Saturday, April 12, 2025, we held our yearly Messiah in the Passover Seder banquet at the Knollwood Country Club in Granada Hills, CA. We were truly blessed to have 260 attend and experience such a beautiful Passover with everyone who came.Our time of worship and praise was uplifting, joyous and celebrative. Everyone who came had such a wonderful time reflecting back on Israel's exodus from Egypt, learning of the Jewish traditions and seeing how Yeshua, our Passover Lamb, observed Passover with his disciples, fulfilling many of the Jewish traditions that are still practiced today.As our Passover seder developed, Rabbi Gary explained how the traditions the Jewish people practice were also observed by Yeshua and used by him to reveal himself as Israel's Messiah.This episode only includes Rabbi Gary's introduction to the Seder.

As we have already noted the Scriptures teach there are two phases or stages in Messiah's return. In the first stage Messiah will come "personally" (John 14:3; I Thessalonians 4:16), will come "for the believers" (John 14:3; I Thessalonians 4:17) and will come to the clouds (I Thessalonians 4:17).This first stage is referred to as the "rapture" of the believers. The term "rapture" is taken from the Latin translation of the Greek word αρπαζω (pronounced arpazo) meaning "to be caught up," or "snatched up."In the second stage Messiah will come "publicly" (Matthew 24:27; Revelation 1:7), he will come "with the believers" (Zechariah 14:5; Revelation 19:14) and will come to the earth (Zechariah 14:4; Acts 1:11). This second stage is Messiah's return to the earth to establish his kingdom and fulfill his promises to Israel.We note three things Yeshua teaches about his return at the rapture of the believers. He answers the questi

Rabbi Gary continues to consider the promise of Messiah's coming again. Acts 1:9-11 records the ascension of Messiah into the heavens. As Luke records the event, he focuses attention upon what the disciples saw. In verse 9 we read the phrases, "while they were looking," and "a cloud (the Shekinah glory) took Him up away from their sight."Then in verse 10 we find the phrase, "while they were staring into the sky," followed by the word "suddenly" which means "something to pay close attention to." And then "two men dressed in white," no doubt angels, ask the disciples a rhetorical question: "Why do you stand looking straight into the sky?" They go on to say that "this Yeshua" will return "in this way in which manner you saw him going into heaven" (vs.11).With the emphasis on what the disciples saw, coupled with the phrase, "in this way in which manner" which means "in the very same way," there can b

Alan Radecki leads our celebration of Purim. The worship will lift our hearts before the Lord. We have a special worship-in-dance presentation, we read through portions of the book of Esther in a special “Reader’s Theater” format, and use our "groggers."One of the peculiarities of the book of Esther is that there is no explicit mention of the name of God, nor of God himself. While at the outset this might strike us as odd, upon further reflection it serves to reinforce one of the book's major points, the veracity or trustworthiness of God and his word.The omission of God's name and reference to God himself in the book of Esther underscores what God had foretold Moses would come upon His people: He would hide his presence from them as judgment for their sin.The events of Purim reveal that while Israel may forget their God, God will not forget Israel. In the book of Esther, he acts behind the scenes unseen through his providence and sovereignty to demonstrate his love for and faithfulness to

When first venturing into the study of the return of Messiah, one can be easily confused by the seemingly contradictory statements regarding Yeshua's second coming.There are statements that speak of Messiah coming for his own, as well as his coming visibly for the whole world to see.There are verses that speak of Messiah coming to judge the works of believers as well as those that refer to him  coming to judge humanity in general.There are passages that tell us that believers will be "caught up" into the clouds "to meet the Lord in the air" (I Thessalonians 4:17), a marriage supper of the Lamb (Revelation 19:9), a judgment upon the "beast" and false prophet (Revelation 19:20), a binding and ultimate judgment upon Satan (Revelation 20:1-2, 10), the establishment of the Messianic Kingdom (Revelation 20:4) and a final "white throne" judgment (Revelation 20:11-12).How are all these statements to be understood? How are they to be reconciled with one another? In what ord

Teaching through the book of Zechariah at our Saturday Shabbat services has been an amazing experience for me. I've learned so much and our congregations were so excited to take a "deep dive" into the promise of our Messiah's return, the restoration of Israel and the establishment of the Messianic Kingdom.Over the next few weeks at our services I will be speaking on the return or second coming of Yeshua our Messiah. Many suppose that the promise of the return of Yeshua is of secondary concern; yet, interestingly, it is prominent in the Scriptures.It is said that there are some 300 prophecies of the first coming of Messiah in the Hebrew Scriptures, and nearly three times as many prophecies of Yeshua's second coming. Sometimes these second coming prophecies are inseparably connected to first coming prophecies, but not always.The Lord is coming and He's coming soon. If we need to repent and turn to Him we should, because He's coming soon. If we need to love Him (or perhaps love

As the prophet Zechariah brings his prophecy to a close, he focuses attention on the restoration and glory of Jerusalem. Primarily, the prophet makes known that, when the Messianic Kingdom dawns, the area around Jerusalem will be remade. Physical changes will take place in the Land of Israel.Link to download Zechariah chart: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BkFtNcDKe32mzcqZGek_HXqXlVUVEO7C/view?usp=sharingYouTube: https://youtube.com/live/MtT3uwr3OwUSend us a text
