Torah Portion Genesis 32:3-36:13 • Rabbi Levine challenges each individual to have their personal encounter with God. Yakov, or Jacob was "the Heel-Catcher", he grabbed his brother's heal to try and be the first born, a conniver, and a deceiver. God desired Jacob to be much more, so when Jacob sent his family and possessions over the river there was a wrestling match with Jacob alone with God. To be a blessed community, we have to be blessed individuals.

God tells us that we shall not break our word, that we must fulfill that commitment. Then the Rabbi discussed the impact that the messianic community is having on the needy in the nation of Israel, that the Jewish people are beginning to recognize the sincerity and love that messianics have for their Jewish brothers and sisters. The second part of the message examines the error of a dual covenant view of God's children, a view that is becoming popular in Zionist movements around the world.

Torah Portion Deuteronomy 3:23-7:11• Rabbi Levine primarily use the Halftorah portion of Isaiah 40, but he also uses Isaiah 6:10 to support the message: Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.

Woven into this message are four voices of God to his people:
1) comfort & pardon
2) provision
3) truth
4) and finally - Love!
Love sets the tone for the remainder of the message of Isaiah and kicks off the messianic prophecies. Listen...
