Faith or Fantasy? What Are You Really Following (Num. 14:39-45; 15:37-41) Sh’lach (שְׁלַח) “Send”

Friday, June 20, 2025


What if the real danger isn’t failing—but attempting to succeed without God? In this powerful message from Parashat Sh’lach(Numbers 13–15), Rabbi Cosmo explores the deeper reason Israel rebelled at the edge of the Promised Land. Was it fear of giants… or fear of responsibility? 


Learn why trusting God’s voice—not just His promises—is the heart of true faith. This teaching unpacks what it means to walk in obedience, avoid spiritual presumption, and live marked by the presence of God.


📖 Featuring insights from Numbers 14, Joshua 2, and Hebrews 3–4.
