YOM SHLISHY – THIRD DAY OF THE WEEK
“Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.”
Blessed be He who spoke and the world was; Blessed be He – and blessed be His Name.
TEHILLAH 51
Be gracious to me, O Elohym, according to Your mercy; according to the greatness of Your compassion blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me. Against You, You only, I have sinned and done what is evil in Your sight, so that You are justified when You speak and blameless when You judge. Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin my mother conceived me. Behold, You desire truth in the innermost being, and in the hidden part You will make me know wisdom. Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Make me to hear joy and gladness, let the bones which You have broken rejoice. Hide Your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O Elohym, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me away from Your presence and do not take Your Ruach Haqodesh from me. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation and sustain me with a willing spirit. Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, and sinners will be converted to You. Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O Elohym, the Elohym of my salvation; thenmy tongue will joyfully sing of Your righteousness. Adonai, open my lips, that my mouth may declare Your praise. For You do not delight in sacrifice, otherwise I would give it; You are not pleased with burnt offering. The sacrifices of Elohym are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O Elohym, You will not despise. By Your grace do excellence to Zion; build the walls of Yerushalayim. Then You will delight in righteous sacrifices, in burnt offering and whole burnt offering; then young bulls will be offered on Your altar.
TEHILLAH 27
YHWH is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? YHWH is the defense of my life; whom shall I dread? When evildoers came upon me to devour my flesh, my adversaries and my enemies, they stumbled and fell. Though a host encamp against me, my heart will not fear; though war arise against me, in spite of this I shall be confident. One thing I have asked from YHWH, that I shall seek: that I may dwell in the house of YHWH all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of YHWH, and to meditate in His temple. For in the day of trouble He will conceal me in His tabernacle; in the secret place of His tent He will hide me; He will lift me up on a rock. And now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me, and I will offer in His tent sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to YHWH. Hear, YHWH, when I cry with my voice, and be gracious to me and answer me. When You said, “Seek My face,” my heart said to You, “Your face, YHWH, I shall seek.” Do not hide Your face from me, do not turn Your servant away in anger; You have been my help; do not abandon me nor forsake me, O Elohym of my salvation! For my father and my mother have forsaken me, but YHWH will take me up. Teach me Your way, YHWH, and lead me in a level path because of my foes. Do not deliver me over to the desire of my adversaries, for false witnesses have risen against me, and such as breathe out violence. I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the excellence of YHWH in the land of the living. Wait for YHWH; be strong and let your heart take courage; yes, wait for YHWH.
BEN ADAM
Son of man! Why do you slumber? Arise and call out in supplication; pour out words of prayer; seek forgiveness from the Master of masters. Wash and purify yourself; do not delay before the days depart, and hurriedly run for help before He who dwells on high. From transgression and also evil flee, and be dreadful of tragedy. O, please pay heed to those who know Your name – the loyal ones of Yisrael. For Yours, Adonay, is righteousness, and ours is nothing but shame.
Stand up like a man and be courageous, to confess your sins. Seek El Almighty in earnest to atone for your sins, for never are hidden secrets from Him. And every utterance that is spoken is read before Him. May He who is merciful have mercy upon us, as a father has mercy for his children. For Yours Adonay is righteousness and ours is nothing but shame.
VIDDUY
I make my sin known to You and do not conceal my iniquity; for I said that it is proper that I confess my transgressions to YHWH, and as a result, You have forgiven the iniquity of my sins. And it is stated: He who conceals his transgressions will not succeed, but he, who admits and forsakes them, shall be dealt with mercifully.
Please, YHWH, our Elohym, Elohym of our forefathers, let our prayer come before You, and do not hide Yourself from our supplication – for we are not so insolent nor so obstinate to say before You, YHWH, our Elohym, Elohym of our forefathers, “we are righteous and have not sinned,” rather, truly we have sinned – we as well as our forefathers and our household members:
(With each of the following statements, bring your right fist to your chest, over your heart.)
We have been guilty. We have betrayed. We have robbed. We have spoken gossip and slander. We have caused iniquity. We have caused wickedness. We have acted wantonly. We have extorted. We have accused falsely. We have given bad advice. We have lied. We have acted frivolously. We have rebelled. We have infuriated. We have committed adultery. We have been deviant. We have committed iniquity. We have transgressed willfully. We have oppressed. We have been obstinate. We have been wicked. We have corrupted ourselves and others. We have committed abominations. We have strayed and caused others to stray, and we have veered from Your excellent commandments and laws, but it has not benefited us. But You are righteous regarding all that has befallen us, for You have acted with truth, and it is we who have caused wickedness.
YHWH, DALU EYNAY LAMAROM
YHWH, my eyes are raised to the heavens. In my distress I call out to YHWH. My spirit was enveloped within me from my excessive anger and grief, and I poured out my soul before YHWH. Yah, hearken to my statement and perform for me a sign for excellence. Many have You performed, YHWH. I became destitute, and He saved me, El, righteous and a savior. For Your salvation I hope, YHWH. When my enemy rises up against me, my heart shall not fear, and I shall rely upon You, YHWH. My hand is raised through You, my Fortress, and not through my sword, for not through the sword and the spear does YHWH save. My enemies have prevailed, and above me they raise themselves. With regard to these will You be restrained, YHWH? Why do You conceal Your countenance while the enemy surrounds me? A zealous and vengeful El is YHWH. I place counsel in my soul, and I grieve within my heart. Will YHWH forsake me forever? For Your mercy I have hoped, because for You, YHWH, I have waited. You will answer me, YHWH, my Elohym.
EILEYKA YHWH
Toward You, YHWH, I have raised up my eyes; hear the sound of my pleas as befits Your great kindness. I have trusted in Your Name and have spread out my palms; I have taken words and have come unto You. My sorrows have been overpowering and my groans have increased, for all of my sins have You set before You. My delicate soul dissipates from grief; release from anxiety the soul of Your servant. Remove my sin, O Elohym of my salvation; also my tears may You place in Your flask. In times of anger, Your mercy may You recall and reconsider, and gladden and console the soul of Your servant.
Our Father, our King, You are our Father! Our Father, our King, we have no King but You! Our Father, our King, have mercy on us! Our Father, our King, be gracious to us and answer us, although we do not possess excellent deeds.
Deal with us with righteousness and kindness for the sake of Your great Name, and save us. And we know not what more to do, but our eyes look to You. Recall Your mercies and kindnesses, YHWH, for they have existed from ever. May Your kindness be upon us, YHWH, as we have hoped in You.
QADDISH
Exalted and sanctified be His great Name in the world that He created according to His will. May His kingdom reign, and may He cause His redemption to sprout, and may He hasten the coming of His Mashiach in your lifetime and in your days and in the lifetime of the entire house of Yisrael, speedily and very soon; and let us say: Amein!
May His great Name be blessed forever and to all eternity.
Blessed, lauded, esteemed, exalted, extolled, honored, upraised, and praised be the Name of the set-apart One; Blessed be He; above all the blessings, songs, praises and words of consolation that may be uttered in the world; and let us say: Amein!
May your prayers and pleas be accepted together with the prayers and pleas of the entire house of Yisrael before our Father in heaven and earth, in the name of Yehoshua HaMashiach; and let us say: Amein!
May there be abundant shalom from heaven, life, contentment, salvation, consolation, deliverance, healing, redemption, pardon, atonement, comfort and relief for us and for His entire nation Yisrael; and let us say: Amein!
HON TAHON
Be merciful to Your children who are returning to You, and who stand before You with trepidation, fearful of the time they will be called to judgment; it is for that reason that they come in distress. Recall compassion on the Day of Judgment; do away with anger and wrath at the time You will judge those who fear You and those who dwell on Your Name – they who are sitting in judgment. Bring near to me the year of the Redeemer, and redeem me; upon restful waters, O Elohym, lead me, and recall for me the merit of the perfect man, Yehoshua HaMashiach, and place me like a seal upon Your heart. Amein!

Welcome to our lifestyle.
Among the uncomfortable sayings of Messiah Yeshua (Jesus Christ), one of the most difficult is this:
Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. (John 15:13)
We philosophize over what Yeshua meant until we see it in action. It can be said that we all saw a man lay down his life for his friends when Charlie Kirk was violently taken from this world on September 10, 2025.
What does Charlie’s death mean? What can we learn from his life? Peter Wales of Brisbane, Australia, has thought much about that. In fact, he wrote a song about it – although he didn’t realize until after Charlie’s death that his song, “Strong and True,” speaks a message about Charlie’s legacy.
Like so many other songs Peter has written, this one was based on a famous poem: “If” by Rudyard Kipling. In this conversation, Peter shares the inspiration for the song, his thoughts on Charlie Kirk’s global impact, and what it means for Jesus followers across the spectrum of Christianity.
Be sure to listen to the entire program to hear “Strong and True” at the end.

BIBLE STUDY -- ELISHA’S MIRACLES
THE MIRACLE OF THE WIDOW’S OIL
From 2 Kings 4:1-17
One day the wife of a young prophet ran to Elisha with a serious problem. “My husband has died,” she said. “He was a man who loved YHVH, but he was in debt and now that I can’t pay back the money, the man who loaned it wants to take my two children as slaves.” “What can I do for you?” Elisha asked. “What do you have in your house?” “Nothing but a little jar of olive oil,” the widow answered. “Then borrow as many vessels as you can from your neighbours,” Elisha told her. “Take them into your house and shut the door behind you. Keep pouring oil from your jar into these vessels until they are all full.” The widow did as Elisha told her. After she had shut her door, she began pouring oil from her jar into the vessels. At last, the vessels were all full. “Bring me another one,” the widow said. “There isn’t another empty vessel in the house,” said her two sons. Then the oil stopped flowing from her jar to the vessels. The widow hurried to tell Elisha what had happened. “Take the olive oil and sell it,” he instructed. “You will have all the money you need to pay your debts and enough left for you and your sons to live on.” Elisha went from there to Shunem, where a wealthy woman and her husband invited him to eat with them. From that time on, whenever Elisha was in town, they asked him to come and eat with them. “I can see that this is a holy man of YHVH who visits us,” the woman said one day to her husband, “let’s make a room for him on the roof. We will furnish it with a bed, a table, a chair and a lamp, so he will have a nice place to stay whenever he comes here.” One time when Elisha and his servant Gehazi were resting in the room, the prophet told his servant to call the woman up to see him. When she came, Elisha spoke to her through Gehazi. “Tell her that she has gone to much trouble for us and that I would like to do something for her,” Elisha said. “Ask her if she would like me to say a good word for her to the king or the army commander.” “No,” the woman answered. “I have all I need.” “There must be something we can do for her,” Elisha insisted after the woman left. “Well, she has no son and her husband is quite old,” Gehazi told him. “Then tell her to come back here,” said Elisha. When she came back, Elisha told her, “Next year about this time you will have a son.” “Please don’t say that if it isn’t true,” the woman protested. But it was true, for the next year about that time the woman had a son. It happened just as Elisha had predicted.
COMMENTARY --- THE FAMILY OF THE SHUNAMMITE WOMAN
On the edge of the Jezreel Valley lay the small village of Shunem; a community that farmed in the fertile soil of the valley. A childless couple who lived in Shunem recognized that the prophet Elisha passed through their village frequently, and had no place to stay. They befriended Elisha, and often invited him to share their meals. After some time, the couple decided to build a rooftop chamber for Elisha, for they were wealthy and had no children on whom to spend their money. In gratitude Elisha offered to repay the woman for such consideration and hospitality. She refused, saying that she needed nothing. However, Elisha knew that she and her elderly husband had longed for a child, and he promised that their desire would come true. The next year the woman gave birth to a son and as he grew old enough, he began to work with his father in the fields. One day while working with the reapers the son fell ill. The workers carried him to the house, but by noon he died, lying in his mother’s lap. According to Israelite custom the woman should have begun grieving immediately, her wails announcing the death to the village. But the Shunammite woman remembered Elisha’s word, when long ago he had promised that her son would not be a false hope. She mounted the family donkey and set off with a servant to find Elisha. When the prophet discovered what had happened, he hurried to the woman’s house. Placing the dead boy on the bed of the upper chamber, he began to pray and stretched his body out over the boy’s body. Eventually the boy began to stir. He sneezed, opened his eyes; and was alive again.
THE FATHER
It was unusual for a farmer to grow wealthy from his labour; only those with large flocks and many hired hands could turn a profit from their land. The husband of the Shunammite woman was probably a landowner with many fields. An upper room was certain indication of his prosperity. Built on the flat rooftops, these small rooms provided a cool retreat from the summer sun. Private space was rare and most families slept together in a main room with little privacy. Every family longed for such luxury; a quiet place away from constant household activity. Even so, hospitality was a duty that the Israelites welcomed. There was always room for a guest. Building an upper room expressly for Elisha was a very gracious gesture of hospitality.
THE MOTHER
In an Israelite home the birth of children was an occasion of great joy. A wife with many children was an honour to her husband. Not only would the sons carry on the family name, but the children would also provide for their parents when they grew old. To be childless was more than a family misfortune; it was a disgrace. Many childless women lived in great shame, feeling that they had somehow failed. Barrenness was so great a dishonour that Israelite men could legally divorce their wives if they bore no sons. The childless woman from Shunem was well acquainted with these traditions. Elisha knew that a son would be the greatest gift she could receive.
THE SON
Israelite children took on responsibility and hard work at an early age. Looking after the sheep and goats was a common task of young boys. But the harvest season was a farmer’s busiest time, and every available hand; including the young boys; worked in the fields till the crops were in. Reapers had only small sickles with which to cut the stalks of wheat and barley. Working this way in the heat of the summer sun was tiring for adults, and even more exhausting for children. The son of the Shunammite couple probably collapsed from sun stroke; perhaps brought on by hours of work in his father’s fields.
Among the uncomfortable sayings of Messiah Yeshua (Jesus Christ), one of the most difficult is this:
Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. (John 15:13)
We philosophize over what Yeshua meant until we see it in action. It can be said that we all saw a man lay down his life for his friends when Charlie Kirk was violently taken from this world on September 10, 2025.
