Chag Sukkot Sameach 5784!
The RAIN is coming!
Sukkot - Tabernacles - Shelters - Booths
Any way you say it, this holiday represents the culmination of the yearly Feasts of the Lord (Leviticus 23)
What a picture of God’s faithfulness!
He made us dwell in tents in the wilderness as He led us to the Promised Land
Numbers 9:15 On the day the Tabernacle was erected, the cloud covered the Tabernacle. By evening until morning, the cloud above the Tent of Testimony had an appearance like fire.
The tents remind us of the fragility and impermanence of this natural life
Isaiah 40:6 A voice is saying, “Cry out!” So I said, “What shall I cry out?” “All flesh is grass, and all its loveliness is like the flower of the field.
The decorations of fruit and grains are a grateful reminder of the harvest of the Land and the spiritual harvest that is ongoing…
John 4:35 Don’t you say, ‘Four more months, and then comes the harvest’? Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields! They are white and ready for harvest.
The lulav and etrog represent the heart, spine, eyes and lips. We are to love and serve Him with all we are!
Leviticus 23:40 On the first day you are to take choice fruit of trees, branches of palm trees boughs of leafy trees, and willows of the brook, and rejoice before Adonai your God for seven days.
Ushpizin - the Hebrew word for celebratory hospitality. We welcome all people to the Sukkah to experience the love and covering of the God of Abraham.
Hebrews 13:2 Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers—for in doing so, some have entertained angels without knowing it.
REJOICE!
Leviticus 23:40 And you shall take for yourselves on the first day the fruit of beautiful trees, branches of palm trees, the boughs of leafy trees, and willows of the brook; and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God for seven days
HOW THIS CONTRAVENES THIS WORLD SYSTEM!
We are to rejoice, not in our fantasies of self-worth and participation trophies and “just because” I was born… but in the GLORY, MAJESTY, MERCY AND JUSTICE of the Holy One of Israel.
Thank you for standing with us.
Because of you, this month we have been able to:
Bless one of the oldest Jewish Gospel proclamation ministries in the world
Support a ‘hidden’ work that helps the international Body pray for the Messianic Jewish and Arab Christian works in Israel
Continue to stand with the Chinese underground church movement
You are making a difference. Thanks for trusting us to vet the ministries that are actually fulfilling the great sending of Yeshua.
Upcoming Services: If you are in the Bay Area, we will be speaking at :

With love and gratitude,
