In this sermon, Rabbi Brian explores the #profound #lessons we can learn from all biblical characters—even the villains. Drawing from Paul’s teaching that #Scripture is inspired for teaching and correction, he emphasizes how the flaws of figures like Pharaoh, King Saul, and #Bilaam reflect the #struggles and #weaknesses within each of us. Rather than #judging these characters from a distance, Rabbi Brian invites us to respond with humility—“You Are That Man”—recognizing our own capacity for stubbornness, pride, jealousy, and envy.He #challenges the #tendency to dismiss #biblical #failures as only others’ #sins and #highlights the #danger of #prideful #attitudes #exemplified by the #Pharisee in Luke’s parable. Instead, we are called to a posture of brokenness, humility, and grace, acknowledging we are all part of the body of Messiah, #diverse yet united. Using vivid examples and Scripture, the sermon confronts personal reflections, warns against rejoicing over others’ downfall, and encourages believers to see each other through God’s eyes, #embodying #love and #community even amid differences.

#King #Hezekiah started well. His #vision was high and his heart for #revival was strong. But his fatal illness, of which he was healed, caused him to stare at the wall. And he lost his revival fire. So much so, he did not care that his children would be slaves in Babylon. #Challenges and difficult life #circumstances can cause us to be inward focused rather than outward. But even in those times, stop staring at the wall. There are #opportunities to go #beyond yourself and impact society for the Kingdom of Messiah.
