Shabbat 11 03 18 | Maintaining Our Focus In The Midst Of Division by Zion Hebraic Congregation
In this Shabbat message Warren speaks from Hosea 4. Listen along as he talks about Torah, the environment, truth and Israel. Shalom!
Listen along to this week's Shabbat message from Warren as he talks about Daniel's prayer life and what we can learn from it.
Listen along to this week's Shabbat message from Warren as he goes through Isaiah 48:1-8. Passages referred to: 1 Corinthians 12:10 Matthew 7:21-23 Revelation 2:2,9 Isaiah 65:16 Psalm 71:22, 119:142 John 8:44, 17:17, 18:37, 14:6
Listen along to this week's sabbath message from Luke as he goes through Psalm 37. Shalom!
Listen along as Luke goes through some passages in the Book of John as well as other passages regarding the Word of God.
In this week’s message Warren Tanner takes us through the first two chapters of the Book of Job. Job was a real person who went through life issues that many of us have. Through Job’s life we can gather lessons to draw on throughout our own lives. Warren covers three points: The Character of Job, The Challenge of Satan and The Confidence of God.
Listen along as Warren teaches us valuable insights from the life of Jehoshaphat in 2 Chronicles 18.
Listen along as Luke takes us through 2 Chronicles 29 to the end of the book. King Hezekiah restore the Temple and much more.
This week’s shabbat message we read and learn from the life of Jehoshephat King of Judah. Jehoshaphat was the son of King Asa. We first learn the LORD was with him because he walked in the first ways of David his Father. This was a way of saying he was a good king. David is always the standard the Bible uses for a good Biblical leader or King. The Bible tells us he walked with the LORD God of his father, and in his commandments, and not after the doings of Israel. Israel at this time was steep in idolatry with king Ahab on the throne. It is important to note here the importance the text puts on his keeping the Torah. There is always blessing in keeping the commandments of God. But this is just the beginning.. Follow along as we read from 2 Chronicles 17-20 and learn from God’s word.

In this message we go through the Torah portion “Lech Lecha” while seeing that Abraham is the example of many of the foundational principles of our faith and walk with God. As we read through Galatians 3 we see how pivotal Abrahams life is to understanding the Apostolic Scriptures, especially Paul’s writings.
