Gospel Portions: Torah Tidbits – Episode 17
The Will of God: Stretch Forth
In this powerful episode of Gospel Portions: Torah Tidbits, Shirah Chante dives into Mark chapters 3 and 4, exploring the healing of the man with the withered hand and what it reveals about the will of God.
When Jesus said, “Stretch forth your hand,” healing followed obedience. But before that miracle came resistance, criticism, and hardened hearts. What does this teach us about faith, action, and the Sabbath?
Connecting the Gospel of Mark with the Torah (Exodus 20) and the prophet Isaiah (Isaiah 54), Shirah unpacks a powerful truth:
✨ The Sabbath was made for man.
✨ God values mercy over ritual.
✨ Healing often requires participation.
✨ Stretching forth is an act of faith.
Whether you’re facing spiritual barrenness, delayed promises, unfulfilled desires, or waiting on God for breakthrough, this episode challenges you not to sit in discouragement—but to stand forth and stretch forth.
Are you waiting on God? Or is God waiting on you to move?
Listen in and be encouraged to trust, obey, and act in faith while believing God for restoration and fulfillment.
