Connection. It is a basic human need. But what happens when “feeling” connected is more important than “being” connected? We live in a technological world addicted to the illusion of connection. God lays out his special times, his appointments, and invites us to a special relationship. How is the world doing with that connection? Look around and you’ll quickly determine the answer; not so well. Why? In “The Answer to FOMO” we will explore the cure to this ever-growing problem.

Have you ever felt like you were a phony and one day everyone would find out? Have you ever struggled to know that God can use you in spite of your mistakes? Aaron had this same problem. How could he, the one who made the golden calf, become the high priest and serve as a mediator between God and man? Join Rabbi Damian in this deeply moving message as he helps us overcome the difficulties of our past in order to serve God without fear.

So Pesach is over; the days of eating matzah have come and gone for another year. But the reality is these simple cakes of flour and water are intended to communicate and connect on a much deeper level than our stomachs. Pesach has ‘passed over’ but matzah still has a meaning that we must carry through the days ahead as we count the omer and journey toward Shavuot. Here’s a teaching to make matzah’s message mean more! Learn how unleavened bread might strengthen our life and faith in powerfully new ways, even after Passover.

In the words of the Tzemach Tzedek, "The first day of Pesach is Moshe Rabbeinu’s festival; the last day of Pesach is Moshiach’s festival!” What exactly does that mean? If Judaism recognizes a Messianic component of the last day of Passover, "a festival for Messiah," shouldn’t the Messianic synagogue know about this? More importantly, are we missing a beautiful and fulfilling addition to our Passover celebration? Give this week’s teaching a listen and learn about Seudat Mashiach, the Meal of Messiah, and the powerful message it communicates about our ultimate salvation.

Parsha Kedoshim provides one of the most foundational Torah commandments God gives to us: “You shall be holy, for I, the Lord your God, am holy.” Every believer desires to obey this command. On the surface, it seems quite simple. God is holy so we should be too. Can we? Can we ever hope to achieve God-like holiness? God is transcendent, beyond all comprehension, and His holiness is surely no different. Has He given humanity an impossible mission? In this week’s teaching, we’ll take a look at God’s holiness revealed on a level that we can, and must, imitate.

Can Gentiles partake in the Passover seder? Or is it limited to Jewish participants, since the Torah says that only those who are circumcised can eat of it? What about spiritual circumcision that Paul spoke of? Aren't Jews and Gentiles the same now that Messiah has come? Enjoy this power-packed and entertaining teaching from Rabbi Damian as you gear up for Passover!

What do matzah, new moons, and the return of the Messiah have in common? You may be surprised to find out! Join Rabbi Damian as he explores the concept behind the rabbinic practice of doubling the festival days. Is it biblical or merely a man-made plot of the rabbis to hide Yeshua from the masses? Tune in to find out!

We've introduced the Nachamu Ami mission statement: Loving God. Loving Each Other. But what does it mean? Is it more than a feeling? What does it look like? How do we practically live that out? Find out more in this power-packed message from Rabbi Damian that hits to the core of what it means to be a Messianic follower of Yeshua.

Why did Israel choose a golden calf over the God of the universe? How could it be? In this teaching, we’ll explore a fundamental reason for their falling away. Rabbi Damian reveals how the problem with the Children of Israel is an ongoing one with all of us and an increasing danger to our communities today. Golden calves are dangerous. We need to know how to fight them when they appear; though the weapon we’ll use is probably quite different than you might think. Tune in to find out more.

What do the Kingdom of God and Chicken Sandwiches have in common? Times have changed for believers and their communities. What once worked to draw people and connect them doesn't seem to be working anymore. What are we missing? Does our model need updating or better yet, a radical transformation? What's so special about our tribe at Nachamu Ami? Rabbi Damian explains this and more in part 2 of his engaging series, The Tribe: Are You In?
