The Fast of Gedaliah Part 1: Accepting Corrections - English only

Congregation of the Living Word, a Messianic Jewish Congregation

The Fast of Gedaliah Part 1: Accepting Corrections - English only. This year, the commemoration of the Fast of Gedaliah begins tonight, Saturday, October 5, 2024. It is traditionally observed as a partial fast, meaning we abstain from food and water, only during the daylight hours, from sunrise to sunset on Sunday, October 6. On this day, we remember how we lost our final chance to preserve a national presence in the Promised Land after the first Temple's destruction. The events surrounding Governor Gedaliah have many lessons for us to learn. The Scriptures explain that there is a reason why God corrects us. It is ultimately for our own good! This is a rebroadcast of a September 2021 sermon from our archives.
