First Century Christianity

Halfway through Stop in the Name of God , the late Charlie Kirk shares a powerful, unfinished final message about the Sabbath, obedience, and true surrender to God. This isn’t works-based faith—it’s about living the way Yeshua lived and experiencing real spiritual blessing. If you’re coming out of Sunday church or searching for biblical foundations, this is where to start . #Sabbath #CharlieKirk #...

In this in‑depth Bible sermon, Corky Wilson teaches from Romans chapter 1 , explaining how the righteousness of God is revealed through the gospel of Christ. This message explores salvation by faith, the Hebrew understanding of righteousness ( tzadik ), the Septuagint, and how God’s righteousness is connected to covenant, obedience, and judgment. Drawing from Romans, Psalms, Isaiah, Habakkuk, Gala...

Is Paul another Moses ? This short challenges a common Christian assumption and calls believers back to Genesis, Torah, and the example of Jesus (Yeshua) . If following Christ means living as He lived, this message invites you to rethink faith, obedience, and Scripture from the beginning. #Paul #Torah #Jesus #Yeshua #BibleStudy #ChristianFaith #Messiah #Obedience #Genesis

Proof the KJV translators misrepresented the words of Jesus in John 5. This remarkably fraud disqualifies this book as a bible.

How did the apostle Paul preach Jesus (Yeshua) as the Messiah to Gentiles who had no understanding of the Torah, the prophets, or a Jewish Messiah ? In this in‑depth Bible teaching, we explore how the Messiah is revealed throughout the Old Testament , long before the New Testament was written. Paul and the apostles proclaimed the gospel using Genesis, Psalms, Deuteronomy, and the Prophets , provin...

In this teaching, we explore the biblical foundation of repentance (teshuva) and what it truly means to turn back to God. Drawing from key passages in Acts 2, Romans 1, 1 John 3, Hebrews 4, and the Torah, this episode walks through the call to repent, the seriousness of sin, and the hope found in Yeshua the Messiah. You’ll learn about: The Hebrew and Greek roots of repentance: metanoeō, epistrephō...

The Bible reveals a rhythm of life—weekly, yearly, and generational cycles designed to bring balance, renewal, and spiritual clarity. When we embrace Yahweh’s Holy Days, we step into His seasons of repentance, celebration, rest, and restoration. In this episode, we explore how these biblical cycles help us navigate prosperity and hardship, joy and sorrow, birth and loss, and the natural ebb and fl...

Explore the rich, four‑level biblical meaning of Passover through the lens of PaRDeS (PRDS)—the ancient Hebrew framework for understanding Scripture. This teaching walks through the P’shat, Remez, Drash, and Sod levels of Passover, from Abraham and Isaac, to the Exodus, to the sacrifice of Yeshua, and finally to the prophetic future fulfillment in the coming Kingdom. Learn how each “cup” of Passov...

Explore the full meaning and schedule of the Spring Holy Days in 2026, including Passover, Unleavened Bread, and the unique observance Yeshua commanded: the Night He Was Betrayed. This teaching walks through each appointed time with clarity, scripture, and practical guidance for believers observing outside the Land in a New Covenant context. We cover: - The Night He Was Betrayed — why Yeshua told...

The Messiah Confrontation: Why Israel Knohl Says the Pharisees Wouldn’t Have Executed Yeshua In this video, I review Professor Israel Knohl’s groundbreaking book The Messiah Confrontation, a work I first discovered through the excellent Kedem YouTube channel. Knohl argues that Yeshua’s execution was not the result of Pharisaic hostility—since the Pharisees, the ancestors of Rabbinic Judaism, would...

The prophet Hosea issued a stark warning about rejecting knowledge. Today, we have all the knowledge on earth available in our pockets. Please take the time to test what you've been taught in church. Don't believe it just because the internet says it, but chase down the links and discover what's true and what's fake yourself!

In this episode, we explore what the Second Commandment truly prohibits and how believers can navigate a world filled with images, symbols, and religious artwork. Scripture doesn’t ban all imagery—only images used for worship or rooted in pagan practice. We look at biblical examples of God‑approved imagery, the historical origins of crosses and goddess statues, and why certain symbols have no plac...

Understanding when to listen to people—and when to stop—is a biblical command , not a personality trait. This teaching walks through the ancient hierarchy of prophets, teachers, and Scripture , and compares it to the modern world where everyone has access to a Bible but few actually know it. We explore how Torah, the Prophets, Yeshua, and the Apostles gave clear tests for identifying true prophets...

What is the real purpose of the Bible? Why did God give us His Word, His Spirit, and His commandments — and what does He actually want from humanity? This teaching walks through Scripture from Genesis to Isaiah to uncover the consistent pattern of God’s relationship with mankind, our repeated failures, and His unwavering goal for His people. We trace the story from the Garden of Eden to the Flood,...

This video is available here for those seeing this in audio only https://youtu.be/n9ZUWBIEDIg . This message was inspired by watching CJ Cornthwaite talk about leaving Christianity, #deconstruction, and the absolute meanness of Christians towards each other when doctrine is challenged. In my case, I left Catholicism because I proved it to be true and simply could not accept that a new religion was...

When Sunday and Christmas Became Mandatory Sunday and Christmas are two pillars and even litmus tests for Christianity today but they both were shunned by believers until deep into the 300s AD. This message shows both these doctrines of men were introduced after the close of scripture and time-stamps when they were made mandatory for Christianity. We also discuss the result of the councils, that a...

All you who refuse to keep the 7th Day Sabbath: Are you really saying you're better than God? https://firstcenturychristianity.net/the-sabbath-is-for-all-mankind/

The Torah is required for Christianity to exist and for us to have any meaning to our beliefs and practices. Christianity is the continuation of the faith of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It is not a new religion founded by a new God or prophet 2000 years ago, that would be a different religion entirely. This message proves that our faith depends on the Torah for both our values as well as the identi...

Acts 15 includes the following "For Moses from ancient generations has in every city those who preach him, since he is read in the synagogues every Sabbath." (Act 15:21) This shows the Gentiles were keeping the Sabbath which is why the Jews even know who they were. In fact, Acts 15 doesn't make sense at all if the Gentile Christians had set up shop on a different day of the week and...

Chanukah is important to Christians so we can better understand Matthew 24. It also gives us a microcosm view of the plan of salvation. Long version at this link. https://open.spotify.com/episode/1DezAVSKVtuMjz7VcgLcLM?si=HiEOZ_IsSw2sVvMZ8dsl4Q

Yeshua aka Jesus was directly referring to Chanukah in Matthew 24. Understanding the details of this observance really helps a person to understand the context of prophecy and the words of the Messiah when He referred to the abomination of desolation. Let the reader understand.

Before delving into doctrines I am offering my perspective on the overview of the faith once delivered highlighting the giant philosophical divergences between the original faith and traditional Christianity. Early Christianity was a mess with respect to doctrines and this idea that one was condemned if they disagreed was a foreign concept. The apostles openly disagreed and discussed concepts whil...

John Calvin and Martin Luther were completely fine having individuals publicly executed for disagreeing with their doctrines. The "early church fathers" had no problem pronouncing eternal judgment on people who disagreed with their doctrines and also using violence to enforce their beliefs. Those who used violence to enforce doctrine in the first century were exclusively the bad guys so...

Baptism is required for salvation. It is the only special thing we have to separate us from the rest of the world's religions, it is commanded, and the Son of God did this as an example for all who will come to believe in Him. This message shows the history of the practice of cleansing spiritual impurities with water from a Hebraic perspective and focuses on the incredible importance of Baptis...
