Toldot

Ardelle Brody

Shalom!   This week our parsha gives us insights and details in the life of Yitzchak/Isaac. We notice that in Yitzchak's life, there were many situations that required incredible faith and trust in the promises of YHWH, beginning of course with his near sacrifice. We are left to wonder how this affected him and laid the groundwork for the tremendous faith he often displayed.

Chayei Sarah

Ardelle Brody

Shalom!   Our parashah begins with the story of the acquisition of a burial plot for Sarah by Avraham. Then we continue with the story about those who are left behind following Sarah's death.

Shalom!   I remember years ago, sitting in church and hearing the Pastor say, "Jesus spoke more on the Kingdom than any other subject." I so clearly remember thinking, then tell us "what is the Kingdom?" More and more today I am understanding what is the message of Yeshua and the Kingdom.

Noach

Ardelle Brody

Shalom!   We are happy to greet you this day from the Promised Land! We arrived last night and we were greeted by friends who took us "home" to our location on the Golan Heights. I LOVE being here and look forward to what our Heavenly Abba will teach us and show us over the next several weeks as we attempt to be a blessing to those who spend their lives serving and blessing the nation of Israel.   We very much enjoyed a few people we met on the planes. One was a...
