Facing Our Fears by Living in Faith.

What does it mean to truly love your enemy? Drawing from Leviticus 19, the teachings of Yeshua, and Jewish tradition, this message explores how real love confronts conflict, seeks reconciliation, acts justly, and even extends mercy to those who oppose us. Love starts at home, ripples outward, and reflects the heart of G‑d to the world.

In his Shabbat HaGadol sermon Rabbi Rich details surprising dimensions of Israel’s dramatic encounter with Pharaoh’s chariots and infantry at the Red Sea…things few may have never considered before.

What’s Passover really all about?

By Senior Rabbi Nathan Joiner at Ruach Israel, March 29, 2025.

As we prepare to relive the miraculous birth of our people at Passover, why do we read about the Red Heifer? This ancient ritual calls us to a deeper trust in G-d—reminding us of the divine mystery between life and death, slavery and freedom, the sea and dry land. The ashes of the Red Heifer urge us not to wait until the last moment to live for G-d, but to walk in faith now. This sermon explores how the Red Heifer prepares our hearts to fully enter the mystery of Pesach.
