As we look forward to the culmination of the Feast of Weeks (Shavuot/Pentecost) tomorrow, I had some encouragements I wanted to share.  Let’s dive into a couple verses.

1 Corinthians 5:7,8 — “Clean out the old leaven so that you may be a new lump, just as you are in fact unleavened.

I had a few thoughts relating to a verse in Proverbs that I wanted to share.  Although I originally intended this post to be a short “nugget,” it ended up being longer than I expected.  😉  I hope you enjoy this post and get something good out of it.

This semester in college has been challenging.  Lots of classes, lots of deadlines, lots of stuff to do.  It’s been easy for me to be constantly focused on the next to-do, worrying about how I’m going to get everything done.  Last week a thought came to me that has been a real encouragement.  The thought … More Joy Today

As we enter into Yahweh’s fall Feast season, I thought I’d share a few thoughts springing from a passage in 2 Timothy.  Being that these appointed times hold significance regarding the end of days, I think this message contains some fitting thoughts to ponder.  Whether you are observing the Feasts this month or next, I … More Last Breath

2 Timothy 4:1-2 — “I solemnly charge you in the presence of Elohim and of Messiah Yahshua, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom: 2 preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction.” Lately I’ve been … More In Season and Out of Season
