Today, we study the weekly Torah portion Shelach-Lecha, which can be translated as “send for yourself” or “send on your behalf.”
This Torah portion is deeply relevant to each of us because we all have moments when we know God's promise yet face mountains of problems that seem insurmountable.
Those moments reveal what is in our hearts; either we choose to trust ADONAI and move forward in faith, or we fall into despair.
In today’s Torah portion, we see Israel facing that very same choice.
1 ADONAI spoke to Moses saying, 2 “Send some men on your behalf to investigate the land of Canaan, which I am giving to Bnei-Yisrael. Each man you are to send will be a prince of the tribe of his fathers, a man from each tribe.” Numbers 13:1-2
It is important for us to remember that these twelve spies were among the best representatives of the people, leaders from the tribes of Israel.
Therefore, their words could either awaken faith in the people's hearts or open the door to unbelief.
The twelve spies entered the land, carefully examined it, and then returned to Moses, Aaron, and the whole congregation of Israel.
27 They gave their account to him and said, “We went into the land where you sent us. Indeed it is flowing with milk and honey—this is some of its fruit. 28 Except, the people living in the land are powerful, and the cities are fortified and very large. We even saw the sons of Anak there! Numbers 13:27-28
When the spies returned, they brought fruit from the land and acknowledged that it was exactly as ADONAI had said, truly flowing with milk and honey.
In other words, they saw that God's promise was faithful and true, but then they added one tragic word: “Except,” which can also be translated as “nevertheless,” “however,” or “but.”
The land was good, the promise was real, and the fruit was in their hands; however, the people who lived in the land were strong, and the cities were fortified and very large.
This became a moment of spiritual testing for the children of Israel, as they had to choose whether to stand on the Lord's promise and see the giants through His word, or to allow the giants to define how they saw themselves, their future, and even God's faithfulness.

06/05/2026

Our weekly Torah portion, Beha’alotcha, begins with a deep commandment given to Aaron:
Speak to Aaron and say to him: When you set up the lamps, the seven lamps are to give light in front of the menorah. Numbers 8:2
The Hebrew word Beha’alotcha is connected not only with the idea of “lighting” the lamps, but also with the idea of “raising up,” “lifting up,” or “causing the light to ascend.”
Therefore, in a sense, the Lord is saying to Aaron: when you raise up the light, let the lamps shine before Me, illuminating the place of service and pointing the people to My presence.
The light was not only functional; it was sacred.
It reminded Israel that all true service must be done in the light of the Lord and before His face.
Our ministry needs the light of God, the work and presence of the Ruach ha-Kodesh, the Holy Spirit.
Without the light of the menorah, the priests could not see the bread of the Presence, the altar of incense, or anything connected with their ministry in the sanctuary.
In the same way, without the light of the Holy Spirit, we cannot truly see, discern, or serve the Lord properly.
That is why the Torah begins this portion with the image of the menorah, and the haftarah, the prophet Zechariah, continues and deepens that image.
The prophet Zechariah writes about a golden menorah, a bowl above it, seven lamps, and two olive trees, one on the right and one on the left.
Then the angel explains the meaning of the vision with these words:
“Not by might, nor by power, but by My Ruach!” says Adonai-Tzva’ot. Zechariah 4:6
And then Zechariah continues with the prophetic image of the capstone being brought out with shouts of grace:
Grace, grace to it! Zechariah 4:7
This is one of the most beautiful Messianic passages in the Prophets, because it presents not only the image of the golden menorah, but also the picture of the capstone being brought forth while God’s grace is proclaimed over it.
The menorah in Zechariah reveals that the work of God is not accomplished by human effort, strength, or ability, but by the power and presence of the Spirit of the Lord.
The stone points us to the Messiah, revealed to Israel and to the nations as the One who is full of God’s grace.

05/30/2026

Today’s Torah Portion is Naso, one of the richest and most beautiful portions in the Book of Numbers.
The Hebrew word Naso means “lift up,” “take up,” or “count.”
At the beginning of the portion, the Lord commands Moses to take a census of the sons of Gershon and Merari, the families of the Levites responsible for carrying and serving in the work of the Tabernacle.
I want to share an important topic.
Scripture warns us about the last days.
For false messiahs and false prophets will rise up and show great signs and wonders so as to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen. Matthew 24:24
The Lord also places upon us the responsibility to guard ourselves, so that we are not deceived or led astray by false teachings.
In recent years, one of the greatest spiritual attacks has been against the person, name, and identity of Yeshua.
Many false teachers try to reduce Him to just a man, a prophet, or a teacher, but in doing so, they lead others into dangerous deception.
Some claim they have a new revelation, but as Solomon said,
There is nothing new under the sun. Ecclesiastes 1:9
These false teachings are not new; they have already appeared throughout history in different forms.
That is why the theme of my message is about the Messiah: The Face of the Lord.
Join us on the coming Shabbat to study the Scriptures and learn about Messianic Judaism.

Come celebrate the final day of Shavuot with us this Shabbat, May 23, at 10:30 AM.
We will gather for worship, a beautiful Torah service, oneg fellowship, and a special time of prayer.
9 Seven weeks you are to count for yourself—from the time you begin to put the sickle to the standing grain you will begin to count seven weeks. 10 Then you will keep the Feast of Shavuot to Adonai your God with a measure of a freewill offering from your hand, which you are to give according to how Adonai your God blesses you. 11 So you will rejoice before Adonai your God in the place Adonai your God chooses to make His Name dwell—you, your son and daughter, slave and maid, Levite and outsider, orphan and widow in your midst. Deuteronomy 16:10-11

This Shabbat, we gather with grateful hearts to celebrate Shabbat and the beautiful appointed time of Shavuot, the Feast of Weeks.
Shavuot reminds us of Mount Sinai, where Adonai gave the Torah to His people, and it also points us to Jerusalem, where the disciples of Yeshua were gathered together in one place, and the Ruach HaKodesh was poured out with power.
What began at Sinai with the giving of God’s Word reached a powerful fullness in Jerusalem through the giving of the Holy Spirit.
For us as Messianic believers, Shavuot is a reminder that we need both the Word of God and the Spirit of God.
May this Shabbat and Shavuot celebration renew our hearts, strengthen our faith, and draw us closer to Adonai through Messiah Yeshua.
Shabbat Shalom and Chag Sameach!

Chag Shavuot Sameach! Happy Shavuot!
Shavuot is one of the appointed times of the LORD, a season of thanksgiving, covenant, and fresh outpouring from heaven. In the Torah, Israel was commanded to count seven weeks and then come before the LORD with joy, bringing the first fruits of the harvest.

9 Seven weeks you are to count for yourself—from the time you begin to put the sickle to the standing grain you will begin to count seven weeks. 10 Then you will keep the Feast of Shavuot to Adonai your God with a measure of a freewill offering from your hand, which you are to give according to how Adonai your God blesses you. 11 So you will rejoice before Adonai your God in the place Adonai your God chooses to make His Name dwell—you, your son and daughter, slave and maid, Levite and outsider, orphan and widow in your midst. Deuteronomy 16:10-11

Israel was to celebrate Shavuot by bringing a freewill offering to the LORD and rejoicing before Him. Shavuot reminds us that everything we have comes from Adonai, and we honor Him by bringing our first and best with thankful hearts.
For us as believers in Yeshua the Messiah, Shavuot also reminds us of the giving of the Ruach ha-Kodesh, the Holy Spirit.
2 When the day of Shavuot had come, they were all together in one place. 2 Suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 And tongues like fire spreading out appeared to them and settled on each one of them. 4 They were all filled with the Ruach ha-Kodesh and began to speak in other tongues as the Ruach enabled them to speak out. Acts 2:1-4
When the day of Shavuot had come, the disciples were gathered together, and the Holy Spirit was poured out upon them. This was not only a historical moment, but a powerful reminder that God desires to fill His people with His Spirit, His Word, and His power.
May this Shavuot be a time of renewal, gratitude, and fresh filling of the Ruach ha-Kodesh. May Adonai draw us closer to Himself, strengthen us in His Word, and fill our hearts with the presence of Yeshua our Messiah.
Come and celebrate Erev Shavuot with us this Thursday, May 21, at 6:30 PM.

Shavuot with JMCJ.
Come and celebrate Erev Shavuot with us this Thursday, May 21, at 6:30 PM.
Shavuot is one of the appointed times of the LORD, a season of thanksgiving, covenant, and fresh outpouring from heaven. In the Torah, Israel was commanded to count seven weeks and then come before the LORD with joy, bringing the first fruits of the harvest.

When the day of Shavuot had come, the disciples were gathered together, and the Holy Spirit was poured out upon them. This was not only a historical moment, but a powerful reminder that God desires to fill His people with His Spirit, His Word, and His power.
We will have a time of worship, Shavuot prayers, reading of the Word, and First Fruits Offering.
The First Fruits Offering is a biblical tradition of honoring the LORD with the first and best of what He has given us.
Honor Adonai with your wealth and with the first of all your income. Proverbs 3:9
We also believe there is great importance in gathering together as the people of God. When we gather in unity to worship, pray, and wait on the LORD, we make room for His presence to move among us.
For those who are able to stay overnight, we would be glad to have you join us for worship, reading the Word, waiting on the LORD, and prayer. You are welcome to stay as long as you can and leave whenever you need to.
May this Shavuot be a time of renewal, gratitude, and fresh filling of the Ruach ha-Kodesh. May Adonai draw us closer to Himself, strengthen us in His Word, and fill our hearts with the presence of Yeshua our Messiah.
Chag Shavuot Sameach!

Rosh Chodesh Celebration
“From one New Moon to another…. all flesh shall come to worship before me, says the LORD.”
Join us for our double celebration of worship and meeting the LORD on Saturday, May 16.
Not only is it our Shabbat service, but it is also Rosh Chodesh Sivan.
May this new month be a season of preparation, unity, and thirst for the Word of Adonai.
Just as Israel came to Mount Sinai in the third month and stood before the mountain to receive His instruction, may our hearts also be ready to hear, obey, and walk in His ways.
Sivan reminds us that the Lord not only gave His Word on tablets of stone but also promised, "I will put My Torah within them…" I will write it on their hearts. Jeremiah 31:33.
And in Yeshua, the living Word, we see the fullness of God’s heart revealed. As John says, The Word became flesh and tabernacled among us. John 1:14
Bring your shofars, your heart, and your offering of praise and thanksgiving to Him.

05/16/2026

Numbers, or Bamidbar, begins about one year after the exodus from Egypt, and literally means “in the wilderness.”
In the wilderness of Sinai, on the first day of the second month in the second year from the Exodus from the land of Egypt, ADONAI spoke to Moses in the Tent of Meeting, saying. Numbers 1:1
From the first verse, we see an important spiritual truth: the Lord speaks to His people in the wilderness, meaning the wilderness is not only a place of testing but also a place where He reveals direction.
This is a very important lesson for us because, just as Israel in the wilderness, the places that seem chaotic and uncertain are often where He teaches us direction and order.
You are to remember all the way that ADONAI your God has led you these 40 years in the wilderness, in order to humble you, to test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His mitzvot or not. Deuteronomy 8:2
In the same way, there are seasons in our lives when we find ourselves in a kind of wilderness, where we begin to understand that we cannot live by our own wisdom alone but must learn to depend on the word that comes from the Lord.
I want to conclude with the Messianic picture from today’s Torah portion.
All those numbered according to their divisions under the standard of Judah are 186,400. They are to advance first. Numbers 2:9
In Numbers 2:9, it says that the camp of Judah had to move forward first, and this is a very important detail.
Judah does not go first by accident.
Already in Genesis 49:10, Jacob prophesied:
The scepter will not pass from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, until he to whom it belongs will come. To him will be the obedience of the peoples. Genesis 49:10
And in the book of Revelation, Yeshua is called the Lion from the tribe of Judah:
Stop weeping! Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. Revelation 5:5
Therefore, when we see the tribe of Judah go before Israel in the wilderness, we can see in this a prophetic shadow of the Messiah.
The people of God do not walk through the wilderness alone, because ahead of them goes the One who was revealed as the King from the tribe of Judah.
Yeshua Himself went through the wilderness, was tempted for forty days, and remained faithful.
Therefore, He can lead us through our wilderness not only as the King but also as the High Priest who understands our weaknesses.
For we do not have a kohen gadol who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all the same ways — yet without sin. Hebrews 4:15,
When the Messiah goes before us, then the wilderness is not a dead end, but a path by which He leads His people.
