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?
The firstborn has special significance all throughout Scripture. Whether it be the firstborn of people, animals, or agriculture, each plays a role in the Father’s plans. What is the significance of the firstborn? Should we redeem our firstborn even today? What spiritual lessons can we glean from this practice?
What is a man’s authority in marriage? What does it mean for the man to be the head over his wife? How should a husband lead and a wife submit in everyday life?
1 John 2:6 says to walk in the way in which he walked. What does it mean to walk like Christ? What does that look like and what is the context of John’s statement. Some say it refers to the law of Christ, others to the Torah. Which one best fits the context?
In this video, we take a brief look at Hanukkah (or the Feast of Dedication, the Festival of Lights) and its history. Should we celebrate this winter holiday or is just for the Jews? What are we to remember on this day? Why do some suggest that we should not observe Hanukkah?
In this video we set commentary aside, ask over 100 questions, and allow Scripture to answer them.
In this video series we look at the most common things asked and publicly answering your questions for the benefit of everyone to hear and to test themselves. In this presentation we are going to respond to the questions: Can believers eat blue cheese? Did the 10 Commandments come from the 42 laws of Ma’at? Should we make others work on the Sabbath? If someone has never heard of Yeshua when they die, are they still saved? What if I live with someone who doesn’t observe Unleavened Bread? Is birth...
The tallit and the kippah may be seen being worn by those in the Jewish faith. Are they items that Scripture commands us to wear? Can we wear them? Should we? What is their purpose anyway?
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.
In our continued Bible study of 2 Peter, we continue to look at how to confirm your calling. One has only to read 2 Peter chapter 1 about how to be partakers of the divine nature of our Heavenly Father to be set on the right path. Let’s review what that looks like.
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.
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.
James 2:10 is often used to prove that following the Law of God is not for today because if you break one commandment, you’ve broken them all. Is that true? Even if it is, does that mean that we shouldn’t bother trying to obey the Father’s instructions at all because we are bound to fail?
What is the Law of Christ that Paul talks about in Galatians and 1 Corinthians? Is it something new? Is it an expansion on something old? Is it limited only to what is in the New Testament? We look at these options and more as we work on defining what is the law of Christ.
In this portion of our Bible study on the exiled prophet, Daniel, we explore Daniel 6 where Darius the Mede has taken over Babylon. We find out how the Father preserves Daniel’s life, even from the mouths of lions, because he is faith
Continuing our Bible study, we look at Daniel 5, where the exiled prophet reads the writing on the wall. Once again Daniel does what others cannot, and it isn’t good news for King Belshazzar.
What do bread and wine mean in the Bible and what does Yeshua declaring bread and wine to be his body and blood mean for us? What about the fact that the Torah declares we should not drink blood? Is communion anti-Torah?
Some claim that the command to keep the Sabbath is not found in the New Testament. If that’s the case, then we don’t need to honor it at all. But is the claim true? If this is true, does that mean the Father doesn’t want us to rest on the seventh day anymore?
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?
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?
The idea of Caesar’s Messiah, as taught by Joseph Atwill, claims that our Messiah is just a fictional character made up by the New Testament authors. Others claim ancient Rome invented him. We take a brief look at this notion of Caesar’s Messiah and show how easily it’s refuted.
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
Hebrews 8:13 is sometimes used to say the Mosaic Covenant in obsolete. There’s a lot to review to see if that’s true. Could the New Testament have rendered the Old Testament useless and no longer applicable after all?
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.
In this video series we want to look at some of the most common things asked for the benefit of everyone to hear and to test themselves. In this presentation we are going to respond to the questions: Should a believer practice Yoga? How should we apply the concept of having two witnesses? Is the Prosperity Gospel Scriptural? Is being homosexual or bisexual a sin? What is a Believer? What happens if my country doesn’t allow divorce and remarriage? Is someone who follows only Allah a believer? Is ...
Continuing our bible study series, we look at how to confirm your calling as we move into another of Peter’s letters. In this introduction to 2 Peter, we look at just the first two verses, examine the authorship debate for the letter, and get a high-level view of what Peter seems to be telling us.
What does it mean to live according to the flesh? Does it mean following our physical desires? Does it mean something more than that? Is it wrong to experience physical pleasure in this life? Does living according to the spirit mean living a life without pleasure?
In this video series we want to look at the most common things asked and publicly begin answering your questions for the benefit of everyone to hear and to test themselves. In this presentation we are going to respond to the questions: Is eating eggs the same as eating an animal that dies of itself? Does a woman need to sit and sleep in certain places when menstruating? Should we say the prayer to light the candles at Hanukkah? Is kissing before marriage a sin? What prophecy says Messiah would c...
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?
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.
