Shavuot 2022 - Israel Takes the Hard Road
The many parallels between the stories of Abraham and Ruth illustrate a truth that is consistent throughout Scripture: God's people, whether native or grafted in, will face trials. Faithfulness to God frequently requires choosing to be insecure today for the sake of the ultimate security of God's sure promises. The easy path is usually the wrong one.

Here's an inspiring article for the week ahead of us, written by a sister here within the TTN family! Is there a way that we can expand our "comfort zones" this week, as an assembly whose desire is to love Elohim and love our neighbors as ourselves? started a conversation about it, so give it a read through and let's continue the conversation! Shalom, brothers and sisters
The first reference to healing in the Bible is in Genesis 20:17, “So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare children.” The reason this was necessary is found in the next verse — “ For the LORD had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham's wife.” Abraham’s intercession for the house of Abimelech describes to us many things. One is that for them to realize they were not having children would have taken more than the overnight dream we so often think about in this lesson. Another important point is that it is the Creator who cursed or weakened the people so they were not able to have children and this was done because of Sarah. This could have been due to what was being said to and about her not having children or for other reasons but it was Him who caused the lack of reproduction and it was the same Creator who answered Abrahams prayer. This curse and healing is as much about the attitude of the people as it is the physical inability to have children.
