Torah portion for the week:  Yitro (Jethro) [Sh'mot/Exodus 18:1-20:23(26)

 
    Kingdom Star Ministries is an evangelical Messianic home congregation in Spokane, Washington. We believe that the entire Bible is relevant and applicable to all those who would seek to have a relationship with God today, whether Jew, Gentile, Messianic, Christian, or have never considered having a relationship with God before. We fellowship in Spokane with a Hebraic style in order to celebrate the roots of our Messianic faith and gain a deeper understanding of the truths of God's Word.  As a ministry, it is the purpose of Kingdom Star Ministries to reach out in love to the community of East Central, Spokane and anyone else who is looking for a Messianic Congregation in Spokane.


We are saved by grace and not by works, but what if living outTorah in our lives helps us to see God and our faith in a new and more powerful way? It does.


 We meet at 6:00pm on Friday in our home at 2127 E 5th Ave, Spokane, Washington. For those of you already familiar with our congregation, notice the new time. We will no longer be meeting on Saturdays. We have a time of music and prayer, followed by a teaching. After the service we have a time of fellowship and Bible study. Our congregation is very kid friendly and welcome anyone wanting to learn how to walk in the footsteps of our Messiah Yeshua (Jesus) out of a sincere faith in Him.  We would love to have you join us this next Shabbat and you don't need to let us know, just show up. The doors might be closed, but that's to keep the flies out, not you.

What if the conventional model of church hinders your intimacy with God, communion with other Believers, and personal spiritual growth because of traditions which have nothing to do with the Bible? It does.


    This past Friday,   we had a good discussion, and for the first time, I didn't even get to the study I had prepared. That is fine, because it is God's time, not mine. We will try to do it again in two weeks. Every other week we do a double parashah, so this week, we will have a discussion from Bo and Yitro. The other weeks, we do a study on some other portion or topic of Scripture decided by the group the previous week. This way, we will get to Scriptures and topics that people want to learn about, which may not be easily covered with the traditional parashah schedule. This week, we will be discussing the desire people have to have a mediator between themselves and God, even though Yeshua provided the means to have an intimate relationship with God personally. It is bound to be a good discussion, so we hope to see you here.

What if the Creator of the Universe empowered you do be more and do more than you ever thought possible, and such empowering was based on what He can do through you and not what you can do for Him? He has.


 
My book, Designed by God, Built by Man, is finished and available. Click on the title to go to the website selling the book, or you can buy it from Amazon. This book will show you that you are more than you ever thought you were. I show you through historical Isra'el, the layout of the Tabernacle, the office of the priesthood, and the purpose of Yerushalayim/Jerusalem that you have a purpose in God's plan, not only for your life, but the world, that you may have never thought of before. Did you know that your face relates to the Table of Shewbread? It does. Find out this and other interesting insights in this Designed by God, Built by Man. It spend close to 4 years writing this book and now that it is finished, I will be using a portion of the proceeds to support the work of Kingdom Star Ministries. Get your copy today. 
    
       What if a day of judgment were coming, and the difference between life and death depended upon your relationship with the rider of a white horse? It is.


      I have been able to see the hand of God at work amongst His people in the past week or two. My hours at work, which should have been cut in half have not been. Friends of ours who were literally a few days from eviction from their home recieved a gift which enabled them to stay in their home. Other friends in real estate have begun making sales and are optimistic of others in the future. One says it may be his best year yet. My father in law, who has been looking for work for ten years in Michigan and two years here has some prospects of his own. My van still needs to be fixed, and there is still many needs for finances, continued blessings, healing, and restoration in the community, but it is encouraging to see these blessings this past week. All of us need to continue to engage God in prayer and support eachother any way we can.


What if there were no meaning in the world except that which you give to it, and the only place where there is real meaning is in the One who created you out of His infinite love for you? It is.

               
         If you are coming to this site and you do not know the love of the Creator of the Universe, we want you to know that you are fearfully and wonderfully made. No matter what you have done or what has happened to you there is healing, forgiveness, and restoration available. If you need help or prayer concerning your life or your walk with God, send me an e-mail at the address below and I will be happy to assist in any way I can. God has a unique and powerful place for you in His Kingdom and with Him all things are possible. Let Him prove Himself to you today and give Him the opportunity to blow your mind!

    What if your could leave the past behind, live without fear of the world and doing, being, and having enough?  You can.

    We are growing steadily, as God continues to lead new people to Kingdom Star Ministries. It is exciting to see what God is doing and what He will do in the future, through this evangelical ministry, as we learn to go forth by the power and guidance of the Holy Spirit into our Spokane community to be a light for Torah and the Messiah Yeshua together.  As we get more involved in reaching out to the community, we need donations not only of money, but of common summer items like bottled water, sunscreen, handi-wipes, candies, hand lotion/sanitizer, trail mix, just about anything you would appreciate recieving if you are at a park on a hot sunny day. Keep in mind that charity is not throwing away money, but investing in the Kingdom of God.

What if you were not alone in this world and had the support of a loving community to teach you, guide you, and encourage you in this journey we call life? You're not.

Another joke I've liked. It's kinda old, but still relavent. Of course I have to update to president.

Obama and Osama are having a conversation. Osama tells Obama that he had a dream. Across all of America were signs saying, "Hail to Osama!" Obama though for a moment then told Osama that he had a dream too. All Afganistan and the rest of the middle east was living in prosperity. Everyone had a job and people were happy. There were signs all over as well. Osama says, "Really, what do they say?" Obama says, "I don't know. I can't read Hebrew."

I love this joke

A girl was in science class drawing a picture. The teacher asked her what she was drawing. She said it was a picture of Jonah and the whale. The teacher told her it was scientifically impossible for a man to go into the belly of a whale. The girl told it was true because the Bible says so. The teacher insisted it was impossible. The girl said she would ask Jonah when she got to heaven. The teacher asked what if Jonah didn't go to heaven. The girl said, "Then you can ask him".
