Changing the Show Title: Broken and Believing - 50
BroKen & Believing | Rev. Kenn Blanchard
Brokenness in the Bible is not a curse but a doorway to grace: it teaches us humility, repentance, and dependence on God, opening the way for healing and transformation. • Brokenness as Humility and Repentance Psalm 51:17 declares, “The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.” This shows that God values a heart that admits weakness and turns back to Him Bible Hub +1. • Brokenness Precedes Renewal The Bible often portrays brokenness as the moment before restoration.

The Sin of Not Resting
BroKen & Believing | Rev. Kenn Blanchard
Biblically, the sin of not resting is seen as disobedience to God’s rhythm of creation and a rejection of trust in His provision. It leads to spiritual dryness, societal injustice, and even exile. Here’s how Scripture frames this: 🕊️ Rest as a Divine Command • God modeled rest in Genesis 2:2–3, blessing the seventh day and sanctifying it. • The Sabbath was not optional—it was a covenant sign between God and Israel (Exodus 31:13–17). • Ignoring rest was treated as rebellion. In Numbers 15:32–36, a man gathering wood on the Sabbath was put to...

info_outlineWhat would Mary do?
This month we are learning about faith. This week we are learning about the faith of Mary, mother of Jesus.
8 INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT MARY THE MOTHER OF JESUS
Fact #1: Mary comes from the Old Testament name Miriam which carries a meaning of bitterness, sorrow and trouble.
Mary was from the tribe of Judah and the lineage of David. This was a. fulfillment of the prophecy (Isaiah 11:1, Jeremiah 23:5-6)
Fact #3: Mary was poor and was raised in a small, remote village called Nazareth.
Fact #4: Mary was uneducated according to the standard of the world but knew God for herself.
Fact #5: Mary was in the first stage of marriage. In Jewish practices, marriages had 3 stages. In the first step was the signing of the contract called a ketubbah.
The couple was married but were not permitted to have sex. That why the Bible says she was betrothed. A betrothal could only be broken by death or divorce.
Which is why although they had not yet engaged in sex, Joseph was going to divorce her.
Fact #6: How old was Mary when she gave birth to Jesus? Betrothal usually happened right after puberty so Mary was likely in her early teens when she became pregnant and gave birth to Jesus.
Fact #7: Due to her pregnancy Mary did not enter the second stage of marriage until after Jesus was born. In this stage, the marriage was consummated. And in the final stage, a celebratory feast was held.
Fact #8: Jesus was Mary’s firstborn. She had other children afterwards (Luke 2:7.) She had four sons and an undisclosed number of daughters (Mark 6:3; Matt 13:55,56)
