To See or Not To See

Scotoma Is The Opposite Of To See

August 31, 2024 • Rabbi Bruce L. Cohen • John 16:13, Deuteronomy 11:26–29

Give

In this week;'s Torah parasha, "Re'eh" – are commanded to see. This by the God who made us capable of "scotoma" - the willful blanking out of relevant ideas and rational thought leading to healthy conclusions, and replacing them with ill-formed prejudices, gaslighting, and other unhealthy psycho-gymnastics. What is a human-being trying to find and walk in truth to do?

Overflowing

December 7, 2024 • Scott Poticha, Elder/Trustee • Psalm 126:1, Romans 5:5

A very personal sermon built around an actual recent experience of a long-prayed prayer suddenly being answered.

God Invites - Will We Accept?

December 7, 2024 • Scott Poticha, Elder/Trustee • Deuteronomy 7:12—11:25, Isaiah 49:14—51:3

On The Edge

November 16, 2024 • 2 Corinthians 1:8–10, Deuteronomy 33:27

God, at times, puts us out on the end of a ledge – and then causes the ledge to evaporate under our feet. As we start to fall, with nothing visible between us and the ground below - at some point in the fall, "The Everlasting Arms" of God show up, and we are rescued. What IS this aspect of God-following?
