Rusty slays a sacred cow in the common interpretation of the golden calf arc in Israel's history, shedding light on what each person was going through in those events. The perspectives of Moshe, and most notably, Aaron become shockingly relatable, causing us to consider where we lack leadership and love for God in our lives.
Rabbi Schiller begins a new series on the Book of Habakkuk, looking at why doesn’t God seem to answer our prayers when we’re facing suffering and tragedy, showing that from the LORD’s long-term perspective, He ultimately works all things for good, in ways we cannot see or understand at the time.
In Part 5 of his series on 2 Peter, Rabbi Schiller looks at chapter 3 and the theme of the Day of the LORD and Judgment Day. For those who are in Messiah Yeshua, He has taken on our Judgment Day, and so this is something to look forward to, not to fear.
In Part 4 of Rabbi Schiller’s series on 2 Peter, he looks at the theme of false teachers, with the emphasis that all false teachers, in one way or another, deny the Sovereign LORD who bought them.
God doesn't just watch from afar—He yearns to live among us, His beloved creation! In this moving drash, explore how our Creator's deepest desire is to surround you with His unfailing love, heal your heart, and invite you into intimate fellowship.
In this powerful sermon, we unpack the story of Jonah from the Bible – not just the childhood Sunday school version with the big fish, but the raw, challenging reality. Discover how Jonah defies God's call to preach to Nineveh, running in the opposite direction because he can't stomach the idea of mercy for a pagan nation. Jonah's grudge runs deep: he wants the Ninevites to face judgment, not repentance, while questioning why God isn't showing the same grace to Israel.<br />This message is a wake-up call to examine our hearts, release bitterness, and embrace forgiveness just as God does.<br />Whether you're exploring Bible stories for the first time or seeking fresh insights into faith, repentance, and divine mercy, this sermon will transform your perspective on Jonah and inspire real-life application.
For Yom Kippur Day 2025, Rabbi Schiller looks at Isaiah 6 and the theme of encountering the reality of God, which is especially His holiness, as an essential prerequisite to a life-transforming relationship with Messiah.
For Erev Yom Kippur, Rabbi Schiller challenges us to define our relationship with Y’Shua, and see if it is one of a casual admirer or a committed follower.
