Show Me Your Glory
Why did Moses ask one of the strangest questions in the Torah: “Show me Your glory”? Most people read this moment as a mystical encounter between Moses and God. But what if that’s not what’s happening at all? What if Moses wasn’t asking for himself—but for Israel? In the aftermath of the golden calf, when God threatens not to go with His people, Moses makes a bold request that reshapes Israel’s future. Why does God respond by declaring His character instead of showing His power? And how does this moment become the foundation for the Tabernacle, Leviticus, forgiveness, and ultimately the story of Yeshua? This is where everything begins.

The Two Sides of You
Are you building for God… or building for yourself? Last week we talked about impressing God. But what happens when ambition turns into idolatry? The Torah hints at something profound in the double yod of Vayeitzer — two inclinations, two Adams, two sides of you. Are you Adam 1 — the builder, achiever, dominion-taker? Or Adam 2 — the seeker, the covenant soul longing for connection? What if you were made to be both? This teaching explores the tension between drive and devotion, work and worship, yetzer hara and yetzer hatov — and why suppressing either one may cost you your calling. Which side of you is winning?

Is it wrong to want God to be impressed by your life? We’re told over and over: don’t strive, don’t try too hard, don’t “earn” what’s already been given. But is that what Scripture actually teaches? Does grace eliminate effort — or ignite it? From the Tabernacle to the parable of the talents, the Bible paints a picture of partnership, not passivity. What if God isn’t threatened by your obedience… but delighted by it? What if striving to please Him isn’t legalism — but relationship? Let’s wrestle with the tension between grace and building, salvation and sanctification, love and effort.

You Were A Stranger
Have you ever discovered something so life-changing that you felt others had been misled? But what if the way you share that truth is pushing people further away? In Parashat Mishpatim, the Torah commands us to return a lost object. What if that “lost object” is faith itself? What if our Jewish and Christian brothers and sisters aren’t rebellious—but simply unaware? Are you dropping crumbs of truth that awaken curiosity… or truth bombs that cause damage? This message explores empathy, responsibility, and how to draw people close to Torah without weaponizing it. You were once a stranger. How will you treat the strangers around you?

Don’t know where to start?
This series will introduce you to Jesus in His Jewish context.
The Jewish Jesus
It sounds so simple and obvious: The Jewish Jesus. But this essential truth has been lost to nearly all of his followers. Why has the Jewishness of Jesus been downplayed or even denied throughout a large part of history? Why is this one simple fact critical to our relationship with him?
