* This originally aired as a video episode on Youtube HERE . This short series gets underway with Hebrews chapter 11's depiction of Abraham. Are the series of his life revealing a pattern for us, today? Are we missing the importance of "coming out" of the ways of the nations, as he did? Let's find out! * Bad audio quality in this one. It is fixed in upcoming parts.
* This originally aired as a video episode on Youtube HERE . The series comes to a conclusion as we apply biblical warnings to receiving "another Gospel". We also examine the accounts of what took place when people discovered Yeshua's revealing of why He came, in fullness. A falling away, a stumbling, an offense has come and will continue to. What we will do when it comes to us? Let's find out!
* This originally aired as a video episode on Youtube HERE . In this part we move into Yeshua's words in Luke chapter 4. Here we see a marked "day" where He revealed Himself, in the synagogue, and made it clear that He was committed to Father's plan. Offense came. A "falling away" began as His hearers could not rightly receive His exposed purpose (who He came for). How is this relevant to us, today? Let's find out! (We'll also look into Matthew 13, John 15&16, Luke 7, Acts 22, 1 Timothy 6 &a...
* This originally aired as a video episode on Youtube HERE . After we see the Scriptures in Part 1 instructing us to "obey" the Gospel, we look into Yeshua telling us to "believe" the Gospel. Also, we'll discuss how Yeshua told all of His disciples that they would fall away/stumble/be offended because of Him. What does this mean for us today and how is it relevant to this topic specifically? How will we respond if Messiah is not Who *we* think that He should be? Let's find out!...
* This originally aired as a video episode on Youtube HERE . The series begins by presenting us with a question - is it at least POSSIBLE that we have not known the FULL Gospel that the Scripture reveals from cover to cover? Then, we move into the Scriptural evidence that informs us that the Gospel can be "obeyed" and "disobeyed." We must admit that, according to Scripture, the Gospel is far more than the Cross.
* This originally aired as a video episode on Youtube HERE . The conclusion of this series starts off in Ephesians chapter 4 with yet another challenge to leave the ways of the nations. I present that our responsibility as a royal priesthood and a kingdom of priests is to spend our days becoming Holy as Father is holy. We conclude with Deuteronomy 7, Exodus 19, Yeshua in Matthew 13 and 1 Peter chapters 1 and 2.
* This originally aired as a video episode on Youtube HERE . This installment looks into Romans 6, 2 Corinthians 7, 1 Thessalonians 4 and Colossians chapter 1 to further the point the New Testament would also lead us to believe that we must pursue holiness in order to be found as Yahweh's possession.
* This originally aired as a video episode on Youtube HERE . The series continues as we move into presenting how biblical accounts reveal a pattern of Yahweh's set apart People being marked - holy, separate. We will use the Passover account as an example. We will also look into 1 Peter 1, Philippians 3 and Genesis chapter 15. Does holiness matter today? Let's find out!
* This originally aired as a video episode on Youtube HERE . In this episode I assert that Yeshua's "Parable of the Talents" reveals our errant view of our Master, Yahweh. I submit that because we have seen Him as "hard, harsh and violent," we have not rightly known Him and thereby have missed the invitation to be holy as He is holy. We'll also discuss Deuteronomy 6, Revelation 9 and 13 to see what is for those who have Yahweh's mark on their hands and foreheads....
* This originally aired as a video episode on Youtube HERE . The series gets underway with laying a groundwork of properly understanding the biblical definition of "holiness." We begin with Yahweh revealing Himself to Moses by telling him that he was standing on "holy ground." What did that mean and how does this relate to us today? Let's begin!
* This originally aired as a video episode on Youtube HERE . Do you daily walk in an awareness of Father's boundless mercy towards you? I don't, but I want to. Psalm 103 tells us that "He has not dealt with us according to our sin." What does this mean and how should we respond? Let's find out.
* This originally aired as a video episode on Youtube HERE . In this episode we briefly discuss the true role and function of a prophet of Yahweh, and then we read the entire Book of Micah. Micah, specifically, fulfilled his calling by being a much-needed voice of warning, correction and the goodness of Yahweh to those who would heed His instruction. We will point out two key elements of this Book: Judgment and Restoration. Do any of these warnings apply to us today? Let's find out! * We apologi...
* This originally aired as a video episode on Youtube HERE . The series concludes as we are challenged to examine what Paul meant when he said that "all in Messiah are to speak the same thing" and thereby "with one voice glorify Yahweh". What if we have misinterpreted what he meant? How does the Body function as disagreement comes? Is unity even attainable in our age? Let us find out!
* This originally aired as a video episode on Youtube HERE . In this part we look into what unfolded with Abram and Lot when they could not dwell together, as strife came. I present that I feel we've been guilty of being "individual living stones" (separation/isolation) or "piles of living stones" (divisions) instead of dwelling together in unity, fitly framed into a dwelling for Yahweh. So what do we do then? Let's find out.
* This originally aired as a video episode on Youtube HERE . After establishing our proper understanding of what we do as "living stones," we move into Yeshua's words as His earthly life was nearing its end. He asked Father to make us "one as He and Father are one." Then we move into Psalm 133 which tells us that unity of the Brethren is "good, agreeable and beautiful." Are we in the Church experiencing this today as We should be?
* This originally aired as a video episode on Youtube HERE . Part 1 starts with establishing a biblical understanding of "one." We'll examine the proper understanding of "living stones" that Peter mentions in 1 Peter chapter 2. What does it mean to be "built together into a spiritual house"? Let's get started!
* This originally aired as a video episode on Youtube HERE . The series comes to a conclusion as we see Leviticus 19 tell us to be holy as Yahweh is holy. How do we do this? We stop following the ways of the nations (worldly traditions) and embark into keeping His Feasts (His set apart/holy Days). Christmas holiday traditions have been a successful imposter of Father's ways. After all that we have discussed in this series, which will you choose?...
* This originally aired as a video episode on Youtube HERE . When Christian leaders are willing to admit that when you remove the endless pagan origins of Christianity's festivals/holidays, you have little left to celebrate, they are right. So what then? Do we just join the ways of the nations? No! The series moves into examining the Feasts of the LORD that appear in Leviticus 23 and then we move into the proper understanding of holy and profane and what Yahweh says when His People turn away fro...
* This originally aired as a video episode on Youtube HERE . In this part we jump into the principles found within biblical texts such as Jeremiah chapter 10 and Deuteronomy 18. God's set apart People are instructed to abandon the ways of the nations. This clearly includes the avoidance of adopting their idolatry-laced traditions. Although many people say that we can simply "redeem pagan holidays for God", do we *ever* see that in the Scriptures? Let's find out....
* This originally aired as a video episode on Youtube HERE . Part 3 continues with presenting a bit more of American Christmas history. We'll look into how culture shaped Christianity's embracing of the holiday that was originally considered idolatrous by 1600's-era American Believers. What changed? Let's find out.
* This originally aired as a video episode on Youtube HERE . In this episode I read a short, fictional story that I wrote that explains Father's heart as His children have traded in His appointed Times for their own traditions. Also, we begin to examine some historical facts of the true origins of Christmas, for those who do not know.
* This originally aired as a video episode on Youtube HERE . This 6-part series begins with laying a groundwork of asking a series of questions, such as can we pick and choose what is pleasing to the LORD? Do we have the right to brand something good and godly, even if the origins never were? Is it acceptable in God's sight for the Church to exchange His Feasts and ordained celebrations in order to celebrate our own traditions? Let's leave our prejudices and preferences at the door and find out!...
* This originally aired as a video episode on Youtube HERE . The short series concludes as we continue to peer into Proverbs' Lady Wisdom. We drive home the point that Wisdom preexisted all of Creation and thereby knows Father's perfect order and plan. This is fascinating as we realize "She" is offering us the counsel of Yahweh still today!
* This originally aired as a video episode on Youtube HERE . Part 1 lays a brief foundation of "who" Lady Wisdom is, when She was created and what She is presenting to us. Using Proverbs we'll establish how this ancient one is calling out to us today.
* This originally aired as a video episode on Youtube HERE . In this hour of testing, it is of UTMOST IMPORTANCE that we cling to what the Word of Yah teaches us in regards to faith. Will we be moved by what our eyes see or will we stand, unwavering? Let's find out!
When was the last time that you sought out counsel from another? How did you respond the last time someone brought something to you that you disagreed with? In this episode we will discuss Proverbs 12:15 which tells us that "Fools suppose their way is straight, but the wise pay attention to counsel." * This was recorded in my truck, while driving to work, so please keep that in mind in regards to audio quality.
* This originally aired as a video episode on Youtube HERE . The series concludes as we see one way to afflict ourselves is to willingly humble ourselves in the sight of men, like we see with Job and David. We are now rehearsing for a literal age and kingdom that is before us. It will require all in attendance to be laid low, afflicted and humbled. What a privilege to do this *now* as we eagerly await the arrival of our King!
* This originally aired as a video episode on Youtube HERE . This part of the series moves into the two primary things that Day of Atonement is biblically-defined as being about, when we continue to look into the command of "afflicting/humbling" ourselves. Why does the Day fall *between* Yom Teruah (Trumpets) and Sukkot (Tabernacles)? I believe we've found an answer. Also, we'll see how Yeshua continued the same theme throughout His teachings....
* This originally aired as a video episode on Youtube HERE . The series starts off with biblically distinguishing between "afflicting" and "fasting." Is there more to Day Of Atonement than what we eat or don't eat? If so, what is the biblical pattern of "afflicting" oneself?
* This originally aired as a video episode on Youtube HERE In between Zechariah chapters 7 and 8, we see Yahweh seemingly have a change of heart towards His rebellious, hard-hearted People. Why? Let's find out and learn more about Who He is.
