I Want To Impress God
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?

The Bridge
Is Messianic Judaism really a bridge between Christianity and Judaism… or have we misunderstood the mission entirely? What if the “bridge” isn’t an institution — but you? What if the valley of doubt, loss, and confusion you walked through wasn’t a mistake… but construction? Why does spiritual growth require descent? Why do some quit in the valley while others come out as builders? And why would that make you “dangerous” to certain voices? This teaching reframes the journey, the struggle, and your calling. You’re not just learning truth. You’re being shaped into a guide. The bridge the world needs may already be built — in you.

Forget January
What if your January goals didn’t fail because you lack discipline… but because you picked the wrong season? Why does the world shout “Start now!” while your body feels tired, slow, and unmotivated? What if growth doesn’t follow Rome’s calendar — but God’s? There’s a reason trees don’t bloom in winter. There’s a reason the sap rises before the fruit appears. And there’s a reason your moment isn’t about instant transformation, but internal awakening. Could it be that you’re not behind… you’re just early? Discover why Tu BiShvat — the New Year for Trees — reveals how real growth actually begins, and why your “later” might finally be… now.
Sermon Series
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?
