"Messiah's Prediction of His Second Coming" Mark 13:24-37
What a wonderful time we had in services last Friday. Neal Surasky from Chosen People Ministry gave a wonderful message on the "Heart of Paul" and many of us were encouraged by his personal testimony and zeal for evangelism. As a bonus, it was so special celebrating Rosie's 90th birthday during our Oneg Shabbat time. Rosie is truly one of Adat's treasures, and she and Bob are true examples of faithfulness and godliness to our congregation. This Friday we will resume our teaching in the gospel of Mark. In our last message, Jesus had just declared to His disciples regarding events that would happen both in the near future, and at the end of the age. This teaching has been called His "Olivet Discourse", since He proclaimed these things on the Mount of Olives. Jesus predicted that the beautiful Temple in Jerusalem would be fully destroyed, and forty years later Roman legions destroyed both the Temple and the city of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. He also declared that in the future there would be wars, famines, earthquakes, and a "great tribulation" that would come upon the world during the last days. He also shared comforting words of hope and salvation for those who endure faithfully during these times. This week we will resume Messiah's Olivet teaching with His predictions of events that will happen that precede His second coming. This is the great hope that all believers throughout church history have had--the promise of His return, and the establishment of His kingdom of righteousness. Though we do not know the exact time of His coming, Jesus has declared that we can discern through certain events when "He is near" (13:29). So come join us this Friday evening for Shabbat services as we conclude our study on "the sign of His coming, and of the end of the age (Matt. 24:3)." Our service will begin at 7:30 P.M. We will have joyful, uplifting worship, a Torah devotional, our study in the book of Mark, and warm food and fellowship at the end of our services. Come join us for an encouraging time of learning, worship , and fellowship. Hope to see you there, and for each of our special High Holiday services that will begin the week after.

Rosh HaShanah Service is next week, Sep 11th, 7:30pm at Adat Shalom - Rosh Hashanah marks the beginning of the civil year and is the Jewish New Year’s Day. God commanded the blowing of trumpets on the first day of the seventh month to call the congregation for a very solemn assembly.
Traditionally Rosh Hashanah is a time of self-evaluation and repentance. For those who know the Messiah, it is a time of praise because we know that we have eternal forgiveness in Him. Leviticus 23:24-25.
It is also traditional to eat sweet foods for a “sweet New Year”.
Adat Shalom will provide apples that we will dip in honey and special round challah bread for you to partake in, we encourage you to bring your favorite holiday food for after the service. Things like sweet pastries, honey cakes, fruits, nuts, but grains, salads, yogurts, and even savory things are also traditional. Many things can be found on the internet these days, but most important is that you come and join us on this special night.
Adat Shalom does NOT charge for any of its High Holiday Services.
