Podcasts about Sabbath

The Wilderness Hyperlink Episode (E12) — In every theme study, we try to isolate a biblical topic and trace its appearances in the biblical story. But it's important to remember that biblical themes all harmonize and play off of one another, like instruments in an orchestra. That's why as we went back through our library of episodes, the wilderness setting came up often. How did Moses fail his test in the wilderness? How did Jesus succeed in the wilderness? How does the wilderness lead us all into final Sabbath rest? In this hyperlink episode, we'll listen to clips from previous podcast series where the theme of the wilderness came up in Jon and Tim's conversations.View all of our resources for The Wilderness →CHAPTERS  Why Couldn't Moses Enter the Promised Land?

In Leviticus 25, God calls His people to live “weird” in the best possible way, set apart in how we rest, handle money, treat the poor, and trust Him with our security. The Sabbath year and the Year of Jubilee paint a picture of a radically different kind of life: one marked by deep rest, faithful responsibility for a place and a people, and costly redemption for those in debt or bondage. In Jesus, the true Jubilee has arrived. He is our kinsman-redeemer who sets captives free and invites us to live as people of Jubilee in the middle of a restless, anxious, and greedy world.

I have experienced being slain in the Spirit! My friend wants us to sleep together. Should I? Can you explain the Sabbath? My son doesn't seem to believe anymore. What should I think? Which is the best Bible version in English? I believe there are two kinds of tongues, and one is to edify yourself. Isn't that what 1 Corinthians 14 is teaching?

Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship for a two-part look at parsha "Chayei Sarah," Genesis 23:1-25:18)... [Full description and separate parts to follow...] "Chayei Sarah: It's ALL about Trust" The combined two-part reading and Sabbath midrash:

Daniel's Prayer Was “seeking him {God} by prayer and pleas for mercy with fasting . . . ‘O Lord, the great and awesome God . . . we have sinned and done wrong'” MESSAGE SUMMARY: There are times when you need clarity, understanding, knowledge and insights from God about the specific issues that you, your family, your church, or your country are facing. In your personal relationship with God as a Jesus Follower, the Lord will speak to you; but sometimes it takes your listening and fasting to hear Him. For example, when Joel received a Word when the land was to be destroyed, he called a fast (i.e. Joel 1:14): “Consecrate a fast; call a solemn assembly. Gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land to the house of the LORD your God, and cry out to the LORD.”. Some things you are facing in your life must be dealt with by both prayer and fasting. Fasting releases a spiritual power – in your weakness, God is made strong in your life. Daniel's prayer, from Daniel 9:3-5, provides a context for asking direction from God: “Then I turned my face to the Lord God, seeking him by prayer and pleas for mercy with fasting and sackcloth and ashes. I prayed to the LORD my God and made confession, saying, ‘O Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, we have sinned and done wrong and acted wickedly and rebelled, turning aside from your commandments and rules.'".   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, Sabbath rest is truly an unbelievable gift! Thank you that there is nothing I can do to earn your love; it comes without any strings attached. As I close my eyes for these few minutes before you, all I can say is, thank you! In Jesus' name, amen.  Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 133). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that because of what God has done for me in His Son, Jesus, I AM FORGIVEN. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9 SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): Joel 1:13-16; Matthew 6:16; Daniel 9:3-7; Psalms138:1-8.

Thanks-Living (Additional Message by Pastor Yow of Gahanna – “Go, and Make Disciples”) MESSAGE SUMMARY: Today's Message by Archbishop Beach -- ”Thanks-Living”: We need to develop a mindset of “Thanks-Living”, which includes a perspective of “thankfulness” based on God's faithfulness to His promises. God wants us to live with a fullness in our lives, but our lives should not be focused and consumed by “things”. Jesus tells us, in Matthew 6:33, to seek first His Righteousness and His Kingdom: “But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.". Additionally, Jesus tells us in Matthew 6:25a,27: “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life . . . And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?”. Have faith; trust in God because He knows what we truly need, and God is faithful in His promises. Rather than worrying and being anxious about “things”, we need to view the “things” of the world with “thanksgiving” because God has promised to provide what we need – this perspective and focus on earthly “things God's faithfulness to His promises is “Thanks-Living”. We need to live in thanks for what God has promised to do for us. We should seek to form an “attitude of gratitude” to instill a perspective of thankfulness to God who has provided and will provide – “Thanks-Living”. If you have a need, thank God because He knows your need; and that, somehow and in some way, God will provide for your need. Paul promises in Philippians 4:19: “And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.". When you enter a life focused on “Thanks-Living: 1) your life burden is lifted, and it is replaced by God's peace; 2) God becomes your partner is the life issue that you are facing; 3) you are provided with a spirit of anticipation for what God is going to do; 4) you will find that God is always faithful; and 5) your faith will increase. During the week of America's declared holiday of Thanksgiving, practice living your life in “Thanks-Living”. Today's Added Message by Pastor Yow of Gahanna – “Go, and Make Disciples”: Pastor Yow's focus is to take the Gospel and his witness into those places in which God and Jesus are unknown; and the practice of “religion” in these places is, often, through “witch doctors”. Also, those in America, who are supporting missions, must “believe” themselves: “American Christians must believe because there are too many unbelievers in America”. In order to fulfill Jesus' Great Commission to make disciples in America as well as beyond America, those professing to be Christians must be a witness to the Gospel by proclaiming, publicly and often, our faith in Jesus and His Gospel to the world.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, Sabbath rest is truly an unbelievable gift! Thank you that there is nothing I can do to earn your love; it comes without any strings attached. As I close my eyes for these few minutes before you, all I can say is, thank you!

Have you ever wondered what ignites ordinary people to become extraordinary witnesses for Christ? In Acts 1, Jesus reveals the transformative secret—the power of the Holy Spirit. Pastor Blake unpacks how this divine power source activates every spiritual rhythm in our lives, from Sabbath to service. Through compelling parallels between Christmas gifts and spiritual power, he illuminates why we can't sustain faith on willpower alone. Whether you're running on empty or seeking fresh passion, this message reveals how to tap into supernatural empowerment for authentic witness. Don't miss this vital conclusion to the Rhythms series—discover how to move beyond ritual into Spirit-filled living that naturally draws others to Jesus.

In Week 6 of our series Present Yourselves: Transformed for a Life of Worship, Pastor Chris Zauner brings a timely and challenging message titled "Worship Through Rest." In a culture where exhaustion is worn like a badge of honor, Pastor Chris invites us to reimagine rest—not as a break from productivity, but as an act of worship and surrender to God.This sermon explores the deep spiritual significance of rest through the lens of Scripture—from God's rest in creation, to the Sabbath commandment in the Mosaic covenant, to the redefinition of rest in the person of Jesus. Pastor Chris unpacks how rest isn't just about stopping work; it's about stopping striving. True rest begins with trust—trust that God is sovereign, that His work is complete, and that we are not defined by what we produce.Drawing from Matthew 11:28–30, Genesis 2, Exodus 20, and Colossians 2, this message helps us see rest not as a legalistic obligation but as a relational gift. Rest is no longer about law—it's about living in the freedom, identity, and rhythm Jesus offers. Pastor Chris challenges us to build intentional rhythms of rest in weekly, monthly, and seasonal ways—not to escape our lives, but to fully engage in the presence of God.If you've ever felt tired in soul, burdened by expectations, or unsure how rest fits into your life as a follower of Jesus, this sermon offers clarity, encouragement, and practical vision for what it means to worship through rest. Learn how to let go of striving, embrace your limits, and realign your life with the One who never grows weary.Series: Present Yourselves – Transformed for a Life of WorshipMessage Title: Worship Through RestSpeaker: Pastor Chris ZaunerScriptures: Matthew 11:28–30, Genesis 2:2–3, Exodus 20:8–11, Deuteronomy 5:15, Colossians 2:16–17, Hebrews 4:9–10, Mark 2:23–28

We live in a world that never stops—emails, deadlines, expectations, and noise. Yet God invites His people into something radically different: rest.In this message, we'll explore what it means to practice Sabbath as an act of trust and worship. True rest isn't found in a vacation or a day off, but in remembering that the work that matters most has already been finished by Christ. Discover how ordinary followers of Jesus can rest well—not out of laziness, but out of faith.

Rev. Paul Welch delivers the message this morning.John 5:1-18“After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, in Aramaic called Bethesda, which has five roofed colonnades. In these lay a multitude of invalids—blind, lame, and paralyzed. One man was there who had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had already been there a long time, he said to him, “Do you want to be healed?” The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, and while I am going another steps down before me.” Jesus said to him, “Get up, take up your bed, and walk.” And at once the man was healed, and he took up his bed and walked. Now that day was the Sabbath. So the Jews said to the man who had been healed, “It is the Sabbath, and it is not lawful for you to take up your bed.” But he answered them, “The man who healed me, that man said to me, ‘Take up your bed, and walk.'” They asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Take up your bed and walk'?” Now the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, as there was a crowd in the place. Afterward Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, “See, you are well! Sin no more, that nothing worse may happen to you.” The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had healed him. And this was why the Jews were persecuting Jesus, because he was doing these things on the Sabbath. But Jesus answered them, “My Father is working until now, and I am working.” This was why the Jews were seeking all the more to kill him, because not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God.”www.huntsmbc.com

Adam West | Recorded September 20, 2025

It's one of the most valuable things we have—and one of the easiest to waste. We've all heard the saying, “Time is money.” But if that's true, why do we spend it so carelessly? The truth is, time is worth far more than dollars and cents—it's the most limited resource God has given us. Learning to steward it well isn't just good productivity advice—it's an act of worship.If you've ever said, “I just need a little more time,” you're not alone. Many of us feel the pressure of time slipping through our fingers. Ironically, we often spend our days chasing money, status, or success—only to run out of the very thing we were trying to “buy back.”We treat time like a renewable resource when it's really more like a savings account that's constantly being drawn down. Every hour that passes is one you'll never get back. Yet our culture tempts us to equate our worth with how much we earn or produce.A Biblical View of TimeScripture offers a radically different view. In Psalm 90:12, Moses prays, “Teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.” He's not talking about counting hours on a clock but realizing that our time is limited—and therefore deeply valuable.From a biblical perspective, time isn't ours to manage however we wish. It's a gift from God, entrusted to us for His purposes. Just as money and talents belong to Him, so does our time.In Ephesians 5:15–16, Paul writes, “Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil.” The original Greek phrase for “making the best use” literally means “redeeming the time”—buying it back for God's glory. It's the same word Paul uses elsewhere to describe what Jesus did for us on the cross.Christ redeemed us from sin and emptiness, giving our lives eternal meaning. In the same way, we're called to redeem our time—to invest every moment, conversation, and decision in what will last forever.Here's the catch: if you don't decide what your time is worth, someone else will. Your job, your phone, your inbox, even social media—all have plans for your time. Unless you set boundaries, your days will fill up with things that seem urgent but aren't truly important.Jesus modeled something completely different. Even with the most important mission in history, He took time to rest, pray, eat with friends, and be fully present with people. He had the margin to be interrupted—to stop for the sick, listen to the hurting, and teach those who were searching. He never rushed, yet He always fulfilled the Father's will.How to Steward Your Time WellSo how can we live as if our time truly belongs to God?1. Reevaluate Your PrioritiesEvery decision is a trade. When you say yes to one thing, you say no to something else. Ask yourself, “What matters most in God's eyes—and am I giving that my best time?”2. Measure Time by Meaning, Not MoneyOur culture values time by dollars per hour, but God's economy works differently. A quiet afternoon encouraging a friend may not pay in cash—but it yields eternal dividends. As Jesus said, “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”3. Build Margin into Your LifeJust as financial margin creates freedom to give, time margin allows you to live generously. When you're not overscheduled, you can pause to listen, serve, or rest. Sabbath isn't wasted time—it's holy time that reminds us that God is in control.4. Steward Small MomentsEternal impact isn't found only in big events. It's in the five minutes you pray for someone, the ten minutes you spend in Scripture, or the conversation that points someone to Jesus. As Colossians 3:17 reminds us, “Whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus.”Making Your Hours Count for EternityWhen you see your time through an eternal lens, every moment takes on new meaning. You stop chasing the clock and start cherishing what truly matters. Missionary C.T. Studd once wrote, “Only one life, 'twill soon be past; only what's done for Christ will last.”So what's your time really worth? It's worth exactly what you invest in eternity.Don't just count your hours—make your hours count. Live intentionally. Rest purposefully. Serve generously. And let every day remind you of the One who holds all time in His hands.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I have two kids—a 14-year-old and a newborn—and just opened brokerage accounts for them.

Jeremiah 17:19-27November 12, 2025Pastor Nick Shaffer

What if the most productive thing you do this week is stop? We sit down with Michael and Selah Hirsch to unpack a countercultural rhythm that rescued their marriage, clarified their purpose, and brought peace to a home with four kids: a weekly Sabbath practice centered at the table.Their story starts with nonstop work—nonprofit leadership, brand building, parenting—and a moment of awakening in Israel that reframed Sabbath as a gift, not a grind. We talk through the biblical roots from Genesis to the words of Jesus, then get practical: a simple Friday night flow of Scripture, lighting two candles, speaking personal blessings over each other, and sharing communion before an unhurried meal. No perfection required. Phones off if possible, hearts open for sure. They share how this small, repeatable ritual reshaped identity from “I am what I produce” to “I am beloved,” and how rest became wisdom that fuels better work.We also tackle the hard edges: entrepreneurs who fear lost deals, parents exhausted by chaos, and professionals who can't disconnect. Michael and Selah offer grounded steps to start small, expect resistance, and build trust without legalism. You'll hear how working from rest unlocks creativity, deepens sleep, softens conflict, and makes space for God to carry what you can't. Whether you're faith-curious or longtime Christian, whether your table holds pizza or a feast, this conversation shows how a few intentional hours can change the other 160.If this resonates, share it with a friend who needs permission to pause. Subscribe for more conversations that restore clarity and courage, and leave a review to help others find the show. What would your first small step toward real rest look like this week?Find the book here:https://www.amazon.com/Pressing-Pause-Finding-Restless-World/dp/B0FD8RSFTCFor more information contact us atrtrdestiny@gmail.com

Through practical steps and personal anecdotes, listeners are encouraged to embrace the strength found in discernment and the sacredness of their time.TakeawaysA life of endless yes can unravel your calling.No can unlock health, abundance, and a deeper joy.Clarifying your God-given priorities is essential.Your priorities aren't walls, they are pathways.Saying no starts before the word even forms.Every unchecked yes robs time from your true path.Boundaries are sacred ground that protect relationships.Your stop doing list is not loss; it is harvest.Sabbath is not a suggestion; it is God's invitation to trust.The quiet strength of no is a gift, not a chain.Sound bites"A life of endless yes can unravel your calling.""Saying no starts before the word even forms.""Boundaries are sacred ground."Chapters00:00 The Power of No03:22 Finding Balance in Church Planting05:50 Practical Steps to Saying No08:08 The 24-Hour Rule for Discernment10:44 Building a Stop Doing List13:05 Setting Boundaries for Healthy Relationships15:42 Creating Rhythms of Rest17:53 NEWCHAPTER17:58 ETE_Cover Art.mp4Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/echoes-through-eternity-with-dr-jeffery-skinner--5523198/support.Echoes Through Eternity Guiding church planters and pastors to plant seeds of prayer, holiness, and courage that outlast a lifetime. contact drjefferydskinner@protonmail.com

What is a high Sabbath? How is a high Sabbath different from a regular Sabbath day?

What kind of legacy are you really building — one that fades with success or one that lasts for generations? In this inspiring conversation, Garrett Maroon and Shaylee Clark unpack what it means to be a Christian real estate agent who leads with faith, purpose, and Biblical business principles instead of burnout and busyness.They discuss the importance of setting boundaries, honoring the Sabbath, and pursuing health over hustle — reminding every listener that God calls us to faithfulness, not frantic striving. You'll walk away challenged to build a business that reflects your values, faith, and calling, not just your numbers.

We'll look at the rules for consecrating priests. God tells Moses to take a census and collect offerings. We'll explore the Altar of Incense. Bezalel gets special skills for Tabernacle construction.

Living alone may be difficult, but what about dying alone? Physicians and nurses are the new priests accompanying people as they face death. But the experience of nursing homes, assisted living, and palliative wards are often some of the loneliest spaces in human culture.“He said, ‘Someone finally saw me. I've been in this hospital for 20 years and I didn't think anyone ever saw me.'”This episode is part 5 of a series, SOLO, which explores the theological, moral, and psychological dimensions of loneliness, solitude, and being alone.In this episode, Columbia physician and medical ethicist Lydia Dugdale joins Macie Bridge to reflect on loneliness, solitude, and what it means to die—and live—well. Drawing from her clinical work in New York City and the years of research and experience that went into her book The Lost Art of Dying, Dugdale exposes a crisis of unrepresented patients dying alone, the loss of communal care, and medicine's discomfort with mortality.She recalls the medieval Ars Moriendi tradition, where dying was intentionally communal, and explores how virtue and community sustain a good death. Together they discuss solitude as restorative rather than fearful, loneliness as a modern epidemic, and the sacred responsibility of seeing one another deeply. With stories from her patients and her own reflections on family, COVID isolation, and faith, Dugdale illuminates how medicine, mortality, and moral imagination converge on one truth: to die well, we must learn to live well … together.Helpful Links and ResourcesThe Lost Art of Dying: Reviving Forgotten Wisdom by Lydia S.

By William Bradford - This is the eighth part of a mid-week Bible study series covering Christ's fifth discourse in the book of Matthew.

Daily Dose of Hope November 12, 2025   Scripture – John 19   Prayer: Holy God, You are a God of order and a God of purpose.  The world may seem chaotic, but you are not.  You have ordered your world with perfection.  Help us trust you.  Lord, fill us with your perfect peace.  In Your Name, Amen.   Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope Church daily Bible reading plan.  As most of you know, we have been walking through the Gospels and will soon walk through Acts.  Today, we begin John 19.    Our passage begins with Jesus before Pilate.  Even Pilate, the Roman official, recognizes that Jesus has done nothing wrong. Pontius Pilate is an interesting guy.  He knows that Jesus hasn't done anything wrong, certainly nothing worthy of execution, and he truly wants to free Jesus.  The text indicates that Pilate is somewhat scared of Jesus. He tries to placate the Jewish leaders.  He has Jesus flogged.  He offers to release Barrabas, a noted insurrectionist, thinking for sure they would rather have Jesus set free rather than a murderer.  But that isn't what happened. And Pilate isn't willing to stand up for what he knows is right.  His own role in Jesus' death lands him a mention in the Apostle's Creed, the most famous and oldest Christian Creed.  Think about it, for two thousand years, Christians around the globe have been declaring that Jesus died under Pontius Pilate.    Bottom line:  The Jewish officials are desperate to get rid of Jesus. They are blinded by fear, jealousy, and contempt. In an attempt to get Pilate to cooperate with their plans, they threaten to report him to Caesar. After all, Jesus claimed to be king and anyone who made such a claim would be considered a threat to the emperor. The great irony here is that the Jews are essentially presenting themselves as better Roman citizens than Pilate, the Roman official. When it's convenient for them, they are happy to use the pagan Roman government to get their way. They will sacrifice their own ethics to ensure that Jesus is killed.   The thing about sacrificing our ethics is that it's a slippery slope, is it not? These Jewish officials were probably very pious men. They thought they were doing the right thing. Afterall, Jesus was saying blasphemous things and he didn't follow their rules. They needed to step in and take care of it. But gradually their dislike of Jesus became hate. They so badly wanted him gone that they were willing to do anything, break their own laws, disobey Torah, simply to get rid of him. They were willing to do anything, no matter how shady it was or low they had to go.   Has your hatred of another person ever made you compromise your own values? We think we are so much better than these Jewish officials but I think sometimes we are just like these Jewish officials. Dig deep today, friends. Examine your own heart. The remainder of the chapter is pretty powerful.  Jesus carries his own cross to the place of his execution.  The soldiers cast lots for his clothing.  He breathes his last breath without any of his bones being broken by the soldiers.  They pierced his side with a spear.  Lots of prophecy being fulfilled here.   Finally, two faithful Jewish men, Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus, take Jesus' body and place it in a tomb.  Not a lot can be done to prepare the body for burial because it's Friday afternoon and the Sabbath is upon them.  Things will have to wait.  But things may look a lot different on Sunday morning.   Blessings, Pastor Vicki

In light of a series of miracles in our readings for today, Fr. Mike focuses on our Lord's compassion and our call to be merciful, as he is. He emphasizes the beauty of God's mercy and his offering of it despite our unworthiness. He also strikes a balance between the goodness of humanity as God's creation and our brokenness due to original sin. Today's readings are Luke 6-8 and Proverbs 26:1-3.

In today's episode, Jesus passes through Samaria, a town that most Jews considered to be so loathsome that even setting foot inside the city limits would have been frowned upon. Jesus not only does this, but he breaks custom by asking a Samaritan woman for a drink of water, telling her about the living water that leads to eternal life. Along with his disciples, he stays for two days before continuing onward to Galilee. Later, in Jerusalem, Jesus heals a mand on the Sabbath and refers to God as his Father, and this is where he begins to earn the ire of the Pharisees.John 4 - 1:09 . John 5 - 10:16 . Psalm 145 - 17:56 .  :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by Bobby Brown, Katelyn Pridgen, Eric Williamson & the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

It's the most wonderful time of the year… and the most exhausting. Between the decorating, the baking, the shopping, and the pressure to make everything magical, our souls can feel more hurried than holy. In this episode, we slow down to talk about what it really means to rest during the holidays, not just physically, but spiritually.Drawing from The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer, The Deeply Formed Life by Rich Villodas, and the practice of Slow Living, join us as we explore how doing less will actually help us experience more: more peace, more joy, and more presence with the people (and the God) who matter most.If you feel like you're carrying the weight of making the holidays “perfect,” this conversation will remind you that perfection isn't the point - presence is. You'll walk away with practical ideas to simplify the season, breathe deeply, and rediscover the sacred rhythm of rest, even in the holiday hurry.Show Notes:The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark ComerThe Deeply Formed Life by Rich VillodasSlow Living Articles:Already Stressed About the Holidays?https://www.latimes.com/lifestyle/story/2025-11-06/tips-holiday-overwhelm-stress-niro-felicianoHow to Slow Down During the Holidays              https://caitlinhoustonblog.com/how-to-slow-down-during-the-holidays/Why Doing Nothing Intentionally is Good for Us: The Rise of the Slow Living Movement.                                           https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20240724-why-doing-nothing-intentionally-is-good-for-us-the-rise-of-the-slow-living-movement

Transcript:He: עם ריח תבלינים באוויר וצבעים עזים בכל מקום, שוק מחנה יהודה בירושלים היה חי ותוסס במיוחד.En: With the scent of spices in the air and vibrant colors everywhere, the Mahane Yehuda Market in Jerusalem was especially lively and bustling.He: תמר הסתובבה בין הדוכנים עם חיוך חצי מרוגש וחצי לחוץ.En: Tamar wandered among the stalls with a smile that was half excited and half anxious.He: היא אהבה את השוק הזה מאז שהייתה ילדה, אבל היום היא חיפשה משהו מיוחד: את כל החומרים לסופגניות המפורסמות של סבתא שלה.En: She had loved this market since she was a child, but today she was looking for something special: all the ingredients for her grandmother's famous sufganiyot.He: היה סתיו וקריר, ופנסים קטנים האירו את הרחובות באור חמים.En: It was autumn and cool, and small lanterns lit the streets with a warm glow.He: תמר עברה בין הדוכנים עם רשימה בידה, פניה מלאות נחישות.En: Tamar moved between the stalls with a list in her hand, her face full of determination.He: היא רצתה להכין ארוחת שבת לחנוכה למשפחתה, ולהחזיר טעם מהעבר, כשסבתה הייתה מכינה סופגניות מהחלומות לשבתות חנוכה.En: She wanted to prepare a Sabbath dinner for Hanukkah for her family, bringing back a taste from the past, when her grandmother would make dreamlike sufganiyot for Hanukkah Sabbaths.He: אבל השוק היה הומה.En: But the market was crowded.He: אנשים בכל מקום, קונים את כל מה שיכולים לקראת החג המתקרב.En: People were everywhere, buying everything they could ahead of the approaching holiday.He: בחנות הקמח, המוכר הביט בה בצער.En: At the flour shop, the seller looked at her with regret.He: "מצטער, גברת, ניגמר לי הקמח המיוחד שאת מחפשת," אמר.En: "Sorry, ma'am, I'm out of the special flour you're looking for," he said.He: תמר לא ויתרה.En: Tamar didn't give up.He: "יש תחליף?En: "Is there a substitute?"He: " היא שאלה, חושבת לעצמה אם היא תצליח לשמר את טעם הילדות או תיאלץ לעגל פינות עם משהו חדש.En: she asked, wondering if she would manage to preserve the childhood taste or have to cut corners with something new.He: היא ידעה שהיא חייבת למצוא את החומרים האותנטיים כדי לכבד את הזיכרון של סבתה.En: She knew she had to find the authentic ingredients to honor her grandmother's memory.He: כשעברה בחנות תבלינים קטנה, זכרה פתאום חברה ותיקה של המשפחה, יונה, שהייתה תמיד עם פתרונות קסם בכל בעיה.En: As she passed a small spice shop, she suddenly remembered an old family friend, Yona, who always had magical solutions to every problem.He: יונה הייתה בעברה מהבשלניות הגדולות של ירושלים וגרה קרוב לשוק.En: Yona was once one of the great cooks of Jerusalem and lived close to the market.He: תמר חשה השראה ופנתה לדוכן הפטל של אבי.En: Tamar felt inspired and turned to Avi's berry stall.He: היא הסבירה לו את מצוקתה.En: She explained her plight to him.He: אבי חייך ושאל: "למה לא תלכי ליונה?En: Avi smiled and asked, "Why don't you go to Yona?He: אולי היא תוכל לעזור!En: Maybe she can help!"He: "תמר הרגישה פתאום פרץ של תקווה.En: Tamar suddenly felt a burst of hope.He: היא מיהרה לדירה של יונה.En: She hurried to Yona's apartment.He: כשהגיעה, יונה חייכה למראה פני החברה הצעירה.En: When she arrived, Yona smiled at the sight of the young friend.He: "תמר!En: "Tamar!He: איזו הפתעה נעימה!En: What a pleasant surprise!"He: " היא קראה ונתנה לה חיבוק חם.En: she exclaimed and gave her a warm hug.He: תמר הסבירה במהירות את המצב, יונה הנהנה בחיוך.En: Tamar quickly explained the situation, and Yona nodded with a smile.He: "אני יודעת בדיוק מה את צריכה," אמרה יונה ושלפה מהמטבח הקטן שלה שקית קמח שהסתתרה מאחור.En: "I know exactly what you need," said Yona, retrieving from her small kitchen a hidden bag of flour.He: "זה בדיוק הקמח של סבתך.En: "This is exactly your grandmother's flour."He: "תמר התמלאה בהתרגשות.En: Tamar was filled with excitement.He: היא הודתה ליונה בכל ליבה וחזרה הביתה כשהיא מרגישה מצוידת ופעלתנית.En: She thanked Yona with all her heart and returned home feeling equipped and industrious.He: בערב שבת, כל המשפחה התייצבה סביב שולחן מלא כל טוב.En: On Friday evening, the whole family gathered around a table full of delicacies.He: הסופגניות היו מושלמות, מלאות בריבה טעימה כשהן עוד חמות, בדיוק כמו שסבתא שלה הייתה מכינה.En: The sufganiyot were perfect, filled with tasty jam while still warm, just like her grandmother used to make.He: כשאמה נגסה ביס ראשון, עלו דמעות בעיניה.En: When her mother took the first bite, tears welled up in her eyes.He: "זה בדיוק כמו של אמא," היא לחשה.En: "It's just like mom's," she whispered.He: תמר הרגישה גאווה גדולה, הבינה את כוחן של מסורות ואת התמיכה שקיבלה מהקהילה.En: Tamar felt immense pride, understanding the power of traditions and the support she received from the community.He: היא חייכה לעצמה, יודעת שהצליחה לשמר טעם וזיכרון יקר, וכל זאת בזכות נחישותה ועזרתם של אחרים.En: She smiled to herself, knowing that she had succeeded in preserving a precious taste and memory, all thanks to her determination and the help of others.He: השבת הייתה מושלמת, והאור המסנוור של חנוכה הבריק בלב כולם.En: The Sabbath was perfect, and the radiant light of Hanukkah shone in everyone's hearts.

In this weekend's broadcast of Words of Grace, Pastor Benjamin Winslett turns to Luke 6 to consider Jesus' encounter with the heavy hand of legalism. In these familiar passages, the Pharisees condemn Christ and His disciples for plucking grain on the Sabbath and later challenge Him for restoring a man's withered hand on another Sabbath. … Continue reading "Jesus’ Encounter with Legalism"
