Few questions spark more debate than this one: Was the Sabbath changed from Saturday to Sunday? In Exodus 20, Dr. J. Vernon McGee traces the purpose of the Sabbath and the meaning of the Lord's Day, reminding us that our hope is not found in keeping rules, but in resting in the finished work of Jesus Christ.

The command to observe a weekly rest on the Sabbath day imitates the life of God, who rested on the seventh day of creation. The Sabbath resists wearying, dehumanizing labor in service to human masters by offering a regular rhythm of rest.

This recording is from the 28th session of our current Adult Sunday School class on the 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith, taught by Dan Skiff, on Sept. 20, 2026, on the 22nd chapter of the book, on the topic of "Religious Worship and the Sabbath Day."

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast (09/07/26), Hank wishes all of you a happy Labor Day and details the Labor Day holiday that God gave us long before the government did—our Sabbath Day rest. Just as we rest today on Labor Day, the Lord commands us to rest on the Sabbath each week. “Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your ox, your donkey or any of your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns, so that your male and female servants may rest, as you do” (Deut. 5:13-14 NIV). So our Labor Day holiday according to God is our Sabbath Day rest, which begs the question: why do Christians rest from their labor on the first day of the week (Sunday), rather than the last day of the week (Saturday)? The answer, says Hank, is encapsulated in just one word—resurrection. Hank also discusses something else that comes to his mind when he thinks about the word labor, and that is what Paul says in 1 Corinthians chapter 3, that each person will be rewarded according to their own labor. In other words, what we do now in this life counts for all eternity. Hank uses the illustration of his invitation to play Cypress Point, which he claims to be the most spectacular golf course on Earth. For months, he beat his body into submission while dreaming of the day he would experience walking its fairways. Without his strenuous preparations, he would have still experienced the same breathtaking views; however, all his hard work added immeasurably to his experience. That is what heaven will be like. As phenomenal as Cypress Point is, it pales in comparison to what paradise restored will be. Hank spent one day at a golf haven; he will spend an eternity in God's heaven. It stands to reason, therefore, that he would put a lot more labor into preparing for an eternity in heaven with God than he did for playing eighteen holes of golf.

God does not give us seven days of work to do each week; we can trust Him with our work and our rest. By Pastor George Konetes.

Khatungmani Khorang

Mother continues to read from The Christian Mother and The Christian Father, and answers questions from: Nick, who wants to know if praying the Rosary silently "counts";  Sarah, who wonders why the Church seems to value virginity in women more than in men;  Joshua, who asks if Mother has had any supernatural experiences (leading to Mother telling her miraculous Lourdes story);  Sam, who wonders how the Jews knew to refer to God as a "He";  Katy, who is curious about offering prayers in atonement for others;  and Rex, who wants to know why the Sabbath Day "changed"

The sermon addresses the controversy between Sabbath and Sunday worship by refuting Seventh-day Adventist doctrines through biblical analysis. It critiques Ellen White's visions as contradictory to scripture, particularly regarding the ark of the covenant and the Ten Commandments. The preacher establishes that while the Sabbath was a creation ordinance for rest, there is no New Testament command mandating Saturday worship for Christians. Using Acts 20 and Romans 14, the text argues that believers have liberty to worship on any day, emphasizing unity over judgment in matters of secondary doctrine.

Most of us would answer the question "how are you going?" with "busy." Not rested. Never rested. And yet the fourth commandment is on God's gift of rest, built into the rhythm of creation itself.This message from Mark 2 and Exodus 20 unpacks what it actually means to keep the Sabbath in a culture that can't switch off. Rest isn't a reward for finished work. It's an act of trust that God runs the world. And the rest Jesus offers goes deeper than a day off, it reaches the soul.Part of the Ten Commandments series at Soul Revival Church.

Honoring the Sabbath Day

God instituted the seventh day as a day of rest and worship for Israel to remember him and to stop their work. While Christ fulfills the Sabbath and we no longer follow it as a ceremony, there are important lessons for us to learn about work, rest, and worship from the Sabbath passages.

Tonight on the Manifesting GOD Podcast with Marie-Elizabeth: “Only a Sabbath Day's Journey” — based on Acts 1:12 Sometimes the distance between where you are and where God is taking you is shorter than you think. The disciples had just witnessed ascension, uncertainty, transition, and instruction… yet they still had to make the journey back in obedience before the promise came. What do you do when heaven has spoken, but manifestation hasn't happened yet? Join us tonight as we discuss: • The space between promise and fulfillment • Obedience in transition • Waiting with expectation • Why some journeys are spiritual, not geographical Your next move may only be a Sabbath day's journey away from breakthrough. Acts 1:12 “Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey.” #ManifestingGodPodcast #OnlyASabbathsDayJourney #Acts1 #FaithWalk #SpiritualJourney #WaitingOnGod #KingdomPerspective #Obedience #FaithInTransition #BibleStudy #ChristianPodcast #MarieElizabeth

Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship what may be one of the most vital — and no doubt offensive to some who most need to hear it — of the Torah teachings that the Whore Church would rather be ignored. Parsha “Kedoshim” (Leviticus chapters 19 through 21) is another one of those that most of us have heard is not just “Old” Testament, and thus “done away with,” but full of stuff that we now find insufficiently WOKE to even be allowed to discuss. Prohibitions on “sorcery” and seances and “Gay Sex” – who could imagine how bigoted and certainly some kinda-phobic that is? People will no doubt soon – when the Aliens get revealed – be punished for even reading it. Too bad that’s no longer even hyperbole. And ironically, while even the ‘Whore Church’ still, at least occasionally, quotes the part about “be Holy because The LORD is holy,” even if they spin that, most folks would prefer, and have been TAUGHT to, ignore what that actually means. The Erev Shabbat reading lays out more of the details WHAT that is, and a bit of WHY it’s now, at best, passe’. More importantly, though, given what’s now ‘in-progress’ – the text makes it pretty clear it’s also deadly. https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/SSM-5-8-26-Kedoshim-teaching-podcast-xx.mp3 Mark begins the Sabbath Day midrash with an explanation of the title of teaching for this week, and a bit of the irony of how the word “HOLY” has come to mean pretty much the opposite of what His Words says we are to be: Set Apart. From exactly some of what we’ve been taught. And now that the “Alien Deception” is, one way or another, in Full Swing, how will people who don’t even understand what we are to be Set Apart TO, recognize what they have already been set apart FROM, and why?

[Psalm 92:1-2] A psalm. A song to be sung on the Sabbath Day. It is good to give thanks to the LORD, to sing praises to the Most High. [2] It is good to proclaim your unfailing love in the morning, your faithfulness in the evening[Psalm 92:4-5] You thrill me, LORD, with all you have done for me!

Is eating out on Sundays a sin? Pastor Heath Lambert tackles this surprisingly complex question with biblical clarity and grace. Whether you eat out every Sunday after church or have never thought twice about it, this episode of Marked by Grace will help you think through what Scripture actually says about the Lord's Day, Christian conscience, and how we treat the people who serve us.0:00 - Is It Wrong to Eat Out on Sundays?1:16 - First Principle: Never Cross Your Conscience (Romans 14:23)2:02 - Sunday Is Not the Sabbath Day (watch a previous MBG episode that explains more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTOZeJPi0FY) 3:36 - Second Principle: This Is Not a Consequence-Free Decision3:57 - Hebrews 10:25 and the Importance of Gathering for Worship4:40 - The Moral Weight: Creating a Need for People to Work on Sunday6:03 - Third Principle: Going Out to Eat Can Be a Genuine Blessing6:26 - How the Lambert Family Navigates Sunday Meals7:37 - The Most Important Issue: Being a Gospel Witness to Your Server8:39 - Summary and Closing ThoughtsLike this episode?

Parsha “Acharei Mot” (Leviticus chapters 16 through 18) begins, as it says up front, “After the Death” of the two sons of Aaron. But we see several other parshas, since then. Why is that noted here, and what does it mean? And two of those have had to do with a ‘plague’ that hasn’t been seen for centuries, at least. Most of us have also been told that the things described in THIS one, too, are “old testament,” and “done away with.” Arguably, it’s even MORE wrong here! Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship for a story that only begins there. And if you find the connections valuable, please forward the message to those who might be blessed by it. The Erev Shabbat reading lays out the story, beginning “after the death,” and tells us, over and over again, in fact, that the “statutes” described are to be “forever,” and even tells us the consequences of the Big Lie that they’re not: https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/SSM-5-2-26-Acharei-Mot-teaching-podcast-xx.mp3 The story tells us “after the death,” of Aarons sons, Nadab and Abihu, that there are things that must be done, in accord with His Instruction, so that those who do so, WHEN He says so, “die not.” And then it follows with the description of the “two goats,” one for YHVH, and the other for “Azazel.” It might seem that the ‘picture’ represented by the ritual is fairly clear, and yet it’s not a ‘perfect fit’ for what Yahushua did – for several reasons. Mark begins the Sabbath Day midrash with those, and the fact that most of what — in this instance, certainly — must be called what it is, now too often ignored. Even though He says it remains a “statute forever.” And says it three times even. Many people with a ‘sunday-school’ background will remember the line from Hebrews that “it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.” But they ignore the context, and the lesson of the distinction between sin committed “in ignorance” (Hebrews 9:7) and knowing and deliberate rebellion to Him. For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries. Hebrews 10:26-27 This parsha then goes on to directly outline some of those things, which much of the world, and the ‘Whore Church’ which at minimum tacitly accepts, even promotes, YHVH warns about. Some — like things taught in the Publik Cesspools, and mandated by social pressures and tax subsidies — which are called “abomination,” and carry a death penalty. And they “defile the land,” which is why, He concludes, they were, and are, “vomited out” of it. We ‘cannot serve two masters.’ Which will it be?

An exposition of paragraphs seven and eight of Chapter 22 of the 1689 Second London Baptist Confession of Faith, treating the perpetual moral obligation of the Sabbath and its proper observance. The sermon establishes that the Sabbath is grounded in the law of nature, confirmed in positive moral and perpetual commandment, and fulfilled in the Christian Lord's Day — the first day of the week — following the resurrection of Christ. Main points: - the perpetual moral obligation of the Sabbath - natural law and the proportion of time - the threefold character of the Sabbath in special revelation - the twofold division: Old Covenant and New Covenant - the perpetuity of the Sabbath restated and the Lord's Day - the manner of keeping the Sabbath holy (paragraph 8) Scripture references: - Genesis 2:1-3 - Exodus 20:8-11 - Nehemiah 13:15-22 - Isaiah 58:13-14 - Mark 2:27-28 - Acts 20:7 - 1 Corinthians 16:1-2 - Colossians 2:16-17 - Hebrews 4:1-11 - Revelation 1:10

This commandment is not a burden. It is an invitation.God is offering: rest peace Himself Even if you don't feel anything… stay.Ask: “Lord, help me keep this day holy.”

Real worship isn't found in big actions. It flows in small encounters when we talk about God and choose to rest in His promises. Every word we say in God's name impacts our lives and every moment we rest in Him is an opportunity to trust and surrender to God more deeply. True worship begins when we Honor God's name and rest in His presence.Speaker: Dr. Peter Tan-ChiSeries: 10 CommandmentsScripture: Exodus 20:7-11Watch the full message here: https://go.ccf.org.ph/04262026Eng

Ang tunay na pagsamba ay hindi tungkol sa malalaking gawain. Nangyayari ito sa mga simpleng sandali—kapag pinag-uusapan natin ang Diyos at nagtitiwala sa Kanyang mga pangako. Mahalaga ang mga salitang sinasabi natin tungkol sa Kanya, at sa bawat pagpapahinga natin sa Kanya, mas natututo tayong magtiwala at sumuko. Nagsisimula ang pagsamba sa paggalang sa pangalan ng Diyos at magpahinga sa Kanyang presensya.Speaker: Ptr.

An exposition of the 1689 Second London Baptist Confession of Faith Chapter 22, paragraphs 1–2, examined through the lens of the regulative principle of worship. Working through Deuteronomy 12, 1 Timothy 3, and Hebrews 12, the sermon argues that God alone institutes and limits the acceptable manner of His worship, and that this principle holds consistently across both covenants. Main points: - the doctrine stated: the light of nature and the regulative principle (paragraph 1) - the restriction applied: worship to the Triune God through Christ alone (paragraph 2) Scripture references: - Exodus 20; 21-23; 24; 25-31; 35-40; 40:34 - Leviticus 1-7; 8-10; 9:22-24; 10:1-3; 16 - Deuteronomy 4:24; 5:7-10; 12:29-32 - Psalm 19 - Haggai - Romans 1:19-21 - 1 Timothy 3:14-15 - Hebrews 12:18-29

Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship for a provocative two-part look at parsha Tazria, Leviticus chapters 12 through 14, and a discussion of what is too often dismissed as “old” testament minutia that no longer has any relevance. Mark suggests that one of the most intriguing things about certain sections — like this one! — is how things that the ‘church’ claims are irrelevant is how He may have Written it for us knowing far better. Just maybe. And the Erev Shabbat reading starts to make that case: https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/SSM-4-17-26-Tazria-teaching-podcast-xx.mp3 During the Sabbath Day midrash, Mark begins by asking some relevant questions, including, “what is UN-righteousness?” And what does this parsha tell us about it. And the answer follows from the observation that a person who was ‘declared’ unclean, by the cohenim, was put “outside the [clean, evidently!] camp” — until they were again declared clean. A look at the story of Miriam, and her “bad-mouthing” of Moses (in Hebrew, “lashon hora,” or the “evil tongue”) does at least begin to make the case that “gossip” or such damaging and contemptible speech, MIGHT be a cause of the ‘plague’ of tzaraat. And unlike ‘leprosy’ – there hasn’t been a single known case of tzaraat in the world for many centuries. But if “evil speech” can even remotely result in that ‘visual manifestation of a spiritual malady” – why, oh why, don’t we see it literally EVERYWHERE in a world today where the “Evil Tongue” gets you a network late night show? Did YHVH decide to stop the warning? As things get worse, and we enter into greater tribulation, wouldn’t an indicator of ‘wolves in sheep’s clothing’ be handy? Perhaps at least part of the problem is that when the whole word is ‘unclean’, there’s no point in kicking them out. Which seems to make the lesson all the more important.

Parsha “Shemini,” (Leviticus chapters 9 through 11) is a ‘tour de force’ of what we have been told is “old testament” and “done away with,” and the reasons why that is such a satanic lie. The story starts on the Eighth (or ‘Shemini’) day where YHVH tells Moshe and Aaron and the elders of Israel what must be done, as Aaron and his sons are consecrated to be kohenim, priests to Him. Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship for a provocative two-part look at the parsha, and a discussion that will again, surprise some who have, like it or not, rejected His Word in favor of a pervasive Lie. And the Erev Shabbat reading lays that out in a manner that is hard to ignore: https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/SSM-4-10-26-Shemini-teaching-podcast-xx.mp3 During the Sabbath Day midrash, Mark suggests that the atbash, or set of literary brackets that surround the key element in the deaths of Nadab and Abihu (“there came forth fire from before YHVH, and CONSUMED…”) also touch the very heart of the lesson. It’s all about eating, or consuming (the SAME Hebrew word, every time) and it surrounds people who were “nigh unto Me,” says YHVH. And the should have known better, but instead did that which He had NOT commanded. As if He had. And there it is. Funny how so much of what He commanded, and then warned about, has been literally “turned on its head.” And how, once we see it, the thing that some disciples once called a “hard teaching,” isn’t really so hard at all. And the Big Lie is (again) revealed for what it is. Shemini: “No Sugar in the Gas Tank” https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/WT-CooH-4-11-26-Shemini-Sugar-in-the-Gas-Tank-podcast-xxx.mp3 Service information: Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship worship services and teachings are broadcast live every Sabbath, via Paltalk.

Parsha “Tzav,” (Lev. 6 through 8) continues the instruction concerning specific types of ‘sacrifices’ and ‘offerings,’ followed by the related process for sanctification of Aaron and his sons as cohenim. There is a stunning contrast here, too, since this is the timeframe of His “Appointed Times” or moedim, known as Pesach, or Passover, and followed by the week of the Feast of Unleavened Bread. NOT to be confused with re-naming the Most Important Event in Human History with a fake, pagan, abomination of a ‘fertility goddess.’ Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship for a provocative two-part look at the parsha, and a discussion that will no doubt offend many (as He did). But arguably not nearly as much as the issue so clearly offends Him. You might call it the unequivocally “NOT-Easter” Special. First, the Erev Shabbat reading: https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/SSM-4-3-Tzav-teaching-podcast-xx.mp3 In the Sabbath Day midrash, Mark this week explores the stunning CONTRAST between those ‘offerings’ and ‘sacrifices,’ — which Scripture again emphasizes in such detail — and the Single Sacrifice which has since be re-named to something it is certainly not. Is there no irony in the claim that the single ‘Final’ and Ultimate Sacrifice has been renamed in an idolatrous celebration that invites the death penalty? The haftorah reading begins with a warning that those who originally heard failed to heed. “You trust in lying words…” said the prophet YermeYahu (Jeremiah). “Obey My voice,” He told them. They misunderstood – and ignored – the lesson of the ‘sacrifices’ – and STILL DO. But it is the lesson of Ezekiel chapters 8 and 9 that is most pertinent to the idolatry that is so pervasive today! Tzav: “Lots of ‘offerings – ONE Sacrifice – Even More Abomination Now – and Little Discernment” https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/WT-CooH-4-4-26-Tzav-Lots-of-Offerings-ONE-sacrifice-LOTS-of-pagan-abomination-but-little-discernment-NOT-easter-special-podcast-xxx.mp3 Service information: Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship worship services and teachings are broadcast live every Sabbath, via Paltalk.

Parsha “Vayikra,” begins the Book with the same Hebrew name, aka “Leviticus” in English. And it’s both too often considered “boring” by much of ‘Sunday Christianity’ – and thus ignored – while at the same time being central to one of THE most misunderstood concepts in Scripture. And at the heart of perhaps THE Greatest Error, as well. Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship for a provocative two-part look at the parsha, and a discussion that will no doubt offend many (as He did, BTW). Which only makes it more vital to understand. First, the Erev Shabbat reading: https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/SSM-3-27-Vayikra-teaching-podcast-xxx.mp3 In the Sabbath Day midrash, Mark again takes a deeper look at the differences between ‘offerings’ and ‘sacrifices,’ and, more importantly, why Scripture emphasizes in such detail the concept of “unintentional” sin. It turns out that ‘deliberate rebellion to YHVH’ is also outlined as well, but in a VERY different way. And that is what makes All the Difference. It’s also why we’re told that such a sacrifice is made only once. But that is a fact generally denied by a ‘church’ which fails to teach the difference! Vayikra: “Is replacing Yahushua with ‘another jesus’ Unintentional Sin – or Worse?” https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/WT-CooH-3-28-26-Vayikra-Anothe-jesus-Is-THAT-Unintentional-Sin-or-worse-podcast-xxxx.mp3 Service information: Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship worship services and teachings are broadcast live every Sabbath, via Paltalk.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260318dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion They brought to the Pharisees the man who had been blind. Now the day on which Jesus had made the mud and opened the man’s eyes was a Sabbath. Therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. “He put mud on my eyes,” the man replied, “and I washed, and now I see.” Some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath.” But others asked, “How can a sinner perform such signs?” So they were divided. John 9:13-16 A Rulebreaker The Third Commandment could not be clearer: “Remember the Sabbath Day by keeping it holy.” But to avoid all confusion, God went on to explain, “Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work” (Exodus 20:9-10). So, Jesus is a rulebreaker, right? He worked on the Sabbath! He made mud, put it on a blind man’s eyes, and told him to wash in the Pool of Siloam, all of which led to this man seeing for the first time in his life. Some of the Pharisees could not help but conclude, “This man is not from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath.” This wasn’t the first time Jesus had generated a heated debate by healing someone on the Sabbath. From the earliest days of his earthly ministry, Jesus was causing his opponents to have serious bouts of consternation as they tried to square Jesus’ claims of being the Son of God and the promised Messiah with his apparent refusal to obey God’s holy law. But was it a refusal? Hardly. It was a fulfillment! Jesus once explained, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath” (Mark 2:27). His point was simple: of course, God wants us to honor him by resting from our labor at some point every week to hear and ponder his saving Word. But he also calls us to put his Word into practice by regularly demonstrating love for our neighbors in need. The Christian life is not an either/or proposition. It’s an everyday both/and way of life! Our Savior never overturns God’s Word. Instead, he fulfills it. Perfectly. Prayer: Jesus, empower me to be like you more and more every day. Amen.

Today's question is one that Pastor says has been the question asked with the most fear.  Other ways this question is asked:     ⁃    What is the unforgivable sin?     ⁃    What is the sin against the Holy Spirit?     ⁃    How can I be sure I haven't done this?     ⁃    If I have done this is there any hope?     ⁃    How do I avoid the unforgivable sin? Matthew 12:31-32 Jesus says, "And so I tell you, every kind of sin and slander can be forgiven, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come." What is that sin? Let's start by looking at the context …     ⁃    Jesus was preaching and healing. Religious authorities saw Jesus as a threat. Jesus heals a paralyzed man and the religious leaders say Jesus is blaspheming because He told the man your sins are forgiven, take up your mat and walk. And the religious leadership are angry and they continue to get angrier. Matthew 9:3     ⁃    Matthew, one of Jesus' disciples, hosts a dinner, invites his tax collector friends and Jesus attends too. The religious leaders accuse Jesus of "eating with tax collectors and sinners." Matthew 9:11     ⁃    Jesus heals a demon possessed man and the religious leaders say Jesus was able to heal the man through demonic powers. Matthew 9:34     ⁃    Jesus and disciples are walking in the grain fields on the Sabbath Day, picking and eating grain and the religious leaders say they are working on the day of rest, which is unlawful. Matthew 12:2     ⁃    Jesus heals a demon possessed man and now the religious leaders plot to kill Jesus. Matthew 12:14     ⁃    Jesus heals a man and they say that Jesus healed by the power of Beelzebul (the devil) Matthew 12:24 It is at this point that we continue with the verses just before our text for the day on the unforgivable sin. We read in Matthew 12:25-28 "Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand. If Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then can his kingdom stand? (Meaning how can I be healing from demons by using demons?) And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your people drive them out? So then, they will be your judges. But if it is by the Spirit of God that I drive out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you." What Jesus is saying is look at what you see.  Stop judging on the basis of your own anger and bitterness and look at what the Bible has said along. God's healing is being brought to people. The Holy Spirit is testifying that the Messiah has arrived! Then Jesus speaks the words we started with this morning. Note that the first words are "EVERY KIND OF SIN AND SLANDER CAN BE FORGIVEN." Jesus goes on and what He's saying is if we continually refuse to listen to the Holy Spirit and actually go so far as to call what the Spirit does as demonic then we are setting ourselves up for the unforgivable sin.  (Note: Jesus is not saying they have done this, but He is calling them to search the scriptures, to search their hearts.) The Holy Spirit always testifies to Jesus. Jesus is saying do not sin against the Spirit because if you persist in that you are cutting yourself off from the only One who can save. The Holy Spirit leads us to faith and to Jesus, who opens our eyes to see the goodness and grace of God. What is the sin against the Holy Spirit? IT IS THE CONSCIOUS, DELIBERATE AND PERSISTENT REJECTION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT'S TESTIMONY TO THE IDENTITY AND SAVING POWER OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. Jesus speaks these words of warning to them to lead them to repentance and faith.  God is merciful. His desire is for ALL. Classic example:     ⁃    Saul of Tarsus - the persecutor of believers who becomes a transformed man - Apostle Paul.  Pastor shares Saul's story of transformation. Paul understood the sin of the Holy Spirit because that was the path he had been on in his life. But then Saul has an encounter with God that changes him and he understands the immense patience of God and His amazing grace. Pastor closes with Romans 10:9-10 "If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved." God is good!

By Donald Hooser - To celebrate God's Sabbath day, to make it a joyful day that means a lot to you in your good Sabbath keeping.

Dave Myers discusses Exodus 31:13—“Speak also to the children of Israel, saying: ‘Surely My Sabbaths you shall keep, for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am the LORD who sanctifies you.'”

Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship for a provocative two-part look at what he claims is one of the most fascinating Torah portions in the whole Book, not only because of the variety of topics it covers, but the fact that they are so, let’s face it, HATED by much of society. Not only are they NOT ‘politically-correct,’ but the fact that so many of them ARE so rejected, he argues, helps explain why the “social justice-loving,” humanistic, Progressive Pagan system that has replaced His Word is such an UTTER, undeniable, even Satanic, MESS. The Erev Shabbat reading of the parsha, with some poignant commentary: https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/SSM-2-13-Mishpatim-teaching-only-podcast-xxx.mp3 There is a whole lot that could be said about the Sabbath Day midrash and commentary. But, this time, it will simply be more expedient to suggest — listen to it, pray, and make up your own mind.
