GRACE
WHAT ARE SOME ASPECTS OF YHVH’s GRACE?
ELOHIM’s GRACE IS OUR ONLY HOPE! But in Your great Compassion, You did not make an end of them, nor forsake them, for You are an El of Favour and Compassion -- Nehemiah 9:31. Yisrael was devastated by times of intense rebellion and sin. Yet when the people repented and returned to Elohim, He delivered them. YHVH puts no limit on the number of times we can come to Him to obtain mercy, but we must come in order to obtain it, recognizing our need and asking Him for help. This miracle of Grace should inspire us to say, -- What a Gracious and Merciful Elohim You are! -- If there is a recurring problem or difficulty in your life, continue to pray ask Elohim for help and be willing and ready to make changes in your attitude and behavior that will correct that situation.
YHVH’s GRACE MAKES OUR SALVATION POSSIBLE.
In Whom we have redemtion through His Blood, the forgiveness of trespasses according to the riches of His Favour, which He has lavished on us in all wisdom and insight -- Ephesians 1:7-8. Grace is Elohim’s voluntary and loving favour given to those He saves. We can’t earn salvation, nor do we deserve it. No religious, intellectual or moral effort can gain it, because it comes only from Elohim’s Mercy and Love. Without Elohim’s Grace, no person can be saved. To receive it, we must acknowledge that we cannot save our self, that only Elohim can save us and that our only way to receive this Loving Favour is by faith in Moshiach.
YHVH's GRACE SHOULD LEAD US TO SERVE OTHERS WITH LOVE.
We become believers through Elohim’s unmerited Grace, not as the result of any effort, ability, intelligent choice or act of service on our part. However, out of gratitude for this Free Gift, we will seek to help and serve others with kindness, charity and goodness and not merely to please ourself. While no action or work we do can help us obtain salvation, Elohim’s intention is that our salvation will result in Works of Service. We are saved, not merely for our own benefit, but to serve Him and build up the church (Ephesians 4:12).
YHVH’s GRACE LEAVES NO ROOM FOR SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS.
Or do you dispise the riches of His Kindness and Tolerance and Patience, not knowing that the Kindness of Elohim leads you to repentance? -- Romans 2:4. When Paul’s letter was read in the Roman church, no doubt many heads nodded as he condemned idol worshipers, homosexual practices and violent people. But what surprise his listeners must have felt when he turned on them and said, -- You are just as bad! -- Paul was emphatically stressing that nobody is good enough to save himself or herself. If we want to avoid punishment and live eternally with Moshiach, all of us, whether we have been murderers and molesters or whether we have been honest, hardworking, solid citizens, must depend totally on Elohim’s grace. Paul is not discussing whether some sins are worse than others. Any sin is enough to cause us to depend on Yeshua Moshiach for salvation and eternal life. We have all sinned repeatedly and there is no way apart from Moshiach to be saved from sin’s consequences.
We’re getting ready to add fresh layers and future meat to the homestead. We like to maximize the usefulness of everything around here, and our birds are no different. Eventually, our breeding stock will provide eggs and meat by producing offspring. We eat the boys and refresh the layers every year with the girls. We’re adding DUCKS: Swedish, Cayuga & Welch Harlequin; and CHICKENS: Blue & Splash Ameracauna, Lavender Orpington, and Salmon Faverolle.

Link to teaching -
Continuing in the book of 1 John, Rabbi Steve Berkson begins this teaching in chapter 5 where John tells us that belief in Messiah Yeshua and all that carries with it does not come from us, but that belief or knowledge and relationship has been birthed in us from above.
In verses 2 and 3 Rabbi Berkson points out that, again, love is connected to Torah Observance and that the commandments of Yahweh are not heavy or burdensome.
In verse 4 John calls us who believe, overcomers. Having been born of Elohim and given the ability to have a relationship with Messiah Yeshua we overcome the world through that belief. Rabbi Berkson clarifies what overcoming the world looks like – we see things and respond to challenges in our lives differently than the way the world does.
Moving on, Rabbi Berkson takes us to the Gospel of John, same writer, different book, to link what we learned from 1 John with what is being conveyed in the gospel writing. Yeshua speaks metaphorically of the relationship we have with Him and the Father by using vines and branches and a gardener who takes care of the whole thing.
Rabbi Berkson once again dissects these passages so that you will have a deeper understanding of what Yah expects of you, so that you can do it and receive the blessings.

According to Matthew 4:23-25, Yeshua began his ministry in the Galilee, teaching and healing in the towns where he grew up. Although people from Galilee, Judea, and the Decapolis all followed him, it was only in Syria that his fame spread in those early days. Why Syria? The answer lies in the geography, politics, and culture of the region, but especially in human nature.
