Have you ever experienced a bad signal on your radio or television? Or maybe you have gone through a “dead spot” with your cell phone and the connection was dropped. A similar thing happens in life when wicked people around us exert influence that blurs our spiritual clarity. This is nothing new. David describes this phenomenon in this psalm and even structured the psalm’s verses to reflect this s...

King Solomon was a student of the Torah and was undoubtedly familiar with this Torah portion. He even seems to have commented on it in the book of Proverbs using a very clever play on words … a purposeful misspelling, actually. This is an insight that you would never find without looking at the original Hebrew. For more teachings by Grant Luton (and to print the notes), visit our website: https://...

How many ways can you say ‘eternity’? We discover several ways – or approximations, anyway – in Psalm 9, which is a song of thanksgiving. This is also our first acrostic psalm (whose verses follow the order of the Hebrew alphabet) – well, halfway through the alphabet, that is. The last half of the alphabet picks up in Psalm 10. (But that’s another story.) This amazing psalm is full of twists and t...

Is it possible to 'see' God? The answer is a little tricky since there are different ways of seeing. But God very much wants us to see Him, and He has provided a means by which we can do just that. In this lesson, we will learn where we can go if we truly want to see God. For more teachings by Grant Luton (and to print the notes), visit our website: https://www. TorahTodayMinistries.org...

Who wants to read a book called “Numbers”?! This book gets its English name from the censuses found at the beginning and the end. (I know. Sounds boring, doesn’t it!) But there is a truly incredible insight hidden here that you will find astonishing. This Torah portion also includes the only place where a Hebrew letter is broken in two. What could this possibly mean? Listen and find out. For more...

Many biblical Hebrew words have this amazing feature – they can have two (or more) meanings that seem to be completely unrelated. But (and this is the truly amazing part), they always do have some beautiful spiritual relationship. This episode of The Hebrew key takes a look at just such a word.

"Baptism" is definitely Christianity's least understood ritual. What is the essence of this practice and how has it been observed in the Torah and throughout Judaism?

What is Satan's relationship to God? What is his relationship to you? Balaam's donkey ride to curse Israel is one of the most instructive episodes in the Bible for those who want to gain insight into who Satan really is.

This psalm is the natural follow up to Psalm 7. There, David had really been through the mill (or should I say “press”?), but here he gives voice to the wonderful things that were the outcome of his testings through pressure.

Yeshua said that God could use stones to raise up sons for Abraham. There is a brilliant play on words going on here that reveals itself only in the Hebrew. And while we're on the subject of stones, let's address the question of why Yeshua is called a "stone of stumbling and a rock of offense".

Does every “believer” have the right to refer to himself/herself as a “Christian”? What, according to the Scriptures, is a Christian?

A Psalm for Deliverance From Confusion David is very confused. He may have done something wrong, but he isn’t sure. If he did do something wrong, what was it? And if he didn’t do something wrong, then why does he feel so guilty? Does this sound familiar to you in your own life – in the midst of your own confusion? This is one of the most difficult psalms to make sense of, but it is well worth the...

Christians often say that they are “saved”. But saved from what? Is salvation from “Hell” what Yeshua came to accomplish? Or is there a more immediate problem from which we need rescued? In this lesson we will take a fresh look at what the Scriptures have to say about this often misunderstood word – “salvation”. For more teachings by Grant Luton (and to print the notes), visit our website: https:/...

Christians tend to think of salvation as a line in the sand; you are either on one side or the other. But the Scriptures speak of how we have been saved (past tense), how we are being saved (present tense), and how we will be saved (future tense). How can this be? Salvation is a process that perfectly fits the make-up of mankind. Let me explain… For more teachings by Grant Luton (and to print the...

This is the first of 55 psalms that are composed “for the Conductor” (למנצח, lam’natzeach ). We focus on this interesting word and discover that it has a military connotation.

We’ve all been there. You are sad, or ill, or both, and the whole world looks gloomy and you feel like everyone is against you. David felt the exact same way, at times. How is a person supposed to pray under such a burden of emotions? In this study we will see a subtle way in which David appealed to God as a child to its mother. We will also learn one the Bible’s most important words – chesed (חסד...

There are no religious words in the Bible – at least none that I can find. Of course, our English translations are filled with religious terminology. But the original Hebrew and Greek scriptures are written completely in the common vernacular of the day. This series seeks to help us strip away the religious jargon that has encrusted the clear and beautiful message of the Bible. By returning to the...

“Church” – The Most Misunderstood Word in the Bible (Part 1) Our first discussion in this series deals with what I believe to be the most misunderstood word used in religious circles today. Most people think that the “church” is something that started in the New Testament. Some think that a ‘church’ is a building. I could fill this page listing the misunderstandings that people have about this con...
