#Shabbat shalom! We are back from Sukkot today at 1pm central. The zoom link is on the home page. We're starting the Torah portion cycle this year. This is the first one so Gen. 1:1–6:8 Isa. 42:5–43:10 Jn. 1:1–17 is what we'll be discussing. See you then! https://firstcenturychristianity.net/
Deuteronomy 7;5, “Instead, this is what you are to do to them: tear down their altars, smash their sacred pillars, cut down their Asherah poles, and burn their idols in the fire.” The image of this is the physical destruction of idols, but those things can be replaced. Now consider the destruction of their traditions and legends and replacing them with what the Creator has to offer…
Thought for Today: Shabbat October 22:
Paul looked forward to death with great anticipation. He said: [For me, to live is Moshiach and to die is gain] – Philippians 1:21. Death for him was not an enemy to be feared, but a reality to be welcomed, in Elohiym’s time. For him, death was the joyous gateway to new life – eternity in heaven. Without the resurrection of Moshiach, there could be no hope for the future. The Bible promise that someday we are going to stand face-to-face with the resurrected Redeemer. All our questions will be answered, and all our sorrows and fears will vanish.
