SHABBAT SERVICE
Saturdays @ 10:30AM
Here at The Seed of Abraham Fellowship on Merritt Island, we believe that community fellowship is vital to our relationship with God and spiritual growth as a body of believers. Every Saturday we gather together to worship and read the Torah portion with Tom Bradford. Following Tom’s teaching, we will sit down for a Fellowship Meal (Oneg). All are welcome and drinks are provided.

Deuteronomy
PARASHAH 48
SHOFTIM | Are Judges REALLY Necessary for a Just Society?
Duration: 31:38
Overview
When we can’t follow the Rules of the Law, What do we do? Follow “The Spirit” of it?
Here in Deuteronomy it lays out how God’s people administer righteous judgment—not by power or popularity, but by Mishpat Tzedek / משפט צדק (righteous justice) that flows from His moral code. Tom shows how Shoftim “judges” are authorized trusted authorities to rule on cases even help with some that may not be explicit in Torah, why human institutions (courts/churches) can help—until they drift from God’s mission—and how Yeshua affirmed this framework while calling out hypocrisy. For modern believers, Torah is our Believer’s Constitution: we pursue righteousness (Tzedek / צֶדֶק ), ONLY RIGHTEOUSNESS, discerning the spirit of the Law to judge fairly, reject favoritism/bribes, and walk in God’s ways in complex times.
