Beth Israel Messianic Congregation — Sat, 10 May 2008 15:30:18 +0000

Rabbi David Levine

Saturday, Yom Shabbat, May 10, 2008

Parsha Emor: Leviticus 21–24 Haftarah: Ezekiel 44:15-31

With Supplemental readings from Luke 22

What is Messianic Judaism? Is it Judaism with Jesus? Is it Christianity for Jews? Rabbi David Levine says the best understanding of modern Messianic Judaism starts with an examination of its origins almost two thousand years. This far-reaching message takes a careful look at the beginning of Messianic Judaism, and the many forms of Christianity which later emerged from it. The subject then turns to unprecedented news from Israel about developments that touch all Messianic Jews.

This edgy message will challenge you to celebrate the Jewish holidays with love and fervent desire.

Parsha K’doshim ~ Leviticus 19-20

Haftarah: Ezekiel 20:2-20, 22:1-19

Is it a sin to love yourself? Rabbi David says in fact we are commanded to love ourselves. That’s why he says Leviticus 19:18 is the most misunderstood commandment. This challenging message will help you overcome many religious misunderstandings about God’s love, and our own love for ourselves and one another.

A lifeline to God

Beth Israel Messianic Congregation — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 00:30:24 +0000

Rabbi David Levine

Parsha: Pesach ~ Exodus 33:12–34:26; Numbers 28:19-25; Haftarah: Ezekiel 36:37–37:14

Moses was a lifeline to God for Israel. God used Moses to reach Israel with the news of God’s goodness, his deliverance, and his redemption. You may be a lifeline to God for someone, too. In this message, Rabbi David encourages you to help bring renewal, revival, and spiritual resurrection during the Passover season. This message also includes the celebration of Seudat HaMashiach, the meal of Messiah.

Torah and the Nations

Beth Israel Messianic Congregation — Sat, 19 Apr 2008 15:30:22 +0000

Rabbi David Levine Yom Shabbat, Saturday, April 19, 2008

Parsha: Acharei Mot - Leviticus 16–18 Haftarah: Amos 9:7-15 With additional references from Acts 15

When Gentiles became disciples of Yeshua, the Messianic Jewish Apostles decided that the Gentiles did not have to convert to Judaism. Circumcision wasn’t required, therefore, but t’vilah (immersion in water) was. And some of the specific food and sexual laws were also required of the Gentiles, especially those listed in this week’s Torah portion. Rabbi David looks back at those decisions with a fresh perspective for our times during this Passover season.

Parsha Tazriah: Leviticus 12–13 Haftarah: 2 Kings 4:42–5:19

Supplemental readings from Luke 2:21-22, John 1:29, AND Matthew 11:4ff

A cover story in Time Magazine recently said that the Jewishness of Jesus is one of the ten most revolutionary ideas today. Rabbi David Levine says it’s old idea that’s been around for almost two thousand years, but it’s still a revolutionary idea that will turn Judaism and Christianity upside down, or—if you’re a Messianic Jew—right side up!

Eating, Drinking and the Kingdom of God

Beth Israel Messianic Congregation — Sat, 29 Mar 2008 15:30:27 +0000

Rabbi David Levine

Saturday Morning, Yom Shabbat, March 29, 2008

Parsha Sh’mini: Leviticus 9-11 Haftarah: 2 Samuel 6:1-7:17

After two of his sons tragically died, Aaron received a word from God: None of the priest should drink and minister in the tabernacle. Paul expands that warning, when he warns the Ephesians about getting drunk. Is it important what you eat or drink? Rabbi David looks into this subject in a fresh new way in this message.

The Anointed Priest in the books of Leviticus and Hebrews

Beth Israel Messianic Congregation — Sat, 15 Mar 2008 15:30:04 +0000

Rabbi David Levine

Yom Shabbat, Saturday, March 15, 2008

Parsha: VaYikra ~ Leviticus 1:1–6:7 Haftarah: Isaiah 43:21–44:23 with Hebrews 8-9

Leviticus introduces us to HaCohen HaMashiach, the Anointed Priest. The Book of Hebrews explains that Yeshua is the anointed high priest of Israel’s New Covenant. Rabbi David’s message discusses the importance of Yeshua’s New Covenant priestly ministry, and how it is similar and how it is different from the Levitical priesthood.

God’s Favorite Recipes

Beth Israel Messianic Congregation — Sat, 08 Mar 2008 15:30:57 +0000

Messianic Rabbi David Levine

Saturday, Yom Shabbat, March 8, 2008

Parsha P’kudei: Exodus 38:21–40:38

Haftarah: 1 Kings 7:51–8:21

With Jeremiah 31:31-37 and Acts 2:38-41

In this week’s Parsha, Moses receives a “recipe” from God: How to prepare Aaron and his sons for ministry. The recipe is similar to the Apostle Peter’s description of what new Jewish believers should do. In this message, Rabbi David discusses the Jewish pattern for serving God, and how the New Covenant is similar to and different from the Sinai Covenant.

Wash Up and Get Anointed!

Beth Israel Messianic Congregation — Sat, 08 Mar 2008 00:30:33 +0000

Rabbi David Levine

Erev Shabbat, Friday, March 7, 2008

Parsha P’kudei: Exodus 38:21–40:38

Haftarah: 1 Kings 7:51–8:21

With Jeremiah 31:31-37 and Acts 2:38-41

Aaron and his sons needed to wash up – to be immersed in water – and to receive God’s anointing. Then they could serve God wholeheartedly. Peter said something similar to thousands of Jewish people who heard the good news of Yeshua in Jerusalem. They also needed to be immersed, receive God’s anointing, and serve God wholeheartedly, and live in community. Rabbi David Levine’s message opens up the connection between Moses and Yeshua, and between the Sinai Covenant and the New Covenant.

Standing in the Gap

Parsha Ki Tisa: Exodus 30:11-34:35

Great in Lovingkindess and Truth

Beth Israel Messianic Congregation — Sat, 23 Feb 2008 00:30:19 +0000

Rabbi David Levine

Erev Shabbat, Friday evening, February 22, 2008

Parsha: Ki Tisa (Exodus 30:11–34:35) Haftarah: 1 Kings 18:1-39

The sin of the Golden Calf reveals the worst in Israel, and the best in Moses. How quickly Israel turned away from my commandments, the Lord says. But when God offers to destroy all of Israel and make a new nation just from Moses, Moses refuses. He wants what is best for both Israel and God, and stands as a priestly intercessor. That’s when God descends and stands next to Moses and reveals all of the Lord’s goodness.

Rabbi David looks at the way God’s lovingkindness and truth work together, and how they can work in us to reveal the nature of God to Israel and the world.

New Covenant Priests

Beth Israel Messianic Congregation — Sat, 16 Feb 2008 15:30:58 +0000

Rabbi David Levine

Saturday, Yom Shabbat, February 16, 2008

Parsha Tetzaveh: Exodus 27:20–30:10

Haftorah: Ezekiel 43:10-27

In this far-reaching look at first generation Messianic Judaism, Rabbi David Levine speaks of the deep spiritual perspective that Peter brings as a shaliach, or apostle, to the Jewish people. In his first letter, Peter takes up a profound theme that the Messianic Jews in the Diaspora are to serve as priests, even to the Gentile nations, so that people everywhere can be reconciled to the God of Israel. Rabbi David explores the heart and function of New Covenant priests, and shows their connection to the Levitical priesthood described in this week’s Torah portion.

Serving In Our Priestly Ministries

Beth Israel Messianic Congregation — Sat, 16 Feb 2008 00:30:56 +0000

Rabbi David Levine

Friday, Erev Shabbat, February 15, 2008

Parsha Tetzaveh: Exodus 27:20–30:10

Haftorah: Ezekiel 43:10-27

Israel is called to be a holy nation, and to represent God’s holiness to one another and the world around us. Part of our holy call is to serve God and one another in a priestly way. Rabbi David Levine speaks from the Torah portion about the priestly ministry within Israel, and how that ministry is extended through the New Covenant.

What is Important to God, And What Does That Tell Us About Him?

Beth Israel Messianic Congregation — Sat, 02 Feb 2008 00:30:16 +0000

Rabbi David Levine

Erev Shabbat, Friday, February 1, 2008

Parsha Mishpatim (Exodus 21-24)

Haftorah (Jeremiah 34:8-22, 33:25,26) Torah is often translated Law, but it also means Instruction. The laws in the Torah tell us what is important to God. And that tells us a great deal about him. In this message, Rabbi David Levine looks at the Ten Commandments and some of the laws of God, and gives us insights into the heart of God and how our daily lives can reflect his love and justice.

Building a Nation, Rebuilding our Lives Together

Beth Israel Messianic Congregation — Sat, 26 Jan 2008 15:30:25 +0000

Rabbi David Levine

Yom Shabbat, Saturday, January 26, 2008

Parsha Yitro (Exodus 18-20)

Haftorah (Isaiah 6:1-76, 9:6-7)

Israel came out of Egypt by faith. Now it was time to build the nation, and to rebuild the lives of the people together. At first Moses was overwhelmed by the problems and conflicts between the people. But Yitro (Jethro) counseled him to use another approach. Rabbi David describes six principles which helped Israel become a holy nation, and how those same principles are useful today.

Fearless Faith and the Seasons of Life

Beth Israel Messianic Congregation — Sat, 26 Jan 2008 00:30:28 +0000

Rabbi David Levine

Erev Shabbat, Friday, January 25, 2008

Parsha Yitro (Exodus 18-20)

Haftorah (Isaiah 6:1-76, 9:6-7)

Moses returns to Mount Sinai, and tells his father-in-law Yitro (Jethro) about all the Lord had done for him and Israel in the Exodus. The Book of Hebrews says that faith was working throughout the Exodus. In this family service message, Rabbi David talks about the way faith was working in Moses’ life, from his childhood, into his adolescence, and as an adult, and how Passover faith spread to all of the children of Israel at the Red Sea.

Stand with Israel: Learning God’s Pattern

Beth Israel Messianic Congregation — Sat, 19 Jan 2008 15:30:18 +0000

Rabbi David Levine

Parsha B’shalach (Exodus 13:17-17:16)

Haftorah: Judges 4:4-5:31

The Children of Israel learned much about God during the Exodus from Egypt. The way God stood with Israel then is a pattern for today. Rabbi David Levine’s message will help you learn a pattern so you too stand with Israel as you stand with God.

Can You Count On God?

Beth Israel Messianic Congregation — Sat, 19 Jan 2008 00:30:26 +0000

Rabbi David Levine

Erev Shabbat, Friday night, January 18, 2008

Parsha B’shalach (Exodus 13:17-17:16)

Haftorah: Judges 4:4-5:31

At the Red Sea, the Children of Israel face an extraordinary trial. Will they be able to depend on God? This is a question that every person faces. In this encouraging message, Rabbi David Levine speaks about four qualities of God’s faithfulness that Israel learned during the Exodus.

What Makes Faith Work?

Beth Israel Messianic Congregation — Sat, 12 Jan 2008 15:30:54 +0000

Rabbi David Levine

Yom Shabbat, Saturday, January 12, 2008

Parsha Bo (Exodus 10:1-13:16)

Haftorah: Jeremiah 46:13-28

What made Moses’ faith work? What were the qualities of his faith? Rabbi David Levine examines the faith of Moses as he leads the children of Israel out of Egypt. In this down-to-earth message, Rabbi David focuses on four essential qualities of faith which work together to make our faith in God effective. This message will strengthen your ability to walk with God, and to complete the assignments he has given you.

Four Sticks of Faith

Beth Israel Messianic Congregation — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 14:00:35 +0000

Rabbi David Levine

Parsha Bo (Exodus 10:1-13:16)

Haftorah: Jeremiah 46:13-28

Moses was faithful to God’s assignment that he bring the children of Israel out of Egypt and out of slavery. It took great risk, boldness and confidence. It required perseverance, action, and unity. Rabbi David describes these qualities in a memorable teaching about faith and faithfulness. This message will encourage you to stick it out to the very end, just like Moses did.

God’s Revelation and His Names

Beth Israel Messianic Congregation — Sat, 05 Jan 2008 15:30:42 +0000

Rabbi David Levine

Yom Shabbat, Saturday, January 05, 2008

Parsha Vayera (Genesis 6:2-9:35)

Abraham, Isaac and Jacob related to God as El Shaddai. But God said to Moses, there is more to me than that. I am YHVH. Rabbi David looks at the topic of God’s revelation, comparing three revelations of God, three ways of relating to God, and three names of God.

The Purpose of Prophecy and Prophetic Warnings

Beth Israel Messianic Congregation — Sat, 05 Jan 2008 03:50:44 +0000

Parsha Va’era (Exodus 6:2-9:35)

Haftorah: Ezekiel 28:25-29:21

Rabbi David Levine

Many people treat Biblical prophecies primarily as predictions of the future, but they may be missing the main point. Rabbi David compares Moses’ prophetic words to Pharaoh with Jonah’s prophetic words to Nineveh to illustrate the primary purpose of prophecy and prophetic warnings.

Who do you say that I am?

Beth Israel Messianic Congregation — Sat, 29 Dec 2007 19:16:40 +0000

Parsha Sh’mot (Exodus 1:1-6:1)

Haftorah: Isaiah 27:6-28:13, 29:22-23

Additional references to Luke 2:25-35, Mark 8:27-29

Rabbi David Levine

Yom Shabbat, Saturday, December 29, 2007

The way we see another person determines our attitudes and our behavior towards him. A new Pharaoh forgot Joseph’s service to Egypt, and viewed the children of Israel as enemies. He hated them and enslaved them, and ordered a pogrom to kill their newborn sons. That’s when Moses was born, and both his mother and Pharaoh’s daughter saw that he was special to God so they protected him. These two women saw Moses through God’s eyes. Decades later, God used Moses to rescue the Jewish people from Egyptian slavery.

Two thousand years ago another Jewish baby boy, Yeshua, was born, and he was brought to the Jerusalem temple for Pidyon HaBen, the redemption of the first born son. An elderly Jewish man saw this baby through God’s eyes, and recognized he was the Messiah. Since that time, Jewish people have had many opinions about the identity of Messiah. Rabbi David Levine says the most important question each of us will ever answer is the one Yeshua asked, “Who do you say that I am?” This message will provoke you to consider carefully how you see other people, and help you see them through God’s eyes.

Eyes that See, Ears that Hear, Hearts that Understand

Beth Israel Messianic Congregation — Fri, 28 Dec 2007 16:22:16 +0000

Parsha Shemot: Exodus 1:1-6:1

Haftorah: Isaiah 27:6-28:13, 29:22-23

Additional references to Luke 2:25-35, Mark 8:27-29 and Isaiah 6:10

Rabbi David Levine

Erev Shabbat, Friday, December 28, 2007

In this special message for families, Rabbi David speaks about the importance of paying attention to what God wants us to see and hear. He talks about how Moses and Yeshua were special, even when they were newborn babies, and how others noticed them. This practical message for all ages concludes with the celebration of Seudat HaMashiach, the Meal of Messiah.

Joseph’s heart and the heart of God’s Shepherds

Beth Israel Messianic Congregation — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 18:42:10 +0000

Parsha Vayechi: Genesis 47:28-50:26

Erev Shabbat, Friday, December 21, 2007

Rabbi David Levine

Joseph sees God’s hand at work through all the suffering caused by his brothers. What was it about Joseph that allowed him to see God’s purposes at work? It started with Joseph’s loyalty to God, but Rabbi David Levine notices that it goes far deeper.

Listen to this message to learn how your heart can become more like Joseph’s, one of God’s true shepherds.

Genesis 44:18-47:27 with references to Matthew 16:21-26

Saturday, Yom Shabbat, December 15, 2007

Rabbi David Levine

Haftorah: Ezekiel 37:15-28 Joseph reveals himself to his brothers, and forgives their sin and all the suffering they caused him. When he is reunited with his father, Jacob, it is like life from the dead. Rabbi David says, “When you understand the depth of Joseph’s love for his brothers, you will better understand Yeshua’s love for the Jewish people.”

Life from the Dead

Parsha VaYigash (He came near) Genesis 44:18-47:27 with references to Matthew 16:21-26 and Luke 2:25-35

Haftorah: Ezekiel 37:15-28

“I am Joseph, who you sold to Egypt. I am Joseph, your brother.” With these words, Joseph reveals himself to his brothers. One of the most emotion-filled stories in the Bible comes to life as Rabbi David Levine tells how God saved the Jewish people through the suffering of Joseph. Rabbi David weaves together the story of Joseph with the Jewish tradition of Messiah son of Joseph, the suffering servant. This fascinating presentation will touch your heart and may bring you to tears. Discover how God brings people out of suffering and into the fulfillment of a God-centered life. It’s like life from the dead.

His brothers did not recognize him

Beth Israel Messianic Congregation — Sun, 09 Dec 2007 00:46:13 +0000

Parsha: Miketz - Genesis 41:1-44:17 with John 10:22-25

Rabbi David Levine

The Torah reading at Hanukkah is always about Joseph. So it always tells the story of a Jewish man rejected by his brothers, misunderstood and mistreated by them, how that man is forgotten by his Jewish family, and how the very ones who reject him are most depending on his mercy, and don’t even know it.

Rabbi David Levine compares the treatment of Joseph with the treatment Yeshua received at Hanukkah in Jerusalem when he spoke about being the Messiah.

God of the Forgotten and Forsaken

Beth Israel Messianic Congregation — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 12:30:33 +0000

Rabbi David Levine

Friday, December 7, 2007

Parsha Mikeitz (Genesis 41:1 - 44:17) with Hanukkah references to John 10:22-25

Haftorah 1 Kings 3:15-41

The story of Joseph is always read during Hanukkah. Rabbi David Levine connects the life of Joseph with the story of Yeshua at Hanukkah. This message will encourage anyone who has faced rejection, betrayal, and family conflict. Rabbi David’s timely message opens up the identity of Messiah, the Suffering Servant, who is traditionally identified as the Son of Joseph.

God of the Heart-broken

Beth Israel Messianic Congregation — Sun, 02 Dec 2007 01:45:05 +0000

Rabbi David Levine

Parsha: VaYeshev - Genesis 37-40 with additional references to Isaiah 61

The life of Joseph is troubled with family rejection and slavery. But Joseph lives for God in the midst of heart-breaking circumstances. Yeshua’s proclamation of the good news of the Kingdom centered first on Isaiah 61, where the prophet says the anointed of God has good news for the broken hearted and those in prison (and others too). Rabbi David shows how Joseph’s life of faith connects to the good news proclaimed by Isaiah and demonstrated by Yeshua.

Joseph and the Blessing of Abraham

God, Man, or Angel - Who was that with Jacob

Beth Israel Messianic Congregation — Sun, 25 Nov 2007 02:17:46 +0000

Parsha VaYishlach

Genesis 32:3–36:43

Rabbi David Levine

This parsha describes the wrestling between Jacob and the one who is described as a Man, God, and an Angel. Rabbi David’s message describes several different Jewish attempts to identify this mysterious person, and relates them to Messianic Jewish understandings. This is a thought-provoking message for everyone who takes the Jewish Bible and the God of Israel seriously.

Israel, The God-Wrestler

Beth Israel Messianic Congregation — Sat, 24 Nov 2007 00:30:19 +0000

Rabbi David Levine

Parsha: VaYishlach

Genesis 32:3-36:43

Jacob wrestles with a mysterious one, and has his name changed to Israel, which means both “God-wrestler” and “God Rules.” Jacob says afterwards he saw God and lived, a declaration of great import and power because it helps prepare us for accepting that God can come to earth in many forms, including that of a man. Rabbi David discusses how the those of us today who are dedicated to the God of Israel will also have to wrestle with him in their own ways.

Loving the Jewish people God’s way

Beth Israel Messianic Congregation — Sat, 17 Nov 2007 16:02:31 +0000

Parsha VaYetzeh (And Jacob went out)

Genesis 28:10-32; Hosea 12:13-14:9

Rabbi David Levine

Yom Shabbat, November 17, 2007

Love one another in the way I have loved you, Yeshua commanded his disciples. To fulfill this commandment we need to understand how God loves his people Israel. This message based on Parsha VaYetzeh describes God’s promise of faithful love to Jacob in concrete terms. Rabbi David also shows how Ruth’s love for Israel and the God of Israel demonstrated just such love. This is a message that will help you practice God’s love in your daily life, and will help protect you from mere sentimentalities and vague feelings which can substitute for or masquerade as real love.

The Wells of Abraham: Jewish identity and Messiah

Beth Israel Messianic Congregation — Sun, 11 Nov 2007 02:59:11 +0000

Parsha Toldot Rabbi David Levine

Yom Shabbat, Saturday, November 10, 2007

Spoken at Congregation Beth Hallel in Roswell (Atlanta) GA.

Jewish identity is a rich inheritance. Rabbi David Levine talks about the value of Jewishness, and compares it to the wells which Abraham dug for his flocks in Canaan. His son, Isaac, had to re-open those wells, because the local Philistines had filled them in. And Isaac went further, digging more wells, and prospering greatly. In this stirring message, Rabbi David discusses the profound integration of Jewish identity and faith in Messiah that Yeshua’s disciples experienced on the mountain when they saw Messiah with Moses and Elijah.

Re-opening the Wells of Our Inheritance

Beth Israel Messianic Congregation — Sat, 10 Nov 2007 03:23:42 +0000

Rabbi David Levine Parsha Toldot Genesis 25:19-28:9; Malachi 1:1-2:7

The riches of our Jewish heritage are passed down from generation to generation. Rabbi David Levine speaks from Parsha Toldot about the need to recover our spiritual inheritance, and compares it to the way Isaac had to re-open wells which Abraham had dug, but which had been filled in by the Philistines. This message will strengthen your faith, and your commitment to Jewish life and spirituality.

Parsha Balak: Numbers 22:2-25:9

The story of Balaam and the talking donkey has fascinated young and old alike, and this week, Rabbi David brings a message for all age groups. Though this Bible story has an element of the fantastic in it, Rabbi David shows how the Bible treats it as a significant episode in history filled with important details and lessons.

He tells the story from the Torah Portion in Numbers, and brings additional insights from other scriptures, including 2 Peter 2:15, Revelation 2:14, and Micah 6:5.

The harlot’s son who became a Jewish leader

Beth Israel Messianic Congregation — Sat, 23 Jun 2007 15:30:57 +0000

The story of Jepthah, the judge of Israel Rabbi David Levine Saturday, June 23, 2007 Parsha Khukat Haftarah: Judges 11:1-33

Jepthah, the son of a harlot, was disinherited by his Jewish half-brothers, and sent away from his home in Gilead. Through great rejection and testing, God brought him back into the family, and made Jephthah a victorious leader of Israel.

Rabbi David brings life to this story and helps make sense out of a perplexing passage which describes Jepthah’s offering of his virgin daughter to the God of Israel.

This is a great message for anyone who is facing the challenges of being joined to the Jewish people. (Note: Listen to the Friday night message from June 22 for Rabbi David’s teaching from the Torah portion in Numbers 19-22:1).
