Coming up this Shabbat at Ben David

July 21 - Message by Doug Friedman:sermon

Title:

“What Makes Us Adequate to Serve God?”

This week, as we continue our study in 2 Corinthians, Paul begins to address the basis on which we depend in order to serve the living God, a new basis which was not available to us before. What is this new basis and how do we apprehend it as we progress in our walk with the Lord? Come and hear what Paul has to say!

Has the Lord been good to you? Have you experienced His grace and blessings in your life? Psalm 105:1-3 Instructs us to:
“Give thanks to the Lord! Proclaim His Name; Make known His deeds among the people. Sing to Him, sing psalms to Him; Talk of all His wondrous works. Glory in His Holy Name; Let the hearts of those rejoice who see the Lord.”
If you answered “yes” to the questions above, then we hope that you will join us as we gather to say Toda Adonai in worship and fellowship. Let us proclaim His great Name and declare His wondrous works in our lives.
Join us after the morning service at 12:30pm for a giving thanks luncheon. Lunch donation: $5.

We Are Passionate About the Bible

We believe that the Tanakh is an accurate and reliable record of the origins of all life and of God’s on-going involvement with His creation; also, that the Brit Hadashah is an account pertaining to Yeshua and His disciples representing the final revelation to man.

How to Earn a Divine Letter of Recommendation

Details
Series: 2 Corinthians
Date: 2018-07-14
Speaker: Doug Friedman
In 2 Corinthians, Paul carefully defends himself against attacks that have developed behind his back at a congregation he had planted just a few years earlier. Paul’s major concern, of course is not defending himself but the message that he brought and that the new believers embraced. Come and learn how to strike a godly balance between humility and courage.
