Torah
HIDE DESCRIPTIONFrom the beginning of time, the Torah (literally, God’s “instruction”) has provided a window for man to look into the heart and mind of his Creator. Historically, the word Torah has been used to refer to the first five books of the Bible (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy). But Torah isn’t limited to just five books; it encompasses the entirety of God’s divine instruction throughout the “Old Testament.” Unfortunately, when most people hear the word Torah they immediately think “law,” which evokes a negative response. But God’s instruction leads to life! Let us help you learn what God’s Torah really is and what it actually says. We want you to experience the Torah as God’s eternal instruction and revelation for humanity. When you encounter His word, His will, and His way from a truly Torah-oriented perspective, it will enrich and change your life forever!

In Hebrew Gospel Pearls PLUS #27, Faithful Obedience, Nehemia and Keith discuss the “survival kit” that got Nehemia through his Orthodox Jewish high school, do a deep dive on the semitic meaning behind the word “Pharisee”, and read in the Prophets about the group whom Yehovah holds up as an example for us today.
This episode introduces God’s commission to Jonah, sending him to cry out against the great city of Nineveh. Taking special note of God’s statement that the evil of Nineveh had risen to heaven, Keith ponders whether, even in our time, evil acts may be reaching heaven.
In the third episode of our deep-dive study into the book of Jonah, “How Far Will You Go?”, Keith begins by asking if there is a way to avoid the things of God—a way to “exit the arena” where God is working. This verse tells us that Jonah arose, as God had told him.
In this fourth episode—Getting God’s Attention—Keith begins by asking, “Have you ever thought about how big God is and how small he can be in your life?”
