Restoring the Broken Heart by Rabbi David Levitt

shemayisrael@frontiernet.net (CSY) — Mon, 24 Apr 2023 21:07:00 -0400

The broken heart...

What is it? How does it happen? What are the effects? Can it be healed? AND DO I HAVE ONE? In looking back at my own journey and hearing the journeys of thousands of others, I have come to the conclusion that many people are indeed dealing with a broken heart day in and day out and don't even know it. How can so many be dealing with the effects of a broken heart and not even know it? Well, I don't think I have the complete answer, but I do think I know a big component.

We Are Saved by Hope - Rabbi David Levitt

shemayisrael@frontiernet.net (CSY) — Wed, 12 Apr 2023 15:47:00 -0400

As believers in Yeshua, we know our great hope is not founded on anything in this life, but in the first resurrection to come for all those that have repented and put their trust in Yeshua for the forgiveness of sins and the gift of eternal life. But we still struggle... We struggle with life circumstances and situations, we are still subjected to the curse of sin through Adam, and one may wonder what this hope we have for the future is able to do for us now. Join Rabbi David Levitt as he breaks down some key Scriptures written by Paul that explain how to keep the hope of the resurrection at the forefront of all we do, and how this hope will give us the ability to rise above present sufferings and trials and bring newness and healing to our bodies and relationships.

The Matzah of Sincerity and Truth by Rabbi David Levitt

shemayisrael@frontiernet.net (CSY) — Mon, 3 Apr 2023 21:33:00 -0400

Sometimes obeying the Word of G-d goes beyond personal obedience and requires congregational obedience. G-d wants our congregations to be a place of safety and truth. When there are threats to the safety of the flock we need to turn to the Word of G-d for instruction to continue keeping our congregations safe. Before the Passover, Paul gives us some specific instructions in regards to cleaning our congregations from leaven. Because a little leaven leaves the whole lump. Join David as he explores this topic on April 1, 2023, the 10th day of Nissan 5783.
