Nashville Sabbath Fellowship

The world feels darker with each passing day. In this week’s Haftarah (Isaiah 60), the prophet speaks of that very darkness… and of a light that rises in the midst of it. This teaching reflects on the tragic death of Charlie Kirk, the spiritual meaning of exile, and the redemptive light of Messiah Yeshua that still shines for Israel and the nations.

This week’s parashah calls us to keep our eyes open, to notice what’s lost and take responsibility to return it. From returning stray animals to restoring lost souls, Ki Tetze reminds us that doing the will of God begins with simple acts of care and ends with eternal fruit. In a world chasing fleeting fame, we reflect on what truly lasts and how love, hospitality, and generosity can lead others back to HaShem.

In Parashat Re’eh, Moses calls each of us to see the path of blessing or curse ahead, and to choose wisely. As we enter the month of Elul, a season of reflection, we are invited to move beyond simply recognizing truth to actively partaking in it. Drawing from Yeshua’s words, “I am the bread of life,” we explore what it means to be nourished daily through discipleship, obedience, and hope.

This week’s teaching on Parashat Eikev explores a surprising Hebrew word—eikev, meaning “heel”—and what it reveals about our generation, our mission, and the footsteps of Messiah. In this message, we ask: What does it mean to live faithfully in this "heel" generation? And how can we respond to the call of Yeshua, not only to keep His commandments, but to make disciples and prepare the world to meet the King?

This week’s Torah portion is Va’etchanan, and it falls on Shabbat Nachamu—the Sabbath of Comfort—following the fast of Tisha B’Av. In this teaching, we reflect on Isaiah’s words: “Comfort, comfort my people,” and how they still speak into our world today. We look at how both Jeremiah and Yeshua wept over Jerusalem, and how the Gospels connect the promise of comfort to the coming of the Messiah. In light of rising antisemitism, the ongoing war in Israel, and international pressure against the Jewish people, we ask: Where is the comfort now? Through Scripture, we discover how HaShem’s promise of consolation isn’t just about the future, it gives us strength for today and hope for what’s to come.

This week’s lesson falls on Shabbat Chazon—the Sabbath of Vision—just before the fast of Tisha B’Av. We reflect on the powerful connection between Yeshua’s crucifixion and the destruction of the Temple. What if his death wasn’t only about personal atonement, but also a prophetic sign of the exile that would follow? As we read from Devarim and the haftarah in Isaiah, we’re invited to mourn with Jerusalem, to see the cross not only as a moment of redemption, but as a vision of what was lost and what still lies ahead.

What kind of fruit is growing in your life? In this week's teaching on Matot-Massei and the fig tree in Mark 11, we reflect on what it means when Yeshua comes looking for fruit and finds only leaves. This message weaves together themes of repentance, exile, and restoration, drawing from the wilderness generation, the warnings of the prophets, the Gospels, and the legacy of Paul Philip Levertoff. As we enter the Nine Days of mourning, we're invited to search our own hearts. Are we bearing the fruit of the Spirit? Or just putting on a show?

What does it mean to live with no agenda but God’s? This week in Parashat Pinchas, we explore the idea of bittul—self-emptying devotion to Hashem. Through the bold act of Pinchas and the humble obedience of Yeshua, we learn how surrender becomes a path to peace, power, and spiritual connection. This episode dives deep into the Jewish concept of the tzaddik, our bond with Messiah, and how small choices in everyday life become ways we attach ourselves to Him.

Why would Hamas fear a handful of red cows in Israel? In this week’s parashah, we explore the surprising connection between the ancient commandment of the red heifer, the events of October 7, and the spiritual battle playing out across the world today. From the words of Hamas spokesman, Abu Obeida, to the ashes of the parah adumah, this episode dives into the biblical and prophetic significance behind current events—and how even the rage of the nations may be hastening the coming of Moshiach.

In this week’s parashah, we explore the story of Korach’s rebellion and the miracle of Aharon’s staff that blossomed and bore fruit. What was HaShem showing through this sign? And how does it help us understand the role of Yeshua as the chosen Redeemer of Israel? This teaching examines the pattern of rejection and vindication, and how the resurrection of Yeshua echoes the same message: God is faithful to confirm the one He appoints.
