How do the three topics of Shemini – Aaron beginning the Tabernacle service, the deaths of his two sons, and the food laws – fit into the spiritual calendar? Topics in this year’s Shemini teaching include the numbers “7” and “8,” working on the nephesh during the Omer, and “misplaced zeal.” Shemini 2023 (David): Vimeo | YouTube […]

In parsha Beshalach, David explores the sending out of missionaries, the need to know when to get moving, leaps of faith, the great power God makes available to us, unity through song, and Tu BiSh’vat (the new year for trees).

This week, David Deikun brings us a teaching that brings together the yearly calendar, Torah portions Lech Lecha and Vayera, the book of Joshua, and an application to Beth Tikkun’s next phase of life. The center of the teaching is Abraham’s role as the prophet who receives the initial “vision” and the importance of refreshing […]
After reviewing an insight from a previous teaching on this parshah, we put forward a thought about Moses and then the idea that the ending of the Torah really doesn’t feel like the end of the story. Israel stands on the cusp of the Land, ready to enter…and the Torah cycle returns to B’reisheet, Genesis. […]

This week we again step away from our study in Corinthians for a teaching focused on the times, both the growth stage of the Beth Tikkun community and the dark days the world is entering. To begin, we look at God’s use of spiritual templates that express themselves in multiple ways in the physical world. […]
Nehemiah 8 soars above the other chapters of the book like a soul moored in the heavens. As we approach the fall holidays mentioned in this chapter, we briefly review Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and Sukkot. The main body of the teaching is a comparison of the Egyptian and Babylonian exiles, leading to an important […]
Climbing to the heights of Ephesians 3, we ask a couple of questions: “How is Messiah the Cornerstone of the Jewish people?” and “Why does Paul say the Gentile inclusion has not been made known previously?” In addition to addressing these questions, we continue our process of defining terms: grace, gospel/preach, faith/believe. We also get […]
As we open up Ephesians 2 this week, we define two more critically important terms: “church” and “aion/olam,” variously translated as “world,” or “age,” or “eternity.” Moving on, we explore a key difference between humanity and the animals. Next, we suggest an important tweak to the common understanding of “salvation by grace through faith.” Finally, […]
These two Torah portions witness several of the most monumental events in Scripture, including the crossing of the Red Sea, Israel’s battle with Amalek, and the giving of the Ten Words at Mt. Sinai. Our focus for this year is a comparison of the two battles that bookend parshah Beshalach, the clashes with Egypt and […]
We begin this cycle’s parshah Toldot teaching with a brief look at how the Torah goes far beyond what a human would design for a religious book with its unexpected collections of stories and geneologies and building plans — all layered with unending levels of meaning. With that introduction, we discuss the interesting story of […]
In this second teaching from Hebrews chapter 6, we focus on the first two elementary principles of the faith: 1) repentence from dead works and 2) faith toward God. In the usual Evangelical paradigm, these two principles seem to be reversed; faith should come before repentance, belief before action. In reality, the author of Hebrews […]
In this second teaching focusing on the community of Beth Tikkun, we present 8 core beliefs the elders have identified as foundational to the fellowship. After listing all 8, we focus in on the first belief, the oneness of God, using Dennis Prager’s new commentary on Exodus as a helpful resource for exploring this idea. […]
While Grant was attending a conference in Richmond, Virginia, Rob Horger (president of Beth Tikkun) filled in. Rob shared an amazing account of what, at first, would seem to be a great tragedy, but, through God’s grace, was a tremendous blessing. This is a powerful account that illustrates how great our God truly is.
Join Beth Tikkun as we continue our study in Matthew’s gospel. In this study we compare the transfiguration on the mountain with the exorcism in the valley and discover a prophetic message. Then we consider what Yeshua was really teaching concerning faith the size of a mustard seed (and it isn’t what you think it is!). We then […]
Join Beth Tikkun as we study the book of Esther during this Purim season. In this study we look at some of the fascinating things revealed in the Hebrew of this amazing book. We will look at the hidden connections to some of Yeshua’s teachings. We will also see how God’s NAME is to be […]
Join Beth Tikkun as we continue our study in the book of James. In this study we complete the 2nd chapter and consider James’ remarks about faith and works. We also consider the deception of demonic theology and demonic wisdom. We then begin a comparison of James 2 with the Sermon on the Mount in […]
Join Beth Tikkun as we continue our study of Hebrews. In this study we continue to look at the subject of faith with a special emphasis on Abraham, the “father of all who believe”. We analyze the author’s choice of particular details of Abraham’s life to reveal practical applications for our walk of faith. We […]
