In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portioned called Emor, we see the command to count seven weeks in Leviticus 23:15-16. We take a brief look at what this is about and how it is still relevant to believers today.
Leviticus 23 lists the Creator’s appointed times—Sabbath, Passover, Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits, Weeks (Pentecost), Trumpets, Day of Atonement, and Tabernacles. These festivals are God’s “appointed times” and sacred assemblies, not merely “Jewish holidays.” This Parashah Point explains the significance of each feast and shows how they reveal God’s plan of redemption and point to Messiah. Believers are encouraged to understand and honor these appointed times as part of God’s instruction for His people.
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion called Vayikra, we do something a little different. There are many who find Leviticus boring and unnecessary in the modern world. So today, we want to look at why Leviticus matters, or should matter, to believers today.
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion called Ki Tavo, we read Deuteronomy 26:11 which includes the command to rejoice. Even if we don’t always feel like rejoicing, don’t feel thankful, or don’t feel grateful, we need to rejoice in our Father’s provision.
This Parashah Point examines the Torah portion Acharei Mot and focuses on Leviticus 18. God told Israel not to imitate the immoral practices of Egypt and Canaan but to keep His statutes. The chapter then lists various prohibited sexual relationships—incest, adultery, same‑sex relations, and bestiality—and warns that these abominations defile the land and invite God’s judgment. The teaching affirms that God’s standards for sexual purity are part of His moral law and still apply to believers today.
