video reflection
We explore the Hebrew word nephesh that often gets translated as “soul.” The English word usually refers to a non-material essence of a human that survives after death, but nephesh means something different. It is referring to humans as living, breathing, physical beings, or just to life itself. Prepare to be surprised at the biblical meaning of this fascinating word.

One Response
We have talked about this previously, but I love the idea of the Passover celebration. the further away from an event the more your brain moves on to more current information, feelings, and memories. Having the Israelite people remember such a significant time in their history and focus on God’s mercy each year is such a good way to bring you back to what is truly important.
