🎙️ Sermon 1: Refusing To Sh’ma

Date: 3/9/2024
Pastor: Rachel R. Wilson

The Hebrew Meaning Of Shema

The Hebrew word Sh'ma/Shema literally means listen, heed, or hear and it also means to obey and take action. To hear Hashem is to obey Hashem.

*Pastor Wilson meant to say Moshe's name properly, but mispronounced his name due to her speech impediment that sadly, forces her speech to mess up when she least expects it to.

English: “This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised. And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant between me and you." -Genesis 17: 10-11

English: “Now Israel, what does Yahweh your Hashem require of you, but to fear Yahweh your Hashem, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve Yahweh your God with all your heart an with all your nephesh, to keep the commandments of Yahweh, and his statutes which I command you this day for your own good? Behold, to Yahweh your Hashem belongs heaven and the heaven of heavens, the earth, with all that is therein. Only Yahweh had a delight in your fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them, even you above all peoples, as at this day. Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiff-necked. For Yahweh your Hashem, he is Hashem of gods, the Adoni of lords, the great Hashem, the mighty, and the awesome, who doesn’t respect persons nor takes reward.” -Deuteronomy 10: 12-17

English: “Circumcise yourselves to Yahweh, and take away the foreskins of your heart, ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my fury come forth like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.” -Jeremiah 4: 4

English: “We being Jews by nature, and not Gentile sinners, yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but through faith in Yeshua Christ, even we believed in Yeshua Christ, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law, because no flesh will be justified by the works of the law. But if, while we sought to be justified in Christ, we ourselves were found sinners, is Christ a servant of sin? Certainly not! For I, through the law, died to the law, that I might to Hashem. I have been crucified with Christ and it is no longer that I live, but Christ living in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of Hashem, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.” -Galatians 2: 15-20
