When we read the Bible, we learn about God, about his people, history, the Messiah, and what to expect at the end. The problems arise when we don’t interpret from what we read, but instead make up our own minds what we want the Bible to say, then go fishing
One of the two most important commandments that Yeshua (Jesus) told us to obey is to love the Lord, our God, with all our heart, soul, and might. But I wonder how many of us feel that way when we pray, or just repeat what someone else wrote because we
There are two places in the Torah, both in the Book of Deuteronomy, where God says that we are not to treat him the way the pagans treat their gods. But in the Book of Leviticus, the first 7 chapters are dedicated to tell us how to do the things
I am sure you have been told, more than once, that you are saved by faith. I am here to tell you that faith isn’t what saves you, although it is a requirement. If you prefer to watch a video, click on this link: Watch the video. We should begin
I have heard, as I’ll bet some of you have, too, people ask how could a perfect God make such imperfect beings as we humans? Well, he did, and he did it for a reason. If you prefer to watch a video, click on this link: Watch the video. The
You might be thinking that with all the Bibles in existence today, and the billions of people who read it, how is it possible that God’s word cannot be sent out? If you prefer to watch a video, click on this link: Watch the video. Well, the answer is simple:
What is worship? Some will say it is attending services at their synagogue or church; some will say it is praying to God; and some might say it is believing in God and that Yeshua is his Messiah. And yeah, it is all of those things; but in my opinion,
In his second letter written to believers, Kefa (Peter) warned against something that I believe the early Gentile leaders (of what was becoming Christianity) failed to listen to.   If you prefer to watch a video, click on this link: Watch the video.   So, nu? What was this warning? It
I recently posted about Christmas (this lesson is NOT about Christmas, so don’t even start on that) and a response I received from many people made me realize that there seems to be confusion about something in the Book of Deuteronomy. If you prefer to watch a video, click on
We all know we are saved by faith, and we also all (should) know that faith without works is dead, so how do we actually walk in faith? If you prefer to watch a video, click on this link: Watch the video. First off, let’s all understand one very important
When we pray to God we expect that he hears our prayers, and in doing so will answer us. But with so many people praying so often, and with so many prayer requests for so many different things, does God have to review and assign priority to the prayers he
When we read the letter Shaul wrote to the Galatian Believers, in Chapter 4 he mentions how the Torah acted as a guardian over children, but now that we are one with Yeshua we are no longer children under a guardian, but heirs to God’s kingdom. My question is this:
In Galatians 3:28, we are told that we are all one with Yeshua. Now, since many believe that Yeshua is God, if we are one with Yeshua then are we also God? If you prefer to watch a video, click on this link: Watch the video. Before you try to
There are many who believe in reincarnation, which is different from resurrection: with the former, you get to come back and try to do it better, but with the latter you only get one chance to make it. If you prefer to watch a video, click on this link: Watch
Prayer is such an essential part of our relationship with God. Unlike using Facebook or Messenger, which are really very impersonal forms of communications, having as much intimacy as a corporate memo, prayer is a very intimate sharing. If you prefer to watch a video, click on this link: Watch
What is a “gospel”? According to a few different dictionary definitions I looked up, it is anything from the revelation of Christ to the first 4 books of the New Covenant, to just being a good story. I have also heard people use the word “gospel” as referring to something
Do you know anyone whose kids are real brats? Undisciplined, disrespectful of anyone else, and noisy? Have you also noticed how the parents of those kids are so loving and understanding, never punishing them or even telling them they are acting badly? Now, how many people do you know who
First off, before we do anything else, let me wish you all a very joyous New Year. However, to put it in perspective, let me also remind you that Rosh HaShanah is a man-made holiday; this is not a biblical new year. At some time in the past, the Rabbis
Last time we were together I spoke about what we need to have faith in, and now we need to understand the other side of that argument- which faith is useless, maybe even deadly. If you prefer to watch a video, click on this link: Watch the video. I am
