This lesson deals with all the crazy stuff that happens in the everyday life of a human. Yahweh's path isn't always a walk through the park. Sometimes we go through the valley of the shadow of death. The main thing is that we keep the faith. We must run the race until we cross our finish line. Don't give up. Keep on keeping on.

She's been called the mystery woman by some historians. Who was Mary Magdalene? Was she the wife of the Lord? Did she engage in prostitution? Listen to learn of the portrait that Holy Scripture paints for us for this woman, and be amazed in the way that Almighty Yahweh works among His children.

The Samaritan woman in John 4 has usually gotten a bad rap. Why do people view her as a known sinner, when the text never says anything like this? In this lesson, I go through John 4 and hit the highlights, including the comments Yeshua made to her about her many husbands. You'll probably hear some things in this lesson that you've never heard before in a sermon.

During the ministry of Yeshua, he had several encounters with women. Did you know that he had women disciples who traveled along with him (with the twelve)? Listen to learn about the many ways which our Master included, upheld, and encouraged women - even in the midst of a culture that often did not do those things.

If you mention the name Huldah to the average church-goer, you will likely get a blank look from their face. Why is it that Huldah, a great prophetess of Yahweh, is overlooked or not even known? Listen to learn how she was used as Yahweh's spokeswoman at a time of distress in the nation of Judah. Recommended reading about Huldah; Chapter 10 of this book: https://www.amazon.com/Vindicating-Vi....

In this lesson I begin looking at female prophets in the Bible. I look at the leadership roles of Miriam and Deborah, and highlight specifics in their life. Women that Yahweh used like this teach us that women can lead, even over men.

In order to understand the weight and significance of the prophetess we need to spend some time looking at what it meant to be a prophet. Whatever can be ascribed to the male prophet can also be ascribed to the prophetess (female prophet). This will help us grasp how important women like Miriam, Deborah, and Huldah were to the nation of Israel.

This lesson is part of the series of "Strong Women in Scripture," but it is more of an accompaniment sermon to the series. It was needed in order to highlight proper Bible study, and how this method of study has changed my views on so many issues in the last twenty plus years. The lesson centers in on letting the Older Testament be the foundation and basis for faith and practice.

We hear so much about Moses, but we rarely hear about the women who saved Moses early on in his life. Listen to learn about the bravery and faithfulness of the Hebrew women who lived in Egyptian bondage.

I've been in church my entire life, and I have never once heard a sermon taught on Leah (a wife of Jacob-Israel). The way Leah was treated and viewed was awful, but Scripture and history teaches that she remained steadfast towards Yahweh through it all. Listen to learn how her faithfulness finally gained the reward she had been looking for for many years.

It's been said by some that the fall into sin was the fault of the woman. Songs have even been written about this. Is it true? Was what happened in Genesis 3 primarily the woman's fault? Or is there more to this that we are overlooking?

Intro lesson to the series. I cover Male and Female in Genesis 1, 2, and 5, centering in on the equal value Eve held with Adam. I also look at the word "helper" in Genesis 2:18 in order to see if it carries a meaning of lower value as some have suggested.

In light of the current crisis, my mind has been focusing on Yeshua's words in his Sermon on the Mount. Worry is an easy thing to get caught up in. What is much better than worry though, is trust; a trust that not only believes but gives.

This lesson is an offshoot of a current series (spring 2020) on Exodus 11 through 12. In light of current events (Covid-19), we are currently holding online services only, and have decided to observe Passover in the second month. Is this allowed? Listen to learn of the grace and mercy Yahweh shows us in His Passover.

This is our final lesson in the book of Galatians. It covers things like martyrdom, the torture stake of Yeshua, suffering persecution for the Master, and what makes one an Israelite or child of Abraham.

Why does Paul mention writing with large letters? Also, the motive of the influencers is discussed. It is amazing that Paul says those who push circumcision don't even keep the law.

Whatever we sow is what we will eventually reap. Sometimes it just doesn't seem that way, but we must not get tired of doing good, because our harvest is coming.

One way we love our neighbor is by taking care of men who have dedicated their lives to the study and teaching of law and gospel. This lesson covers both the abuse of such practice and the proper use.

When you watch your brother and sister fall into a sin, how should you handle it? This lesson also covers what the phrase "law of Christ" refers to.

The contrast with the works of the flesh is the fruit of the Spirit. If we have been given the first-fruits of the Spirit, we will produce fruit consistent with that gift.

Our battle as Spirit-filled believers is with powers of darkness in a spiritual realm. Listen to learn about identifying our enemy and taking precaution to stand against him.

What does it mean to be led by and walk in the Spirit? Why is it that as believers in the Messiah we still struggle with sin? Do certain sins keep one outside of the Kingdom? How will we ever win battles over our sin?

Paul has taught the Gentiles to stand firm against the false gospel of the influencers, but he balances that out by also teaching them that they must fulfill the law. Just because you aren't justified by certain commandments doesn't mean you aren't required to obey Torah.

This lesson covers the need to be careful who you listen to, Paul's preaching or not preaching of circumcision, how the torture stake the Messiah died upon was a stumbling block to many, and the call for the false teachers to be castrated. There's a lot to learn here.

What does the Bible say about the relationship between a slave and a master? How are we to view slavery, and are there any relationships in modern society that are equivalent? We are all servants, and we should all serve with willingness and gratitude.
