In today’s episode of FFOZ Reacts!, Jacob Fronczak slowly moves from disbelief to excitement upon being exposed for the first time to a teaser for season six of The Chosen. Who are those blue guys? Are they angels? Do angels look like that? Is any of this even real? @thechosentv — Resources — The Chosen and the Chosen People: ffoz.org/messiah/articles/th… New Archaeological Evidence for the Passion Narrative: ffoz.org/messiah/articles/th… Why Didn’t the Disciples Recognize Yeshua After the Resurrection?: ffoz.org/torahportions/comme… How the Gospels Should Have Ended: ffoz.org/messiah/articles/ho… Sign up for a free account for more Messianic Jewish learning: ffoz.org

Pentecostals, fundamentalists and Jewish law all agree on this one. Divination and sorcery are off-limits, and Paul is clear on where they lead in Galatians 5. Watch the full episode featuring @JeremyDBoreing here: vist.ly/5rv2k

Rosh Chodesh Kislev begins Monday evening. As the nights grow long and cold, it’s fair to ask, “Why did God create light and dark?” vist.ly/5rvhw

Shabbat shalom! This week’s Torah portion is Chayei Sarah. Sarah dies, and Abraham purchases the Cave of Machpelah for her burial. Abraham sends his servant to find a wife for Isaac. Upon arrival, the servant prays for guidance and immediately finds Rebekah. Though her mother and brother try to delay her departure, Rebekah returns with him and marries Isaac. Abraham takes another wife, Keturah, and has more children. He gives gifts to his other sons but leaves everything to Isaac. Abraham dies and is buried with Sarah.

Nearly a third of Americans, including many Christians, consult astrology, tarot, or fortune tellers. Jewish tradition gives a surprising reason to stay away. Watch the full episode featuring @JeremyDBoreing here: vist.ly/5rkdc

Enjoy a Torah Club Highlight from Sarah Coenen: Our Genesis. Prompted by a suggestion on the End of Days Torah Club flyer, I shared information about the club with my church. A group of us formed; some were relatively new to the faith; others had a longstanding connection with the Jewish Jesus. It was a strong and optimistic start. Our Fall and Exile. As the material became more challenging, some struggled to keep up with readings. Changes within church leadership, relationship and health crises with several members, and my own insecurities led to less frequent meetings. We prioritized fellowship when we did meet. Our Repentance. God revealed mistakes: not heeding advice to start with HaYesod and having ambitions and expectations outsized for the theological capacity of some members. Admitting these mistakes, facing my disappointment of unrealized expectations, and accepting inevitable life circumstances helped me adjust my expectations to consider it a win, “where two or more are gathered, there He is.” (It’s often just two of us.) Our Redemption. Finding value and gratitude for the journey, letting go of agenda and expectations, and seeking HaShem’s will for our lives and for our Torah Club.

What does it tell us about how the first disciples understood Yeshua’s message that the Didache says so little about doctrine and so much about how to live? Was the good news they heard bigger than what we usually call the gospel? If you enjoyed this sample of the weekly video commentary and want to learn more, visit torahclub.org. Torah Club is a small group weekly Bible study from a Messianic Jewish perspective.

Trust one Bible translation without question and you might conclude that Easter is in the Bible, Jews are enemies of God, and Jesus ate pork. Comparing translations, and better yet learning the original languages, makes you a better student of Scripture. Watch the full episode here: vist.ly/5re9k

Spiritual hunger without sound theology leads to confusion. Before you listen to the next influencer or podcast, consider what Scripture has to say first. Watch the full episode featuring @JeremyDBoreing here: vist.ly/5r9au

How did people get saved before Jesus came? Is salvation the same as going to heaven or inheriting the kingdom? Is it wrong to pray directly to Jesus? In August 2026, European Torah Club Leaders and Students and FFOZ Friends brought these questions and many others to the first Malchut Europe gathering in Stratford-upon-Avon, England. There were more questions than our town hall had time to answer. As promised, Jacob welcomes back Torah Club Director Damian Eisner and Senior Educator Aaron Eby to take up the questions we left unanswered. Together, they examine familiar Christian beliefs in the light of the Jewish Scriptures and the teachings of Yeshua. From the faith of Abraham to the hope of the resurrection, the conversation calls us to a fuller understanding of the Jewish Messiah and the kingdom he will bring.

Why is “falling in love” actually a terrible reason to get married? #chayeisarah

Are you a young adult trying to figure out who you want to become? Maybe you’re weighing a career move, wondering about marriage, or asking what God actually wants from your life. Everyone keeps asking where you’re headed, and Scripture asks an even harder question: Who are you becoming on the way there? Tzadi Advance is a five-day getaway for Messianic young adults, but we aren’t getting away just to recharge and go home the same. It’s a call to leave the shallow end of casual faith, get honest, and build a lasting foundation rooted in sincere allegiance to the King. Together, you’ll study the teachings of Yeshua, build friendships with other young believers who share your faith, and count the cost of following the Master with your whole life. Come ready for serious, committed discipleship. 📍 Fountain Run, KY 📅 Dec. 31, 2026 – Jan. 4, 2027 🔗 Learn more and register: vist.ly/5r6d2 If you know a young adult who would benefit from Tzadi Advance, share this post or tag them in the comments.

Is occultism making a comeback? Jeremy Boreing thinks so, tying it to the fall of materialism and a rise in antisemitism. In this episode of FFOZ Reacts!, Jacob Fronczak responds to the warning, exploring the topic in light of the New Testament and broader Jewish tradition. @JeremyDBoreing — Resources — Rising Occultism Worldwide: ffoz.org/messiah/articles/th… Defining Magic: ffoz.org/messiah/articles/do… Pastors Preparing for UFO Disclosure: ffoz.org/messiah/articles/th… Are the Zohar and Kabbalah Occult?: ffoz.org/messiah/articles/je… Was Paul a False Apostle?!: youtu.be/1PJUGByA-Qo Tucker Carlson Turns Christians Against Jews: youtu.be/EmP6YGsfOLA Responding to Tucker Carlson and Andrew Isker: youtu.be/CfD1Hia9Sr4 Sign up for a free account for more Messianic Jewish learning: ffoz.org
