNovember 13th there will be an important prayer event: COLORADO AWAKE! It will be at THE ROCK CHURCH from 6:30-8:30pm. The purpose of this gathering is SEEKING OUR FATHER FOR HIS GLORY AND AWAKENING IN OUR STATE, NATION AND BEYOND. We will hear various praise reports from around the state and nation as well as having spirit-led prayer and worship with brothers and sisters from various cultures and denominations. All are welcome to this event!

Next Shabbat November 19thwe will be having a special guest speaker, Tsofia Rogers along with her daughter-in-law Hallel who will be leading worship, ministering with us. The ladies will be having their Retreat starting that evening and going through Monday the 21st with Tsofia and Hallel at The Hideaway in the Black Forest. This will be a very special time of impartation and growing in intimacy!

Also, many have asked how they can give through our different donation methods…You can go to our Or Chaim Congregation website https://www.or-chaim.com  and at MENU, go to GIVING AND TITHING and simply click the DONATE button and follow the prompts.

Shabbat Nov 5, 2022

/

Shalom!

Recently I was led to read several chapters in the Book of Acts. Especially in chapters 4 and 5, we see an on-fire body of believers, bold and unafraid in their witness, yet at the same time The Holy One is bringing judgement to the body (Ananais and Sapphira). Signs and wonders were happening in the midst of persecution and threats and the last verse of chapter 5 says, “And everyday, in the temple and from house to house, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming YESHUA AS THE MESSIAH. I sense that this is a day when God wants to restore that exciting and God centered time from 2000 years ago except in a greater way! If He really is the same yesterday and today, I say why not!

This Shabbat November 5th we will be meeting at the Dwelling Place in Golden at 11am.The Lord has given me an important message to share looking at three major “giants” on the world scene today and how we are to see these challenges and respond in Kingdom ways. WE WILL HAVE A POTLUCK ONEG FOLLOWING THE SERVICE, SO BRING A DISH TO SHARE AND STAY FOR THE FELLOWSHIP! At 4pm that afternoon join with us and others from around the State as we take Communion at the east steps of the State Capitol! This is the Shabbat before the elections and we sense that we are to declare righteousness and justice at this place of government. All are invited! Don’t forget to move your clocks forward on Saturday night before you go to bed!

On Sunday November 6th at 10am the men will be having their monthly gathering! All men are invited to this event as we encourage one another and enjoy fellowship with each other. We will be meeting at our home, 23696 Pondview Pl. Golden 80401, Building 6. Please bring a dish to share and remember, we are guys and we like to eat!

Ladies, you are not left out! You will be having your retreat on November 19th-21st at The Hideaway in the Black Forrest. The special speaker will be Tzofia Rogers, one of our Tikkun leaders, who will also be with our Shabbat service on the morning of the 19th. Contact Millie for more details.

Also, many have asked how they can give through our different donation methods…You can go to our Or Chaim Congregation website https://www.or-chaim.com  and at MENU, go to GIVING AND TITHING and simply click the DONATE button and follow the prompts. Or you can text ‘orchaim’ to (833) 877-2788.  You may always send checks to 23696 Pondview Place, Golden, Co. 80401.

Shabbat Shalom!

Well, the first snow of Autumn came yesterday and we had about 4-5 inches here in the Foothills! It was beautiful and now most is gone, and the warm temps are back again! I love this time of the year, as we are seeing the last of the leaves fall from the Aspens and the elk and deer are chowing down before winter arrives. As we have shared, the Feast season this year was extraordinary and we believe that some very significant Kingdom things have taken place and will be manifested very soon. Something has shifted as far as unity and the fulfillment of Yeshua’s prayer of John 17 for the body here in the Front Range, as evil agendas are exposed and the necessity for congregations, ministries and movements working together become evident. Our heart to see the Church embrace their call to “provoke to jealousy” the Jewish people is happening, so let’s continue to work to see this move forward. Also, we see the ugly scourge of anti-semitism rising too, as we witness “celebrities” and political and even religious voices speaking openly about the Jews and Israel in disparaging ways. God is moving, so let’s see what He is doing and join with His work!

This Shabbat October 29th at 11am we will again be meeting at The Dwelling Place for our service! The address is 16800 W.9th Ave, Golden 80401. We will again be looking at the war that God is waging for our nation. Have we 'shaken our fist’ in His face to the point where He is done with us? Come on out and let’s see what God says! THERE WILL BE NO ONEG FOLLOWING THE SERVICE THIS WEEK!

Here are some upcoming events to be aware of: on Saturday November 5th at 4pm, many of us will be gathering on the east steps of the State Capitol to take Communion!

Shabbat 10/22/2022

/

Shalom Family!

What an incredible season we have been in! The sound of the shofar literally brought many of us into a time of encounter, deep repentance, consecration and a manifestation of joy, some haven’t felt in years! The Fall feasts have completed, but our prayer is that the “taste” and the “fragrance” of what was experienced will last for a lifetime. Adonai is summoning all of us to an elevated place, where our focus and, yes our obsession, is only to worship and obey our King, and see His Kingdom advanced in these dark days! We are in a time where “come as your and leave the same” is not an option, but only being yielded to His transformative power in the Ruach (Spirit) and walking in a new level of holiness and righteousness is what will be acceptable. God is moving, are we moving with Him?

This Shabbat October 22nd we will be having our regular (hopefully not normal!) service at The Dwelling Place at 11am! The address is 16800 W. 9th Ave. Golden, 80401. I believe that Father has given a message to me about HIS war to save this nation. Not only do we have individual and corporate anointings and callings, I believe He has a unique call and anointing over our nation that is at risk right now. We are on the cusp of either a great breakout in revival or Spiritual annihilation! I don’t see myself as an alarmist, but as someone who loves what God’s Word says and also understands when we are at a time of spiritual re-alignment, where wisdom and life choices will determine our destiny as a nation built on God’s principles. This is an important message, come on out and let’s enjoy Shabbat together! We will be blessed as Paul Myrant will be leading worship with us during the service! WE WILL HAVE A POTLUCK ONEG FOLLOWING THE SERVICE, SO BRING A DISH TO SHARE (BIBLICALLY APPROPRIATE, OF COURSE!) AND STAY FOR SOME WONDERFUL FELLOWSHIP!

Because the weather is getting colder and Gateway on Mt. Zion Church is not ready to begin renovations as they are in the midst of getting necessary permits, we will be meeting at The Dwelling Place until further notice. Stephanie Schureman, the director of that ministry, has been such a blessing to us during this transitional time! Please keep her and Bill Ress in your prayer as they have been so generous and loving toward Or Chaim! Also, we are in the planning stages of a time of Communion with others at the State Capitol on Saturday November 5th at 4pm. The Body of Messiah in the region will come together, as One New Man, and proclaim that Yeshua is Lord over our city and our nation! It will be the weekend before the elections so we believe it will be significant!

Also, many have asked how they can give through our different donation methods…You can go to our Or Chaim Congregation website https://www.or-chaim.com  and at MENU, go to GIVING AND TITHING and simply click the DONATE button and follow the prompts.
