First Century Christianity

He set out to defend what he had always believed—but the deeper he studied, the harder it became to ignore the evidence. Using original Catholic sources, books, and historical references, he tried to make it all fit… until it fell apart. This short explores a powerful moment of personal conviction, research, and religious discovery. If you enjoy content about faith, belief, deconstruction, church...

Grass is green, the sky is blue, and there are still only two genders. Somebody please tell that to my hospital!

In this sermon and group discussion, we study Romans 4 and Paul’s teaching on Abraham , faith , and righteousness . We walk through how Abraham was counted righteous by faith (not by works), what it means for righteousness to be credited by grace, and why God’s promise is sure for both Jews and Gentiles. The conversation also explores related passages (including Psalms 32, Genesis, and more), the...

he song in the background is “I’m Waiting” by Kerry Alexander—a song about anticipating the return of the Messiah. In Jeremiah 29, God told the exiles in Babylon to build lives: marry, have children, plant gardens, and seek the peace of the city—not to withdraw or stir rebellion. That same wisdom applies today: while we wait for Yeshua’s return (we have signs, not times), we’re called to live fait...

Why did mainstream Christianity adopt doctrines that conflict with the Bible? In this short, I share my journey after leaving Catholicism—examining the 300s church councils, how authority was claimed, and why changing the Sabbath matters. The New Testament model was simple: follow Yeshua, walk out Torah as He did, and test everything by Scripture. If you’re seeking authentic, first-century faith,...

Testimonials from some of our congregation and what a first century Christian fellowship looks like!

In this Bible study through Romans 2:17–3, we follow Paul’s argument that religious identity and outward signs can’t justify anyone—God looks at the heart. The Law exposes sin and stops every mouth, but God’s righteousness is revealed through faith in Jesus the Messiah. • Romans 2:17–29: teaching others vs teaching yourself; circumcision of the heart • Romans 3:1–8: God’s faithfulness, human unbel...

Why I left Catholicism after years of study. In this short, I explain the core issue that changed everything for me—church authority, apostolic succession, the magisterium, and what it means to disagree with Catholic doctrine. If you’ve wrestled with faith, tradition, and who has the authority to define belief, this is my story and reasoning. #shorts #Catholic #Christian #FaithJourney #Deconstruct...

Many people think the Book of Enoch contains suppressed, pre-flood “secret knowledge.” But historically, Enoch is Second Temple Jewish literature , commonly dated roughly 200 BC–100 AD —not something written before the flood or “carried through” ancient times. In this short, I explain the timeline , why we don’t have pre-flood literature , and how Enoch was transmitted through Aramaic/Greek tradit...

Many Christians are told the Book of Enoch is “missing scripture” that unlocks Genesis 6. But when you read Enoch carefully, it doesn’t simply add background detail—it changes the reason for the Flood. Genesis teaches that God judged the world because mankind was corrupt and sinful, and that sin has consequences. The Bible’s storyline from Genesis to Revelation is a continuous message: human rebel...

Did Christianity and Judaism split “early and cleanly”? Many say yes—but the historical record suggests the separation wasn’t fully forced until the mid-300s .In this message (Yeshua and Judaism) we cover: Second Temple Judaism vs. Rabbinic Judaism (not the same thing) How the synagogue system shaped early faith practice Torah portions , Sabbath worship, and what the New Testament actually shows W...

In Scripture, taking the name in vain is about misrepresenting God’s character , promoting false teaching , and claiming divine authority where God has not spoken. Saying “Thu...

Millennials and Gen Z aren’t imagining it — the economy is completely out of whack. Housing prices have tripled, wages haven’t, cars cost $40,000, and there’s nowhere left to run. This short explains why younger generations are right, why compassion matters, and why the system is unsustainable. Watch, reflect, and share if you believe we need more understanding — not blame — across generations.

What does it actually mean to take the Name of Yahweh in vain? In this teaching, we examine Exodus 20:7 through Hebrew, Torah, the Prophets, and the example of Yeshua to show that God’s Name represents His character, authority, and reputation—not mere pronunciation. Taking the Name in vain happens when God’s people misrepresent Him through behavior, false teaching, and disobedience. This episode e...

Many people who call themselves Christians will never live as He did.

The Days of Unleavened Bread teach us that God works through intentional cycles of renewal, obedience, and new beginnings —not randomness. In this teaching from the final day of Unleavened Bread, we explore how Scripture comes alive when it is lived out , not merely studied. From the Exodus and Joshua to the Messiah’s death, resurrection, and the appointed times that follow, the Bible reveals a co...

First Fruits is not merely symbolism. It is a literal, prophetic appointment fulfilled when Yeshua w...

40 minute message with 30 minutes of congregational discussion. What does real Christianity actually teach about repentance, forgiveness, and reconciliation? In this teaching, we examine a troubling trend in modern Christian culture: publicly exposing past sins—especially sexual sin—and calling it “testimony.” Drawing directly from Genesis, Isaiah, Acts, the Gospels, and the New Covenant, this mes...

Jesus gave clear instructions on the night He was betrayed—before Passover. He took the bread and the cup, washed His disciples’ feet, and commanded us to do this in remembrance of Him. This happened on Abib 13, the night before Passover—not Easter. The Apostle Paul later confirmed this command in 1 Corinthians 11, teaching believers how to observe it under the New Covenant. If we know exactly wha...

In this in‑depth Bible teaching on Romans Chapter 2 , we examine Paul’s message to both Jews and Gentiles , confronting hypocrisy, false assurance, and the danger of hearing God’s Word without obeying it.

So when did everything change? The answer may surprise you: the Council of Laodicea in the late 300s. This short exp...

Are you afraid of your beliefs being challenged? The Bible says knowledge will increase—and today, scholars from Oxford, Israel, and beyond are finally sharing what was once hidden behind seminary walls. Christianity didn’t separate from Judaism when you were told, and early believers worshiped very differently than modern churches admit. If you trust the Holy Spirit, you don’t have to fear truth....

Are believers judged by works, or by faith alone? What does the Bible actually teach about resurrection, judgment, and obedience? In this in‑depth Scripture study, we examine faith, works, and judgment through the lens of the entire Bible , not church tradition. Using passages from John, Matthew, Romans, Isaiah, Psalms, Luke, 1 Peter, and the Torah , this teaching explains the resurrection of life...
