Yom Teruah: The Prophetic Call of the Shofar Yom Teruah represents one of Yahweh's divinely appointed times, calling us into sacred remembrance and response. As the first day of the seventh month, this holy convocation requires careful watching for the new moon's appearance. The Hebrew "Zichron Teruah" translates as "a memorial of the shout of the shofar," revealing that our focus should center on...

One Tree: Unity in Messiah Yeshua Through the olive tree metaphor in Romans 11, we discover our sacred calling to become one unified people under Yahweh's covenant. As both natural and grafted branches drawing life from the same holy root, we transcend our diverse backgrounds to embrace our shared identity in Mashiach. This transformation requires us to abandon selfish ambitions and embrace humili...

The King in the Field: When Heaven Meets Earth Throughout Scripture, Yahweh establishes sacred appointments with His people, marking specific seasons for divine encounter. The ancient parable of "the King in the field" beautifully illustrates how our Heavenly Father approaches us during times of preparation and reflection. Imagine a king who, instead of requiring his people to come to the palace w...

  The Tree of Knowledge, or The Tree of Life. Which Will YOU Choose? When we examine the Garden of Eden narrative, we often focus exclusively on the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Yet Scripture reveals two significant trees: the tree of life positioned in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Yahweh's instruction to Adam was clear: eat from every tree except...

A Banquet of Joy: Our Divine Invitation Yeshua's parable of the wedding feast reveals the eternal invitation extended to us by our Heavenly Father. In Matthew 22 and Luke 14, we see a king preparing a magnificent banquet for his son's wedding, calling forth guests to participate in this celebration of covenant relationship. The original invitees made excuses, prioritizing worldly concerns over the...

Go Fishin' - A Call to Discipleship In Matthew 28:18-20, Yeshua delivers His final commission with absolute authority, commanding us to make disciples of all nations while teaching obedience to His commandments. This mandate connects directly to His earlier call when He promised to make His followers "fishers of men." The powerful illustration in John 21:1-6 reveals how easily we drift back to fam...

The Sermons on the Mounts: Two Mountains, One Message When we examine the teachings Yeshua delivered on the mountain in Matthew 5-7, we discover something: these words do not contradict the instructions given at Mount Sinai, but rather reveal their deepest spiritual meaning. The Sermon on the Mount represents Yeshua's divine interpretation of Torah, showing us how the eternal principles given thro...

The Law of Liberty: Walking in Covenant Relationship The heart of biblical faith centers on covenant relationship with Yahweh, established through redemption and sustained through His Word. This understanding reveals that Yeshua came not to abolish the Torah but to fulfill it, demonstrating how we should walk in righteousness after receiving new life. Once redeemed, we need guidance on how to live...

The account of the blind man in Mark 8:22-25 reveals interesting truths about Yeshua's healing ministry and our spiritual transformation. When brought to Yeshua in Bethsaida, the blind man experienced a unique two-stage healing that demonstrates how our Messiah not only heals but makes us completely whole. After Yeshua applied saliva to the man's eyes and laid hands on him, the man declared, "I se...

The Heart of Worship (thoughts for the month of Tammuz) Just one month after Israel heard Yahweh's voice at Mount Sinai, they fashioned a golden calf and declared, "Tomorrow shall be a feast to Yahweh." This reveals the dangerous tendency to worship our ideas while invoking His sacred Name, the ultimate deception that transforms worship into idolatry. The golden calf incident warns against fashion...

Grace and Justice: The Divine Balance Throughout the tapestry of Scripture, grace and justice emerge not as opposing forces but as harmonious expressions of Yahweh's character. The psalmist beautifully captures this divine balance: "Mercy and truth have met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other" (Psalm 85:10). The grace bestowed upon each believer remains constant; none require...

Perception or Reality_Don't Believe Everything You See 061425 Our human perception often creates a distorted lens through which we view circumstances, filtered by past experiences, expectations, and personal biases.

When Israel faced judgment through fiery serpents due to their complaints and f...

Mikveh (Baptism): Restoration Through Yeshua's Cleansing The ancient practice of mikveh reveals Yahweh's profound desire for intimate relationship with His people.

This sacred act symbolizes spiritual transformation: death to the old self and resu...

The Purpose and Power of the Ruach HaKodesh The Ruach HaKodesh moves with divine purpose—not merely for signs and wonders, but to transform believers from within.

Teach us to pray Shalom y’all, this week we talk about prayer. There are so many things we can learn about prayer, but to me, the most important thing to remember is that prayer is a connection to YHWH.

With so many thoughts on prayer, or maybe the temptation to make it a “formula”, could be a reason Yeshua's disciples ask...

Shalom, y'all, this week we look at how, in the Scripture, we see many prophetic implications. We will explore the life of Yosef (Joseph) as a foreshadowing of Yeshua. We will see a picture of a suffering servant and a ruler of all the earth.

Shalom Y’all, when many think of Eliyahu (Elijah), they love to think of the fire coming from heaven, but this was not the end of the story.
