Heart of Messiah

The fire of Your coming, the glory of Your presence will shake the earth — and every heart will know You are Messiah, Yeshua HaMashiach, Lion of Judah, the God of Israel. Shalom! We continue our series Journeying with God. After receiving Yeshua, learning to trust His Word, walking in obedience, developing a heart for God, prioritizing prayer, and cultivating a heart for giving, Step 6 addresses a critical part of the journey: spiritual warfare. Rabbi teaches that every believer is engaged in a real spiritual battle against the forces of darkness. Drawing from Ephesians 6:12, 2 Corinthians 10:3-5, Isaiah 54:17, and other Scriptures, we learn that our struggle is not against people but against spiritual forces in the heavenly places. The message emphasizes the need for a disciplined mind, a heart aligned with God’s ways, the power of the Ruach HaKodesh, and the consistent declaration of God’s Word. Practical helps include lists of 51 biblical character traits and 49 sins to help us stay in right standing with the Lord, plus sample declarative prayers for victory. 📖 Want the free Spiritual Warfare resources (character traits list, sins list, and declarative Scriptures) or the Holy Days Calendar?

The fire of Your coming, the glory of Your presence will shake the earth — and every heart will know You are Messiah, Yeshua HaMashiach, Lion of Judah, the God of Israel. Shalom! We continue our series Journeying with God. After receiving Yeshua, learning to trust His Word, walking in obedience, developing a heart for God, and prioritizing prayer, Step 5 focuses on a heart for giving. Rabbi teaches that generosity is both an expression of faith and evidence of a transformed heart. From Abraham’s tithe to Melchizedek in Genesis 14, to the powerful promises in Malachi 3, Proverbs, 2 Corinthians 9:6-7, and Luke 6:38, we see that God looks at the heart of the giver. Learn why “it is more blessed to give than to receive,” how God promises to open the windows of heaven, and why cheerful, willing giving brings joy, blessing, and spiritual growth. The message also clarifies the difference between tithing to your local congregation and giving offerings to support ministries like this radio program. 📖 Want the Holy Days Calendar for the upcoming appointed times?

Shalom! We continue our series Journeying with God. After receiving Yeshua, learning to trust His Word, and walking in obedience, Step 4 focuses on the powerful call to prayer. Rabbi teaches that prayer is not only how we build a relationship with God, but also the evidence of our faith (Hebrews 11:6). We examine the common barriers that keep us from praying—busyness, discouragement, lack of sleep, and even a judgmental spirit toward group prayer—and look to Yeshua’s example in Gethsemane and His prayer for unity in John 17. This episode also highlights the transforming power of corporate prayer (inspired by the Brooklyn Tabernacle story) and includes a heartfelt intercession for our nation, the upcoming elections, Israel, and revival. A free Prayer Card for the month of Elul is available to help guide your daily prayers. 📖 Want the Prayer Card or previous resources from this series?

Shalom! We continue our series Journeying with God. After receiving Yeshua and learning to trust God and His Word (Step 1), this week we focus on Step 2: Obedience. Rabbi teaches that the evidence of a changed life is marked by obedience, which flows from God’s love for us (2 Corinthians 5:14-15) and is not burdensome (1 John 5:3). We look at powerful biblical examples — Abraham’s complete trust and obedience in Genesis 22, and Saul’s partial obedience in 1 Samuel 15 where “to obey is better than sacrifice.” The message emphasizes that real obedience requires specific sacrifice and surrender of our will, speech, emotions, and even our countenance. Drawing from John 15 and Matthew 16:24, we are challenged to deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow Yeshua so that His joy may be in us. 📖 Want previous resources from this series (Benefits of Salvation list or July 4th Haggadah)?

The fire of Your coming, the glory of Your presence will shake the earth — and every heart will know You are Messiah, Yeshua HaMashiach, Lion of Judah, the God of Israel. Shalom! We continue our new series Journeying with God with Step 1: Trusting God and His Word. After receiving Yeshua, the next vital step is learning to trust Him fully — especially when life gets difficult. Rabbi shares why trust doesn’t always come naturally, but it grows as we know God’s faithful character through Scripture. Hear encouraging verses like Proverbs 3:5-6, Romans 8:28, Psalm 28:7, Isaiah 26:3, and more, plus practical ways to build trust: dwelling on God’s promises, declaring them, and choosing to live life “His way” even when emotions say otherwise. This foundational teaching will help you overcome doubt, anger, and fear while experiencing the benefits of a trusting relationship with the Lord. 📖 Want the list of 18+ Benefits of Salvation or the July 4th Haggadah?

The fire of Your coming, the glory of Your presence will shake the earth — and every heart will know You are Messiah, Yeshua HaMashiach, Lion of Judah, the God of Israel. Shalom! We launch a new teaching series called Beginning with God, beginning with the essential first step: committing your life to Yeshua. Rabbi shares how salvation is a conscious decision to receive Messiah as Lord, not something inherited by family or tradition. Hear clear Scriptures on being born again (John 3:3), confessing with the mouth and believing in the heart (Romans 10:9-10), and the beautiful transformation described in 2 Corinthians 5:17 — becoming a new creation. This episode also lists many wonderful benefits of knowing the Lord (forgiveness, eternal life, peace, purpose, and more) and includes a simple, sincere prayer you can pray to receive or recommit your life to Yeshua. 📖 Want the July 4th Haggadah or the list of Benefits of Salvation?

The fire of Your coming, the glory of Your presence will shake the earth — and every heart will know You are Messiah, Yeshua HaMashiach, Lion of Judah, the God of Israel. Shalom! In the days following our nation’s 250th anniversary, we continue unpacking the Declaration of Independence, focusing this week on the precious right to liberty. We open with thanksgiving for the freedoms we enjoy and prayer for unity and God’s Spirit to move in our country and its leaders. Rabbi teaches how biblical liberty is not “freedom to do anything” but freedom from sin’s bondage, guarded by love for God and neighbor. Hear practical Scriptures that help us use freedom responsibly so it doesn’t become a stumbling block or opportunity for the flesh. This message ties directly into the July 4th Haggadah and encourages us to celebrate with faith and purpose all year long. 📖 Still want the July 4th Haggadah?

The fire of Your coming, the glory of Your presence will shake the earth — and every heart will know You are Messiah, Yeshua HaMashiach, Lion of Judah, the God of Israel. Shalom! Yesterday we celebrated our nation’s 250th birthday, and today we continue reflecting on the meaning of true independence. We open with thanksgiving for the freedoms and blessings we enjoy in America, then dive into Psalm 33:12 and the biblical foundations of life and liberty as declared in the Declaration of Independence. Rabbi explores the seven scientific characteristics of life and shows how God’s Word perfectly equips us for each one — from organization and growth to reproduction and adaptation — emphasizing that real freedom comes through dependence on the Lord. This message is filled with practical wisdom for personal life, family, and our nation. 📖 Still want the July 4th Haggadah? It’s perfect for year-round use!

As we continue counting the Omer leading toward Shavuot, this powerful message explores the spiritual journey of repentance, humility, and revival. Through Scripture, Rabbi reminds us that true revival begins when we return to God with humble hearts, seek His presence, and allow Him to restore us spiritually. Drawing from Genesis, Acts, Isaiah, and Proverbs, this teaching challenges believers to move away from judgment, gossip, division, and pride while embracing grace, obedience, and reconciliation. The message also highlights the importance of praying for Israel, America, unity among believers, and wisdom for world leaders during uncertain times. With practical examples from everyday life, family relationships, and personal struggles, listeners are encouraged to reflect on their own hearts and pursue deeper intimacy with the Lord. This is a timely and heartfelt call to repentance, spiritual awakening, and preparing for a fresh outpouring of God’s Spirit during the season of Shavuot. 🙏 Prayer • Revival • Repentance • Humility • Israel • Shavuot • Restoration #Revival #Repentance #Shavuot #Pentecost #Israel #MessianicJudaism #Yeshua #Faith #BibleTeaching #Prayer #SpiritualAwakening #Torah #Humility #Gossip #ChristianPodcast #Messiah #Scripture #HeartOfMessiah #HolySpirit #SpiritualGrowth

In this episode we continue Counting the Omer (Day 31) with the encouraging theme: “The Lord is faithful — we must be too.” We begin with prayer for a great revival in Iran, for God’s direction in the United States and Israel, and for Him to turn difficult situations for good. We then play a powerful and timely message by Pastor Vlad Savchuk about God’s unbreakable promises to the Jewish people, the biblical case for Israel’s right to the land, the spiritual battle behind anti-Semitism, and a strong warning against replacement theology.

Is today’s state of Israel the fulfillment of biblical prophecy, or has a software glitch fueled ancient anti-Semitic tropes? In this episode, we dive deep into the mounting controversy surrounding Israel that is causing significant division within the nation and the church. We begin with a focus on grace, exploring the challenge of extending it to others, especially when we feel they deserve justice instead. To explore this week's theme, we listen to compelling insights from several key speakers: Dr. Michael Brown poses and answers the critical question, "Is God a Zionist?" defining Zionism and making a strong, scripture-based case for why God’s eternal covenant ensures the Jewish people have a lasting homeland in Israel. We then examine a fiery panel discussion on the DAF Show with Myra, where a Christian from Israel challenges the narrative of Christian persecution there, arguing that much of what is seen online is propaganda, while the panel also addresses the distinction between individual acts of hostility and inherent systemic issues. Finally, Chuck Holton outlines the gravity of the problem, revealing how a machine error in the Epstein document leak inadvertently resurrected the medieval "blood libel" accusation. Holton traces how influencers like Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson have used this to push anti-Semitic narratives and how a 30-point collapse in support for Israel among young evangelicals (from 65% to 32% in six years) points to a deliberate theological and ideological campaign. Join us as we explore whether the very existence of Israel is a satanic enterprise or a divine decree. Tune in now and prepare for next week’s continuation, where we will move beyond the problems to provide answers on how to navigate and discuss this critical issue. #Israel #BiblicalProphecy #Zionism #EndTimes #Yeshua #MiddleEast #Faith #Podcast #DrMichaelBrown #ChuckHolton #DAFShow #Controversy #Christianity #Judaism

Welcome to Heart of Messiah, a Messianic Jewish teaching ministry focused on reconciliation, biblical truth, and a heart like Messiah Yeshua. In this powerful episode, Rabbi shares a timely devotional from Isaiah 40:28-31 and Romans 5:5, encouraging listeners to wait on Adonai so their strength can be renewed like eagles’ wings. He then continues the important series on Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day), highlighting righteous Gentiles like Oskar Schindler and Dietrich Bonhoeffer who risked everything to save Jewish lives. The teaching also confronts the painful history of antisemitism, including Martin Luther’s later writings, while emphasizing that words matter — they shape ideas, actions, and even history. Listeners are challenged with practical lessons from the Holocaust: remember so it doesn’t happen again, bless the Lord at all times, refuse to be ruled by the past, forgive, respond with action, and use words for good. A strong call is made for reconciliation with God and others, unity in the body of Messiah, and standing against hatred and division in today’s world.

Next, we dive into the moving chronology of Yeshua’s last week: His Passover Seder, crucifixion on preparation day, burial before sundown, the special Sabbaths, and His glorious resurrection on the third day—explained clearly from a Hebrew perspective. We also begin our special teaching for Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day): Never forget, never again, never be silent. Learn the history of the Shoah, the spiritual roots of anti-Semitism, and why standing against evil and for truth matters more than politics today.

In this powerful episode, Rabbi Steve Weiler opens with anointed worship declaring: "The fire of Your coming, the glory of Your presence will shake the earth... You are Messiah, Yeshua HaMashiach, Lion of Judah, the God of Israel." Join Rabbi Weiler as he continues his vital series on the truth about Israel, addressing common objections head-on: Is Israel committing genocide in Gaza? Is it an apartheid or colonizing state? Why the ongoing presence in certain territories? With clarity and compassion, he contrasts Israel's efforts to minimize civilian casualties and desire for peace with Hamas's charter calling for the eradication of Jews "from the river to the sea." Drawing from Scripture (Genesis 13, 15, 17; Psalm 83 & 129; Isaiah 27 & 35; Zephaniah 3), archaeology, international law, and Jewish tradition—like the Passover Seder's respect for life—Rabbi Weiler shows God's everlasting covenant with the land and people of Israel. He also explores why some Jews oppose Zionism and reminds us that Israel's flourishing desert blooms testify to God's faithfulness. Plus, discover the biblical practice of Counting the Omer—the 50-day journey from Passover to Shavuot (Pentecost)—linking redemption and revelation.

In this powerful episode of Heart of Messiah, Rabbi Steven Weiler opens with heartfelt worship declaring Yeshua HaMashiach as the Lion of Judah and God of Israel, followed by a prayer for peace, comfort for grieving families, and an end to aggression so all may know God's love. Amid widespread misinformation flooding media and social platforms, Rabbi Weiler cuts through the noise to share biblical truth about Israel's divine right to the land—rooted in Genesis, Leviticus, and God's eternal promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He explores archaeological evidence of 3,000+ years of Jewish presence and international law milestones like the 1922 League of Nations Mandate, San Remo Conference, Anglo-American Convention, and 1948 UN admission. Addressing common accusations head-on: Why Israel is not an apartheid state (equal rights for Arab citizens, no racial laws), not a colonizer (no resource exploitation of foreign lands), and not committing genocide (warnings before strikes, respect for life even of enemies, contrasted with Hamas' use of human shields and stated intent to destroy Israel). He reviews key history: the 1967 defensive war gains, Sinai return for peace, 2005 Gaza withdrawal leading to ongoing rockets, and October 7th horrors. Tune in for clarity, scriptural encouragement, and practical responses to tough conversations—whether you're a believer standing on God's Word or seeking factual, legal grounding. Join us as we seek the heart of Messiah and bring peace, comfort, and truth in troubled times. Upcoming: Passover Seder on April 5th—register soon!

The Heart of Messiah podcast episode dives deep into the biblical story of Purim from the Book of Esther, exploring its timeless lessons on persecution, courage, divine providence, and trusting God amid threats to His people. In this teaching, Rabbi Steve Weiler recounts the dramatic events of Esther: from Queen Vashti's refusal and replacement, to Esther's rise as queen while hiding her Jewish identity, Mordecai's defiance of Haman, the genocidal decree against the Jews, Esther's bold risk in approaching the king unsummoned, the dramatic reversal where Haman is hanged on his own gallows, and the Jews' victory leading to the joyful celebration of Purim. Drawing powerful prophetic parallels, the message highlights Esther as a foreshadowing of the Bride of Messiah (the body of believers), called to humility, purity, obedience, and sanctification in preparation for Yeshua HaMashiach's return. Esther's character—humble, teachable, courageous, and sacrificial—serves as a model for disciples today: to display inward beauty, provoke jealousy through the Gospel (Romans 11:11), proclaim salvation to the Jew first (Romans 1:16), and pursue unity between Jews and Gentiles as Yeshua prayed in John 17. The episode connects ancient history to current events, noting parallels between Persia's ancient war on Israel and modern threats from Iran, while calling for revival, peace in the Middle East, wisdom for leaders, and a move of God's Spirit in Israel, Iran, and the U.S. Timely and inspiring, this broadcast encourages listeners to embrace their calling like Esther—"for such a time as this"—living in submission to God, loving others, and preparing as a spotless bride for the King.

🔥 “The fire of your coming, the glory of Your presence will shake the earth…” Join Rabbi Steve Weiler, Lead Rabbi of Shoresh David Messianic Synagogues, for this powerful conclusion to our Identity series on Heart of Messiah Radio. In this episode, Rabbi Steve unpacks one of the most beautiful and misunderstood truths in Scripture: the One New Man. Drawing from Ephesians 2, the Shema, and Yeshua’s High Priestly Prayer, he reveals that God is not erasing Jewish or Gentile identity—He is uniting Messianic Jews and Christians into ONE new man in Messiah Yeshua… while both remain who God created them to be. Just like a husband and wife become “one flesh” without losing who they are, the wall of hostility has been torn down so that Jew and Gentile believers can walk in supernatural unity, love, and shalom. This is God’s prophetic plan for the future—and our identity today. Plus: • A heartfelt opening prayer for revival, Israel, America, and leaders • How to show real love through humility, repentance, and forgiveness • Why Yeshua is the only One who can bring true unity • A special call for modern-day “Bonhoeffers” — pastors, leaders, and influencers who will stand boldly with Israel If this broadcast blesses you, please help keep it on the air with a one-time or monthly gift! 📍 Services: Friday nights & Saturday mornings — Wesley Chapel, St. Pete & Tampa 🌐 Visit: shoreshdavid.org ✉️ Stand with Israel or become a Bonhoeffer?
