Disciples and Fences
Daniel taught on the fences that Yeshua placed around Torah in Matthew 5 and how those fences both protect the Torah and prepare us to be better disciples.
The Bread of Tomorrow
This week, our guest speaker Toby Janicki taught about the differences between Jewish expectations for Messiah and what’s typically presented as the gospel. As believers, we need to remember that we’re saved for something, not just from something. As disciples, we should be transforming the world around us through our lives, preparing the way for Messiah’s return.

Yeshua’s Torah and Disciples
Beyond the Beattitudes: Salt and Light
In this week’s message, Brant examined Yeshua’s radical call to discipleship–everything that we do should be informed by G-d and should reflect His image. Discipleship involves four things: dedication, memorization, imitation, and replication. The highest aspiration of a disciple is to be like their Master (Yeshua) in every way and to make more disciples.
HaShem’s Model for Marriage in Three Words
This week, Brant’s examines three “words” from Exodus 20 that describe HaShem’s plan for the ideal marriage—His marriage with Israel—and how they apply and describe a biblical marriage that all couples should seek to emulate.
Beatitudes: The Peacemakers
In this week’s message, Brant continues our study of the Beatitudes, picking up in Matthew 5:9. It’s not easy to make peace, but Yeshua’s teachings require us to take steps to make peace, to turn this world right-side up, if we’re going to expand the kingdom of heaven here and now. We’re called to bring change to the world around us in a way that reflects and honors…
Hope
In this week’s message, our guest speaker Tod McDowell brought us a word about tikvah (hope). He taught about where hope comes from (Col. 1.27) and how we need hope to be able to walk out our lives by faith.
Beatitudes: The Pure in Heart
In this week’s message, Brant explores what it means to be “pure in heart” (Psalm 24:3-5) and how we become “pure in heart”. Do we seek to live a life of integrity, doing the “right” thing even when we know it won’t be rewarded here on earth and may even cost us? Or are we conformed to the world around us?
Beatitudes: Mercy for the Merciful
Brant continues in our study of the Beatitudes by exploring Matthew 5:7. From Moshe in Exodus to us today, we all need mercy. HaShem is “compassionate and gracious” (merciful), but He expects His children to extend mercy to others, showing our compassion for them and mirroring His compassion for us.
