Listen "Shavuot: Was Sinai a wedding… or a threat? - Dallas Messianic Congregation"
Episode Synopsis
As we count the days toward Shavuot, we’re not just measuring time — we’re preparing our hearts.In this special video teaching, “Fire on the Mountain, Spirit in the Heart,” we begin exploring the depths of Shavuot: not just the history, but the mystery — and how this holy day still speaks to our souls today.Why does Shavuot matter?It commemorates the giving of the Torah… but the Torah never explicitly says that!So what really happened at Sinai? And what does it mean for us today?In Part 1 of this teaching, we uncover:Why Shavuot is about more than cheesecake, all-nighters, or ancient ritualsThe mystical journey from barley to bread, from instinct to intentionalityHow every day of the Omer is a step away from slavery — and toward spiritual readinessThe two kinds of “yes” — one born of fear, the other of loveWhat the Midrash means when it says God held the mountain over our heads like a barrelAnd why we say, “We will do and we will hear” before we fully understandShavuot is a divine wedding anniversary — not just a moment in history, but an invitation renewed every year.The question is: are we still receiving?Let this Shavuot be more than a tradition. Let it be a return to covenant — not by force, but by love.“Your Maker is your Husband… the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer.” – Isaiah 54:5
