Forty Days of Repentance
We are quickly coming into the time of year when things begin to change. Although the weather tells us that it is definitely still summer, there are subtle changes in the air which signal something to come. It's a transitional period. Of course, the exact timing of these shifts may vary from year to year. However, one thing that remains annually consistent is the beginning of the Fall Feasts and the countdown to the Day of Atonement.
The Feast of Tabernacles
Each of the sections of this teaching are hung as a separate poster on the walls of our educational sukkah during the Feast of Tabernacles, and provide information on what the symbolism of Sukkot means for believers.
Ten Interesting Facts About the High Holy Days
Interesting facts about the holiday of Rosh Hashanah and the High Holy Days.
Ten Reasons for Blowing Trumpets
There are ten days between the Feast of Trumpets and the Day of Atonement. These ten days are considered the holiest time of the year. During these ten days, you blow the shofar (a trumpet made of a ram's horn) and give a reason for blowing it. We are going to look at why these ten reasons are important in the life of a believer and how important it is to be prepared.
An Apostolic Reading of Esther
It is traditional to read the book of Esther on Purim. In this article we want to tell the story with a new twist. We want to look at this story with an Apostolic flair.
Tis the Season to Hear His Voice
In this article, we look at the holiday season and see how it is all connected and how we are to relate to it as believers in Messiah.
“Lord, Don’t You Care That We Perish?”—Thoughts on the Coronavirus
Today the world has become so uncertain. We have no idea what tomorrow will bring. Fear has gripped our souls. Well, we are not alone, for even the disciples of Yeshua felt that way. Let's take a closer look at this story.
Spiritual War
Many people do not know about spiritual warfare, or they do not know how to engage in spiritual warfare. Yet, it is very important that we do understand it. Yeshua has given those who believe in Him the victory over the enemy if we are willing to stand up and fight. This teaching will be a template you can use as a prayer guide in your own spiritual warfare.
Social Justice
In this teaching we want to address "social justice." Micah 6:8 tells us, "He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?" We see that God wants us to do justice, but is that the same as "social justice" that we hear about today?
Paul, Part 1: Who Was Paul?
Paul is the number one person who people quote when talking about Christianity. This is likely due to the fact that nearly half of the New Testament is attributed to his authorship. Although this is the case, Paul is probably the most misunderstood figure in the Scriptures. Even his own contemporaries found his words sometimes difficult to understand (2 Peter 3:15-18). Today, in addition to this we have the obstacle of time which separates us from him. For this reason it is essential that we understand who Paul was so we can understand his teachings.
Paul, Part 2: Jerusalem Council
The Jerusalem council recorded in Acts 15 is a crucial moment in the history of Christianity. Unfortunately, this passage is generally misunderstood. Most people today believe the decision made here by the council declares that Gentiles should not follow the Torah. We are going to go through this chapter to find out if this is correct.
Paul, Part 3: Justification
The main theme of Romans is the justification of sinners. Justification is the way in which God accepts a sinful human being and sets them in a place of right-standing through Yeshua. The relationship between justification, faith, and following the Torah (God's commands) is sometimes misunderstood, so let's look at Romans and see what Paul is really saying.
Paul, Part 4: Dead to the Law
We, as believers in Yeshua (Jesus), have died to the Torah (Law, God's commandments). This is the way Paul describes us as well as all of those who accept the sacrifice of Yeshua on their behalf. What has been a subject of confusion, however, is what exactly this means and what it looks like to effectively live our lives as dead to the Torah. In this brochure, we will examine the context surrounding Paul's use of this phrase to get a good idea what it means and what its implications are for believers.
Paul, Part 5: Grafted In
Paul's words in his epistles have led to some confusion among believers about the place that we as Gentiles have in relation to Israel. Most people today don't realize how intricately Christianity was interwoven within Judaism at its beginning. Looking at Christianity and Judaism, one would never guess that Christianity was initially a sect within Judaism. Let's take a look at Paul's words to see what we can find out about the relationship between God, Israel, and the church.
Paul, Part 6: Matters of Conscience
Some passages in the writings of Paul, such as Romans 14, have been largely used by some who say that these passages permit believers to violate the Biblical dietary laws and Sabbath. Many believe that these are now only matters of conscience and that we are free to either accept or reject them for our own lives, with the preference being toward rejection. We will take a deeper look at this chapter and a few other similar passages throughout Scripture to see if we can find out what Paul was actually saying.
Paul, Part 7: Living Like the Gentiles
In Galatians 2:11-21, we see a little bit of drama between Paul and Peter. There are some parts of this passage that, if not properly understood, could lead to some faulty beliefs. Let's take a closer look.
Paul, Part 8: Purpose of the Law
Paul uses several illustrations to teach his readers about the intent or the purpose of the Torah (Law) in the book of Galatians. Let's go through this and see what Paul is trying to tell us.
Paul, Part 9: Paul’s Trials
As Paul spread the good news around the known world, he experienced the joy of fellowship as well as the bitterness of persecution. We can learn a lot about Paul by examining the stories surrounding his trials and his testimonies before the religious and secular ruling bodies, from Jerusalem to Rome.
