What do you do when following God feels like going down?Going down has always meant moving away from God. Until now. At Beer-sheva God says to Jacob — go down. I myself go down with you. I myself bring you up. His plan is hard. And it is good.Watch “The Well of The Oath” on The Restoration App, Facebook, & YouTube or here: https://restoration.subspla.sh/2c5ym2y#thehappyrabbi #restorationseattle #JewishinSeattle

In the Torah, God healed the Israelites from snake bites when they looked up at the bronze serpent—not because it had power, but because they repented and trusted Him. As former slaves in Egypt, they knew the belief: “The thing that bites you can heal you.” Likewise, Yeshua was lifted up so we could look to Him, repent, and live. Sometimes, what’s hurting you is what God uses to lift your eyes to Him.

For two thousand years Jesus has been presented to the Jewish people wearing a disguise — a European face, a Latin name, the God of empires that persecuted them. Is it any wonder his own people don't recognize him? The problem was never the evidence. It was the costume. And this week we take it off.Watch “I Am Yeshua” on The Restoration App, Facebook, & YouTube or here: https://restoration.subspla.sh/y45g8yb#thehappyrabbi #restorationseattle #JewishinSeattle

Nineteen sermons in and it all comes to a head. Joseph has been hiding for twenty-two years. His brothers have been carrying the weight of what they did for twenty-two years. And in one moment — two Hebrew words — everything changes: Ani Yosef. I am Joseph.The dead man says his own name. The disguise falls. And before the hammer drops — grace. Join us for the most dramatic moment in the book of Genesis — What do you find when you draw near?Watch “I Am Joseph” on The Restoration App, Facebook, or YouTube or here: https://restoration.subspla.sh/bdj42m5#thehappyrabbi #restorationseattle #JewishinSeattle

We all carry both. The voice that calculates what's in it for me, and the voice that says — take me instead. The question is not which one is in you. The question is which one wins when the moment arrives. This week we look at what it actually takes to become someone capable of a different action.Watch “Take Me Instead” on The Restoration App, Facebook, or YouTube or here: https://restoration.subspla.sh/gzhmfxj#thehappyrabbi #restorationseattle #JewishinSeattle

Family dysfunction, hidden patterns, and control issues don’t start with us—but they can stop with us. In Genesis 44, Joseph’s trap exposes how we replay inherited deception instead of living from God’s true inheritance: blessing through sacrifice, not control through manipulation.Watch “The Snake’s Cup” on The Restoration App, Facebook, or YouTube or here: https://restoration.subspla.sh/hx3p867#thehappyrabbi #restorationseattle #JewishinSeattle

Unhealed trauma often forces us to build walls and recreate old conflicts, keeping us trapped in self-protection rather than moving toward the restoration we need. It is easy to perform the outward motions of faith while remaining emotionally hidden. By looking at the reunion of Joseph and his brothers, we see how "religious theater" maintains distance even when reconciliation is within reach. Watch to see how being truly present in the house of God allows healing to interrupt the cycle of pain.Watch this message on The Restoration App, Facebook, or YouTube or here: https://restoration.subspla.sh/qt4xhn5#thehappyrabbi #restorationseattle #JewishinSeattle

Family tension, unresolved conflict, and buried mistakes have a way of resurfacing when we least expect it. In a powerful moment in the Joseph narrative of Genesis, we see what real repentance looks like—returning what was taken, facing the person you wronged, and trusting God with the outcome.

You think you can bury a heavy secret under the "daily grain" of a busy life, but like a silver coin in a shaken bag, the past eventually rises to the top. This message reveals that the pressure you’re feeling isn't God trying to destroy you, but a surgical move to bring what is hidden into the light for real healing. Whether you’re hiding a mistake or carrying a trauma you didn't cause, facing the truth is the first step toward God calling you back to wholeness.Watch this message on The Restoration App, Facebook, or YouTube or here: #thehappyrabbi #restorationseattle #JewishinSeattle

We often think success heals old wounds, but unhealed trauma can turn our present power into a weapon for revenge. This message explores how Joseph—despite his royal status—remained a prisoner to his past, proving that we often hurt others just to make them "understand" our pain. The truth is, you don’t need an apology to be whole; reconciliation requires two people, but healing only requires you and God.Watch this message on The Restoration App, Facebook, or YouTube or here: https://restoration.subspla.sh/4hhtzpj#thehappyrabbi #restorationseattle #JewishinSeattle
