Seeds Of Bad Fruit: Adultery

In this long awaited teaching, we focus on Galatians 5 and began an in-depth study on the works of the flesh. We have all heard messages on the fruit of the Spirit, but not many pastors get into the works of the flesh. The problem with this is that we can not truly walk in the Spirit if we are still walking in the lust of the flesh. We have ben taught to copy the fruit of the Spirit, but we lack the total victory that comes with it because we have not defeated the works of the flesh. In this ser...

A Contrast Between Two Pools

In this episode we look into the Book of John to discuss two particular healings that revolved around two pools. We discuss the relevance of "washing" and just why Yeshua often told people to go wash after being healed. One of the stories that we will spend a lot of time on will no doubt blow some of your minds as you learn things you may not have heard before, and how some of the songs we have even been taught are actually based on pagan myths and not biblical facts Send us a text

What's Love Got To Do With It?

Love is such a complex topic. Many of us say we "love", but the definition of love varies from person to person. The Greeks had four different words to define love, whereas in the Hebrew, there is only one, and thats the way God see's it. In this episode we explore the nature of love, what it looks like, and how to determine if our profession of love lines up with our actions. Send us a text

Birth Pains

In this episode, we talk more about the "birth pains" that Yeshua mentioned to His disciples as He explained about the signs of His return. Things appear to have so crazy within the past few weeks, and although many of us would like to see there be peace with Israel, but the reality is, there will not be any peace. As we draw closer to the end, there will be even more conflict and anti-semitism against Israel. If this be the case, then what are we supposed to pray if these are things prophesied ...

Dark Times Coming

This was a re-recording from a message done in church today. In light of all of the terrible things going on in Israel, it seemed fitting to address a topic that went along with the war, and all of the divisiveness connected to to out. Send us a text

Sukkot 2023: Leviticus 22:26-23:44

In this weeks reading, in honor of Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles), we get into the significance of all of the Holy Days, leading up to Sukkot, and how they connect to our Messiah. Although most churches are opposed to recognizing these Biblical Holy Days, due to lack of understanding of them, perhaps after hearing this episode and maybe doing an in-depth personal study on this topic, some of their views just might change Send us a text

Parashah Ha'azinu: Deuteronomy 32:1-52

In this weeks Parashah, Moses continues teaching the people the poem that YHVH told him to teach the people. This poem was to be a witness against future generations that could come and begin to break faith with YHVH. As a witness against these later generations, having been taught from generation to generation, the people would be without excuse when these things would come upon them. It ends with YHVH instructing Moses to ascend Mt Nebo, where he was to die and be gathered to his kin. Send us...

Entering Into His Presence

This is a re-recording of a message I did a few weeks ago. How do you envision what it is to enter into the presence of YHVH? In our Western culture, having never had a king, the idea of "reverence" is lost on us. Many of us have an idea of what it means, however, this is lost on a vast majority of believers, and because of this, it hinders the move of God from operating the way it truly desires. As we ponder this question, let us take a deeper look into this matter and see how we can correct it...

Yom Teruah Reading: Genesis 21:1-22:24

As the Fall feast begin, we are down to the last couple of chapters of the Book of Deuteronomy, which ends the Torah cycle. This weeks Parasha is dedicated to a theme that connects with Yom Teruah, being the first of the Fall Feast. Of the 2 themes, we focus on the binding of Isaac, and how this event is connected to one of the shofar blasts done during the Yom Teuah service Send us a text

Parasha Nitzavim-Vayeleich: Deuteronomy 29:9-31:30

In Nitzavim (“Standing”), Moses addresses the Israelites, emphasizing the importance of following God’s covenant and of not worshiping other gods. He describes the process of repentance and returning to God, and stresses that God’s commandments are achievable and “not in the heavens.” Vayeilech (“He Went”) opens as Moses tells the Israelites that he will not lead them into the Land of Israel, and that Joshua will take over. He instructs the Israelites to gather and read Torah publicly every seve...

Parasha Ki Tavo: Deut 26:1-29:8

In this weeks parasha, we highlight one of the most well known chapters in the Torah, Deuteronomy 28. Everyone knows about this chapter, and churches all over enjoy citing the blessings mentioned for obeying God. We also know about the curses associated with not obeying God, but one of the biggest issues is that they fail to realize that these blessings for obeying YHVH are connected to them obeying His Torah. So on the one hand, they cheer about being recipients of the blessings while on the ot...

Parasha Shoftim: Deut 16:18-21:9

In this weeks parasha, we get into "shoftim" the Hebrew word for "judges", and discuss the criteria for judges. One of the most interesting points about this parasha is that when discussing these judges, they are commanded to not be biased when judging, but rather call right right and wrong wrong, regardless of who the people are. In the case where the matter is to difficult, the people are commanded to go before the priests, who stand before YHVH, seeing as the stand before Him daily, their rul...

Parasha Re'eh: Deuteronomy 11:26-16:17

In this weeks episode, we read Parasha Re'eh, which mean see. Moses continues going over the history of Israel after crossing the Red Sea. Among the topics that Moses reiterates, we find him addressing idolatry, false prophets, dietary laws, and the year of release. In the midst of these topics, Moses continues to impress in the minds of Israel the importance of hearing, guarding and obeying the right rulings and ordinance of YHVH that it would not only go well with them, but their children as w...

Table Talk: Come Let Us Reason Together

I really wanted to share my heart on a topic that had being weighing on me for a few weeks now. This is one episode I would love to see go viral to all of my church family both known and unknown, with the intent that it might cause us to do a more in depth study on this topic. This is one to share on your social media platforms as well as sending links to the webpage for those who do not use social media. Understanding this is a very controversial topic, fell free to message me on the Torah Awa...

Parasha Eikev: Deut 7:12-11:25

In this weeks episode, Moses continues recanting the history of Israel from the time of Mt Sinai until the present. Moses cannot emphasize enough the importance of them hearing, guarding and obeying YHVH's commands because not only are the life to the people, but observing them will ensure good success for the people. Moses also gives more insight to certain events that were mentioned in previous books but not explained much in detail. One of the highlights of this Torah portion is is Moses assu...

Parasha Va'etchanan: Deuteronomy 3:23-7:11

In this weeks parasha, Moses continues recanting the past events of YHVH from the time that they gathered at Mt Sinai until the present. In the midst of his message to the people, there is a recurring theme being emphasized to them, that he wants to drive to them before he leaves. Fully aware that he is about to die, his last words were words of encouragement and admonition to the people that they might have a good life in the land. This is by far one of the most amazing acts of a selfless leade...

Parasha Devarim

In this weeks episode, we start the final book of the Torah. Deuteronomy, known in the Hebrew as D'varim, which means "words", is the recollection of Moses of all that had taken place from the time that they crossed the Yam Suf (Red Sea), until now. Considering how the book of Numbers ends, it is possible that this may have been what Moses told the people prior to anointing Joshua as his successor, and then heading up the mountain to die. In any case, as we read this book, we find several places...

Parasha Matoot-Masei: Numbers 30:2-36:13

This we week we wrap up the book of Numbers. The hot point for this week was Israel's vengeance on Midian. Interesting that prior to the events of last weeks parashah, Israel had no issue with Midian, but due to them listening to the foolish counsel of Ba'alam, they become a foe to them. Moses once again recounts the history of Israel, beginning with the exodus from Egypt until now. Finally, we end with the topic of marriage to female heirs Send us a text

Parasha Pinchas: Numbers 25:10-30:1

Pinchas is a very interesting parashah. He was known to be a person that was very zealous for the things of YHVH. He was the grandson of Aaron, and as such, was in line to inherit the priesthood after his father Eleazar. He is best known for his actions taken when YHVH sent a plague to destroy the people for so easily being enticed by the Midianite women to participate in their paganistic practices. While the people were being afflicted, Pinchas sees something that enrages him to the point that ...

Table Talk: Lashon Hara

In this episode of Table Talk, we take a look at a very interesting topic, seldom addressed by pastors. Lashon Hara is a Hebrew word often translated as "negative talk", but literally means "an evil tongue". At first glance, one might think that this solely refers to speaking lies about a person, or just flat out disrespecting someone, when in all actuality, it goes much deeper than that. La Shon Hara can also refer to a spoken truth about a person as well. I'm sure at this point you are probabl...
