Shalom Everyone,

  
It is almost time for another Zoom gathering.  The link and information is below.  Be sure to have the Zoom app downloaded on your device and you have opened an account.  It is free.
We sure did miss everyone, but felt the prayers.  Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.  What fruit of love we have experienced!  Ray is back home now.  He has another mountain to address but I believe we are all facing something.  Remember, with Elohim all things are possible!  What a wonderful opportunity to lift up a sacrifice of praise to our heavenly Father and grow in grace.


A sister sent me the Shema prayer and Nathan tweeked it a bit for us.  It is beautiful to see how we are coming together in the Ruach as time goes by and adding to our meetings.  Testimonies are abounding.  Feel free to share so that our online ecclesia is edified.  In addition to the Shema, we would love to hear the shofar blown at the beginning of our gatherings.  Nathan volunteered to do this and if someone else has a shofar and would like to share their gift of “sounding off”, please mention it and we will make sure you have that opportunity.

Shema:  Hear, O Israel: Yehovah our Elohim, Yehovah is one. You shall loveYehovah your Elohim with all your heart and with all your soul andwith all your might. And these words that I command you todayshall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to yourchildren, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, andwhen you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when yourise. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall beas frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on thedoorposts of your house and on your gates.


Donna Nash and Natan Lawrence are inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

Donna Nash (and Natan Lawrence) are inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.  


Shalom Everyone!  Here is the link for this Saturday’s fellowship.  Feel free to pass this on to other brothers and sisters you think may be interested in joining our Midrash (study and discussion of the Scriptures).  We have folks from the West coast to the East coast.  Be sure and upload the Zoom app to your device and sign up for an account.  It is free.  When joining the meeting, enable the audio and video options so we can see and hear you.  This is a wonderful way to encourage each other as the Ecclesia of Messiah.

I am adding a personal note to stay prayerful.  I am hearing of many brethren with their feet held to the fire.  Paul wrote to the Thessalonians when he was weary, “We were comforted over you in all our affliction and distress by YOUR faith.”  Find someone who’s faith will help sustain you if you relate to the above.  Yah bless and keep you.  We look forward to seeing you Saturday! — James and Donna Nash

A Comment on My Commentary

Posted on by

As some of you have noticed, this Bible reading season, I am focusing my Bible commentary notes on the two sections of the Bible that I have previously overlooked on this blog: The Writings and the Prophets. In the past, I have focused primarily on the the Torah and the Testimony of Yeshua (NT). For those of you who still desire to read my thousands of blog posts on these sections of the Bible, I invite to search out these you Scriptures them out by book or by topic on the search engine on this blog’s main page.

For the Writings and Prophets sections of Scripture, I have many commentary notes that I have not shared publicly, and am also in the process of writing more commentary as we go along.

So stay tuned…
