Let's uncover what it means to have a teachable spirit. How can our willingness to learn and grow lead to restored relationships with God and each other? Discover the significance of being doers of the Word, and learn how the ancient narratives of Genesis still speak to us today.

If I were going to meet you for coffee, we’d need to establish two things in order to meet: a time and place. What time and place will the Lord be on the earth so we can meet up with Him?

It was a solemn and meaningful Yom Kippur service at Temple Beth Israel. The rabbi began his sermon with this sobering reminder, “Everyone in this congregation is going to die some day.” From the back there was a short laugh. The rabbi continued, “As I was saying, no one is exempt. The president of the synagogue, the cantor, everyone in this community, including me, is going to die someday.” Another laugh, this time heartier. “Excuse me, but why are you laughing?” the rabbi demanded. “I’m just so relieved,” the reply came. “I’m not part of this community--I’m visiting from out of town!”

In this sermon we take a sober look at our own mortality and at what's important in life.
