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.
Freedom of speech in the Bible is not as free as some may think. Peter and Paul both share wisdom as to what can, or should be said. Your words matter to YHWH.
Some claim that Christ abolished the Law of Moses. Is that how we are to understand Paul’s words in Ephesians 2:15? Is the Law of Moses a dividing wall of hostility? If not, what is Paul referring to when he says the “law of commandments expressed in ordinances”?

Zechariah, a minor prophet with a major message, reminds us that YHWH has remembered his people and his promises. The question for us is whether or not we will live like the kingdom of heaven is here, or if we will live as people of the world, who are not his people? YHWH has remembered, but do we?
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.
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?

What wisdom can be gleaned from proverbs that almost seem counterintuitive?
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.

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?
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?
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.
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.
