Send us a textIt is hard to fight against someone you can't see. In the medical world, many people used to not recover from heart attacks because they were not able to recognize what was happening until it was too late. Today doctors know certain symptoms that are warning signs that have helped to save many lives .Spiritually, it can be the same. The enemy comes against us but we don't recognize what is going on. We blame the economy, our friends or family, the government, or our employer because we don't recognize the spiritual attack we are under. Rabbi Michael and I look around and we see the enemy roaring in so many of your lives and in the kehilah.“Life is a hard fight, a struggle, a wrestling with the principle of evil, hand to hand, foot to foot. Every inch of the way is disputed.” (Florence Nightingale) In the first of this two part message, we explore the who are enemy is and the reality that we are superconquerors given every weapon we need to secure the victory.

Send us a textWhen we think of portfolios, we think of investment. Our goal with this short series is to get you thinking of your eternal investments. One of the best ways you can insure that you are making wise investments is to become a partner with G-d. D.L. Moody said, “If G-d is your partner, make you plans big.” However, I want us to look at the other side of it - If we are G-d’s partners, what is He getting from us or looking for in a partner.

Send us a textshared in my message that it was a year of release and a year of favor. Adonai has encouraged us personally and as a congregation that the best is yet to come. Yet, for some it may seem that things have gotten worse. What is happening? The enemy is rearing his head because he does not want you and I to walk in the release and favor that Adonai has for us. When all hell breaks out against us, we need to experience a break through similar to that of David and the Israelites. How can we do that?

Send us a textToday we want to talk about faith that sees. It is faith with 20/20 vision. There are two things this verse speaks to us. Let’s think of the context of this verse. Moshe was in Egypt. He was raised by the Pharaoh’s daughter after being saved by his mother’s faith in placing him in a basket in the Nile River so he would not be killed by the Pharaoh. When he became an adult, he turned away from the palace of Pharaoh, fled to Midian after killing an Egyptian who was beating another Jewish man, returned with a mandate from Adonai to lead around 2 million Jewish people out of Egypt by confronting a king who was defiant to the existence and mandate of the G-d of Israel. Moshe made it through these difficult and challenging situations by focusing on the unseen which, in turn, allowed him to persevere.

Send us a textFaith that is not tested is not real faith. Adonai will use various means to test us. His desire is to help us through each one as we learn to put our hope and trust in Him.

Send us a textLiving Faith is a Faith that Speaks. This message seeks to answer these two questions: What does faith say? To whom or what does faith speak.

Send us a textAdonai calls us to do things that sometimes are out of our comfort zone, but it requires simple faith from us. Today's message focuses on Real World Faith - Faith that affects us in our every day life. It is so easy for our faith to be diminished in our day to day living. We need to cultivate our faith as we walk through life.

Send us a textMaybe you are experiencing financial difficulties, perhaps it was a bad report from the doctor. Maybe your relationships are strained. Perhaps you feel beaten and broken by all that life has thrown your way recently. Maybe you feel like you just cannot continue to fight the battle that you are facing. It is so easy at moments like these to feel abandoned and forgotten. Our emotions rise up and overpower our faith and the truth of Adonai’s Word. Like Israel we can cry out in our spirits, Where are you G-d? When will you show up? Have you forgotten us? Are you ignoring my pain? Can’t you see? Don’t you hear my prayers? In moments like these Adonai speaks a simple but powerful message - You are not forgotten
