Where is God's Power in the Midst of the Journey

The Canadian Thanksgiving holiday is not simply a time for reflection, but gathering our energy for a new start, to look forward in the joy of the Lord towards new possibilities.

Thanksgiving: New Beginnings

How do we make sense of the challenging text of Ecclesiastes? A thorough study of its connection with the themes of Sukkot and the life of King Solomon opens up our appreciation of this highly controversial book which is read every year during the festival of joy.

We explore some of the deeper meanings of Israel's pilgrimage fall festival and how they inspire greater faith, hope and trust in God's love for each of us.  

Sukkot: A Pilgrimage of Faith Hope and Love

As Ben reflects on the Scriptures and traditions of Yom Kippur as a follower of Yeshua, he seeks to answer the question: how can we understand its significance today?  

Ben Volman: Yom Kippur, What Does It Mean?

What is the secret of Israel's immortality? How has God sustained us through the centuries? The answer is in His covenant faithfulness, both to Israel and all those who trust in Him and walk in the footsteps of Avraham.

Life Beyond Life

In Deuteronomy 12:10 ff. we find the essential instruction for the building of a Temple--an instruction that gives us unique insight into the real meaning of the Temple--"the place Adonai your God chooses to have his name live."

The Heart of the Temple and the Temple of the Heart

In Parashat Ki Tavo, Moshe prepares Israel to set their moral compass on the verge of entering the Holy Land. As they walk between two mountains, one of curses and another of blessings, they must take hold of their true identity as God's people called in covenant but sustained by grace.

Is God Listening to Me

On this special sabbath which follows Tisha B'Av, we take time to reflect on the believer's true source of comfort, the Holy Spirit. We study Yeshua's instructions concerning the Spirit in Luke 4 (and also Isaiah 60) and then John 14: his final address to the disciples in which he promises the gift of "the Comforter."   Message given on July 24, 2021

Shabbat Nachamu: Comfort For God's People

Shabbat Chazon: Erev Tisha B'Av 2021

Brought by Dr. Chanan and Nechama Wiseman.  Dr. and Mrs. Wiseman have ministered for many years to the Israeli Messianic community and are known for being outstanding leaders, mentors and teachers.  After sharing from the Scriptures, Dr. and Mrs. Wiseman answered questions from our congregation including reflections on current events in Israel.  

Devotional from Hebrews 10 and Report from Israel

As Bil'am the soothsayer is compelled to speak the words of God he is overcome by the Spirit, but only momentarily. The internal spiritual war within Bil'am confronts us with a situation that leads us to reflect deeply on our own journey under God's grace.

Reflections on Bil'am Ben B'or, Part 2

The fascinating interlude in Numbers sometimes called the "Book of Bil'am" gives each of us pause to reflect on what motivates us when we know that God must be the ultimate guide to our lives.
