As we step into the Season of Redemption and prepare for Passover, this week’s message from Rabbi Lawrence is, “Who Has the Power to Redeem?”. We will explore the deep connections between Parashat Tzav, Shabbat HaGadol, and the promise of Elijah. From the Exodus to the coming of Messiah, we discover that God has the power to redeem not just a nation, but each of us who trust in Him. Join us as we remember the past, live the present, and look forward to the ultimate redemption through Yeshua our Redeemer. Some relevant verses:“You know that you were redeemed from the futile way of life handed down from your ancestors—not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with precious blood like that of a lamb without defect or spot, the blood of Messiah.” (1 Peter 1:18–19, TLV)

Rabbi Lawrence will share a message from this week’s Parashah titled, "Drawing Near: The Heart of Vayikra". Parashat Vayikra ('And He called') teaches us about drawing near to God through offerings. Each offering – burnt, grain, peace, sin, and guilt – symbolizes different aspects of our relationship with the Lord. In Yeshua our Messiah, we find the ultimate fulfillment of these offerings and atonement for our sins, inviting us to live in closeness with God every day.

This Shabbat Rabbi Lawrence will share a message from this week’s Parashah Pekudei ('the number of') titled, “Kavod Adonai - From the Mishkan to the Messiah.” We trace the powerful journey of the Kavod Adonai—the glory of the LORD—from the wilderness Tabernacle to the living presence of Messiah Yeshua. We will discover how the same glory that filled the Mishkan now dwells in us through the Ruach and what it means to live as His holy dwelling place. Don’t miss this prophetic connection between Torah and the Brit Chadashah! Key verses are: “Then the cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and the glory of Adonai filled the Tabernacle. Moses was unable to enter into the Tent of Meeting, because the cloud resided there and the glory of Adonai filled the Tabernacle.” (Exodus 40:34–35, TLV)

Join us today as we celebrate Purim with joyful festivities and parading in costume! In addition to the fun and fanfare, we’ll dive into a powerful message from Rabbi Lawrence titled “Purim and the Redemption of the Nations.” Discover how God’s hidden hand in the Book of Esther foreshadows the redemption of both Israel and the nations through Yeshua the Messiah! A key passage is: “… celebrate the fourteenth and fifteenth days of Adar every year as the days when the Jews got relief from their enemies, and as the month when their sorrow was turned into joy and their mourning into celebration. These were to be days of feasting, celebration and sending presents of food to one another and giving gifts to the poor.” (Esther 9:21–22, TLV)

Rabbi Lawrence will deliver a powerful message from this week’s Parashah Tetzaveh, titled “Yeshua HaKohen HaMashiach.” Together, we will explore the Torah’s instructions for anointing the High Priest and uncover how every detail in this parashah prophetically points to Yeshua—our anointed Messiah and eternal High Priest. “Therefore, since we have a great Kohen Gadol who has passed through the heavens, Yeshua Ben-Elohim, let us hold firmly to our confessed allegiance.” Hebrews 4:14

Rabbi Lawrence will share a message from this week’s Parashah Mishpatim that is titled, “Who is the Angel of the Lord?” We will examine the mysterious figure in the Hebrew Bible who speaks as God, acts with Divine authority, and bears His Name. A key verse is: “Behold, I am sending an angel before you, to guard you on the way and to bring you into the place that I have prepared. Watch for Him and listen to His voice. Do not rebel against Him because He will not pardon your transgression, for My Name is in Him.” (Exodus 23:20–21, TLV)

This week’s Parashah Yitro is rich with dramatic events, culminating in the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai. Join us as Rabbi Lawrence shares a powerful message titled, “The Ten Words – Written on Stone, Fulfilled in Our Hearts.” Together, we will explore the Aseret HaDibrot (Ten Words) from both a Jewish and Messianic Jewish perspective, uncovering their timeless significance and how they are fulfilled in Messiah Yeshua. A key verse is, “Do not think that I came to abolish the Torah or the Prophets! I did not come to abolish, but to fulfill.” (Matthew 5:17, TLV)
