Making excuses when one wants to escape a duty or undesirable situation is built into the human condition. Some may call them little “white lies” or whatever.However, when someone begins a Torah-pursuant walk, the excuses must end. There is no place in the Kingdom of Elohim where making excuses is tolerated. To make his point, Elder Jackson takes us on a journey through some examples throughout Scripture and exhorts all Torah-pursuant people to drop the flimsy excuses - to step up and get their jobs done for the Kingdom.• Intro• What is an excuse?• Exodus 12:31-35 – Prep day 1• Exodus 16:1-4 – Our excuses are just drama & negative emotion to others• Genesis 3:12 – Why do we make excuses?• Exodus 32:1-23 – The golden calf and Aaron’s excuse• Luke 14:15-26 – The great banquet and the invitation with no time or date• Psalm 27:1-6 – Two sides of a kingListen to the Afterburn tomorrowTake advantage of new teachings every week.

What was your Upper Room and Mt. Sinai experience?Rabbi Steve Berkson gives the floor to a few people to tell their stories of how they came into commitment in the context of Messiah so that you could hear and relate the experience of others with your own.
