Mishpatim | An Eye for an Eye. Literally??? 12:13

3M ago12:13

12:13

Why do the vast majority of Yeshua’s followers see the Torah—God’s Law—in a negative light? Maybe it’s due to themes like we have in our current Torah portion. Themes that seem completely unrelatable to lives that are so far removed from our world and worldview. For instance, this week’s reading begins with the laws of slavery. SLAVERY? Are you jok…

Yitro | Should We Fear God? 11:02

3M ago11:02

11:02

Fear is a powerful motivator. But when it comes to fear of God, there are many different perspectives. We all have our ideas of what the fear of God is and isn’t. But what do the Scriptures, themselves, have to say about it and is there a fear to conquer fear? Let’s take a look at this concept in this week’s 5 Minute Torah. Download my Passover Kit…

Beshalach | The Mouth of Freedom 11:48

3M ago11:48

11:48

You've been given all you need to maintain your freedom: A small booklet, a jar of something that smells like it could take paint off a car, and a cracker? Really? This is freedom? Let’s figure out what all of this means in this week’s 5 Minute Torah. Download my Passover Kit: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/su/qCGMJei/passover Maggid Song on Y…

Bo | Radical New Beginnings 11:08

4M ago11:08

11:08

Have you ever gone to an appointment only to be disappointed because the other person didn’t show up? Somehow they got their wires crossed and thought it was at a different time or maybe on a different day. But what if you said, “Let’s meet on Tuesday” but when Tuesday arrived, they never showed up for the appointment? And when you called to check …

Va'era | The Sacred Name Revealed 9:52

4M ago9:52

9:52

There are a lot of names for God used in the Bible. But one name stands out above them all? What is it? Well, it’s been hotly debated over the years, especially with those who have only a remedial knowledge of Hebrew and an axe to grind. However, there is an important reason we should know it. And it’s probably not why you think. What is God’s pers…

Shemot | From Survivors To Thrivers 10:50

4M ago10:50

10:50

Let’s be brutally honest. Sometimes life can be unbearable. Sometimes we find ourselves in a situation beyond our control and we can’t see any way of digging ourselves out. How are we supposed to deal with suffering in this life? Why do we have to suffer anyway? Is there a purpose? And if so, what is it? Well, I believe the Torah has a lesson for h…

Vayechi | From My Heart To Yours 9:34

4M ago9:34

9:34

Have you ever been misunderstood? Or had your words completely turned around on you? Maybe you know what you need to say, but for some reason the words just don’t come out the way you intended. If that’s you, I’ve got a secret that will help. Even if you aren’t the most eloquent communicator, there’s a guaranteed method that will ensure others will…

Vayigash | Can Bad Things Be Good? 7:59

5M ago7:59

7:59

Are you under attack? Spiritual attack? Maybe you feel like the Devil is attacking you right now. But what if it’s not the Devil that you’re fighting against? What if it’s actually a power MUCH greater than the Devil? If you want to know how to win the spiritual battle you’re in and how to have victory in circumstances that are beyond your control,…

Messiah Unmasked | Mikeitz 10:28

5M ago10:28

10:28

If you’re familiar with this show then you already know that I’m Messianic. I’m not a Messianic Jew, but a Messianic Gentile. What does that mean? It means that I believe in the ongoing validity of the Torah and that Yeshua (Jesus) is the long-awaited Messiah of Israel. Messianic Jews are simply Jews who believe these same things. But the vast majo…

Torah Portion Vayeishev | No Rest For The Weary 11:31

5M ago11:31

11:31

Let’s face it. Life can be brutal. It can be extremely harsh & unrelenting. It seems that at every turn we face heartache, loss, & brokenness in some form or fashion. From broken relationships to health concerns and even, God-forbid, the loss of a loved one. Sometimes life seems to beat us down until we don’t have the strength to fight back. If thi…

Wrestling for a Blessing | Vayishlach 11:14

5M ago11:14

11:14

Is there anything in your life worth fighting for? I mean… REALLY fighting for. Most people don’t have a whole lot to fight for—nothing that really has any meaning. Sure, many people will go to extreme lengths for money because they are driven by greed. But there are very few people who would be willing to fight for much of anything else… fighting …

Vayeitze | Make Me Like Dust 10:10

6M ago10:10

10:10

Dust. It’s everywhere. No matter where you go or where you turn, you’ll find dust. It’s frustrating. But it’s just the way of life and no matter how hard you clean, dust will eventually find its way back into every nook & cranny, every crack & crevice. It’s a never-ending battle that we can all relate to, especially if you have allergies as bad as …

Torah Portion: Toldot | Messianic Commentary | The Power of Prayer 10:38

6M ago10:38

10:38

Why? Sometimes you just have to ask that question. Why? Why did this have to happen? Why can’t things work out the way we need them to? Why do we have so much pain and suffering? But maybe the bigger question is “How do we respond in those times?” Do we run away from God, or hold on tighter? Because how we respond can determine what happens next. S…

Torah Portion: Chayei Sarah | Messianic Commentary | Identity In Anonymity 11:09

6M ago11:09

11:09

In Acts 11, we read that the disciples of Yeshua were first called Christians in Antioch. Was this because they wanted to distinguish themselves from the Jews? Was it because they were starting a new religion and needed a new name for themselves? Neither of these reasons is accurate. It doesn’t say that they called THEMSELVES Christians. It says th…

Parashat Vayeira | Cloning From Abraham's DNA 10:16

6M ago10:16

10:16

For those of you who have been around a while, you may have heard of Dolly the Sheep—the first mammal to be successfully cloned from an adult somatic cell. After Dolly, other animals were successfully cloned: cats, deer, dogs, horses, mules, oxen, rabbits, and rats. Although the ethical debate over these creations was heated, the most troubling mor…

Dangerous Rainbows | Parashat Noach 8:04

7M ago8:04

8:04

Who doesn’t love the beauty of a giant rainbow hanging in the sky, especially after a week of nothing but rain? The rain has stopped. The sun is out. The birds are singing once again. And a beautiful rainbow fills the sky to remind us how God is smiling down on us … But is that really what’s going on? Or is there something far more dangerous associ…

Parashat B'reisheet | The Devil Made Me Do It 9:41

7M ago9:41

9:41

Eve was the beloved helpmate whom God gave to Adam. But she listened to the voice of the serpent and fell under his spell, eating from the forbidden fruit. Cain was Adam & Eve’s firstborn son. And he listened to the Enemy’s temptation and murdered his brother, Abel. There is a voice inside all of us that we hear from time to time, luring us into ma…

Parashat Vezot Habracha | Imitating God 9:30

7M ago9:30

9:30

Have you ever wanted to be just like someone else? And because you want that so badly, you started acting like them—dressing like them, doing your hair like them, talking like them, etc. While that may not be the most healthy thing you can do, there is a form of imitation that is extremely healthy and will enrich your life. Want to know more? Then …

The Torah & The Resurrection | Parashat Ha'azinu 9:25

8M ago9:25

9:25

Heaven… Glory Land. The Celestial City. The Land Beyond… Where there will be no more tears, no more sorrow, no more pain… The eternal reward of those in Christ and the resting place of the saints… Or is it??? Is Heaven our eternal destination? Is our hope to one day walk the streets of gold in this place called Heaven? Or have we misunderstood what…

Parashat Vayelech | Torah for the Nations 9:05

8M ago9:05

9:05

Gentiles and Torah… That’s a topic that is guaranteed to either find your new best friend or start a fight. Are Gentiles obligated to the Torah in the same way as Jews or is there a difference in how we should live out the commandments? Are we only bound to the Noahide Laws or are those even a thing? If you’re curious about these questions and more…

Parashat Nitzavim | Circumcise Me Twice 7:40

8M ago7:40

7:40

In the book of Genesis, God told Abraham to circumcise all of the males in his household. This is a physical circumcision, a perpetual sign of God’s covenant with the family of Abraham from generation to generation. However, in this week’s Torah portion, God gives us another command regarding a second circumcision. Wait? A double-circumcision? Isn’…

The Responsibility of Influence | Parshat Ki Tavo 9:11

8M ago9:11

9:11

How would it make you feel if you saw someone leading a blind person off a cliff? What if you watched one of your friends buying a worthless rustbucket of a car for an outlandish price, knowing that the seller was completely ripping him off? It’s one thing for people to make bad decisions. It’s another thing, however, for someone to intentionally u…

Ki Tetze | Restoring The Lost 7:06

9M ago7:06

7:06

Have you ever lost something important? Maybe a wallet, or a set of keys, or maybe even a wedding ring? Many times you don’t even realize it’s gone until it’s too late. But when you realize it’s missing, your heart sinks and you begin a desperate search to find it. How would you feel if you had just left the grocery store and were about to get into…

Torah Portion Shoftim | Love And War, And Everything In Between 7:15

9M ago7:15

7:15

This week’s Torah portion says that an animal offering with a single blemish is considered an “abomination.” Is the God of the Old Testament so caught up in things being perfect that He can’t accept something simply because it comes from the heart? Why does the Torah seem to be so concerned over these petty matters? If you’d like an honest answer t…

Parashat Re'eh | Signs & Wonders 8:38

9M ago8:38

8:38

We’ve all seen televangelists captivate the world with apparently supernatural abilities. Signs & wonders, miraculous healings or physical manifestations that defy human reasoning. Prophetic utterances that come to pass just as they were spoken. Aren’t all of these signs of a true prophet? Maybe… or maybe not. Let’s take a look at this concept toge…

Parashat Eikev | The Making of a New Man 6:48

9M ago6:48

6:48

Righteousness & wickedness: two terms that seem to be cut & dry. But are they really? Is each person held to the exact same standard? Is the standard, “One Law For All?” It would seem that way, but maybe they aren’t as black and white as they appear? Does that sound… blasphemous? Then you might want to hang around and see what’s in store, in this w…

Va'etchanan | No Religious Discounts 5:22

10M ago5:22

5:22

Quite often I hear people say, “It’s not about what we do because God looks at the heart.” While this is true to an extent, are our actions somehow separate from our hearts? Or … do they reflect what’s in our hearts? Not sure what I mean? Let’s explore this idea together in this week’s 5 Minute Torah.…

Moses & The Rabbis | Messianic Commentary on Torah Portion Devarim 6:43

10M ago6:43

6:43

Judaism claims to have an oral tradition that dates all the way back to Sinai. It includes teachings, interpretations, & rulings on every aspect of Torah. But did this come from Sinai or is it a much later addition invented by the rabbis after the destruction of the Temple? I’m glad you asked, because this is our topic in this week’s 5 Minute Torah…

Mattot-Massei | The Death of the Righteous 7:10

10M ago7:10

7:10

The death, burial, and resurrection of Yeshua is central to our faith. His death is seen as the ultimate sacrifice that would forever replace the Levitical sacrificial system of the Temple. But this is a huge problem. According to the passages in the Torah that spell out the parameters of a sacrifice, Yeshua—or any other person for that matter—does…

Parashat Pinchas | The High Price of Peace 6:53

10M ago6:53

6:53

What are you willing to trade for peace? What lengths are you willing to go to in order to have peace? What are you willing to sacrifice for peace? Some are willing to trade land for peace. Some are willing to stand and fight a corrupt legal system for peace. Others are willing to sacrifice their lives so that their children and grandchildren will …

Chukat-Balak | What's Your Super Power? 6:50

If you could be a superhero, who would it be? Would it be Superman, Batman, Captain America, Spiderman? What if you could choose your own superpower? What would it be? Super strength? Invisibility? The ability to fly? Breathing underwater? While all of those are really cool and would be absolutely amazing, we all already have a superpower that was …

Korach | Follow Your Heart? 6:20

11M ago6:20

6:20

“Follow your heart!” I’m sure you’ve heard this expression your entire life and I would venture to say that you’ve probably used it yourself a time or two. You’ll find it in almost every book and hear it in almost every movie. It’s a common expression that people use to say, “Don’t let anything hold you back. Just go with your gut and follow your d…

Shelach | The Eyes Of The Heart 6:20

11M ago6:20

6:20

Humans are unique among all of the animals on earth in that we are the only living creatures that have a soul—the godly part of us that can be enticed through our senses, yet have the will to walk away if we perceive there is something better for us than what our flesh craves. We are a product of both heaven and earth, and each moment of each day w…

Beha'alotcha | The Power of a Positive Attitude 6:22

11M ago6:22

It’s difficult to be around negative people, especially in the middle of difficult circumstances. In this week’s Torah portion, Moses deals with many difficult situations but comes through them with a positive attitude and unyielding faith in God. How did he do it, and what can we learn from this great leader? Let’s explore these concepts together …

Torah Portion Tzav - Keep the Fire Burning 4:52

1y ago4:52

4:52

Fire. I can sit and watch a fire for hours on end. I love seeing the flames dance around and hear the crackle of the wood as it’s lapped up and consumed by the blazing heat. I also love the smell of meat being roasted over a fire—the fragrant aroma of beef or poultry making my mouth water as it slowly cooks to perfection. I have a feeling many of y…

Vayikra | Beam Me Up, Scotty! 6:42

6:42

Is the book of Leviticus only about blood, guts, scabs, lesions, bodily discharges, slaughtering animals and other cult rituals? I believe if we look deeply enough we’ll see the beauty of God’s instructions and the opportunities He has given to His people. Let’s take a look together in this week’s 5 Minute Torah.…

Zeal, Tzitzit, Knowledge, and Humility | Vayakhel-Pekudei 5:19

1y ago5:19

5:19

I like oatmeal. And I like garlic. But trust me … they don’t go together. We’ve all done it. We like one thing and we like another and then we think, “Hey! Let’s put those two things together and we’ll have the best of both worlds!” We all know how that turns out. Or maybe it’s something like, “The instructions say to put one drop of Gorilla Glue p…

There are some things in life that you can live with just having half: half a sandwich, half a cup of coffee, half a sheet of paper, half off the retail price, etc. But there are other things that just don’t work when you only have half: Half a water bottle. Half a bag. Half a shoe. Half a brain. Even worse than these is Half a Person. But yet ther…

If a person came up to you and said, “I’ll give you $1 million to take your place in Heaven or take your share in the World to Come” (depending on your theological paradigm) … What would you say? Would you take it? What if they offered you $100 million? What about $1 billion? Is there anything anyone could offer you that would be appealing enough f…

Terumah | Lessons From The Holy Ark 5:27

1y ago5:27

5:27

Hypocrisy. Scandal. Corruption. Phony. Fake. These are words that come to mind when many people think of religion. Why? Because often religious people love to wear their religion on the outside so that they look good in the face of the public, but are inwardly a different person altogether. Yeshua rebuked his peers for this hypocrisy. He has called…

Mishpatim | Are Gentiles Really Dogs? 6:52

1y ago6:52

6:52

Sometimes what we read in the Scriptures inspires us. Sometimes it comforts us. But sometimes it rebukes us. And, if we’re honest, sometimes it even shocks us. Matthew 15 records what may be the most politically INCORRECT statement in the New Testament. A Canaanite woman, driven to desperation, comes to Yeshua to request healing for her demon-posse…
