What does ‘All Israel will be saved’ truly mean? Dive into this deep exploration of redemption, faithfulness, and the irrevocable gifts of God.

Has God rejected His people? In Romans 11, Paul tackles a dangerous misconception brewing among the Roman Gentile believers: that Israel has been replaced in God’s plan. With urgency, Paul unveils the “critical exigency”  and warns against it. Through the olive tree allegory, Paul explains God’s faithfulness, the inclusion of Gentiles, and the unbreakable covenant with Israel. This sermon unpacks the climax of Romans, revealing profound truths about God’s promises and purposes.

What does Paul mean by “Christ is the end of the Law” or “There is no distinction between Jew and Gentile”? How do these ideas relate to the Torah, the future of the Jewish people, and Jew-Gentile relations in Rome? This week, we reevaluate centuries of traditional interpretations to uncover Paul’s true message.

Yeshua - We know him as the Messiah of Israel, the Savior of the World—and rightly so. But he is also the means by which we can connect with God. How so? I think there’s a special insight about Yeshua’s power of connection in this week’s 5 Minute Torah.

Yeshua’s gospel, or “good news,” revolved around the call to repentance. Although the prophets introduced this message, John the Immerser (he really wasn’t a Baptist) took on this message in earnest and passed the torch to Yeshua. As we know, repentance means to turn around or turn back. But what will it look like when a whole generation repents and has a change of heart? I think we can catch a glimpse of what it might look like in this week’s 5 Minute Torah.

Does God care? This question might feel obvious, but many of us quietly wrestle with it, especially during life’s challenges. In this teaching, we explore the profound truth that yes, God does care—but how do we know? By reconnecting with Him through prayer.

Using insights from Scripture, the Talmud, and personal experiences, Darren delves into how prayer reshapes our perspective and realigns us with God’s will. Discover the Hebrew concept of prayer as a form of self-reflection and attachment to God, helping us to trust in His care and love even when life feels overwhelming.

If you’ve felt stretched thin, spiritually malnourished, or doubted whether your life matters to God, this teaching provides practical steps to deepen your relationship with Him. From spontaneous prayers (hitbodedut) to set-time prayers, learn how these practices can transform your life and reignite your faith.
