Isaiah 43 and John 16 focus on how God calls us by name and shapes us through life’s challenges, just as He did with Israel in exile. This study explores the importance of trusting the Master’s plan (fulfilled in Messiah Yeshua (Christ Jesus), the meaning of true belonging and how prayer transforms us. No matter where we are, God’s redemption and love are personal, purposeful, and ongoing — inviting us to connect with Him and each other.
The LORD sends us into the world to be His ambassadors (2Cor. 5:20) and part of the kingdom of priests (Ex. 19:5–6; 1Pet. 2:9–10; Rev. 5:9–10). Will we go? Will we face challenges of our own making or ones that are out of our control? Division is toxic to the Kingdom of God. How are we living this out?
In this study of the Torah reading וישלח Vayishlach (Genesis 32:3–36:43), we will go over a few of Yeshua’s parables that will make Ya’akov’s WWE match with the Angel of the LORD look logical. We will learn more about how God teaches us. We have been sent to a world full of brokenness while experiencing brokenness ourselves. How we deal with the brokenness of others and divisions and disagreements in the Body is a sign of our spiritual maturity.
