"Draw Near or Drift Away: Choose Peace or Panic?" (Lev. 26) - Bechukotai - 05/22/25

Will you walk in peace—or spiral into panic?

In this powerful message from Leviticus 26, Rabbi Cosmo Panzetta unpacks the covenant choice that still stands before us: Draw near to God and live under His blessing, or drift away and face the unraveling that follows.

God’s invitation to walk in His ways isn’t about rule-following—it’s about relationship. It's a call to closeness without pretense, holiness through love, and hope even after failure. This chapter doesn’t end in judgment—it ends with mercy. Because even when we rebel, God still remembers His covenant.

If you've ever wondered why peace seems out of reach—or how to return when you've wandered—this message is for you.
