Teshuvah, Day 8

The rich, young ruler asked Yeshua, “What must I do to inherit eternal life?” The Messiah answered, “If you would enter life, keep the commandments.” To fully return to God means to return to His commandments in obedience. Let’s take a look.

Teshuvah, Day Zero

The Days of Teshuvah begin tonight at sundown, so we’ll call this post, Day Zero.

Traditionally, Psalm 27 is read each of the forty days. It’s a short 14 verses, so let’s break that down and see how it’s a call to return to God.

The Meaning of Teshuva

The Days of Teshuva, Part 2
