Torah Awakenings

This is a re-recorded version of a teaching I recently did at church. This version differs from the original recording in that this version goes more into the things I had studied in preparation for service. The overall focus is to understand that we are nothing in the presence of YHVH, and that the moment we understand this, YHVH becomes even bigger than we ever imagined, and once this is realize...

In this weeks parashah, Moses receives instructions from YHVH on erecting the Temple, the Ark, all of the necessary utensils, and the coverings. Moses is given very specific details, covering even the most minute details as it relates to this task. Upon receiving all of the instructions, Moses flawlessly gave these details to all those involved with this project. We take a look into how in depth t...

In this weeks Parashah, we take a look at a handful of principles given to Moses from YHVH. Although it is only a small number of things touched on, in them we can see a few the beginning of what should rightfully be termed as the "Kingdom Mentality". YHVH makes it clear to Moses the the keeping of these "teachings" are the basis of this "covenant relationship" He is...

In this weeks Parashah, we take another look at the humbleness of Moses as a leader. As Yitro (Jethro), his father-in-law checks him on the way he handles judging the people, rather than being prideful and taking offense, he listens to the voice of wise council and implements it into the way he does business in the future. We also get into the establishing of the marriage covenant between YHVH and...

This episode is a re-recording of a message I did at church yesterday. In this episode, we get into the interesting topic of "knowing" God verses "knowing of" God. With so many people claiming to know God today, I just felt the urge to take a deeper look into what it actually looks like to know Him. Taking inspiration from the Gospel of Matthew, we find a parable told by our Lo...

In this parashah, we discuss the trials Moses had to deal with as a representative of YHVH for the people of Israel. Although he was simply the messenger, any little thing that happened became Moses' fault. We discuss lessons learned about leadership from Moses' perspective. We also get into the story of Amalek, and why YHVH wanted his lime blotted from the earth. In this parashah, we re...

In this episode, we get together for an unscripted Table Talk session, where we just discuss random topics from the heart. while reading this weeks Torah Portion, something stuck out to me that I hadn't really noticed before. In reading about the infamous pillar of cloud that separated Israel from Egypt, I happened to look at this particular verse in the Hebrew, and it blew my mind. Join me a...

In this weeks Parashah, we continue with Moses standing before Pharaoh. Eight plagues in, Pharaoh's heart is still hard, and he refuses to recognize Yehovah as God. We take a brief look at what it may have been about Pharaoh that made him so arrogant towards Yehovah, despite the terrible plagues he was forced to deal with.  We also take a a look at the establishing of the Passover and how it...

This is a re-recorded message I recently taught in church. The question is asked, what dies it look like, getting back to the basics. It is a call for the church to come back to a place where our focus was not so much on the four walls of our church, but on ministry opportunities, which are basically positions we find ourselves where an opportunity to share the gospel arises. It is time for us as...

In this weeks Parashah, we get into the showdown between YHVH and Pharaoh. As Moshe and Aharon stand before Pharaoh as ambassadors of the one true God, Pharaoh is determined to stand his ground no matter what. Plague after plague, YHVH consistently shows Himself as God as He renders the various god's of Egypt powerless to stand before Him. As we look into these various plagues, we can only co...

In this weeks parashah, we find that with the death of Joesph and his generation, Israel continues to grow in numbers. With a new king on the throne, one not familiar with Joesph, the Hebrews are viewed as a potential threat to Egypt. Devising a plan to put them in servitude as a means of neutralizing a potential threat, they find that even this wasn't enough to stop them from growing. The ki...

We also find that, it was at this time, where Jacob felt the need to addr...

Before the dawn of man, there was a war raging in heaven, a failed attempt by HaSatan to over Yehovah and reign in His place. Having been utterly defeated, HaSatan focused his wrath towards man.

Having been divided for over a thousand years, the time has come for the...

In this parashah, we get into the birth of Esau and Jacob. Without a doubt one of the most well known stories in Torah. In the midst of everything going on, one of the things that stand out most is how Esau could so easily disregard his birthright for a little food. However, Torah never gives us the answer to this question, leaving us to to wonder and speculate for ourselves. As it would happen, t...
