The journey from Passover to Tabernacles is extremely difficult and only a precious few will ever make it to the end. What is necessary for a disciple of Yeshua to make it to the Kingdom of God? We discuss a few of those keys to the Kingdom.

Yeshua told His disciples that in order for them to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, their righteousness has to surpass that of the Scribes and Pharisees. Given the terrible reputation these religious leaders had, what did Yeshua mean by that statement? An imputed, grace-based righteousness? Or another righteousness? We break this statement down and search out its answer.

This weekend, millions of Jews and Messianics throughout the world will, in one form or another, endeavor to observe Passover.

This week's Torah Reading touches upon a number of spiritual themes: covenant; God's sovereign providence; and the elect/chosen/predestined status of God's people. So, we seek to answer the question: How do we know if we have been chosen to be in covenant with God?

In Romans 3:31, Paul asserts that he "establishes the law." In stating this, was the great Apostle to the Gentiles validating the necessity of Torah-living for God's people, or something else? We discuss in detail. Shalom and welcome.

We've talked quite a lot about be the importance of being in covenant and operating in covenant. But how does one operate in covenant? What is needed to operate in covenant. Well, this week's Torah Reading may provide us the answers to these questions.  Shabbat Shalom and Welcome.
