Parashah Points: Vayera – Abraham's Ethical Dilemma

In this week’s Parashah Point, Vayera, we look at Genesis 18 and see what it really means to do the works of Abraham by showing hospitality to our neighbors like he did.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion Lech Lecha, we review the call of Abraham found in Genesis 12:1-3. Just as Abraham was called out from his life to go into a new place, we too are called to leave our old lives behind to follow YHWH by walking as Messiah walked.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the portion named, Mishpatim, we look at the commandment in Exodus 23:4-5 about helping our neighbor, even if that neighbor is an enemy or someone we hate. We see how we cannot be ruled by our emotions because sometimes our emotions may actually cause us to break the Torah.

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.
