Tracing the biblical sign of circumcision across seven millennia, this teaching begins with Abraham’s covenant and follows its prophetic echoes through the Torah, the prophets and the writings of Paul. It examines the tension between physical circumcision and the circumcision of the heart, explaining how both point to a deeper covenant relationship with the Creator. By unpacking misunderstandings of Paul’s letters and exploring the significance of the eighth day, the study shows how circumcision fits within the 7,000-year redemptive timeline and foreshadows the Messianic kingdom. Discover why this ancient rite still speaks to believers today and what it reveals about Yah’s plan of redemption.

Many believers expect a secret 'rapture' before a future tribulation. This teaching examines what the Bible actually says about the gathering of God’s people. It investigates key passages and shows that Messiah’s return occurs after tribulation, encouraging believers to be prepared and faithful.

Some argue that Hebrews 7:12 teaches that there has been a change in the law regarding the Levitical priesthood. Does a contextual reading of Hebrews 7:12 indicate the Messiah's priesthood negates the Law of God? Fri, 10 Jan 2025 20:27:23

Some have a Bible degree… sometimes we have a degree as well—a degree of concern. This short thought encourages us to examine our spiritual concerns as seriously as academic credentials.

Ever had someone tell you that Christ did away with the law? This teaching asks a series of questions designed to make you think again and challenge assumptions about God’s commandments.

Everybody wants their ‘Promised Land,’ but Scripture reminds us that entering the land requires action and obedience. When Israel was preparing to enter Canaan, God told them to arise and go over the Jordan; the promised land was theirs if they did what He commanded【753736018430227†L179-L189】. This 119 Thoughts message encourages believers to pursue their spiritual promised land through daily obedience rather than passively waiting for blessings.

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.

Yeshua said, 'A new command I give you: love one another.' Was He adding to God’s law? This teaching shows that Yeshua was expounding on the existing commandment in Leviticus 19:18 to love your neighbor. He calls us to love as He loved us—sacrificially—without adding to or subtracting from the Torah.

Popular teacher Mike Winger claims that Jesus [Yeshua] set believers free from God’s law. In this response, 119 Ministries examines his arguments, evaluating the context of passages in Romans and Galatians. It explains why the Torah remains relevant for followers of Messiah and addresses common misunderstandings about law and grace.

This 119 Thoughts video reflects on God as a righteous judge. Jesus [Yeshua] said the Father has entrusted all judgment to the Son【792125594703711†L43-L50】. He will judge believers’ works for reward and unbelievers at the Great White Throne judgment【792125594703711†L52-L63】. Knowing that God’s judgments are perfectly just encourages us to live righteously and trust His justice【792125594703711†L82-L91】.

A shadow of things to come, familiar words to many believers when speaking about the feast days and sabbaths. Paul's teachings on these things in Colossians 2:16-17 are among the more popular verses used to prove the Torah doesn't apply today. But is this claim true? What is the context of Paul's letter here? What are the "things to come" that the festivals and sabbaths are shadows of? Tue, 17 Dec 2024 18:39:44

The Christian life is a war zone. This brief teaching reminds us that believers are engaged in a spiritual battle between the flesh and the Spirit. It encourages us to put on the armor of God and rely on His strength to overcome.

What did Yeshua mean when he said He came not to abolish the Law but to fulfill it? This teaching examines Matthew 5:17–19, showing that the Greek word *plēroō* means to fill up or fully live out, not to cancel. Yeshua affirmed that not one jot or tittle of Torah will pass away until heaven and earth disappear, and he warned against relaxing even the least commandment【544787435757154†L12-L43】【544787435757154†L40-L64】.

Yeshua said that whoever acknowledges Him before men, he will acknowledge before the Father. This 119 Thought challenges us to confess Messiah boldly and warns of the danger of denying him when faced with pressure.

Peter’s vision of the sheet in Acts 10 is often used to justify eating unclean animals. This teaching shows that the vision was about the inclusion of Gentiles into God’s people, not a change in the food laws.

What happened at the Jerusalem council? This teaching explores Acts 15, explaining that the apostles upheld the Law of Moses. The four decrees given to Gentile converts were a starting point; new believers would learn the rest in the synagogue every Sabbath. Obedience is not legalism.

This teaching addresses Paul's encounter with Yeshua on the road to Damascus. It examines whether Paul's experience shows that the law was abolished and clarifies that he continued to keep and teach the Torah after his conversion.

This short teaching explores the Hebrew word 'et' (aleph‑tav), a direct object marker that often appears alongside God’s name. It discusses its possible symbolic meaning and how it points to Yeshua as the Alpha and Omega.

The book of Ecclesiastes tells us a lot about life in this world, it is a book of wisdom. “All is vanity” is something found in this book. But when life gets hard or things aren’t making sense, what wisdom can we call on? What makes life meaningful under the sun when all is vanity? Wed, 23 Feb 2022 17:07:32

In All That I Have Commanded You, we explore whether Yeshua commanded his disciples to teach the Torah to the nations. By examining Matthew 28:19–20 in context with Matthew 5:17–19, we show that the Great Commission includes teaching God’s commandments. Key Scriptures: Matthew 28:19–20; Matthew 5:17–19; Deuteronomy 4:5–8; Isaiah 2:2–4 Takeaway: Yeshua’s Great Commission continues the Torah’s mission to bring God’s instruction to all nations. Hashtags: #AllThatIHaveCommanded #119Ministries

Amos warned Israel that God despises outward religion divorced from justice. He condemns those who oppress the poor yet offer sacrifices, urging them to ‘let justice roll on like a river’ and righteousness like a never‑failing stream. Amos teaches that true worship requires living according to God’s justice and mercy【651929227044959†L54-L74】【651929227044959†L75-L100】.

Many believe and teach that because Messiah made the ultimate sacrifice for our sins, that the animal sacrifice no longer applies nor has a place. Some go so far as to say animal sacrifices are actually an affront to Messiah’s work of redemption. Scripture, however, appears to say otherwise.

Many critics claim the Bible treats women as property. This teaching examines passages often cited to support that idea, such as the tenth commandment and various laws in Deuteronomy. By reading these texts in context, the study shows that wives were not considered property but equal partners and that instructions about marriage, dowry, and redemption actually protect women’s dignity. The teaching concludes that the Bible does not paint women as inferior or property, but affirms their value as "ezer kenegdo," a helper suitable to man. Mon, 19 Apr 2021 21:33:01

The Bible is often accused of being misogynistic; one of the main questions asked is “can women speak in church?” and 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 is cited where Paul says for women to be silent. Why would Paul say such a thing? Fri, 04 Jun 2021 18:44:49

When YHWH gave Israel the Promised Land, it appears that He commanded Israel to wipe out entire peoples. This teaching explores those difficult passages and demonstrates that God did not command racial genocide but pronounced judgment on nations whose wickedness had become extreme. The Hebrew ban (ḥērem) called for the removal of corrupt cultures steeped in idolatry and child sacrifice. God patiently warned these nations for centuries (Genesis 15:16) before bringing justice; the commands were acts of righteous judgment, not ethnic cleansing. Mon, 19 Apr 2021 21:33:01

This teaching examines the beginning of the universe to answer the question, “Does God exist?” It presents the cosmological argument, which infers from the existence and origin of the universe to a first cause beyond time and space. Because everything that begins to exist has a cause and the cosmos cannot be an infinite chain of causes, the universe’s beginning points to a necessary, eternal Creator. By considering both Scripture and modern cosmology, the study argues that the universe’s beginning testifies to God’s existence. Mon, 19 Apr 2021 21:33:01

The design or fine‑tuning argument observes that the fundamental laws and parameters of physics are exquisitely balanced for life. This teaching explores examples of fine‑tuning, such as the precise strength of the strong nuclear force, the gravitational constant, the mass difference between protons and neutrons, and the delicate energy of the Big Bang. It argues that these and many other cosmic “coincidences” are best explained by an intelligent Designer rather than by chance. The incredible order and complexity of the universe therefore point to a purposeful Creator.

This installment examines the moral argument for God’s existence. It begins with the observation that objective moral truths exist—that some things are really right or wrong regardless of human opinion. The argument posits that objective morality requires a transcendent moral law giver, because naturalistic explanations cannot ground moral duties and values. The teaching explains that God’s character provides the absolute standard of goodness and that our awareness of moral law is evidence for His existence.

There are some groups out there (atheists, radical feminists, and others) that believe the Bible is misogynistic, demeans women, and even endorses polygamy. We’ve addressed the idea of the Bible being misogynistic in other teachings, now we are going to examine the accusation that the Bible does endorse polygamy, that is, a man having more than one wife at a time.

Some claim that the bible is full of misogynistic verses and teachings. Some even claim that the Bible can’t be true because God would never teach misogyny. Join us as we begin our journey through some of these claims in Scripture in our first video in a series on this and other related topics.

Responding to critiques of ancient sacrifices, this teaching explains the purpose of temple offerings, how they reflected reverence and repentance, and why they cannot be equated with modern notions of animal abuse.

Lot, defined as a righteous man by the Word, offers his daughters to a mob outside of his home in order to seemingly protect two strangers. The skeptic quickly points out how this is unethical, thus concluding that Yahweh's definition of righteousness is clearly not moral. Perhaps there is something the skeptic, and actually many believers, are missing in their understanding...

Everyone has experienced trying times and tribulations, but we don’t often understand why a loving God would allow such things to happen. In fact, some even claim that bad things in this world prove God isn’t real. In this presentation, we examine how the Bible can help in making sense of suffering and support the existence of our Creator.

Atheists love to point out that the Torah instructs a rapist to marry his victim. From our cultural perspective this appears absurd and portrays YHWH negatively. However, there is much more to consider here…

It explores biblical laws that regulated servanthood, ensured humane treatment, mandated release in the sabbatical year, and pointed toward the freedom ultimately fulfilled in Messiah.

Peter continues to confirm your calling in chapter 1 of 2 Peter. This time, in 2 Peter 1:16-21, we look at how he does so as it pertains to his witnessing Christ’s glory and the prophetic word. Unlike other myths, his witness, and the witness of the Scriptures, tells of Messiah’s return.

Continuing on in our Bible Study series on 2 Peter, we continue looking at how to confirm your calling. In Chapter 2, we hear how God rescues the righteous and judges the wicked, time and again throughout Scripture.

This series challenges believers to examine Scripture with fresh eyes, sparking curiosity and deeper faith.

What exactly are the “good works” believers are created for? This teaching shows how the Torah defines and equips good works (2 Tim 3:16–17), why Yeshua upholds the Law (Matt 5:17–19), and how the Spirit empowers obedience (Ezek 36:27; Rom 8:4). Scriptures (4–6): Ephesians 2:8–10; 2 Timothy 3:16–17; Matthew 5:16–19; Ezekiel 36:27; Romans 8:4; Revelation 14:12 Takeaway (1–2 sentences): We’re not saved by works—we’re saved for works Scripture defines.

This episode explains that the Great Commission in Matthew 28:19–20 calls us to make disciples who obey all of Yeshua’s commands, highlighting the importance of teaching obedience to God’s law.

A warning against unity at the expense of truth: this teaching urges believers to unite around obedience to God’s Word rather than compromise with error.

An eye for an eye, turn the other cheek, do not resist the one who is evil. What do all of these phrases mean? What was the Messiah teaching us in Matthew 5:38-42, was he contradicting the Law? Imagine if what he was teaching is the exact opposite of what we have been taught he meant, something that could change your world.

In Do Whatever They Tell You, we explore Yeshua’s words in Matthew 23:2–3, where He tells the crowd to obey the scribes and Pharisees who “sit in Moses’ seat.” Did Yeshua affirm their teachings—or was He pointing to something deeper? This teaching examines the historical and textual background showing that Yeshua wasn’t validating Pharisaic tradition but affirming obedience to the words of Moses they read aloud each Sabbath (Exodus 18:13–16; Acts 15:21; Matthew 23:1–4). When understood in context, Yeshua’s command calls His followers to heed the Torah itself, not the traditions that make void the Word of God. Takeaway: Yeshua directs His people to hear Moses’ words and live them—testing every teaching by Scripture, not by man-made authority.

What does it mean to love God? This video shows that genuine love is expressed through obedience to His commandments (John 14:15) and urges believers to demonstrate love through faithful action.

Throughout Scripture we see God destroying entire peoples, nations, and families when they have sinned against him or Israel. He has even had Israel destroyed or taken into captivity. With all of these punishments handed out by the Most High, it’s fair to ask, does God enjoy punishing people?

This teaching explains the command not to boil a young goat in its mother’s milk, clarifying that biblical dietary laws do not forbid mixing meat and dairy—cheeseburgers are a rabbinic restriction, not Torah.

If asked “does the Bible permit drinking alcohol?”, here is one way you may want to respond.

At what point does YHWH’s appointed times (new moons and Sabbaths) become a burden to Him? Did YHWH tell us how bad His Law is for us in Isaiah and indicate it should be removed far before Messiah ever came on the scene? Find out as we take a brief look at Isaiah 1:14.

Paul wrote that believers are not 'under the law.' This teaching explains that the phrase refers to being under the law’s penalty, not to obedience itself. Those who trust Messiah are under grace but still uphold God’s law.

God’s dietary instructions were never just about food. This audio teaching explores how the food laws teach us to discern between clean and unclean, and how they call us to guard what we consume spiritually. By obeying His dietary laws, we learn to live holy lives in every area.

The Hebrew word echad means ‘one’ or ‘unity.’ This teaching emphasises the importance of unity among God’s people. It explores how we can be one as Yeshua prayed (John 17) while remaining rooted in truth and love.

Throughout Scripture we see God destroying entire peoples, nations, and families when they have sinned against him or Israel. He has even had Israel destroyed or taken into captivity. With all of these punishments handed out by the Most High, it’s fair to ask, does God enjoy punishing people? Fri, 24 Jun 2022 21:35:19

Ekklesia is the Greek word translated ‘church’ in English. This teaching defines ekklesia as the assembly of called‑out ones—those who follow Yeshua and keep God’s commandments—and discusses what it means to be part of God’s set-apart community.

End time prophecy has been the topic of many debates. Yet many prophecy students and teachers alike lack the foundation that is needed to truly understand what the prophetic scriptures point us to. This opening teaching of the End of Days series is a necessity for all who desire to grow in their understanding the basics of end time prophecy.

What is Paul addressing in Galatians 4:8-11 when he talks about being enslaved to sabbaths and festivals? What are the “days and months and seasons and years” he says they need to turn away from? Let’s check out the context and see what we can find. Mon, 30 Sep 2024 16:49:31

Envy and jealousy are often confused. This teaching distinguishes between the two, shows how both can lead to sin, and encourages contentment and gratitude.

This short teaching encourages believers to make Yeshua their everything. It reminds us that our Savior is the source of life and salvation and calls us to put our complete trust in Him and obey God’s commandments in every area of life.

Deuteronomy 22:13-21 tells about the case of the slandered bride. Some atheists or feminists try to use it to prove the Bible is anti-women or misogynistic. However, further inspection of the Scriptures and historical context may tell us a different story. Fri, 13 May 2022 20:35:54

An “eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth” is a misunderstood Hebraic idiom. Did our Messiah change this commandment, or simply clarify it?

Salvation is by grace through faith, yet true faith produces obedience. This teaching explains justification (being declared righteous by faith), sanctification (growing in obedience), and ultimate salvation. Faith means believing God’s Word, committing to follow it, and doing what it says.

Faith and works, two topics relating to justification that some say James and Paul disagree on. Is what Paul says in Romans 3:28 at odds with James 2:24? How can we reconcile what James and Paul say about faith and works? Or are they really at odds with one another and the Bible has a problem? Mon, 03 Jun 2024 21:11:56

This 119 Thought warns against a shallow, fast‑food approach to faith. It encourages believers to dig deep into Scripture, pursue substance over convenience, and develop a healthy spiritual diet.

Fasting is a spiritual discipline that is rarely discussed. What did our Savior teach about fasting? In this short teaching we examine the heart posture behind fasting, exploring scriptural examples and Yeshua’s instructions so we can approach fasting with the right motives and expectations.

Can we eat fat? What about blood in our meat? What does the Torah say? Mon, 30 May 2022 21:37:00

This teaching examines Yeshua’s miracles of feeding the multitudes. It explores what these miracles teach about God’s provision, compassion, and the Messiah’s identity.

In Matthew 24:20 the Messiah tells us to hope that fleeing on the Sabbath is not something to be desired. Why is this? What did he mean by this and what may be some greater implications of such a statement? Wed, 28 Jul 2021 17:25:59

Some say obeying God’s commandments is foolish in the modern world. This teaching challenges that notion, showing that obedience to Yahweh’s instructions is wisdom and leads to blessing, while the wisdom of the world is foolishness to God.

Many claim to be “good” by human standards, but only our Creator defines what is truly good. This study explores why we can’t lean on our own understanding, how God’s commandments reveal His definition of goodness, and how walking in His ways produces genuine righteousness.

Yeshua prayed for the Father to forgive those who put Him on the cross. Yet, in some circles today the question has come up if He could have actually been saying just the opposite. Some believe the Greek actually suggests such an interpretation. But does it really match what Yeshua’s life proclaimed?

Within the parameters of proper biblical hermeneutics, there are four levels of understanding one can implement to glean from the Torah. Yeshua and His disciples demonstrated all four levels of exegesis throughout the Brit Hadasha. Join us as we examine these four levels in more detail.

This teaching explores biblical principles about speech—when and how we should speak, the power of our words, and the responsibility to avoid slander, gossip, and disrespect.

Do you have what it takes to hear the voice of the Shepherd? This brief teaching encourages us to regularly seek our Creator and tune our hearts to His instructions.

The parables of the wineskins and garments by our Messiah are often interpreted to be best understood as out with the old, and in with the new, even replacement theology. We have a different perspective. Wed, 01 Jan 2025 17:29:10

This teaching responds to the claim that Gentiles are 'freed from Jewish law.' It shows that Gentile believers are grafted into Israel and invited to keep YHWH’s commandments alongside natural-born Israelites.

The Bible tells us that it is the Father’s will for us to give thanks in all circumstances, but how do we do that? How do we overcome the trials and tribulations of life and still have an attitude of gratitude so that we can give honor and thanks to the Creator? Tue, 13 Sep 2022 19:27:47

This Sabbath Reflection reminds us that God desires life, not death. It offers hope to those in despair, showing how Scripture teaches us to choose life and trust YHWH even when circumstances are bleak.

What provokes God’s anger? This 119 Thought explains that Yahweh’s wrath is righteous—directed at sin, injustice, and idolatry—but tempered by mercy for those who repent. It calls us to fear God and turn from sin.

The Bible warns of a time when people will call good evil and evil good—could this be happening with how some view God’s commandments today? Inspired by our popular Unanswerable Questions video, this easily shareable series invites believers to rethink what Scripture truly says about God’s law and its ongoing relevance. Thu, 20 Mar 2025 13:08:38

This short teaching shows that God’s law is prophetic. Prophets like Isaiah and Jeremiah describe a time when God’s law will be written on our hearts. If the law were abolished at the cross, why do prophecies speak of it in the future?

In this Scripture Sketch, a restaurant conversation illustrates common misunderstandings about grace and obedience. It shows how God's law remains part of the gospel message and encourages viewers to live by every word of God.

John 1 says “For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.” So what does this mean? What does the surrounding context imply? How is this to be interpreted with the rest of Scripture? Join us as we dig into an often misrepresented verse.

It's critical to understand three terms if we are going to understand Scripture. Grace, faith, and obedience. What do these words mean and how do we go about understanding the relationship they have to one another in the Bible? Mon, 23 Jan 2023 17:19:33

It's critical to understand three terms if we are going to understand Scripture. Grace, faith, and obedience. In part 1 we defined the terms and saw how the important role obedience has in our faith. Here in part 2 we will continue our discussion of these terms, and solidify their relationship to each other and their relevance to believers, followers of Messiah, today. Mon, 30 Jan 2023 20:12:26

Many believers know they’ve been redeemed, but few understand what they’ve been redeemed into. In this episode, we uncover that identity through Grafted Branches: The Identity of the Redeemed—a teaching that reveals how those in Messiah are part of the people of Israel and heirs to the covenant promises. This teaching restores the biblical identity of the redeemed and shows why Torah is for all who are grafted in through Messiah. Learn how your role as a grafted branch shapes your calling, inheritance, and future.

Drawing from Paul’s olive tree analogy in Romans 11, this teaching explains how believing Gentiles are grafted into the cultivated olive tree of Israel. Gentiles do not replace Israel but share in the nourishing root—the promises given to Abraham. Paul warns natural branches not to boast over others and exhorts all to remain in the faith.

Spiritual growth requires more than knowledge. This 119 Thought urges believers to grow in obedience, maturity, and fruitfulness, illustrating that growth happens when we apply God’s Word.

Habakkuk, a minor prophet with the major message. His message wasn’t unique, but he kept an important perspective we should all take, “I will rejoice.” Where does he get this perspective and how can we apply it to our lives today? Mon, 04 Mar 2024 21:00:31

Haggai was a minor prophet, but his major message still impacts us today as he reminds us to get our priorities straight. Just as Israel once prioritized themselves over the Temple, we often prioritize ourselves and our desires over the Father’s. It’s time to get your priorities straight before it’s too late. Mon, 27 May 2024 22:23:56

What does the bible say about cutting your hair, marring your beards, and other markings in association with ancient mourning practices? Does Leviticus 19:27-28 really mean you cannot get a haircut, shave your beard, or get a tattoo at all? Is doing a sin? Thu, 20 Mar 2025 12:53:32

Many understand Exodus 23:13 to mean we cannot even say the names of other gods such as Baal, Mars, Janus, etc. Some go so far as to say we shouldn’t say things like Monday or January for the same reason. What’s the truth behind such beliefs and are they Scriptural?

There are some that argue the use of the word “God” when referring to YHWH. For what it’s worth, here are our thoughts on that particular topic and why it’s actually okay to say God.

When it comes to the name of the Messiah, there are many discussions that are had, one of them being whether or not we should call him by the name, Jesus. Some say yes, others say no. We invite you to review the evidence and decide for yourself.

Many disagree or even argue about using the word "Lord" in the Scriptures. Some even claim that by using it, we are blaspheming or using the name of YHWH in vain. Here are some thoughts to consider.

Names carry deep meaning in Scripture. In this first part of the HaShem series we explore the significance of our Creator’s name, why it matters, and what it means to profane or honor His name.

Part 2 of the HaShem series explores the four letters of God’s Name (YHWH). It discusses how the Name appears in Scripture, its meaning, and why we should revere and proclaim it.

In Part 3 of the HaShem series we examine evidence from Hebrew manuscripts, vowel points, and historical sources to explore possible pronunciations of the Divine Name, balancing reverence with the pursuit of truth.

With so much discussion, arguments, and division amongst the body over the pronunciation of the name of our Creator, one version seems to be the most prominent, Yehovah (Jehovah). Has the Creator’s name been definitively determined at long last or are we once again falling victim to what the majority dictates and determines? Join us as we test out this pronunciation in this teaching from the Hashem series and discover if the sacred name of our Creator has been determined at long last.

Many believers wrestle with whether God’s law is still relevant. This teaching reviews New Testament passages that seem to abolish the law and explains what they really mean in context.

Paul talks about the importance of head coverings in 1 Corinthians 11. There is a lot to take into consideration for this topic. Join us in part 1 of this teaching where we examine the verses and their surrounding themes of tradition, headship, dishonor, image and glory of God, and hair length. Thu, 10 Nov 2022 21:58:40

What are the head coverings Paul alludes to in 1 Corinthians 11? His words may make us ask the question, “what’s on your head?” or “what is a head covering? In this video we will look at three ways to interpret Paul’s words, examining some strengths and weaknesses of each. Fri, 11 Nov 2022 22:09:47

Did the Law of God change after the cross? Yeshua said that not one jot or tittle will pass from the law until heaven and earth pass away. This teaching examines Matthew 5:17–19 and shows that heaven and earth remain, so God’s law still stands.

This teaching contrasts Hebraic and Greek worldviews. It explains how Western thinking has influenced our reading of Scripture and calls us to return to a concrete, Hebraic mindset.

This teaching studies Hebrews 4 and the concept of Sabbath rest. It answers whether believers enter God’s rest now through faith or whether there remains a future Sabbath rest.

King Herod the Great appears briefly in Scripture, yet his life impacted the Jewish world. This teaching profiles Herod’s lineage, political maneuvers, building projects, and the role he played in the story of Messiah’s birth.

Scripture says to honor your elders in Leviticus 19:32 and shows us how to do so. How did the commandment apply in the ancient culture in which it was given? How does it apply today? Fri, 09 Jul 2021 21:25:54

God commanded Hosea to marry the unfaithful Gomer as an object lesson. Just as Hosea bought back his wayward wife, God will redeem Israel despite her spiritual adultery. The story illustrates God’s unwavering love and His promise to restore those who repent【318523661781060†L56-L76】.

This teaching examines Hosea’s prophecies about Israel’s unfaithfulness and asks whether holiday traditions like decorating trees are pleasing to God. It encourages believers to worship God according to His instructions rather than adopting pagan customs.

Essential to understanding is learning the history behind things. Enjoy a brief historical look at how Christianity went from Sabbath to Sunday. Mon, 12 Jun 2023 18:56:11

This Essentials teaching shows how the Biblical festivals foreshadow Messiah’s first and second coming. It explains the prophetic significance of Passover, Unleavened Bread, First Fruits, Pentecost, Trumpets, Atonement, and Tabernacles.

Faith is integrally tied to our salvation, but what is faith and how does salvation actually work? Where does our faith fit into the process that results in our salvation? What does one have to do with the other? Tue, 10 Oct 2023 14:40:39

We know about physical circumcision, but do you know how to circumcise your heart? What does it even mean? How do we do it? Do we even do it? Fri, 04 Jun 2021 18:42:14

King Herod the Great is mentioned very little in Scripture, yet his existence and actions had a profound impact on the life of Messiah. But who was he? What does history tell us about the man who was afraid of the coming “King of the Jews”? Mon, 06 Sep 2021 20:13:06

The use of the Messiah’s name in Hebrew has begun to be mainstream. But is Yeshua the Messiah’s name? Is it Jesus? Yehushua? Yahshua? Something else? Does it even matter what the Messiah’s name is? Join us as we take a brief look at what some consider a very touchy topic, the Messiah’s name. Mon, 29 Apr 2024 17:38:24

Sharing the truth requires both accuracy and love. This teaching discusses proper motives and methods for presenting Torah and the gospel. It emphasises humility, patience, and sensitivity to the Spirit when speaking with others.

This short reflection urges believers to hunger and thirst for righteousness more than physical food. It calls us to feed on God’s Word and let His Spirit satisfy our deepest needs.

Why would God, being perfect, say he gave them statutes that were not good? How could the embodiment of what is good and just and holy give Israel statutes that were not good as he said in Ezekiel 20:25-26? What were these “not good” statutes? How do we make this make sense? Mon, 22 Jan 2024 19:28:37

Mainstream religions use myriads of icons and idolatry throughout their places of worship. Have you ever wondered why churches use statues and icons despite biblical warnings? This teaching explores the foundations of worship, emphasizing the rejection of icons and idolatry by examining historical and modern practices. Join us in exploring what it means to worship in spirit and truth. Mon, 28 Oct 2024 18:56:37

Honey comes from bees—unclean insects—so is it considered unclean? This teaching examines passages like Leviticus 2:11 and shows that while honey was not to be burned on the altar, it was permitted as food. It clarifies the difference between clean and unclean and addresses common misconceptions.

While many believers avoid holidays with pagan origins, some also question whether celebrating birthdays is wrong. This teaching explores that question and notes that Scripture never forbids celebrating the day of one’s birth. As the transcript explains, birthdays can be a time to thank God for the gift of life and to rejoice with friends and family, provided the celebration does not involve sinful practices. The study encourages believers not to add prohibitions to God’s Word and to exercise discernment and charity toward others who celebrate differently. Thu, 29 May 2025 22:41:53

Many believe Michael the archangel is another name for the Messiah. What does Scripture really say? In this teaching, we examine the evidence, compare the roles of Michael and Yeshua, and explore whether the claim holds up under close study. Thu, 29 May 2025 22:41:53

Some claim that God’s commandments are too hard to keep. This teaching examines passages like Deuteronomy 30:11–14, showing that the Torah is not too difficult when empowered by the Spirit.

This teaching examines Hebrews 8:13 and the claim that the Mosaic covenant is obsolete. It explores the context and explains that the 'old covenant' refers to the Levitical priesthood, not the Torah.

This teaching investigates whether the Sabbath command is repeated in the New Testament. It examines Yeshua’s practice, the apostles’ example, and relevant passages to show that Sabbath keeping remains important.

Is God’s Law only for ethnic Israel? Scripture repeatedly states there is one law for the native‑born Israelite and the sojourner. This teaching traces this theme through Deuteronomy 4 and Isaiah 2 and 56, showing that the Torah was intended as wisdom for all nations. Those who join themselves to YHWH are expected to keep His Sabbath and covenant【376423138526079†L11-L37】.

This study answers claims that God’s Word has been abolished. The prophets and apostles affirm that God’s Word stands forever: ‘The grass withers and the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever’ (Isaiah 40:8). Yeshua called the books of Moses the very Word of God, and Peter says ‘the word of the Lord remains forever’ (1 Peter 1:24–25). Traditions that nullify God’s commandments are condemned【254511387594410†L11-L24】【254511387594410†L24-L63】.

Many believe and teach that following the Torah, the Law of God, is a form of bondage—that we are to be free from such things now that Messiah has come. Some even go so far as to say we do not have free will if we have to follow the Torah. Is it possible to have free will and still be obedient to the Law of God?

Critici beweren dat Jesaja valse profetieën heeft gedaan. Deze studie onderzoekt de aard van profetische waarschuwingen, de voorwaardelijke taal en de vervulling van Jesaja’s voorspellingen en toont aan dat hij een getrouwe profeet was.

This 119 Thought reminds us that our sin offends ourselves as much as others. It calls believers to examine their own hearts, repent of self‑offense, and seek reconciliation with God and neighbour.

This study examines passages about adornment and concludes that Scripture does not prohibit jewelry or make‑up but warns against vanity and emphasizes the beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit.

This Minor Prophets study looks at Joel’s prophecy about the Day of YHWH. It warns of judgment but also promises salvation for those who call on YHWH and repent.

Just like John questioned Yeshua while he was in prison, and Peter denied Yeshua while Yeshua was facing trial, we will all have times that we question our faith in God Mon, 22 Aug 2022 16:27:25

The minor prophets with major messages series continues, this time with Jonah. Jonah’s story is relatively short in Scripture, but it has a major message strewn throughout. We learn we need to be merciful even as our Father is merciful. But how do you get that message from a man being swallowed by a whale? Check it out to find out. Mon, 27 Nov 2023 22:10:51

A Judaizer in the Scriptures is not what many today seem to think they are or were. It’s time to unpack the historical context and discover who the true “Judaizers” are.

It’s commonly taught that the Bible says not to judge others, and it does say that. However, is that all that Scripture has to say on that topic? Join us as we examine the subject of judging from a biblical perspective.

Justification is the act by which God declares a sinner righteous through faith. This teaching explains that we are justified by God’s grace through faith, not by our own works, yet true faith produces obedience. It distinguishes justification from sanctification and shows how both relate to salvation.

Justification, Sanctification, and Salvation explores how Scripture connects these three essential aspects of the believer’s walk. This short teaching explains how justification changes our status before God, how sanctification shapes our ongoing obedience, and how salvation is the final outcome secured by Messiah and displayed through a transformed life. Together, they reveal the beautiful harmony between faith, obedience, and eternal hope. Scriptures referenced: Romans 3:28; 1 John 5:2–3; Matthew 7:16; 2 Corinthians 13:5; Romans 6:22; Ezekiel 36:27. Takeaway: Understanding the biblical relationship between justification, sanctification, and salvation helps us walk in both grace and truth—trusting in Yeshua’s finished work while growing in the obedience that flows from genuine faith.

There are many stages in life beginning from the time we are babies all of the way until we reach adulthood. It’s the same for our walk with the Father once we are born again. For a time we are new, but eventually we need to begin learning to walk with the Creator. Thu, 18 Mar 2021 15:08:55

Scripture can teach us some lessons from Paul’s visit to Athens and his speech at the Areopagus (Mars Hill) found in Acts 17. A few of these lessons include how we approach a topic with someone whose views differ from ours, to not back down, and how to engage with them. Fri, 13 Aug 2021 22:02:22

“Let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath.” Paul's words in Colossians 2:16-17 are among the more popular verses used to prove the Torah doesn't apply today.

Many associate decorated trees with Christmas. This teaching looks at the origins of the Christmas tree and considers whether this practice aligns with Scripture. It challenges believers to examine traditions in light of God’s Word.

Why would Yeshua (Jesus) say to let the dead bury their own dead in Luke 9:60? Was the Messiah really that callous as to require his followers to abandon their dying family? What is the cost to following the Messiah, practically speaking? Mon, 18 Nov 2024 18:44:54

Part 5 continues examining difficult verses about life after death, offering scriptural explanations and reinforcing the series’ conclusions about the nature of death and the hope of resurrection.

Part 6 examines Scriptures about the resurrection of the just. There are so many questions that get asked about Scripture, but one of the oldest and most common has to do with life after death. In this teaching we take a look at what happens for those who are in the faith and participate in the first resurrection, the resurrection of the just.

Part 7 continues the discussion of the resurrection of the unjust, further exploring final judgment and the ultimate destiny of the wicked.

This Sabbath Reflection offers comfort and guidance for those grieving the loss of loved ones. It uses biblical principles to help believers process grief and find hope in Yeshua.

We are living a life of exile as Peter describes in his first letter. In 1 Peter 2:1-10 we learn more about what it means to be obedient children to our Father and what it looks like to have a desire for God in our lives. Wed, 29 Dec 2021 20:38:56

As we continue our bible study about a life in exile in 1 Peter 1, we look at verses 13-25 to find out that we are to be holy. The Father has a way that he wants his people to live, and it’s not like the rest of the world. What does a holy life look like? Fri, 10 Dec 2021 21:25:23

Living a Life in Exile doesn’t mean live poorly or away from the world. We still need to be behaving honorably among the gentiles. We continue our bible study through 1 Peter looking at 1 Peter 2:11 – 3:7. We may not be of the world, but we do still live in and need to represent the Father well. Fri, 21 Jan 2022 21:24:46

This teaching on 1 Peter 1:3–12 encourages believers living in exile to rejoice in their new birth and living hope through Yeshua’s resurrection, even amid trials.

Continuing our bible study, we look at 1 Peter 5, the final chapter in this series of a life in exile. In this chapter we see a final exhortation to both the young and old, to all believers, in how to conduct ourselves. He says to clothe yourselves with humility. We also give a high-level review of what we have learned throughout this journey through 1 Peter. Fri, 24 Jun 2022 21:08:23

Just because we are living a life in exile doesn’t mean we do not have a hope worth defending. Peter reminds us of this and more as we continue bible study in 1 Peter 3:8-22. Tue, 15 Feb 2022 23:40:50

As we begin our Bible Study on Peter’s first letter, we look at the introduction to 1 Peter, its authorship, audience, and the apostle’s thoughts on how we can live a life in exile. Fri, 04 Jun 2021 22:27:36

Continuing our Life in Exile Bible study series on 1 Peter, we look at chapter 4 and learn how we need perseverance in suffering. Life isn’t always easy, but we must push through to the end. There are benefits to our suffering, and our rewards are in eternity as children of the Most High. Mon, 11 Apr 2022 20:12:27

Our actions often reflect those of our fathers, for good or ill. This teaching explores biblical examples of generational patterns and encourages believers to break cycles of sin by following the example of our heavenly Father and His Son.

This teaching confronts the extremes of hyper‑literal Bible interpretation. It shows how misreading idioms and metaphors can lead to strange doctrines and encourages responsible study that respects the literary genres of Scripture.

In this live message, we look at Yeshua’s invitation to drink living water (John 7:37–38). It urges us to come to Messiah to quench our spiritual thirst and become channels of His Spirit.

In this live message, we examine Revelation 21:1–8. It contrasts cowards who shrink back from faith with conquerors who overcome through Yeshua and inherit the New Jerusalem.

Critics claim the God of the Bible is misogynistic. This live message addresses those accusations by examining passages in context, showing how the Torah protected women and upheld their value. It refutes misconceptions and demonstrates that God created men and women with equal worth.

Gebaseerd op Jakobus 4:1–3 onderzoekt deze live boodschap waar conflicten onder gelovigen vandaan komen. Het leert dat ruzies voortkomen uit egoïstische verlangens en roept ons op tot nederigheid, bekering en afhankelijkheid van Gods genade.

Hoe reageren gelovigen in een wereld vol onrust? Deze boodschap biedt Bijbelse bemoediging om beproevingen te doorstaan, trouw te blijven en Gods beloften te vertrouwen, en herinnert ons eraan dat Hij onze toevlucht en kracht is.

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.

Did the disciples of Messiah break the Sabbath when they plucked grains? Did Messiah indicate the Sabbath no longer mattered? Could he do whatever he wanted on the Sabbath because he was lord of the Sabbath as declared in the Matthew 12:1-8, Mark 2:23-28, and Luke 6:1-5 accounts? Fri, 24 Sep 2021 14:18:15

Did Yeshua contradict Moses when He said, “love your enemies”? We show how Matthew 5:43–48 aligns with Exodus 23:4–5 and why Yeshua corrected tradition, not Torah. We also explain “be perfect” (teleios) as spiritual maturity and give practical steps to love enemies. Scriptures (4–6): Matthew 5:43–48; Exodus 23:4–5; Leviticus 19:18; Luke 6:27–28; Romans 5:10; Matthew 5:17 Takeaway (1–2 sentences): Loving our enemies isn’t optional; it’s how we resemble our Father. Pray, greet, and help even those who oppose you—this is mature obedience.

This teaching helps reconcile God’s wrath with His love. It shows that His anger is just, purposeful, and aimed at restoring righteousness while offering mercy to those who repent.

In this Minor Prophets message, we look at Malachi’s call to return to YHWH and remember the Law of Moses. It highlights warnings against corruption and promises of a messenger to prepare the way.

This 119 Thought calls men to step up as spiritual leaders. It encourages husbands and fathers to love sacrificially, lead humbly, and model obedience to God’s Word.

Romans 14 deals with personal opinions about eating and days of fasting. Paul instructs believers not to judge one another over disputable matters while continuing to uphold God’s commandments. This teaching clarifies how to apply his advice.

This study examines Paul’s discussion about eating meat sacrificed to idols in 1 Corinthians 8–10 and how it applies to believers today.

The Bible tells us little about Melchizedek, yet his brief appearances have profound implications. This teaching examines Melchizedek’s role as king of Salem and priest of the Most High, explores historical traditions, and discusses his connection to Messiah.

In Part 1 of this teaching, we examine Yeshua’s cursing of the fig tree. We explore prophetic symbolism of Israel and lessons about fruitfulness, repentance, and faith.

Deel 2 van deze studie over de vijgenboom richt zich op Yeshua’s belofte dat wat wij ook vragen in geloof, wij zullen ontvangen. Het laat zien hoe dit verband houdt met de les van de verdorde vijgenboom en wat het betekent om naar Gods wil te vragen.

Micah delivered three cycles of judgment against idolatry, oppression and corrupt leaders, yet he also promised that a remnant would be restored. He foretold a ruler from Bethlehem who would shepherd Israel and called God’s people to ‘do justice, love mercy and walk humbly with your God’【796284751693056†L81-L104】.

In this episode, we explore Acts 15:21 and its often-overlooked role in defining the apostles’ expectations for Gentile believers. Far from replacing Torah observance, the Jerusalem Council outlined a process by which Gentiles would begin their discipleship in the synagogue—learning Moses week by week. Show Notes: How were Gentile believers expected to grow in their faith after being welcomed into the community without circumcision? Acts 15:21 provides the key. James assumed regular synagogue attendance, where Moses was read every Sabbath. This teaching challenges the idea that the four rules in Acts 15:20 are the totality of Gentile responsibility. Instead, it shows how Torah learning was foundational to early discipleship. Scripture, scholarship, and first-century practice come together in this powerful teaching. Takeaway: Torah observance for Gentiles was never off the table—it was always on the calendar: every Sabbath.

In Genesis 1:28, God commands humanity to be fruitful and multiply. This study explores the physical and spiritual aspects of that command, encouraging families to raise godly children and believers to make disciples.

God will not clear the guilty according to the minor prophet with a major message, Nahum. How is YHWH not clearing the guilty a comfort to us? What comfort can we find in the condemnation of Nineveh for its evil? Mon, 12 Feb 2024 19:05:02

Many call followers of Yeshua ‘narrow‑minded.’ This message reminds us that Yeshua taught a narrow path leading to life and encourages us to stay on that path regardless of criticism.

Yeshua compared scribes trained for the kingdom to homeowners who bring out treasures both new and old (Matthew 13:52). This teaching encourages believers to value both the 'Old Testament' and 'New Testament'—the ancient paths and the teachings of Messiah. It shows that the new cannot be understood without the old.

This announcement introduces the book 'The Pauline Paradox: What Did Paul Teach About the Law of God?' It invites readers to explore Paul's writings about the Torah and to dispel misunderstandings.

The Bible doesn't tell us much about Melchizedek, and the few times the name is mentioned it has some fairly large implications. Join us as we take a look at Melchizedek, in both a biblical and historical profile.

Exodus 35:3 verbiedt het aansteken van een vuur op de sabbat. Betekent dit dat men geen vuur mag maken om warm te blijven of te koken? Deze studie bekijkt de context en laat zien dat het verbod betrekking had op werkgerelateerde vuren, niet op basale behoeften.

The world says love is all we need, but the Bible defines love by God’s law. This study shows that without God’s instructions, we cannot truly love Him or others.

Does Isaiah 58:13–14 mean that we cannot have any pleasure on the Sabbath? Once again, context is everything...

After the Flood, God allowed Noah to eat meat, but did that include unclean animals? This teaching shows that clean and unclean distinctions existed before Moses and that Noah was not permitted to eat everything indiscriminately.

This study examines the unusual story of Genesis 9 where Noah becomes drunk and uncovers himself. It explains what Ham did, why Canaan was cursed, and what lessons we can learn about honor and disgrace.

The kingdom shall be YHWH’s in the end. The minor prophet with the major message, Obadiah, tells us of the coming judgment on the wicked and those who hurt Israel. How we treat others matters to God. Mon, 06 Nov 2023 16:17:04

When our beliefs come under scrutiny, do we follow Christ or human traditions? This teaching encourages believers to test doctrines against Scripture and reject ideas that originate with men rather than God.

One flesh is how the Bible defines a man joining with a woman in marriage. But what does it mean to be married Biblically speaking? What defines a marriage in the Father’s eyes? How do we, as believers, avoid sexual immorality and what exactly does the terms sexual immorality or fornication encompass? Mon, 14 Mar 2022 17:30:57

In part 2 of our One Flesh teaching about Biblical Chastity, Marriage, and Divorce, we define both the physical and spiritual definitions of adultery and how it relates to God’s Marriage to Israel. Mon, 21 Mar 2022 21:00:16

In this last part of our One Flesh series on biblical chastity, marriage, divorce, adultery, and remarriage we go through some of the more frequently asked questions relating to these topics such as: What is the Biblical definition of sex? If I live with someone and view them as my spouse, does that mean we are Biblically married? Can women divorce their husbands according to the Bible? If a man cheating on his wife is not “technically” considered adultery, how do you explain Mark chapter 10? If a woman was divorced for an illegitimate reason, and marries another, should she divorce her second husband? and more!

In part 3 of our One Flesh teaching about Biblical Chastity, Marriage, and Divorce, we take a closer look at the topics of divorce and remarriage. What exactly is divorce, when is it permitted, and are people who have been divorced allowed to marry again? Fri, 25 Mar 2022 21:40:19

This teaching explores the 'oracles of God'—the divine words entrusted to Israel. It discusses how Israel received the oracles and what it means for believers to steward and proclaim God’s Word today.

Many wonder if Exodus 16:29 forbids leaving one’s home on the Sabbath. This teaching examines the context and explores what it truly means to “remain in place” on Shabbat.

This Parashah Point examines the Torah portion Acharei Mot and focuses on Leviticus 18. God told Israel not to imitate the immoral practices of Egypt and Canaan but to keep His statutes. The chapter then lists various prohibited sexual relationships—incest, adultery, same‑sex relations, and bestiality—and warns that these abominations defile the land and invite God’s judgment. The teaching affirms that God’s standards for sexual purity are part of His moral law and still apply to believers today. Mon, 30 Jan 2023 20:12:26

In this Parashah Point on Acharei Mot, we explore why the Creator cares about our sexual relationships. Leviticus 18 establishes that sexual intimacy is sacred and sets boundaries to protect families and communities. The teaching explains that commands like “You shall not lie with mankind as with womankind; it is an abomination” are part of God’s moral law and reveal His desire for holiness. Believers are encouraged to honor God with their bodies and relationships, resisting the immoral practices of surrounding cultures. Thu, 20 Mar 2025 13:14:38

In this Parashah Point about the reading titled B’reisheet (Genesis 1:1 – 6:8), we examine the choice Adam and Eve made between life and death and how we all make similar choices, almost on a daily basis.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion B’reisheet, we cover Genesis 3:12-13 where we see the first instance of shifting blame. Instead of putting the blame on others, it’s time to realize that some of our problems are our own fault, at least in how we handle them.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion Balak, we read Numbers 22:28-29 where we find the Balaam learned that it’s important to listen when a donkey talks. We need to learn not to simply react to what we think we know.

In this week’s Parashah Point about the Torah Portion Balak, we examine the Phinehas mystery involving a son of Aaron killing two people. We see how it was not only okay with YHWH, but it actually turned aside His anger and saved the people of Israel.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion Bamidbar, we see in Numbers 3:5-8 how it wasn’t just the priests who had value when it came to serving the people. In the same way it isn’t just a pastor or preacher who has value, but if you support the Father’s work in any way, your work is significant too.

In this week's Parashah Point we look at the Torah Portion, Bamidbar. Numbers 1:1 tells us how YHWH spoke to Moses in the wilderness. We will take a look at how we are also on our own wilderness journey and what that might mean.

In this week’s Parashah Point, we review the Torah Portion Bechukotai. In Leviticus 26:40-42, 45 we see how even after great sin, if Israel turns back to YHWH and His ways, God is faithful to forgive them. In His everlasting mercy and grace, we can count on His faithfulness to us, even when we’ve been unfaithful to Him. We also look at Hebrews 6:4-6 briefly

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion Bechukotai, we learn there are blessings that comes from following the Torah, from walking in his ways. Leviticus 26:11-12 tells us what the greatest blessing of all is, we get to walk with God.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion called Beha’alotcha, we read Numbers 9:22-23 which details how the Creator led his people after Egypt. Israel was following the cloud of YHWH, dependent upon him for direction. Are you following the cloud?

In this week's Parashah Point on the Torah Portion Beha'alotcha, we look at Numbers 9:1-4 where YHWH reminds His people to observe and remember the Passover. There is a reason He wants us to remember it, and plenty of reasons why we should want to.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion Behar, we look at Leviticus 25:44-46, a set of often controversial verses since they relate to slavery in the Bible. More specifically, we’re going to take a brief look at the idea of foreign slaves in Israel.

The Torah portion Behar (Leviticus 25) introduces the Sabbatical (shemitah) and Jubilee years, during which the land rests, fields lie fallow, and debts are released. This Parashah Point explains that every seventh year debts were forgiven and slaves released, and in the fiftieth year land was returned to its original families. God’s system prevented perpetual poverty and reminded Israel that the land and all provision belong to Him. The teaching encourages believers to trust YHWH’s provision and practice compassion and generosity. Fri, 19 Nov 2021 16:31:09

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion, Beshalach, we read of Israel’s salvation from slavery in Egypt. As we look at Exodus 14:30-31 we see how being saved through the Father’s great power taught Israel to believe in Him and the one He sent, Moses, so they did not perish. In fact, we will see the echoes of Exodus even into the New Testament.

In this week’s Parashah Point on Beshalach, we take a brief look at the importance of singing throughout Scripture. Singing was used to bring honor and glory and praise to the Creator and sometimes they may also memorialize certain events. The Song of Moses found in Exodus 15 in one such song.

Passover commemorates Israel’s deliverance from Egypt and points forward to Messiah. In this Parashah Point, we address common questions about observing Passover today. Exodus 12 commands Israel to observe this feast as a lasting ordinance and to memorialise the sacrifice of the lamb. We discuss whether believers today should slaughter a lamb and note that the Passover was originally a domestic festival without a temple or priest. The study encourages families to remember YHWH’s redemption through symbolic elements like unleavened bread and the cup. Tue, 17 Dec 2024 18:39:44

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion, Bo, we look at knowing the importance of YHWH’s judgment and wrath. In Exodus 10:1-2 we are commanded to remember the plagues sent against Egypt as YHWH dealing harshly with them. These plagues are part of YHWH’s judgment as He poured out His wrath that we might know Him.

This Parashah Points draws from Genesis 24 and Ephesians 5, urging husbands to love their wives as Messiah loves the church. It highlights the example of Isaac’s tender love for Rebekah and the self‑sacrificial standard for husbands.

In this week’s Parashah Point, Chayei Sarah, we will look at how our father, Abraham dealt with the death of his beloved wife, Sarah in Genesis 23, and how we too may live through these moments.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion Chukat, we read Numbers 20:25-29 where Aaron dies. He’s replaced by his son as high priest, but the loss of Aaron meant Israel needed to trust God and keep going no matter who was their high priest.

In this week’s Parashah Point, we look at the Torah Portion Chukat covering Numbers 19:1 – 22:1, especially Numbers 20:10 and Numbers 20:12. We see how water was brought forth from a rock but Moses took the credit that was due to YHWH, he was stealing the credit from God.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion titled Devarim, we examine Deuteronomy 1:16-17 where it says to judge righteously and not to be intimidated. These principles extend passed courtroom and into other areas of our lives.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion Devarim, we review the traits and qualifications of what true leadership looks like according to Deuteronomy 1:13, 16-17. We also see how James echoes the same sentiments in James 3. Not all are called to be leaders or teachers, and those who are will be held to a higher standard.

In this week's Parashah Point on the Torah Portion, Ekev, we look at Deuteronomy 10:12-16. In this passage we see that Israel is supposed to have a circumcised heart, in other words, we need to have a changed heart.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion Ekev, we have Deuteronomy 8:7-14 where YHWH tells Israel of the prosperity to come, but then gives them a warning not to forget him. Why would he do that? Is there a potential problem with prosperity?

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portioned called Emor, we see the command to count seven weeks in Leviticus 23:15-16. We take a brief look at what this is about and how it is still relevant to believers today.

Leviticus 23 lists the Creator’s appointed times—Sabbath, Passover, Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits, Weeks (Pentecost), Trumpets, Day of Atonement, and Tabernacles. These festivals are God’s “appointed times” and sacred assemblies, not merely “Jewish holidays.” This Parashah Point explains the significance of each feast and shows how they reveal God’s plan of redemption and point to Messiah. Believers are encouraged to understand and honor these appointed times as part of God’s instruction for His people. Tue, 17 Dec 2024 18:39:44

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion called Ha’azinu, we read Deuteronomy 32:45-47. We find out that not only is the Torah good instruction for us, but it’s the word of life and should be taken to heart. In addition we see how Paul’s writings actually agree with Moses and himself!

This Parashah Points examines Deuteronomy 32, the Song of Moses. It draws lessons about life and death from Israel’s history and encourages us to choose life and faithfulness.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion titled Kedoshim, we read Leviticus 19:16 and are reminded that our words matter. Harmful speech such as gossip and slander should not come from our mouths if we want to be a truly set apart people.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion, Kedoshim, we look at the importance of Leviticus 19:18, or what James called “the royal law”.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion called Ki Tavo, we read Deuteronomy 26:11 which includes the command to rejoice. Even if we don’t always feel like rejoicing, don’t feel thankful, or don’t feel grateful, we need to rejoice in our Father’s provision.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion called, Ki Tavo, we read about the curses in Deuteronomy 28 that will befall Israel if they fail to be obedient. Most of us understand the value of blessings that come from obedience, but have you considered the value of curses?

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion called Ki Tetze, we see the parapet principle laid out in Deuteronomy 22:8, and how it applies today as negligence in our lives.

In this week's Parashah Point we look at the Torah Portion, Ki Tetze. We examine how Deuteronomy 24:16 applies to the practice of abortion after a rape. Is an abortion after a rape something that is morally justified according to Scripture?

In this week’s Parashah Point covering the portion named, Ki Tisa, we look at Exodus 32:1 and how Israel had Aaron create a substitute mediator for them because they couldn’t wait while Moses was up on the mountain. Are you waiting on God or are you moving ahead on your own?

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion Ki Tisa, we get an extra insight from Exodus 31:12-13 about another aspect of the Sabbath and sanctification.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion, Korach, Moses tells us in Numbers 16:8-10 that Korah’s rebellion was really about him dealing with discontentment. It’s important we all learn how to deal with discontentment appropriately.

De opstand van Korach (Numeri 16) waarschuwt tegen het verwerpen van door God aangestelde autoriteit. Deze Parashah Points aflevering bespreekt Korachs verlangen naar macht, de gevolgen van zijn opstand en hoe wij zijn fouten kunnen vermijden door Gods orde te respecteren.

In this week’s Parashah Point from the Torah Portion called Lech Lecha, we will focus on Genesis 12:1 when God spoke to Abram and how God speaks today.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion Lech Lecha, we review the call of Abraham found in Genesis 12:1-3. Just as Abraham was called out from his life to go into a new place, we too are called to leave our old lives behind to follow YHWH by walking as Messiah walked.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion Massei, we see in Numbers 35:16-18 that God instituted the death penalty in some circumstances. Contrary to the Pope Francis’ declaration, the capital punishment is not against the Creator’s moral standard.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion, Massei, we take a look at Numbers 35:28 and how impactful the death of the High Priest was on those who claimed sanctuary in the cities of refuge. Not only did his death impact them in their day, but it was also a type and shadow of the death of our Messiah.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion called Mattot, we read Numbers 30:2 about keeping our promises. Essentially it’s the Creator’s way of saying don’t be a flake. Our word is to mean something as we are his people.

In this week’s Torah Portion titled, Mattot, we look at Numbers 31:15-18 which some believe shows the bible condone human trafficking. With a little context and biblical knowledge it’s easy to see that isn’t the case at all.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion Metzora, we examine the command found in Leviticus 14:2 in light of Messiah. How might we apply the same concept of bringing a leper to the priest in modern times? How might we cleans the lepers today?

The Metzora portion (Leviticus 14–15) outlines procedures for skin diseases and bodily discharges. This short teaching reflects on the spiritual lessons of purity and restoration found in these chapters. It encourages believers to pursue purity of heart and body as we draw near to God.

In this week’s Parashah Point taken from the Torah Portion, Miketz, we will look at self-control, and how Joseph used it when his emotions were running high in Genesis 43.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion titled, Miketz, we are reminded that no matter the hard times we may be going through, we need to keep our hope in God just as we’re shown that Joseph did in Genesis 41:50-52.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the portion named, Mishpatim, we look at the commandment in Exodus 23:4-5 about helping our neighbor, even if that neighbor is an enemy or someone we hate. We see how we cannot be ruled by our emotions because sometimes our emotions may actually cause us to break the Torah.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion titled Mishpatim, we see the Law of Retaliation laid out for us in Exodus 21:23-25. Some opponents of the Torah indicate an eye for an eye is a barbaric and horrific law, but is the literal understanding the correct one?

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion called Nasso, we look at Numbers 5:1-4. It deals with putting people outside the camp; then we will see how it parallels what Messiah said in Matthew 18 as well as how we apply that today.

In this week’s Parashah Point from the Torah Portion, Nasso, we look examine the priestly blessing as found in Number 6:24-26. Not only is it a blessing from YHWH given to His people through His priests, but it provides us hope for our future. The priestly blessing is really a blessing of hope.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion called Nitzavim, we read Deuteronomy 29:10-15 and find out not only what it takes to be the people of YHWH, but also who it includes. This definition comes directly from the Creator through the mouth of Moses; this is the Creator’s definition, not man’s.

In this week's Parashah Point from the Torah Portion, Nitzavim, we look at Deuteronomy 29:18-20 and the consequences of unforgiveness or other roots of bitterness and poisonous fruit in our lives.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the portion Noach, we look at Genesis 9:3 to see if Noah could eat all animals, both the clean and unclean.

This week’s Parashah Point comes from Noach, which is the Hebrew name for “Noah.” This is the second weekly parashah in the annual cycle of Torah reading, and it goes from Genesis 6:9 to Genesis 11:32.

In this week’s Parashah Point about the portion titled, Pekudei, we see that close records were kept in relation to the Tabernacle according to Exodus 38:21 and relate that to our own lives. Should our spiritual lives be audited any less rigorously than what went into the Father’s Tabernacle?

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion, Pekudei, we see how God’s dwelling place on Earth has changed throughout history. In Exodus 40:34 we see it’s beginning in the tabernacle when His glory filled the tent of meeting. Over time, God’s dwelling place continues to increase.

In this Parashah Point on the Torah Portion titled Pinchas, judging wisely is what Moses exemplifies when faced with a new situation in Numbers 27.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion Pinchas, we see that Moses is going to die and a successor is needed. Numbers 27:15-19 shows how Moses’s first concern was for who would lead Israel, and God’s response shows us why discipleship matters.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion titled, Re’eh, we are given Deuteronomy 13:1-5 in which YHWH tells us how to identify a false prophet. Watching for signs and wonders aren’t enough, even a false prophet can perform them.

In this week’s Parashah Point we look at the Torah Portion called Re’eh. We find out, in Deuteronomy 14:2-3 a very important reason our diet is important to the Creator, namely why we should eat clean.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion, Shelach, we see how, in Numbers 15:15-16, the Torah was given to everyone. It is one law for all, both the stranger/sojourner and the native born Israelite.

In this week’s Parashah Point from the Torah Portion Shelach, we come across Numbers 15:38-39 which gives the command for us to wear tzitziyot. Not unlike the WWJD bracelets of the 1990’s, these tassels remind us about how we are to live, like Messiah did.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the portion titled Shemini, we look at the command from the Creator to be holy because He is holy. We see how one way that we are set apart, or holy, involves our diet. We also see that Peter reminds us to be holy in all of our conduct, which would include what we consume.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion Shemini, we see what happened to Aaron’s sons, Nadab and Abihu in Leviticus 10:1-3 when they offered unauthorized fire. There’s a lesson to be learned there for those who are dedicated to serving their Creator.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion, Shemot, we see how amazing our Creator is as Exodus 2:23-25 shows Him doing four things. God heard Israel. God remembered His promise to Abraham. God saw His people suffering. God knew their troubles.

In the Parashah Point about the Torah Portion, Shemot, we look at two women who take a stand against Pharaoh risking their lives standing up for life (Exodus 1:15-17). The same spirit they stood up against still exists today and requires His people to again stand up for the speechless.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion Shoftim, we see in Deuteronomy 18 where we are told don’t listen to false prophets.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion Shoftim, we find how important humility is for a king of Israel according to Deuteronomy 17:18-20, just as it is for us today.

This Parashah Points study examines Leviticus 12:1–8 and the ritual impurity associated with childbirth. It explains the difference between ritual impurity and sin, and shows how the purification sacrifice points to Yeshua’s atonement.

In Parashah Tazria, this teaching discusses the connection between sin and suffering. It examines the laws of tsara’at (leprosy), the role of the priest, and how Messiah heals and restores those afflicted by sin.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the portion titled, Terumah, we look at how we are to have a desire for God to dwell in our midst, to be in His presence. Exodus 25:8 shows us His desire to dwell with His people, but He doesn’t go where He isn’t wanted.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion, Terumah, we see how having a generous heart is really what the Father wants of us. When He commissioned His sanctuary in Exodus 25:2, He did not require everyone to donate, instead He only received contributions from those whose heart wanted to give.

In this week’s Parashah Point about the portion named, Tetzaveh, we look see how God cares about what we wear, just as He had specific garments for the priests to wear as indicated in Exodus 28:2.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion Tetzaveh, we’re reminded in Exodus 28:2 that beauty is important to the Creator. How often are we taking the time to enjoy the beauty found in the world around us that is still only a shadow of the transcendent beauty that we’ll see when all is renewed.

In Genesis 25 we see Esau sell his birthright to Jacob for a bowl of stew. Unfortunately, we may be doing the same thing in our own lives today. Join us for this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion Toldot to examine what “stew” in your life might be causing you to sell your birthright—or even your soul.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion, Toldot, we see that while Jacob was a sinner He still received God’s blessing. We’re no different today, because of the Father’s grace, we are all Jacob.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion called Tzav, we see how the priests are told in Leviticus 6:12-13, to be sure they don’t let the fire go out on the altar. While this was a literal instruction for them in the physical temple, how might we apply this lesson to our own lives, spiritually?

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion named, Tzav, we look at the importance of restitution as required by the Torah in Leviticus 6:4-7. We are required by the Torah to make restitution when we wrong someone. If we claim to follow the Word, then this is a topic we cannot afford.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion called, Va’era, we see how knowing God’s name is something even Israel’s forefathers didn’t know, according to Exodus 6:2-3. However, we see His name throughout Genesis, how is it that Abraham didn’t know the Father’s name? What is meant here?

This week’s Parashah Point comes from Va’era, which is Hebrew for “I appeared,” and it goes from Exodus 6:2 to Exodus 9:35.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion Va’etchanan, we read Deuteronomy 3:23-26 when God says no to Moses. The Father doesn’t always give us what we want, and we need to learn to accept it just as Moses did.

In this week’s Parashah Point from the Torah Portion, Va’etchanan, we read the shema in Deuteronomy 6:4-5 and take look at what it really means to love YHWH with all of our heart, soul, and might.

The Vayakhel portion (Exodus 35–38) describes Israel building the tabernacle according to God’s instructions. This brief teaching reminds us not to overlook simple acts of obedience; God’s presence dwells where His people faithfully follow His directions.

Building the tabernacle involved creating a physical space for God’s presence among His people. This short teaching encourages believers today to prepare their hearts and lives as a dwelling place for God by walking in obedience.

This week’s Parashah Point comes from Vayechi, which is Hebrew for “and he lived,” and it goes from Genesis 47:28 to Genesis 50:26.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion Vayechi, we examine the Joseph’s prophecy to his brothers when he said “God will surely visit you,” in Genesis 50:24. Just as Israel waited for their salvation from the Egyptians, we too await the return of our Savior to bring us back to the Promised Land.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion called Vayelech, we read Deuteronomy 31:8 where we find God’s presence is promised to his people. We take a brief look at what it means to have his presence in our lives and how we can get it.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion, Vayelech, we see in Deuteronomy 31:12-13 how the Torah is for all nations. Israel was charged by the Creator to make disciples of all nations.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion Vayera, we look at the story of Abraham when he was commanded to sacrifice his child, Isaac. We look at the question of morality of such a command, and one possible way that we should be understanding the story.

In this week’s Parashah Point, Vayera, we look at Genesis 18 and see what it really means to do the works of Abraham by showing hospitality to our neighbors like he did.

In this week’s Parashah Point from Genesis 39 in the Torah Portion named Vayeshev, we’re going to look at how Joseph was the perfect example of how we should respond when we come up against temptation, especially of the sexual immorality type.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion Vayeshev we look at Reuben’s regret regarding how he and his brothers treated Joseph. We see how, with YHWH’s help, we too can move forward and leave any shame we may feel behind as a new creation through our faith in the Word.

In this week's Parashah Point about the Torah Portion entitled, Vayetze, we see that now matter where you are in life or what you've done, God always meets you where you are.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion Vayetze, we see how Laban and his sons turned against Jacob after YHWH blessed him in Genesis 31. How easy it is for us to turn to jealousy and resentment when others have what we want; yet we are to rejoice with those who rejoice.

This week’s Parashah Point comes from Vayigash, which is Hebrew for “he drew near,” and it goes from Genesis 44:18 to Genesis 47:27.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion Vayigash, we look at the prophetic parallels between Joseph and Yeshua. As a type-and-shadow of the coming Messiah, Joseph’s story tells us the story of what the coming Messiah was going to go through as planned out by the Creator.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion Vayikra, we look at what it takes to be able to draw near to God. Leviticus 1:1-4 gives us a picture of what needs to be done to be accepted by the Father, and then we also see how we can do this today when the sacrificial system is no longer in place.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion called Vayikra, we do something a little different. There are many who find Leviticus boring and unnecessary in the modern world. So today, we want to look at why Leviticus matters, or should matter, to believers today.

What does Paul mean when he says, “For freedom Christ has set us free”? Many assume it means we’re free from the law—but Scripture reveals something far deeper. This episode walks through Galatians 4–5, Psalm 119, and James 1 to show how the Torah is not bondage but freedom. Messiah did not free us from God’s law—He freed us from sin. Obedience is not legalism. It’s liberty. And it’s the life Yeshua modeled perfectly. Wed, 04 Jun 2025 19:38:17

This Parashah Points looks at Genesis 32–33, focusing on Jacob’s reconciliation with Esau, forgiveness, and the restoration of family relationships.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion called Vezot Habracha, we read Deuteronomy 34:5-6 where Moses dies. We see the Father taking care of the dead body, showing us that we too need to care of those who have passed.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion Vezot Habracha, we examine the concept of the prophet like Moses and see how Deuteronomy 34:9-10 show us that it was not Joshua. If it wasn’t Joshua, then who else could it have been?

In this week’s Parashah Point on the portion named Yitro, we see the Creator begin to outline His covenant with Israel and Israel accepting it in Exodus 19:7-8. This covenant is not unlike a marriage covenant and ceremony where promises or vows are made by both sides. Take a look at our how obedience to His Word helps fulfill our part of the marriage.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion Yitro, we see that Moses is given a bit of wisdom from someone else. We are reminded that even someone who is wise can learn from someone else.

Did Paul oppose the Torah? In this episode, we respond directly to anti-missionary Rabbi Tovia Singer’s claims that Paul was antinomian. We walk through the accusations, examine the evidence, and demonstrate from Scripture and history that Paul remained faithful to the Torah and encouraged others to do likewise. Show Notes In this podcast, we address the charge that Paul “detested the Law of Moses.” Rabbi Singer makes this claim in his video, but is it accurate? Using Acts, Galatians, Romans, and insights from early believers like Luke and Peter, we show how this accusation misunderstands Paul’s writings. We also explore how twisting Paul’s letters into lawlessness leads people into the very error Peter warned against. Scripture Highlights Acts 21:24 Galatians 6:2 Romans 3:31 2 Peter 3:15–17 1 Corinthians 5:8 Acts 15:21 Spiritual Takeaway When we read Paul rightly, we find a man who followed Yeshua and upheld the Torah—not one who taught others to abandon it.

This teaching examines Paul’s identity as leader of the Nazarene sect (Acts 24:5). It clarifies what being a Nazarene means and how Paul upheld the law while preaching the gospel.

This episode of Peoples of the Bible examines the Assyrians—who they were, their empire, and their interactions with Israel and Judah.

Who were the Babylonians, and why does the Bible keep pointing back to them? This episode follows Babylon from Babel to the exile, through the prophets, and into Revelation’s “Babylon the Great,” drawing lessons for our walk with YHWH today. Scriptures (4–6): Genesis 11:1–9; 2 Kings 24–25; Jeremiah 25:11; Daniel 5:26–28; Isaiah 13:17–19; Revelation 17:5–6 Takeaway (1–2 sentences): YHWH humbles the proud and preserves his people. When the wicked seem to prosper, we trust, obey, and wait—knowing he sets up and removes kings in his time.

There are many different peoples of the Bible outside of Israel. Who were the Canaanites? What role did they play in Israel’s history? What gods did they serve? Find out in this short video about peoples of the Bible, the Canaanites. Mon, 13 Jan 2025 21:06:03

Who were the Egyptians, and what does Scripture—and history—actually say about them? From their origin in Mitzraim (Genesis 10:6) to their complex religion, monumental architecture, and repeated intersections with Israel, this teaching explores how YHWH judged Egypt’s gods in the plagues, warned Israel against trusting in Pharaoh, and still promises a future when the nations worship him. We close by connecting Israel’s deliverance from Egypt to our freedom from sin through Yeshua (Romans 6). Show Notes / Outline Origins & Geography: Egypt from Mitzraim; Nile floodplain and grain abundance. Culture & Power: Pharaoh as divine kingship; temples, pyramids, craftsmen. Religion: Amun-Ra, Osiris, Horus; magic and afterlife emphasis; why “judgments on the gods of Egypt” matters (Exodus 12:12). Scripture Intersections: Abraham, Joseph, the Exodus; later kings trusting Egypt and the prophetic rebukes. Prophecy & Hope: Assyria/Babylon era lessons; future worship of YHWH among the nations (Sukkot). Discipleship Application: Don’t “return to Egypt.” Freed from sin, we serve YHWH in righteousness through Yeshua (Romans 6). Challenge: Test everything by the whole Word (1 Thessalonians 5:21) Key Takeaway YHWH alone saves. Israel’s deliverance from Egypt points us to our deliverance from sin through Yeshua—so we must not run back to our “Egypt,” but walk in faithful obedience to his commandments.

This 119 Thought encourages believers facing persecution, reminding us that suffering for righteousness is part of following Yeshua and will be rewarded.

Persevering Through the Fire—Enduring Persecution and Tribulation reminds us that trials are not a sign of YHWH’s absence—they are His refining fire. If we remain faithful in hardship, we are promised a crown of life and eternal reward. This message draws strength from Job, Yeshua, and the apostles, urging us to endure growing persecution and tribulation in the days ahead. Show Notes: In this powerful message, we explore how persecution, trials, and tribulation are used by YHWH to refine His people and prepare us for the return of Messiah. Scripture shows that suffering is part of the walk of faith—not a deviation from it. Highlights Include: Why trials are evidence of Yahweh’s love and refining process (Hebrews 12:6) Job’s story: tested by loss, vindicated in faith (Job 42:5) Yeshua’s example of silent endurance (Hebrews 12:2) Tribulation, persecution, and the end times (Matthew 24:9) The reward for endurance: the crown of life (James 1:12) You are not alone in the fire. Stand firm. Yahweh is with you.

The Torah forbids eating pork, but does science support this command? This teaching looks at the biological and ecological reasons why pigs are considered unclean, from their digestive system to their role in ecosystems, and shows the wisdom behind God’s dietary laws.

Leviticus 19:19 prohibits the planting of mixed seeds together among other things. What does this strange commandment mean? How has it been interpreted in the past and how should we see it today? Is it even possible to truly know the meaning behind and practical application of this command? Fri, 10 Dec 2021 22:49:21

Are praise and worship the same? This teaching examines the Hebrew and Greek terms and shows that praise is joyful acknowledgment of who God is, while worship is the act of humbling ourselves and submitting to Him. Worship is not just music but obedience and reverence.

This short message challenges believers to approach their walk with God as seriously as professionals approach their careers. It urges us to study, practice, and live out the Word with diligence and excellence.

This teaching praises the Bereans for examining the Scriptures daily (Acts 17:11) and encourages believers to test every teaching against the Word.

Refined by Fire: Faithfulness in the Midst of Suffering is a powerful biblical message for those facing deep pain and trials. When YHWH seems silent, when comfort is gone, when suffering is real—this teaching reminds us He is near. Show Notes: From Job to Yeshua, Scripture shows us that affliction is not abandonment but refinement. In this message, you’ll find clarity, comfort, and courage to endure. Learn how suffering purifies faith, strengthens character, and prepares us for eternal reward.

Drawing from Ezekiel 18, this teaching calls believers to repentance. God takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked but desires that we turn from sin and live. Repentance is turning away from transgression and living according to God’s instructions.

In Matthew 11 Messiah said that we should take His yoke because it is light and that He will give us rest for our souls. What would these phrases have meant to His audience, and what do they mean for us today?

Sin distorts the image of God in us. This 119 Thought calls us to repent and return to the image of God by following Yeshua’s example and walking in the Spirit.

In Philippians 3 it can appear that Paul is saying the Law of God is no longer for us because of faith in Christ. Paul writes: “not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ—the righteousness from God that depends on faith.” What does he really mean?

Some say the Law of God ended and point to Romans 10:4. Let’s test that...

This remastered teaching discusses why we shouldn’t offer sacrifices outside the Temple. It explains that Messiah’s sacrifice fulfills the Levitical system and why backyard sacrifices are not biblically permitted today.

Is the law of God as written down by Moses set aside—or is it there to set us apart? What happens if we set aside the Law of Moses? You might be surprised by how the author of Hebrews answers that question.

Did the Law of God change after the cross? In Matthew 5:17-19, what does the passing of the first Heaven and first Earth have to do with fulfilling all of the Law and Prophets? What is it about Heaven and earth and the law of God? Mon, 17 Jun 2024 21:46:34

Should Christians be inclusive of all sinners and lifestyles into their assemblies? Should the Church welcome every sinner and let them continue to live in that sin? What about the verses that say not to even associate with some sinners? How do we know who to accept and who not to into the Body? Wed, 08 May 2024 22:06:57

This teaching asks whether followers of Yeshua should observe the food laws of Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14. It shows that these instructions remain beneficial and are part of holy living.

This teaching examines the biblical law of redeeming the firstborn and explains the spiritual lessons behind this practice, pointing to Messiah as the firstborn who redeems us.

This video addresses Deuteronomy 21:18–21 about the rebellious son. It clarifies the historical context, the role of parents and elders, and how we apply this command in modern times.

You may have heard that tzitzits are only for men. We can take what we hear and believe it, or we can test it. In the spirit of testing everything, this teaching puts that doctrine to the test of the Word.

Snakes and scorpions can represent spiritual enemies. This teaching compares physical creatures to spiritual forces and encourages believers to rely on Yeshua’s authority over all the power of the enemy (Luke 10:19).

The subject of speaking in tongues is highly debated among believers today. What was Paul referring to in 1 Corinthians 14? Was it different than what happened in Acts 2? Is speaking in tongues referring to human languages? Ecstatic Utterances? Something else? Tue, 28 Mar 2023 12:43:05

This teaching addresses whether the gift of tongues has ceased. It compares continuationist and cessationist views and examines relevant passages to understand the purpose of tongues.

The FAQ instalment answers common questions about tongues, including interpretation, private prayer language, and how the gift should operate in the assembly.

What are spiritual sacrifices? What should we offer to God in modern times without a temple? Fri, 11 Dec 2020 15:42:04

Many desire fellowship with others, in fact, we are commanded to assemble ourselves. Yet there isn’t always an established group where we live. Join us as we review some recommendations of do’s and don’ts when it comes to setting up a home fellowship. Tue, 14 May 2024 01:13:19

Yeshua said He would be in the grave for three days and three nights (Matthew 12:40)—but from Friday to Sunday, the math doesn’t work. So what does the Bible actually say? In Strange Math, we lay aside tradition and let Scripture speak. By examining the biblical calendar and the difference between weekly and high Sabbaths, this short teaching reveals the true timeline of Messiah’s death, burial, and resurrection. It’s not complicated—it’s just biblical. Ready to count it out?

Torah is not just for the synagogue; it’s meant to be lived out in the streets and marketplaces. This teaching calls believers to integrate God’s instructions into everyday life and share His ways with the world.

The Psalms teach us many things from how we should live to reminders of the Creator’s goodness and mercy. As we begin continue our bible study with studies in Psalms, we hear first of the way of the righteous in Psalm 1. Do you follow the way of the righteous or the way of the wicked? Mon, 09 Aug 2021 14:32:34

Should we be subjecting ourselves to the governing authorities even if they go against the Torah? What did Paul mean by his statements in Romans 13:1-7? Fri, 19 Nov 2021 16:36:24

In Leviticus 23:40 we are commanded to rejoice, and in verse 42 we are told this is during the Feast of Sukkot (Tabernacles or Booths). It seems like an odd command, but is there a deeper meaning behind it—something where the physical reality and command teach us a spiritual truth?

Many love to talk about Torah, and with good reason. However, this teaching warns against gossip and idle talk disguised as Bible discussion. It encourages us to speak truth in love and live out what we teach.

This teaching examines traditional Jewish garments like the tallit and kippah. It asks whether Scripture commands their use and discusses their symbolism and purpose.

This Sabbath Reflection considers Yeshua’s parable of the sower. It encourages us to uproot the thorns in our lives—distractions and worries—that choke out the Word and to bear fruit.

This teaching examines the claims of the 'King James Only' movement. It tests the arguments that only the KJV is the true Word of God and affirms the reliability of various translations.

This teaching tests the claim that Adam had a wife named Lilith. It traces the myth’s origin to the medieval Alphabet of Ben Sira and notes that Lilith appears only as a night creature in Isaiah 34:14【972792749630187†L60-L69】. The lesson shows there is no biblical support for the Lilith story and urges viewers to reject pagan folklore【972792749630187†L95-L107】.

This teaching examines the pseudepigraphical Book of Enoch. 1 Enoch is an ancient Jewish apocalyptic work falsely attributed to Enoch; it is not part of the biblical canon【790798144106050†L44-L59】. While interesting, GotQuestions notes that apocryphal books like Enoch should be treated as fallible historical documents rather than inspired Scripture【790798144106050†L123-L127】. The video warns against building doctrine on non‑canonical writings.

This video tests the authenticity of the so‑called Book of Jasher. The modern ‘Book of Jasher’ published in 1751 is a forgery, and the 1625 Sefer haYashar is a later midrash—there are no ancient manuscripts of the book referenced in the Bible【121471093412836†L225-L247】. Viewers are cautioned to rely on Scripture, not on spurious works.

This teaching reviews the Book of Jubilees, a second‑century BC pseudepigraphal work that retells Genesis and Exodus in ‘jubilees’ of 49 years【884453740921253†L43-L62】. Jubilees advocates a 364‑day solar calendar, adds to the Mosaic Law and glorifies the patriarchs, and only a 6th‑century Ethiopic manuscript survives【884453740921253†L43-L62】. Because it alters Scripture and lacks canonical authority【884453740921253†L120-L135】, the video urges caution when reading it.

The 'serpent seed' doctrine claims that Eve’s sin in the Garden involved sexual relations with the serpent, producing Cain. This teaching tests that claim against Scripture, showing that Genesis records nothing of the sort and that Cain was the son of Adam. It exposes the roots of this doctrine and affirms the biblical account.

This teaching investigates the origins of the six‑pointed Star of David (hexagram). Historical sources show the symbol predates Judaism and was used in many cultures; it is not mentioned in the Bible【874523824415496†L62-L67】. Jews adopted the star only in the mid‑14th century【50935653712464†L78-L84】. The video explores claims of pagan connections and encourages viewers to test traditions against Scripture.

This follow‑up answers common questions raised by the Star of David teaching. It clarifies that the hexagram has been used by various cultures, was adopted by Jewish communities in the Middle Ages, and has no biblical mandate【874523824415496†L62-L67】【50935653712464†L78-L84】. Viewers are reminded that a symbol’s meaning depends on how it is used and that only Scripture defines worship.

The purpose and meaning of the 144,000 in the Book of Revelation is a strong curiosity to many. Is it a literal 144,000 or more of a symbolic nature? What might be more interesting is the hidden message in the listing of the 12 tribes of Israel.

This teaching connects the 144,000 of Revelation with the Holy of Holies. It explores who these servants are, their role in end‑time events, and their relationship to God’s presence.

Some teach that Gentiles are only obligated to keep seven laws given to Noah. This teaching examines the origins of the Noahide laws and argues that God’s Torah applies to all who join His covenant, not just a subset of rules.

In The Age to Come – How to Time Travel to the Future, we explore how the Spirit brings the future Kingdom into our present experience. Through the Spirit, believers are empowered for internal transformation, healing, unity, and worship. Though the Kingdom isn’t here in full, its power is already breaking into this age. This teaching shows how Scripture connects the promises of the age to come with the life we live right now—through the Spirit of God.

Amos 3:7 says that YHWH does nothing without revealing it to His prophets. This teaching challenges viewers to pay attention to the prophets and test modern teachings by their words.

The greatest deception of the end times might already be inside the Church. This episode exposes how the antichrist spirit redefines grace and leads people to deny Yeshua—while believing they follow him. What if rejecting Torah isn’t just error—but alignment with the enemy? What if the strong delusion isn’t coming—but already here? We’ll walk through Daniel, 1 John, and Paul to uncover what Scripture really says. Scripture Highlights: Daniel 7:25 1 John 2:3–6, 4:3 2 Thessalonians 2:3–12 Jeremiah 16:19 Psalm 119:142, 151 Matthew 7:21–23 Takeaway: The antichrist spirit leads people away from YHWH’s law—while calling it grace. True love for Yeshua means walking as he walked, in Torah.

The bigger picture that we, as believers, should have is not always in the front of our minds. Our lives, like everyone else’s, are often filled with troubles and difficulties. We cannot allow them to pull us away from the Father; after all, if we turn to him, he is faithful to be there for us. Mon, 15 Aug 2022 18:13:49

There’s a growing theory among some Messianic believers and a group in Hebrew Roots that the Book of the Covenant and the Book of the Law are 2 different things; that part of the Torah no longer applies today. It’s time to test the pillars of this theory to see if they stand up to Scripture. Mon, 08 Jul 2024 18:54:47

This teaching delves into the closed 'mem' in Isaiah 9:7, exploring ancient scribal traditions and how this anomaly hints at the Messianic identity of the child born in Isaiah’s prophecy.

For all who have served their country in military service, there is a sense of honor, respect and accomplishment in doing so—it’s as if they have answered their “call of duty” for their country. But what about our call of duty to our heavenly Father? Is there one? Is it possible for us to even be considered His soldiers? Join us as we consider our call of duty to the Father.

What does Hebrews 7:12 mean when it says there is a change in the law? This study digs deeper into the context and shows that the change refers to the transfer of priesthood from Levi to the order of Melchizedek. Yeshua’s priesthood requires a shift in priestly administration, not the abolition of God’s Torah. The law remains unchangeable; only the priesthood’s role is adjusted to accommodate our eternal high priest.

This trailer previews the documentary 'The Christmas Question,' which investigates the origins of Christmas traditions and encourages viewers to seek truth about this holiday.

This feature‑length documentary investigates the history of Christmas. It traces how pagan winter festivals and symbols became intertwined with celebrations of Jesus’ birth and presents interviews with scholars, historians, pastors, and even a modern pagan. The film fairly presents differing views and challenges viewers to consider whether adapting pagan customs for Christian worship aligns with Scripture. Ultimately, it encourages believers to examine their traditions and decide whether celebrating Christmas honours the Messiah. Mon, 19 Apr 2021 21:33:01

It's time to take a look at the church: his model, not something man has created over the centuries. It seems that few realize the Bible details the intended structure for the Body of the Messiah, the church, Israel. Even fewer might realize that our Lord really cares how we choose to organize ourselves. Certainly a sensitive topic, this teaching presents a conclusion far different than the norm when it comes to looking at how the body assembles. We pray it offers much to consider, and brings us closer to our Father. Mon, 18 Dec 2023 20:22:58

To compliment our teaching “The Church: His Model” we have released a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) follow-up to assist in offering additional clarity on this complicated and controversial subject. In this presentation we are going to respond to a large number of questions surrounding this topic that we did not get covered in the main teaching. Some of these questions include: Does the Moses Model work? What about Paul appointing elders? Does this mean Paul had more authority? What about Hebrews 13:7 and 13:17? What is the Hebraic difference in the usage of elder, shepherd, or pastor? and more!!! Before you proceed with the rest of this teaching, we ask that you watch the teaching titled, “The Church: His Model” first.

Skeptics point to differences between Genesis 1 and 2 as a contradiction. This teaching explains why the two chapters are complementary—chapter 1 provides a chronological overview of creation, while chapter 2 zooms in on the creation of humanity. There is no discrepancy when each is read in context.

This teaching reveals prophetic patterns embedded in the seven‑day creation account, showing how each day foreshadows major events in God’s plan of redemption and points to Messiah.

Deuteronomy 13 provides the test for prophets and teachers: do they lead you to worship other gods or turn you away from God’s commandments? This teaching shows how to apply that test today to discern truth from deception.

The Divine Test, a way of proving our faith through God’s commandments. But what is this divine test? What does it really prove? How can we pass a test and prove our faith to Yahweh? Mon, 02 Dec 2024 22:43:39

The end of all mankind is the same for all of us, from the rich to the poor; we all die. What would happen if we lived our lives with that end in mind? Why would a preacher say sorrow is better than laughter when giving wisdom on life and death? What was the speaker in Ecclesiastes 7:1-6 getting at? What wisdom can be gleaned from proverbs that almost seem counterintuitive? Fri, 19 Jul 2024 16:11:38

This video answers whether the church has replaced Israel. It critiques dispensational ideas, demonstrating from Scripture that Gentile believers are grafted into Israel rather than replacing her, and that God’s covenant promises still stand.

What is lashon hara? It’s the evil tongue; but beyond that, what does it mean? Is it as simple as gossip and slander or is there more to it? Is it a command or a tradition? What do the Scriptures say about the evil tongue? Wed, 30 Jun 2021 18:43:09

In this next Bible Study series on the book of Daniel, we look at what is known about the writings of the exiled prophet. Included in this introduction to the book of Daniel is an examination of when it was written, by whom it was written, and who the audience was. Tue, 25 Jan 2022 20:52:44

In Daniel 9, the exiled prophet prays a prayer of repentance for Israel’s sins. Why was this necessary? What was Daniel shown in his vision that would make him feel as if he needed to pray such a prayer? Mon, 27 May 2024 22:29:23

Continuing in the book of Daniel, we learn of a terrifying vision the exiled prophet receives in chapter 10. We’ll take a look at the circumstances surrounding the vision, how it begins with an angelic visitor, and Daniel’s very real physical response. Tue, 23 Jul 2024 15:02:07

Daniel 11 lays out one of the most intricate prophetic timelines in all of Scripture. From Persian kings to Greek generals, from the rise of Antiochus Epiphanes to the defilement of the temple—every line of this chapter has been fulfilled with remarkable accuracy. Show Notes: This episode covers the historical and spiritual significance of Daniel 11. You’ll learn about: The Prophetic Perfect tense and fulfilled timelines The historical rise and fall of Antiochus Epiphanes The abomination of desolation and its parallels in the words of Yeshua How faithful Jews resisted and what we can learn from their courage

In the final chapter of Daniel, the prophet receives a vision of the end times. Daniel 12 promises that those who sleep in the dust will awaken—some to everlasting life and others to shame and contempt. The wise will shine like the brightness of the sky, and those who lead many to righteousness will shine like stars forever.

Continuing with our Bible Study series, The Exiled Prophet, we look at Daniel 1. In the opening chapter we already see Daniel’s wisdom during his early life in Babylon and how he is an example even to us today as we live in a world hostile to the Torah. Fri, 04 Feb 2022 22:39:40

Continuing our Bible study series on the book of Daniel, the Exiled Prophet, we look at how God raises Daniel to prominence in one of the great kingdoms of this world. Fri, 11 Mar 2022 20:18:26

As we continue our Bible study on The Exiled Prophet, Daniel, we look at a story about taking a walk through fire. King Nebuchadnezzar requires false idol worship; if you didn’t then you died by fire. It’s a story to keep in mind when we too face trials in our lives as there are some lessons to be learned here. Fri, 13 May 2022 20:33:36

The exiled prophet, Daniel, encountered many things during his lifetime in Babylon as the king’s advisor. In Daniel 4 he called upon to interpret the meaning of a felled tree. What can we learn in this bible study from the mysterious dream the king had? Tue, 06 Sep 2022 16:41:24

This teaching explores what it means to fear the Lord. Far from terror, biblical fear is reverence and awe that motivates obedience. The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom and knowledge. Rather than dreading God, we honor Him, obey His commands and recognize His holiness and authority.

Yeshua warned that false prophets are like wolves in sheep’s clothing. We recognize them by their fruit—what they produce. This teaching examines Matthew 7 and related passages to equip believers to discern wolves, understand their tactics and examine the fruit of teachings.

Leviticus 20:17 uses the word chesed in a context of sexual sin. This teaching shows that chesed, usually translated lovingkindness, can mean shame or disgrace when covenant boundaries are violated. The lesson warns against redefining covenant love and highlights God’s standards for intimate relationships.

This audio sermon argues that without the resurrection, faith is meaningless. It explores the centrality of Yeshua’s resurrection and its implications for our hope and purpose.

The Bible describes the Antichrist as the man of lawlessness. This teaching explores prophecies about the Antichrist, revealing how his heart is characterized by rebellion against God’s commandments and a counterfeit spirit. It examines passages in Daniel, Paul and Revelation to help believers identify and resist the spirit of antichrist.

Many focus on outward obedience but neglect the heart. This teaching looks at Yeshua’s Sermon on the Mount to show that God desires obedience from a transformed heart. It explores issues like anger, lust and hypocrisy, calling us to love God and neighbor from the inside out.

This teaching explores the Hebrew root of the word 'amen'. In Hebrew, amen comes from the verb aman, meaning to be firm, faithful or trustworthy. When we say amen we are affirming that something is true and standing firmly on it. The teaching also addresses claims that 'amen' refers to an Egyptian deity and shows that in Scripture the word simply expresses agreement and trust.

This study examines the Hebrew word for covenant (berit), which derives from a verb meaning to choose the best and to cut. In Scripture, cutting a covenant involves dividing an animal and walking between the pieces, as God did with Abraham in Genesis 15. The teaching explains how biblical covenants create binding relationships and points to the covenants God made with Noah, Abraham and Israel.

In Hebrew the word often translated 'faith' is emunah. This word does not refer to mental belief but to something firm, steady and reliable. Emunah is rooted in the verb aman— to be firm. True biblical faith involves faithfulness and trustworthiness and is demonstrated through our actions.

This teaching uncovers the Hebrew word for grace—chen. Composed of the letters chet and nun, chen conveys the idea of favor or beauty but also separation and protection. It is connected to the root chanan, meaning to encamp or pitch a tent, and thus points to God covering and shielding us. The teaching shows how biblical grace is concrete—God’s favor results in tangible deliverance like Noah and Moses finding chen in God’s eyes.

The term 'Hebrew' (Ivri) comes from the name Eber and literally means 'from the other side'. In Scripture, Abraham is called 'the Hebrew' because he crossed over both physically and spiritually. Being a Hebrew means crossing over from the world to follow God, leaving darkness and walking in light.

Holy in Hebrew is kadosh, meaning to be set apart for a special purpose. God’s people, the Sabbath, His Torah and even the temple implements are all described as kadosh. Holiness is not abstract; it requires separation from common things and walking in God’s instructions.

The Hebrew word often rendered 'convocation' is mikra. Derived from the verb kara, mikra means a call or proclamation. The biblical festivals and the Sabbath are mikra’ei kodesh—holy calls to assemble and to proclaim God’s Torah. This teaching explores how these appointed times invite us to hear and respond to God’s call.

To honor in Hebrew literally means to make heavy or to give weight. When we are commanded to honor our parents, we are told to give weight to their instructions and take them seriously. The teaching connects honor with obedience and notes that if parents instruct against Torah, we must honor God above them.

Repentance in Hebrew is teshuva, from the verb shuv meaning to turn or return. Rather than a momentary feeling, teshuva is a continual return to God’s ways. The teaching shows how repentance is turning back to the original path of obedience, contrasting Greek ideas of repentance (a change of mind) with the Hebrew concept of concrete action.

The Sabbath (shabbat) comes from the Hebrew verb shavat, which means to cease or rest. Scripture teaches that the seventh day is blessed and set apart because God ceased from His work. The Sabbath is a sign of God’s covenant and points to the ultimate rest promised in the age to come.

This teaching explores the Hebrew word ruach, translated as spirit, wind or breath. Ruach refers to an unseen force that causes a visible effect, like the wind causing leaves to move. The word is related to terms meaning to travel a fixed circular route, highlighting the cyclical patterns in creation and the work of God’s Spirit.

The Hebrew word for worship is shachah, meaning to bow down, prostrate oneself or give honor. Worship in Scripture is an action of humbling oneself before God, not merely a feeling or music. The teaching contrasts the Hebrew and Greek words for worship and shows that true worship is expressed through obedience and reverence.

Some teachers divide God’s commandments into ‘moral’ and ‘ceremonial’ laws, suggesting only a subset still applies. This teaching shows that Scripture never divides the Torah in this way. All of God’s commands define sin and are therefore moral. Inventing categories to discard parts of the Law is unscriptural【3546712254178†L20-L65】.

This teaching addresses claims that the 'Law of God' and the 'Law of Moses' are different. It shows from Scripture that Moses delivered God’s law and that there is one unified Torah.

James 2:10 is often used to argue that keeping any part of the law requires keeping all of it. This teaching explains what James meant and shows that obedience to the Torah is still expected of believers.

Yeshua criticised the Pharisees not for keeping the law but for their hypocrisy and for nullifying God’s commandments with their traditions. This teaching exposes how the Pharisees were lawless in that they rejected the weightier matters of the Torah and added burdensome rules.

In Matthew 5:17–19, Yeshua said that those who keep and teach even the least of the commandments will be called great, while those who break them will be called least. This teaching explains who the least, the greatest, and the defiant are.

There has long been a debate about what is meant by the phrase, “The Lord’s Day” in Revelation. Some believe it refers to the sabbath while others believe it shows the sabbath day was changed to Sunday. Join us as we take a look at Sabbath and Sunday in Scripture, exploring some of the most common evidence used to support the Sunday position. Wed, 14 Apr 2021 20:51:48

In Part 1 of The Lord’s Day teaching, we saw that the biblical support for changing the Sabbath observance to Sunday (the Lord’s Day) didn’t hold up. Now, in Part 2, we will examine the Lord's Day looking at the Sabbath and Sunday in history to see what led from the Biblical Sabbath Day observance to be changed over to the more modern The Lord’s Day observance on Sunday. Wed, 14 Apr 2021 20:57:14

In this urgent and sobering message, we examine what it really means to walk the narrow path: a life of obedience, sacrifice, and holiness—not mere belief.

In the parable of the dishonest manager found in Luke 16:1-13, we learn a few lessons such as needing to be shrewd. Some think Scripture is teaching us to be dishonest? Is that true? Beyond the obvious, what else is it that the Messiah is trying to teach us about how we spend our money, time, and other resources?

This extended promo introduces the Pauline Paradox series. It highlights key questions the series answers about Paul’s writings and invites viewers to study along.

In Part 1 of the series, we ask whether the majority view of Paul is correct. It invites viewers to re‑examine traditional interpretations and consider the possibility that mainstream theology misreads Paul.

Part 2 reveals aspects of Paul’s life and ministry often overlooked. It sets the stage for understanding his letters by examining his background, training, and mission.

Part 3 of the Pauline Paradox series explains why Paul’s writings are hard to understand. It highlights cultural context, Pharisaic background, and warnings from Peter not to twist Paul's letters, and encourages letting clear passages interpret ambiguous ones.

Part 5 examines Paul’s letters to the Corinthians to see how he applies the Torah. It explores topics like head coverings, spiritual gifts, and the Lord’s Supper in light of God’s law.

Part 5 of the Pauline Paradox examines Paul’s letter to the Romans. It clarifies his teachings about the law, faith, and righteousness in this foundational epistle.

Many have been told that repeating a simple prayer guarantees salvation. This teaching warns that a 'sinner’s prayer' without genuine faith and repentance offers false assurance. It points to Scripture to show that salvation involves ongoing trust and obedience to Messiah.

This teaching looks at 2 Kings 5 and the story of Naaman’s cleansing. It draws parallels between Naaman’s healing and the restoration of Israel through obedience and faith.

Habakkuk 2:4 contrasts the proud with the righteous who live by faith. This teaching explains that salvation has always been by faith—Paul quotes Habakkuk in Romans 1:17 and Galatians 3:11 to show that no one is justified by works【788847667969350†L54-L63】. Faith means trusting God’s promises and walking humbly rather than relying on our own righteousness【788847667969350†L43-L63】【788847667969350†L65-L80】.

Scripture frequently refers to Yahweh and His Messiah as a rock and cornerstone. This teaching traces these metaphors from the Tanakh to the New Testament, showing how the Messiah is the cornerstone rejected by builders and how we must build our lives on the rock of His words.

We've all been told that the Sabbath is now on Sunday. But how many of us have truly tested that? Have we truly examined the basis of this belief? Or have we just blindly accepted what we have been taught over the years based on the interpretations of man's views of the scriptures that have been passed down through the generations?

What did Luke reveal about the Sabbath in the lives of Yeshua and the apostles? This teaching explores every Sabbath reference in Luke-Acts and shows how early Christians—including Gentile converts—continued to keep the Sabbath holy. Show Notes: This teaching walks through Luke and Acts to demonstrate consistent Sabbath observance by Yeshua, Paul, and other believers. From synagogue customs to Gentile inclusion and the Jerusalem Council, the Scriptures reveal that Sabbath never stopped being part of faithful obedience. Even Acts 20:7 fails to show any transition to Sunday worship. Learn why Luke emphasized the Sabbath and how it applies to followers of Messiah today. Spiritual Takeaway: If the earliest followers of Yeshua honored the Sabbath, shouldn’t we?

This teaching shows that the Sabbath is not only a day of rest but also a day for healing. It highlights Yeshua’s healings on the Sabbath and what they teach about doing good on God’s day.

What does your approach to the Sabbath reveal about your faith? This 119 Audio Sermon issues a bold and loving challenge: are you obeying Yahweh fully, or negotiating obedience for convenience? The Sabbath is not just a rest day—it is a test of the heart. In this powerful message, we examine the heart behind Sabbath observance. Many believers look for loopholes, but Scripture reveals that the Sabbath exposes our faith, trust, and loyalty to Yahweh. Compromising Sabbath obedience is not a small issue—it reveals whether we serve Yahweh or our own comfort. This is not a call to legalism, but to wholehearted faithfulness. From Exodus to Isaiah, and from Daniel to the teachings of Yeshua, we are reminded that true obedience often comes at a cost—but disobedience costs far more. Will you pass the test? Spiritual Takeaway - The Sabbath is more than a command—it is a test of whether we trust Yahweh above all else.

This teaching explores the second commandment, clarifying what it means to not make graven images. It discusses idolatry, art, and how to avoid violating God’s command.

Yeshua’s parable of the ten virgins warns believers to stay prepared for His return. This teaching explains the symbolism of lamps and oil and encourages continual faithfulness and readiness.

According to Scripture, God’s Law serves three functions: it defines sin, blesses obedience, and curses disobedience. It lays out blessings for those who follow God’s commands and warnings for those who reject them (Deuteronomy 11:26–28). Understanding these purposes helps believers appreciate the Law as a guide to righteousness【708932153063287†L14-L21】【708932153063287†L59-L87】.

This teaching explores the ancient threshold covenant, where blood was placed on doorposts. It connects this practice to Passover and the significance of Messiah’s blood on the doorposts of our hearts.

When Yeshua died, the temple veil was torn. But which veil? This study examines historical sources about the Temple’s outer and inner veils and explores what it means that the veil separating the Holy Place was torn. The tearing signaled open access to God through Yeshua and foreshadows our Messiah’s role as High Priest. It does not abolish God’s Law【523491007649234†L11-L37】【523491007649234†L41-L66】.

In John 1, the Word (Logos) was with God and was God and became flesh.

Drawing from Matthew 5:16, this devotional encourages believers to let the light of Messiah shine through their actions. God is the source of our light; by showing compassion, humility, generosity, forgiveness and sharing the gospel, people may glorify the Father【466537710529617†L43-L87】. The teaching challenges viewers to live in a way that points others to God【466537710529617†L90-L96】.

Many believers desire to be in God’s will but passively wait for it to happen. Scripture shows that passivity is appropriate only when submitting to God’s plan—as Jesus did when He suffered without retaliation【7805942714375†L49-L63】. Most of the time, God calls us to act: pray, preach, encourage others, love one another, flee sin and obey His commands【7805942714375†L76-L103】. This teaching urges us to actively align our lives with God’s will instead of merely waiting for it.

This study explores the biblical definition of a day, showing how in Scripture a day begins at sundown and continues until the next evening. Part 1 lays the foundation for understanding biblical time.

Part of the Creator’s Calendar series, this teaching examines the concept of a ‘Lunar Sabbath.’ It uncovers the origins of this theory and compares it with Scripture, showing why the weekly Sabbath is not determined by lunar phases.

There is no little dispute about when the Sabbath day occurs. One of the largest questions is whether or not Saturday is really the correct seventh day and the day that Messiah kept when He was alive. Join us as we look to see if the day of Saturn (Saturday) is the Sabbath or if the Sabbath day was moved to be on Saturn’s day.

Luke 16:16 says, 'The Law and the Prophets were proclaimed until John.' Does this mean God’s law ended? This teaching examines the context to show that Yeshua affirmed the ongoing authority of the Torah until heaven and earth pass away. John the Baptist was the forerunner who prepared the way; he did not signal the end of the law.

A newer theory proposes the question, was the Tabernacle a circle? If the Tabernacle described in Exodus was really a circle but translators have stated it’s a rectangle, what would the implications of that be? In the end, does it even matter? Mon, 17 Feb 2025 20:25:03
