812 Yeshua: the Sinless Son (Son of Elohim, pt. 8)
April 16, 2024 04:00 - 36 minutes - 24.9 MBIn Scripture, one’s characteristics or behavior shows forth who they belong to. Since Yeshua always did the behavior of his Father, he is the pen-ultimate Son of Elohim. this lesson looks at Yeshua’s perfect, miraculous life.
811 Yahweh Glorifies His Servant Yeshua (Acts 3:11-16)
April 09, 2024 04:00 - 34 minutes - 24 MBOnce the lame man was healed, Peter began to preach another stirring message to his brethren - the men of Israel. He focuses on Yeshua being Yahweh’s servant, and how Yahweh had sent him to them, but they had rejected him.
810 For THIS Reason Yeshua is the Son (Son of Elohim, pt. 7)
April 01, 2024 04:00 - 35 minutes - 24.5 MBAn exegesis of Luke 1:32b-38. I cover how Adam is a photo-type of Yeshua, and how Yeshua must be related (a descendant) of King David. Towards the end I spend time on Miriam’s question (1:34) and Gabriel’s answer (1:35). If we take away Yeshua’s virgin conception, we are taking away part of what makes him the unique Son of Elohim.
809 How Yeshua is Greater than Yochanan (Son of Elohim, pt. 6)
March 25, 2024 04:00 - 34 minutes - 24 MBI begin exegeting Luke 1:26-38 here, and talk about young Miriam’s (Mary’s) situation in life, balancing out Catholic and Protestant “takes” on her. I then focus on Gabriel’s words in Luke 1:32a, that Yeshua would be called the “Son of the Most High.” Towards the end of the lesson I look at how the birth of Yochanan (John) is somewhat parallel with the birth of Yeshua - they were both miracle children.
808 An Overview of the Virgin-Born Son (Son of Elohim, pt. 5)
March 18, 2024 04:00 - 36 minutes - 25.3 MBWhen I began to sit down and write out an exegesis of Luke 1:26-38 my mind and my fingers went in another direction. I felt led to give an overview of the miracle-working power of Yahweh, and encouraging everyone to stay with the text of Scripture no matter where it leads or what the cost. I hope and pray this lesson will be a righteous influence to all who have ears to hear.
807 From Lame to Leaping, pt. 2 (Acts 3:7-10)
March 11, 2024 04:00 - 42 minutes - 29.6 MBThis lesson delves into deceptive healings, centering in on Matthew 7:21-23, and then goes on to show what a genuine healing looks like. The meaning of “the name of Yeshua” is covered, and the significance of the timing of a lame man being able to stand up and praise/pray is touched on. What a wonderful account this is!
806 Yeshua: the Unique Son of Elohim (Son of Elohim, pt. 4)
March 02, 2024 05:00 - 33 minutes - 23.4 MBI begin to move into explaining how Yeshua is the Son of Elohim by looking at the famous John 3:16 passage. It’s one that if not careful can become common to the ear in a way that makes us feel we need to “move on” from it. Towards the end of the sermon I deal with some technicalities on the Greek word monogenes.
805 David and Solomon: Sons of Elohim (Son of Elohim, pt. 3)
February 24, 2024 05:00 - 31 minutes - 21.4 MBHere’s look at the concept of the enthroned King of Israel being the son of Elohim. Psalm 2, 2 Samuel 7, 1 Chronicles 22, and 1 Chronicles 29 are all touched on. I also look at how the Hebrew word mashiyach (messiah) is used of individuals other than Yeshua of Nazareth.
804 Angels: the Sons of Elohim (Son of Elohim, pt. 2)
February 21, 2024 05:00 - 40 minutes - 27.6 MBThere are heavenly, spirit beings that existed alongside Yahweh when He created the earth. We know them as angels, but they can equally be called messengers as well as sons of the Almighty. Listen to learn about the principle of agency as well as the guardians of sacred space. At the end I talk about how Yahweh loves us and sends His heavenly messengers to watch over us.
803 From Lame to Leaping, pt. 1 (Acts 3:1-6)
February 14, 2024 05:00 - 40 minutes - 28.1 MBNow apostles Peter and John go up to the Temple at the normal hour of prayer and end up healing a man who had been lame for over 40 years. What was the hour of prayer, and why were the apostles still participating in the Temple services? This lesson covers much about the professed “faith healers” of our day, and contrasts what we see men claiming vs. the actual gift of healing that was given to Yeshua’s apostles.
802 Adam: the Son of Elohim (Son of Elohim, pt. 1)
February 07, 2024 05:00 - 32 minutes - 22.6 MBI’m taking a brief pause on my series through the Book of the Law (in Exodus) to discuss something that’s been going through my mind for a couple years. What does Scripture mean when it calls Yeshua the Son of Elohim? I cover some preliminary points here, and then move to looking at one of Elohim’s sons back in Genesis.
801 Parameters for Helping Widows (Ex. 22:22-24; 1 Tim. 5:3-16)
January 21, 2024 05:00 - 36 minutes - 24.9 MBYahweh’s Torah requires us to help widows and not mistreat them, but as we continue to read through Scripture we are given an outline on discerning who to help, how to help, and what kind of help to give. Yahweh’s people are not required to fund wickedness, and in times where we are required to help someone, the responsibility falls first on the immediate family.
800 Living a Holy, Simple Life (Acts 2:43-47)
January 14, 2024 05:00 - 44 minutes - 30.3 MBIn the first century, there was a sect in Judaism known as “The Way.” They had a great impact on all their on-lookers because they chose to live piously, with thankfulness and in simplicity. This lesson encourages us to look back on their example so that we too may have an impact on those who see us today.
799 Helping Widows and Orphans (Ex. 22:22-24; Deut. 14:28-29)
January 04, 2024 05:00 - 33 minutes - 23.1 MBHere we walk through Scripture looking at the highlight texts that teach us one of the greatest of the commandments. In a nutshell, do not neglect widows and orphans. For anyone claiming to be Torah observant, this has got to be part of what you are regularly practicing.
798 Israelites, Ranking, Salvation, and Foreigners (Ex. 22:21; Isa. 56:1-8)
December 28, 2023 05:00 - 33 minutes - 23 MBPositions and Rank are not the same as the forgiveness of sins and salvation. There is still such a thing as the special treasure of physical Israel, but there is also such a thing as a non-Israelite who joins the nation of Israel to serve Yahweh. I also talk about the definition and standing of the eunuch among Israel.
797 Loving the Foreign Resident (Ex. 22:21; Lev. 19:33-34)
December 21, 2023 05:00 - 40 minutes - 27.6 MBIf we catalog all the times Yahweh commands Israel to love and take care of the foreigner, widow, orphan, and poor person, it far outweighs any other commandment given in Torah. Some specifics of the Hebrew word ger are covered, and then I take the time to talk about when a person comes to Yahweh, He does not look at their background, last name, or ethnicity, He looks at their heart and mind.
796 Devotion to the Apostle’s Teaching (Acts 2:39-42)
December 14, 2023 05:00 - 33 minutes - 23.3 MBAfter Peter’s sermon on the Day of Pentecost, 3,000 people were baptized, but they didn’t join the local, Christian church. Listen to learn about the promise given here and what exactly happened for these devout Jews that day. It’s important that the Messianic assemblies today do their best to mirror that early first century faith.
795 Is Obedience Always Better than Sacrifice? (Ex. 22:20; 1 Sam. 15:22)
December 05, 2023 05:00 - 36 minutes - 24.8 MBWhenever someone hears me talk about animal sacrifices (or reads something I’ve written), there’s almost always a few people who clap back with “Obedience is better than sacrifice!” Where do they get that from? Can that statement be substantiated from Holy Scripture?
794 Animal Sacrifices: the Way to Worship Yahweh (Ex. 22:20)
November 28, 2023 05:00 - 35 minutes - 24.7 MBI never really paid attention to this verse until going through the Book of the Law meticulously. We should always slow down and read each verse carefully, only then will we see the intent Yahweh brings across. Animal sacrifices are often vilified by Christians today. This verse (and many others) shows that full worship to Yahweh is not accomplished apart from animal sacrifices.
793 Bestiality was a Canaanite Practice (Ex. 22:19; Lev. 20:15-16)
November 21, 2023 05:00 - 38 minutes - 26.2 MBLet’s take a look into why there’s even a law against bestiality in the Torah - not one time but in four different places. This is not something I would choose to teach on, but I teach verse-by-verse and I’m not going to leave anything out.
792 What Must We Do? (Acts 2:37-38)
November 14, 2023 05:00 - 38 minutes - 26.5 MBAt the end of Peter’s “Pentecost Sermon” many of his fellow Israelites are pricked in their heart and thus convicted about what they did to Yeshua of Nazareth. They asked the question, “What must we do?” This lesson gives an overview of Peter’s instructions for their forgiveness, and the gift they’d be given.
791 Did a Witch Call Samuel from the Dead? (Ex. 22:18; 1 Sam. 28)
November 05, 2023 04:00 - 35 minutes - 24.1 MBWhat really happened when Saul visited the Witch of Endor? There have been various interpretations on this passage throughout history. I ask that we just slow down and read the text, and then we can branch out to a couple of additional texts that speak to the matter.
790 Inquiring of Yahweh by the URIM (Ex. 22:18; 1 Sam. 28:1-7)
October 29, 2023 04:00 - 44 minutes - 30.4 MBIn 1 Samuel 28 we have a contrast: inquiring of Yahweh by way of a dream, prophet, or the Urim vs. going to talk to a witch. The choice is still yours. Do you rely on and trust Yahweh for answers to life, or are you searching in other areas?
789 What is Sorcery and Witchcraft? (Ex. 22:18)
October 22, 2023 04:00 - 32 minutes - 22 MBSorcery, witchcraft, fortune-telling, mediums, and necromancies oh my! Listen to learn about all of this plus how signs, wonders, and miracles from Yahweh through a prophet are similar yet juxtaposed to these occult practices. No “happy Halloween” here for sure. Stay with Yah’s Torah.
788 Atheists See the Creator through Biblical Cosmology
October 18, 2023 04:00 - 58 minutes - 40.6 MBI had four brothers join me for a discussion about their turning from atheism to theism due to the study of the Biblical Creation Model. Atheism is an area somewhat foreign to me; I’ve looked at it from the outside in, but because I grew up in a conservative, Christian home I don’t know what it “feels” like. These brothers helped me understand a bit and what a joy it was to listen to their testimonies of deliverance!
787 Yeshua is the Lord of David (Acts 2:32-36)
October 14, 2023 04:00 - 29 minutes - 20.6 MBPeter has already pulled from Psalm 16 in his sermon, but he now pulls from another Psalm, and lo and behold it’s one in which there are two Lords! One is Yahweh, and the other is the Master of King David. Listen to learn about the appointed and anointed Messiah and Lord, Yeshua of Nazareth.
786 Do You Really Love Your Neighbor? (1 John 2:9-11)
October 07, 2023 04:00 - 26 minutes - 18.5 MBThis was the concluding sermon to our Feast of Tabernacles 2023 - a call for us to love our brothers and sisters. Do you really love your neighbor? If you don’t then you do not have salvation. This is a call to be introspective.
785 Strive Not to Sin, but Be Humble (1 John 2:1-8)
September 30, 2023 04:00 - 28 minutes - 19.7 MBYou CAN live a righteous life; Yahweh is an encourager of that to you. Each day you live should be one in which you consciously make a decision to do the right things. It’s time to let go of the false doctrine that our righteous deeds are filthy rags. At the same time, a righteous person acknowledges they still need repaired. Humility admits and confesses sins we are still trying to break free from. In the middle of this lesson I touch on the word propitiation, and look at the idea of Penal ...
784 The Blood of Yeshua Cleanses Us (1 John 1:5-10)
September 25, 2023 04:00 - 30 minutes - 20.9 MBThere are some people who profess Christ that are liars, so says the Apostle John. What makes someone a liar? This lesson covers some thoughts on how exactly the blood of Yeshua cleanses us from sin, and encourages us to give love back to Yahweh who loved us first.
783 Fellowship with Yahweh and Yeshua (1 John 1:1-4)
September 23, 2023 04:00 - 33 minutes - 23.2 MBI share how 1 John 1:1 correlates with Genesis 1:1 and John 1:1, and what the word of Elohim is. Towards the end of the lesson I discuss how my fellowship with Yahweh and Yeshua blossomed when I realized they were really Father and Son.
782 Does David Fit the Bill? (Acts 2:24-31)
September 16, 2023 04:00 - 41 minutes - 28.6 MBYahweh raised Yeshua from the dead, and it was prophesied to happen before hand by King David. But where did David speak about it?
781 How Well Do You Know Scripture?
September 07, 2023 04:00 - 31 minutes - 21.8 MBWe are actually commanded in Scripture to memorize the Torah. Have you hidden Yah’s word in your heart? How are you spending your time?
780 Shekels, Youth, and the Fire of Love (Ex. 22:17b)
August 26, 2023 04:00 - 37 minutes - 26.1 MBWhat is a shekel? I cover the amount in silver required for a bride-price in the case of enticement, and then I make some final remarks on dealing with young adults realistically. I also encourage married couples to keep the fire of love burning.
779 The MAN Yeshua of Nazareth (Acts 2:22-23)
August 24, 2023 04:00 - 44 minutes - 30.6 MBYeshua is a man. How does that make you feel? This sermon centers in on the first words from Apostle Peter after he finishes quoting prophet Yo’el. Yahweh performed His greatest of all works through a man from Nazareth, and we must believe in this man whom He hath sent.
778 Must a Woman Marry her Rapist? (Ex. 22:16-17; Deut. 22:28-29)
August 08, 2023 04:00 - 41 minutes - 28.3 MBAn objection I’ve heard given by both atheists and liberal Christians is that the God of the Old Testament required a woman to marry her rapist. I answer that objection in detail here, focusing in on an exceptional footnote in the NET Bible.
777 A Father’s Loving Authority (Ex. 22:16b-17a)
August 01, 2023 04:00 - 31 minutes - 21.5 MBScripturally, a young man is not allowed to marry a young woman if the girl’s Yah-fearing father refuses. This lesson speaks to (1) the bride-price, (2) parenting carefully, and (3) the weightier matters of Torah.
776 Taking an Unbetrothed Maiden (Ex. 22:16a)
July 25, 2023 04:00 - 42 minutes - 29.2 MBI cover three key words: entice, virgin, and betrothal. We being looking at and unpacking the intricacies of this law concerning seduction.
775 Understanding Joel’s Prophecy, Pt. 3 (Acts 2:21)
July 17, 2023 04:00 - 56 minutes - 38.6 MBThe backdrop of the death of Yeshua is covered, as well as some eschatological points from the Olivet Discourse. What does it mean to “call on the name of Yahweh”? The curses of Deuteronomy 28 are also covered, and a shocking realization from Josephus’ recorded history is read.
774 What Marriage is All About (Ex. 22:16-17; Gen. 24)
July 10, 2023 04:00 - 47 minutes - 32.6 MBI cover some preliminary thoughts I’ve had while studying Exodus 22:16-17, namely that a good marriage is key, a woman is a gift to man, daughters are to be given not taken, and intimacy is designed for covenant relationship. I also read and hit some highlights in Genesis 24, ending with a warning to both men and women in the Torah community.
773 Be a Responsible Neighbor (Ex. 22:10-15)
July 03, 2023 04:00 - 34 minutes - 23.5 MBWhy is there a difference between keeping (guarding) someone’s money and keeping someone’s animal? What’s the big deal about taking an oath before Yahweh? If you borrow your neighbor’s chainsaw and it breaks, do you have to replace the chainsaw? These questions and more are covered in this lesson, and I end with an important admonition about all or nothing.
772 Pay Back Your Best (Ex. 22:5-9)
June 26, 2023 04:00 - 36 minutes - 25.4 MBWe must respect our neighbor’s property, even to the point of making restitution when we caused something to happen unintentionally. Here I cover more on restitution, the concept of property rights, how to handle paying back a person you’ve hurt, and trust having to be earned.
771 Understanding Joel’s Prophecy, Pt. 2 (Acts 2:19-20)
June 19, 2023 04:00 - 44 minutes - 30.8 MBWere there wonders and signs in heaven and on earth during Yeshua and his apostles ministries? How could the sun have been darkened and the moon turn to blood in the first century? And what about the “Day of Yahweh” or “Day of the Lord”? Is that day yet future, or is it somehow past? These topics and more are covered.
770 I’m Tired of Bad Preaching (Ex. 22:5-15 Intro Sermon)
June 10, 2023 04:00 - 43 minutes - 30.3 MBI sat down to begin writing my sermons on Exodus 22:5-15 and I ended up writing 5 pages of intro material. I pray it’s a blessing to you.
769 Is Forceful Self-Defense Wrong? (Ex. 22:2-3a)
June 03, 2023 04:00 - 33 minutes - 23.3 MBSome in Christianity have taken a position of total, complete pacifism. Based upon this text in Exodus (and a few others) I believe they are incorrect. At the same time we must consider the balance found in religious persecution. Listen to learn about some intricate details in the book of instruction and how they apply to our modern lives.
768 Stealing a Man’s Work Truck (Ex. 22:1, 3b, 4)
May 27, 2023 04:00 - 29 minutes - 20.2 MBWe begin a new chapter in our journey through Torah here and look at some particulars in regards to theft and restitution. Why is double restitution required sometimes but five-fold restitution required at other times? I also cover narrative examples of restitution from the mouth of King David and Zaccai.
767 Be Responsible for Your Animals (Ex. 21:33-36)
May 12, 2023 04:00 - 27 minutes - 19.1 MBThe laws pertaining to responsibility and/or negligence do not just apply when a human being is injured or killed, but also when an animal is injured or killed. Domestic animals are their owner’s responsibility. In the last half of this lesson I give a brief refresher course on why we spend time studying the Book of the Law.
767 The Ox that Gores (Ex. 21:28-32)
May 05, 2023 04:00 - 33 minutes - 23 MBDoes Exodus 21:28-32 apply to you if you don’t own an ox? Maybe it only applies if someone you know personally owns an ox? Listen to learn about the necessity of Yahweh’s law, and the importance of us not being negligent.
766 An Eye for An Eye is Just (Ex. 21:24-25)
April 28, 2023 04:00 - 31 minutes - 21.6 MBOn the heels of the Law concerning striking a pregnant woman comes a judgment clause about “eye for eye.” Is this barbaric and outdated? Have you ever thought deeper about what it could mean? Listen to learn of the just judgments of Yahweh, and also how Yeshua did not abandon Exodus 21:24-25 when he cited Matthew 5:38-42.
765 Understanding Joel’s Prophecy, Pt. 1 (Acts 2:17-18)
April 21, 2023 04:00 - 38 minutes - 26.3 MBThis lesson begins to take a look at Apostle Peter’s quotation from the prophet Yo’el (Joel) in regards to the last days. Why did Peter add the phrase “the last days” to Joel’s text?
764 Is the Criminal on the Cross a Model for our Salvation?
April 12, 2023 04:00 - 42 minutes - 29.5 MBSermon pulls from Luke 23:32-43. I respond to a popular clip I’ve seen a lot of lately from Alistair Begg. Should we look to our works at all as a part of our salvation? Is justification by faith alone the apostolic teaching?
