We are all human, created in God's image and infused with His breath. Humanity is unique, designed to bring goodness into a world filled with darkness and chaos. Understanding the image of God is crucial in our study of the Torah, as it influences how we treat everyone. Watch this week’s message to learn how to balance our beliefs with compassion, even toward those we disagree with, who are also made in “The Image of God."

On Sukkot’s final day, all nations will celebrate Yeshua as King. Worshipers in Jerusalem will be blessed with rain, while others will go without. Water is vital for life, and God controls it. The river of the water of life is free for all who are thirsty. We can joyfully draw from it, assured that our King, Yeshua the Messiah, provides what we need to live! Watch "The Greatest Day" as we close out our Holy Day series!

In life, we strive to let God's provision guide us. While we can rely on our gifts and determination, it’s essential to recognize God as the King of our lives. He understands the past, present, and future. He knows when markets fluctuate, who will win elections, and when storms will come and go. He has numbered all the days of our lives. Therefore, it is wise to seek His guidance in every decision, both big and small. Watch "God Provides" and experience the joy of freedom from self-provision during the festival of Sukkot!

On Yom Kippur, we read the book of Jonah and fast to open ourselves to spiritual renewal through repentance, confession, and atonement. It's about dying to self to find new life in Yeshua. We must let go of pride, arrogance, and unhealthy relationships. This process is not about physical death, but about allowing God to create new life within us. Watch and learn how Yeshua is the "Sign of Jonah"—He is better than Jonah—He is the One that Moses and the prophets pointed to all along!

The Saturday between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur is called "Shabbat Shuvah" or "The Sabbath of Return." It's a time for everyone to return to God. Jewish people return to the God of our Fathers, while Gentiles return to the God of Israel. As we return, we're amazed by God’s loyal love in our relationship with Him and how it affects our relationships with people. Watch the message "Return to Loyal Love" and understand the deep connection between returning to God and experiencing His loyal love.

As followers of Yeshua, let's prioritize living with godliness, respect, and integrity. Let's aim to be known for our character, excellence in work, love for our families, and care for others. We must acknowledge that we are sinners and seek repentance, redemption, and forgiveness. We are a congregation of “great, desperate sinners” leading other “great and desperate sinners” to become more fully devoted followers of Yeshua. Don't miss "Dare to be Sinners," a special message for Rosh Hashanah.

David is known as "a man after God's own heart" not because he never sinned, but because he always repented. True repentance leads to real change in your life. It means being open to correction and taking responsibility for your actions. Watch "Every Setback is a Chance to Comeback" and learn how you can be a person after God's own heart!

In Judaism, Shabbat was the first thing made holy by God. This month, we prepare for the High Holy Days: Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and Sukkot. These are days that we treat as holy, just like Shabbat. Join us as we focus on Teshuvah, the act of returning to God, and allow us to guide you towards these important "Cathedrals in Time."

It can be difficult to accept that we have both good and bad within us. Embracing this mix inside of us helps us accept it in others, especially in our friendships. We all need real, lasting friendships that help us navigate life and faith. Watch "Living Wisely with Friends" to learn more about the importance of friendship!
