You Are The Man!

In this sermon, Rabbi Brian explores the #profound #lessons we can learn from all biblical characters—even the villains. Drawing from Paul’s teaching that #Scripture is inspired for teaching and correction, he emphasizes how the flaws of figures like Pharaoh, King Saul, and #Bilaam reflect the #struggles and #weaknesses within each of us. Rather than #judging these characters from a distance, Rabbi Brian invites us to respond with humility—“You Are That Man”—recognizing our own capacity for stubbornness, pride, jealousy, and envy.He #challenges the #tendency to dismiss #biblical #failures as only others’ #sins and #highlights the #danger of #prideful #attitudes #exemplified by the #Pharisee in Luke’s parable. Instead, we are called to a posture of brokenness, humility, and grace, acknowledging we are all part of the body of Messiah, #diverse yet united. Using vivid examples and Scripture, the sermon confronts personal reflections, warns against rejoicing over others’ downfall, and encourages believers to see each other through God’s eyes, #embodying #love and #community even amid differences.#mitzvot #Jewish #shabbat #shalom #blowtheshofar #Shofarblast #MishkahnDavidRI #Tenakh #Bible #Torah #webelieve #BritChadasha #Godbreathed #wordofgod #inspired #messianicjudaism #messianic #christian #yeshua #faith #jesus #love #theway #biblicalmonth #biblicalcalendar #theway #thetruth #thelife #life  #hope #love #birth #midwife #moses #moshe #parshat #torahportion #Israel#youaretheman #youarethatman #genuinelook #introspection #selfreflection #upyousideways
