The Heart of the Matter

Yeshua’s Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5–7) is a guide to living in God’s kingdom. This teaching walks through Yeshua’s instructions on topics like anger, lust, divorce, oaths, loving enemies, fasting, giving and prayer. It highlights how Yeshua calls His followers to fulfill the Torah from the heart.

What did Yeshua mean when he said looking at a woman with lustful intent is adultery in the heart? Was he setting an impossible standard—or affirming the Tenth Commandment against coveting? This powerful teaching explores Matthew 5:27–30 with Torah context and clarity, addressing the heart behind sexual sin. In this teaching, we unpack Yeshua’s words in Matthew 5 about lustful intent. Many have interpreted this passage as setting an unattainable moral bar—but does that reflect what the Torah and Yeshua actually say? By examining the language of coveting in Exodus 20, the grammar of Matthew, and related Scripture from James and Genesis, we see that Yeshua is affirming an existing commandment, not raising the bar to impossible heights. This message also speaks clearly to the issues of pornography, inner desires, and modern application—calling believers to redirect their hearts and intentions toward righteousness. Spiritual Takeaway - Yeshua isn’t condemning desire itself—he’s calling us to align our hearts with Torah, refusing to covet what is forbidden and walking in holiness by the Spirit.

Many look up to King David because Scripture calls him a man after God’s own heart. This teaching explores what that phrase means and how we can strive to live in the same way, pursuing God wholeheartedly.

What comes out of your heart is one of the most important things we need to consider. In this live teaching on Mark 7:1-23, we delve into Yeshua's confrontation with the Pharisees regarding tradition, ritual purity, what comes out of the heart, and touch on Messiah's words of food.
