R. Paul Falk teaches the second installment of the series about the will of the Father, focusing on the topic of predestination versus free will. Expounding on some of the most difficult scriptures on the subject, such as Romans 9 about the Father’s choosing of Jacob over Esau, and the hardening of Pharaoh’s heart, he presents a fresh perspective that answers a lot of questions, and takes the entirety of the Scriptures into account.

R. Dennis Richards diffuses some misconceptions about salvation that neither the teachings of the Messiah nor the history of the scriptures support. Beginning with the fundamentals of Christianity and then addressing the tenet, “there is salvation in no one else,” he shows how the truth has been twisted to go completely against the scriptures.
R. Paul Falk continues to decipher Yeshua’s parable of the vineyard (Matthew 21), presenting the metaphors of the fig tree and the vine. With references in the Torah as well as the prophets, we can understand how these metaphors are given to be signs for us, not only in Yeshua’s time but also in future, end-time prophecies.
R. Dennis Richards makes practical observations about the character and the heart of Rebecca as seen through Genesis 24 in which Abraham’s servant is sent to find a wife for Isaac. Several small hints and clues reveal that Rebecca had a heart like Abraham’s, an example for each of us today.
R. Paul Falk explains that the Torah can be interpreted in several levels of meaning and uses an example from Genesis 25 about the two nations fighting within the womb of Rebecca to show how that passage parallels with deeper levels of meaning from Genesis, through the parables of Messiah and the letters of Paul, to The Revelation, applying to us today.
In this sixth installation of the Vineyard series, R. Paul Falk explains the meaning of the parable about the new and old wineskins in Luke 5:37-38 which may be totally different from what is usually taught, simply by looking at the context of the passage, and the question that the Messiah was addressing.
Patrick Shannon examines the Torah portion, Chaiyei Sarah, focusing on the last days of Abraham and especially the request to his servant in Genesis 24 about finding a wife for his son Isaac. In just a small passage of this story, Patrick draws out a number of practical observations.
