    Garments for Honor

    In modern Western culture, it has become common to regard dress and apparel as inalienable rights that are essential expressions of the individual. What is more, we have adopted some sort of assumed piety in dressing down. The reasoning proceeds along these lines: God does not look at the outside. God looks at the heart.

    Matthew

    A Hidden Teaching in the Light of the World

    A lamp placed under a bowl extinguishes itself for lack of oxygen. Likewise, the light of the world where the Temple stood, the menorah burned, the Sanhedrin convened, the rabbis taught, the Torah was studied, and the nation of Israel assembled, was in danger of being extinguished.

  • Torah Club
    Where Disciples Learn

    A New Beginning

    Serious disciples want to get past shallow teaching, understand their Bibles, and know Jesus better. Torah Club is where disciples learn to master the Bible from a historical Jewish perspective and apply its timeless truths to their lives.
