Heart of Messiah

Shalom! We continue our series Journeying with God. After receiving Yeshua and learning to trust God and His Word (Step 1), this week we focus on Step 2: Obedience. Rabbi teaches that the evidence of a changed life is marked by obedience, which flows from God’s love for us (2 Corinthians 5:14-15) and is not burdensome (1 John 5:3).

We look at powerful biblical examples — Abraham’s complete trust and obedience in Genesis 22, and Saul’s partial obedience in 1 Samuel 15 where “to obey is better than sacrifice.” The message emphasizes that real obedience requires specific sacrifice and surrender of our will, speech, emotions, and even our countenance. Drawing from John 15 and Matthew 16:24, we are challenged to deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow Yeshua so that His joy may be in us.

The fire of Your coming, the glory of Your presence will shake the earth — and every heart will know You are Messiah, Yeshua HaMashiach, Lion of Judah, the God of Israel.

Shalom! We continue our new series Journeying with God with Step 1: Trusting God and His Word. After receiving Yeshua, the next vital step is learning to trust Him fully — especially when life gets difficult. Rabbi shares why trust doesn’t always come naturally, but it grows as we know God’s faithful character through Scripture.

Hear encouraging verses like Proverbs 3:5-6, Romans 8:28, Psalm 28:7, Isaiah 26:3, and more, plus practical ways to build trust: dwelling on God’s promises, declaring them, and choosing to live life “His way” even when emotions say otherwise. This foundational teaching will help you overcome doubt, anger, and fear while experiencing the benefits of a trusting relationship with the Lord.

The fire of Your coming, the glory of Your presence will shake the earth — and every heart will know You are Messiah, Yeshua HaMashiach, Lion of Judah, the God of Israel.

Shalom! We launch a new teaching series called Beginning with God, beginning with the essential first step: committing your life to Yeshua. Rabbi shares how salvation is a conscious decision to receive Messiah as Lord, not something inherited by family or tradition. Hear clear Scriptures on being born again (John 3:3), confessing with the mouth and believing in the heart (Romans 10:9-10), and the beautiful transformation described in 2 Corinthians 5:17 — becoming a new creation.

This episode also lists many wonderful benefits of knowing the Lord (forgiveness, eternal life, peace, purpose, and more) and includes a simple, sincere prayer you can pray to receive or recommit your life to Yeshua.

Shalom! In the days following our nation’s 250th anniversary, we continue unpacking the Declaration of Independence, focusing this week on the precious right to liberty. We open with thanksgiving for the freedoms we enjoy and prayer for unity and God’s Spirit to move in our country and its leaders.

Rabbi teaches how biblical liberty is not “freedom to do anything” but freedom from sin’s bondage, guarded by love for God and neighbor. Hear practical Scriptures that help us use freedom responsibly so it doesn’t become a stumbling block or opportunity for the flesh. This message ties directly into the July 4th Haggadah and encourages us to celebrate with faith and purpose all year long.

Shalom! Yesterday we celebrated our nation’s 250th birthday, and today we continue reflecting on the meaning of true independence. We open with thanksgiving for the freedoms and blessings we enjoy in America, then dive into Psalm 33:12 and the biblical foundations of life and liberty as declared in the Declaration of Independence.

Rabbi explores the seven scientific characteristics of life and shows how God’s Word perfectly equips us for each one — from organization and growth to reproduction and adaptation — emphasizing that real freedom comes through dependence on the Lord. This message is filled with practical wisdom for personal life, family, and our nation.

Rabbi continues walking through the Spiritual Warfare booklet, focusing on the power of proclaiming and declaring Scripture — especially Isaiah 61:1-4 (the passage Yeshua read in the synagogue) and Philippians 4:4-8. Learn how to let God’s Word transform you into someone who rejoices always, walks in gentleness, stays free from anxiety, and becomes an oak of righteousness.

Shalom! What a joy it is to come together after celebrating Shavuot, the Feast of Weeks and Pentecost. In this episode we unpack why this biblical feast is so important, its connection to the counting of the Omer, and the powerful parallels between the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in Acts 2. Discover the meaning behind the two leavened loaves, the unity between Jew and Gentile, the Law written on our hearts, and how Shavuot represents both the birth of Israel as a nation and the birth of the Spirit-empowered body of believers.

We also share a special Spiritual Warfare booklet filled with Scripture on praise, confession, forgiveness, proclamation, intercession, and more to help you draw closer to God and walk in victory. Plus, hear a heartfelt prayer for President Trump, his cabinet, and our nation.

We then continue with Part 2 of the powerful teaching “Repentance Leads to Revival” — unpacking what genuine repentance (teshuvah) really means, biblical examples of turning from sin, lists of deeds of the flesh we must address, and inspiring stories of personal and corporate revival, including the Asbury Revival and a powerful move of God at a school.

As we continue counting the Omer leading toward Shavuot, this powerful message explores the spiritual journey of repentance, humility, and revival. Through Scripture, Rabbi reminds us that true revival begins when we return to God with humble hearts, seek His presence, and allow Him to restore us spiritually. Drawing from Genesis, Acts, Isaiah, and Proverbs, this teaching challenges believers to move away from judgment, gossip, division, and pride while embracing grace, obedience, and reconciliation.

The message also highlights the importance of praying for Israel, America, unity among believers, and wisdom for world leaders during uncertain times. With practical examples from everyday life, family relationships, and personal struggles, listeners are encouraged to reflect on their own hearts and pursue deeper intimacy with the Lord. This is a timely and heartfelt call to repentance, spiritual awakening, and preparing for a fresh outpouring of God’s Spirit during the season of Shavuot.

We then play a powerful and timely message by Pastor Vlad Savchuk about God’s unbreakable promises to the Jewish people, the biblical case for Israel’s right to the land, the spiritual battle behind anti-Semitism, and a strong warning against replacement theology. This anointed teaching will strengthen your faith and help you stand on the truth of Scripture concerning Israel.

Is today’s state of Israel the fulfillment of biblical prophecy, or has a software glitch fueled ancient anti-Semitic tropes? In this episode, we dive deep into the mounting controversy surrounding Israel that is causing significant division within the nation and the church. We begin with a focus on grace, exploring the challenge of extending it to others, especially when we feel they deserve justice instead.

To explore this week's theme, we listen to compelling insights from several key speakers:

• Dr. Michael Brown poses and answers the critical question, "Is God a Zionist?" defining Zionism and making a strong, scripture-based case for why God’s eternal covenant ensures the Jewish people have a lasting homeland in Israel.

• We then examine a fiery panel discussion on the DAF Show with Myra, where a Christian from Israel challenges the narrative of Christian persecution there, arguing that much of what is seen online is propaganda, while the panel also addresses the distinction between individual acts of hostility and inherent systemic issues.

• Finally, Chuck Holton outlines the gravity of the problem, revealing how a machine error in the Epstein document leak inadvertently resurrected the medieval "blood libel" accusation. Holton traces how influencers like Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson have used this to push anti-Semitic narratives and how a 30-point collapse in support for Israel among young evangelicals (from 65% to 32% in six years) points to a deliberate theological and ideological campaign.

Join us as we explore whether the very existence of Israel is a satanic enterprise or a divine decree. Tune in now and prepare for next week’s continuation, where we will move beyond the problems to provide answers on how to navigate and discuss this critical issue.

Welcome to Heart of Messiah, a Messianic Jewish teaching ministry focused on reconciliation, biblical truth, and a heart like Messiah Yeshua.

In this powerful episode, Rabbi shares a timely devotional from Isaiah 40:28-31 and Romans 5:5, encouraging listeners to wait on Adonai so their strength can be renewed like eagles’ wings. He then continues the important series on Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day), highlighting righteous Gentiles like Oskar Schindler and Dietrich Bonhoeffer who risked everything to save Jewish lives. The teaching also confronts the painful history of antisemitism, including Martin Luther’s later writings, while emphasizing that words matter — they shape ideas, actions, and even history.

Listeners are challenged with practical lessons from the Holocaust: remember so it doesn’t happen again, bless the Lord at all times, refuse to be ruled by the past, forgive, respond with action, and use words for good. A strong call is made for reconciliation with God and others, unity in the body of Messiah, and standing against hatred and division in today’s world.

Next, we dive into the moving chronology of Yeshua’s last week: His Passover Seder, crucifixion on preparation day, burial before sundown, the special Sabbaths, and His glorious resurrection on the third day—explained clearly from a Hebrew perspective.

We also begin our special teaching for Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day): Never forget, never again, never be silent. Learn the history of the Shoah, the spiritual roots of anti-Semitism, and why standing against evil and for truth matters more than politics today.

In this powerful episode, Rabbi Steve Weiler opens with anointed worship declaring: "The fire of Your coming, the glory of Your presence will shake the earth... You are Messiah, Yeshua HaMashiach, Lion of Judah, the God of Israel."

Join Rabbi Weiler as he continues his vital series on the truth about Israel, addressing common objections head-on: Is Israel committing genocide in Gaza? Is it an apartheid or colonizing state? Why the ongoing presence in certain territories? With clarity and compassion, he contrasts Israel's efforts to minimize civilian casualties and desire for peace with Hamas's charter calling for the eradication of Jews "from the river to the sea."

Drawing from Scripture (Genesis 13, 15, 17; Psalm 83 & 129; Isaiah 27 & 35; Zephaniah 3), archaeology, international law, and Jewish tradition—like the Passover Seder's respect for life—Rabbi Weiler shows God's everlasting covenant with the land and people of Israel. He also explores why some Jews oppose Zionism and reminds us that Israel's flourishing desert blooms testify to God's faithfulness.

Plus, discover the biblical practice of Counting the Omer—the 50-day journey from Passover to Shavuot (Pentecost)—linking redemption and revelation. This year's devotional focuses on being a disciple of Yeshua, with daily Scriptures, thoughts, challenges, journaling, and special Shabbat sections for inviting family and friends. Perfect for deepening your faith and sharing with others!

Episode Highlights:

• Heartfelt opening prayer for unity, Israel, and our nation
• Why Israel values life while Hamas uses human shields and diverts aid for terror
• Prophetic promises of restoration and blessing through Israel
• How to participate in Counting the Omer starting April 2026

In this powerful episode of Heart of Messiah, Rabbi Steven Weiler opens with heartfelt worship declaring Yeshua HaMashiach as the Lion of Judah and God of Israel, followed by a prayer for peace, comfort for grieving families, and an end to aggression so all may know God's love.

Amid widespread misinformation flooding media and social platforms, Rabbi Weiler cuts through the noise to share biblical truth about Israel's divine right to the land—rooted in Genesis, Leviticus, and God's eternal promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He explores archaeological evidence of 3,000+ years of Jewish presence and international law milestones like the 1922 League of Nations Mandate, San Remo Conference, Anglo-American Convention, and 1948 UN admission.

Addressing common accusations head-on: Why Israel is not an apartheid state (equal rights for Arab citizens, no racial laws), not a colonizer (no resource exploitation of foreign lands), and not committing genocide (warnings before strikes, respect for life even of enemies, contrasted with Hamas' use of human shields and stated intent to destroy Israel). He reviews key history: the 1967 defensive war gains, Sinai return for peace, 2005 Gaza withdrawal leading to ongoing rockets, and October 7th horrors.

Tune in for clarity, scriptural encouragement, and practical responses to tough conversations—whether you're a believer standing on God's Word or seeking factual, legal grounding.

Join us as we seek the heart of Messiah and bring peace, comfort, and truth in troubled times.
