"Faithful Expectations" 06/16/2011
Our Sabbath lesson dealt with Faith as taught by the Messiah in the Scriptures and I was so blessed & encouraged by this teaching. I really appreciated the insights concerning the Scripture about 1.Not Laying up Treasures on Earth, (Matthew 6:19) and 2.Seeking the Kingdom of Elohim first (Luke 12:31) This is the link to the teaching for those who want a boost of faith building, (approx 90min): http://www.ustream.tv/channel/shabbat-study-fellowship#utm_campaign=www.facebook.com&utm_source=2918955&utm_medium=social  This lesson also reminds me of a little family game we did in Louisiana. Basically, you 1. Write down some thought-provoking faith based questions on little cards. 2.Put them in a jar 3.Occasionally have one of your children take out a card to read. 4.Discuss as a family. This really opens up good dialogue about our Faith.... "But set apart יהוה Elohim in your hearts, and always be ready to give an answer to everyone asking you a reason concerning the expectation that is in you, with meekness and fear" (1Kefa/1Peter 3:15) For those interested in this family activity, I have listed some starters for discussion which is entitled "FAITHFUL EXPECTATIONS" It can be found under resources on http://exploringhebrew.weebly.com/ Also, you will notice there is a blank page for you to add your own questions. Here's a quick link to this pdf file: http://exploringhebrew.weebly.com/uploads/3/6/1/0/3610819/faithful_expectations_question_cards.pdf CommentsLeave a Reply | "Sabbath Delights"
Updates from our favorite set-apart day of the week.... Sabbath, שבת(Shabbat)  Shemoth (Exo) 20:8-11 “Remember the Sabbath day, to set it apart. Six days you labour, and shall do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath1 of יהוה your Elohim. You do not do any work – you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days יהוה made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore יהוה blessed the Sabbath day and set it apart." Wayyiqra (Lev) 23:2-3 “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, and say to them, ‘The appointed times of יהוה, which you are to proclaim as set-apart gatherings, My appointed times, are these: ‘Six days work is done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of rest, a set-apart gathering. You do no work, it is a Sabbath to יהוה in all your dwellings. " Yeshayahu (Isa)58:13-14 “If you do turn back your foot from the Sabbath, from doing your pleasure on My set-apart day, and shall call the Sabbath ‘a delight,’ the set-apart day of יהוה ‘esteemed,’ and shall esteem it, not doing your own ways, nor finding your own pleasure, nor speaking your own words, Isa 58:14 then you shall delight yourself in יהוה. And I shall cause you to ride on the heights of the earth, and feed you with the inheritance of Yaʽaqoḇ your father. For the mouth of יהוה has spoken!” ArchivesApril 2012 Categories |
