Shabbat Shalom Brethren !
Please join us for Prayer, Worship and this weeks 16th Torah Portion message, B'Shallach ... (when he let go). ( Exo. 13:17-17:16, Judges 4:4-5:31,5:1-31, 2 Peter 1 )
'After Pharaoh finally relented and let the Israelites go, Moshe probably assumed that the worse was behind them. But we know from past events that Pharaoh had little regard for keeping his word. So yet again, Adonai hardens Pharaohs heart so that He can show His obvious superiority over Pharaoh and the gods of Egypt by saving the Israelites with His outstretched arm.'
The Torah Cycle: The Weekly Synagogue Reading
“For Moses from ancient generations has in every city those who preach him, since he is read in the synagogues every Sabbath” (Acts 15:21).
It is amazing to realize that through thousands of years every synagogue around the world still reads from the identical Torah portion each week. The readings begin with Genesis 1:1 in September or October. Several chapters are read aloud to the congregation in Hebrew each week—a total of fifty-four Torah portions. Each reading for the week is called a parashah, which means “portion.” The names of the weekly portions derive from a significant Hebrew word in the first sentence of that week’s reading. A year after beginning the first portion, the congregation finishes Deuteronomy, rerolls the Torah Scroll and begins Genesis again. This Simcha Torah (Joy of Torah) Service demonstrates that there is no end to Torah! The weekly Torah Cycle includes a reading from the Prophets. Messianic believers also incorporate a portion from the New Covenant into their weekly reading.
