B'Midbar - "In The Wilderness"

Naso - "Take Up"

Parasha Naso highlights God’s call for His people to be meticulously organized and completely devoted to His presence. Naso teaches the strict purity laws required to maintain a holy camp, the voluntary Nazarite vows for those seeking a deeper personal walk with God, and the foundational Priestly Blessing.

God’s Love Part 3 – God’s Love & Our Response

This week Rabbi Jerry discusses Luke 18 and 19, which contrasts different responses to God's Grace. He compares the self-righteous Pharisee and the hesitant rich young ruler against the deeply humble tax collectors. Ultimately, Believers are challenged to emulate Zacchaeus by responding to the Lord's invitation with immediate, joyful obedience and genuine, life-altering repentance.

The Problem Of Legalism

Rabbi Loren preaches on the problem of legalism, prioritizing external rule-keeping and Sinai Covenant obligations over a living relationship with God. Pointing to Yeshua's ministry and the teachings of the early church, he emphasizes that believers are saved and made complete entirely by God's grace through faith, rather than by observing the Torah, Sabbaths, or dietary laws. Ultimately, true righteousness and spiritual fulfillment are found not in the "shadows" of external religious rituals, but in the reality of the Messiah and inner transformation through the Holy Spirit.

God’s Love Part 2 - The Unmerited Favor of His Heart

This week Rabb Jerry continues his discussion of God’s infinite and unchanging love through His deep mercy for the distressed, His unearned grace for sinners, and His patient persistence. Through the work of Messiah Yeshua, believers receive the unmerited gift of salvation and forgiveness, demonstrating that God moves toward our suffering rather than away from it. In response to this limitless compassion and patience, we are called to approach God confidently in our brokenness and extend that same relentless forgiveness to others.
