We often think of Luke as the Gentile Gospel author. A physician, and a man of accuracy, we look to Luke’s Gospel account for the most chronological and detailed account of Yeshua’s life and ministry. But is that what Luke’s intention was? This week’s episode may give you some more to think about concerning Luke’s […]

Mark’s account of the Gospel is unique in many different ways, in particular that it is so short. We have often thought of its brevity in light of its order in the writing of the Gospel accounts. But is there another reason? This week we look at some fascinating aspects of Mark that will cause […]

In this week’s episode we begin a 4 week look at each Gospel account. These will all be general overviews as we prepare ourselves for the life and teachings of Messiah. This week, we look at the book of Matthew.

As we wrap up this mini-series on the 5 Jewish responses to Hellenism, we will challenge ourselves to not only look at what group we identify with most, but how we may exhibit behaviors and attitudes from each group.

When we read our Gospel accounts, much ado is made about the Sadducees and Pharisees, as if they are one in the same. As we looked at the Sadducees a couple of weeks ago, we saw that they were a particular group with a particular worldview. Are these Pharisees indeed the same? Is it fair […]

In this week’s episode, we move forward in our discussion through the “Silent Years”. As we look through the Jewish responses to Hellenism, we come to the Zealots. As we have done in the last few episodes, we will look at who they are, where they predominantly live, and what their worldview.

In this episode, we continue our talk through the five main Jewish reactions to Hellenism during the Silent Years. Carrying on from last week’s discussion on the Saducees, this week we are covering the Herodians & Essenes.

In this episode of IBR, we continue our walk through the “silent years” by beginning to discuss the five major Jewish responses to Hellensim. The first response we will discuss is the Sadducees. This history is absolutely crucial to understanding Yeshua’s criticism of this group in our Gospel accounts.

Many of us have heard the term “Hellenism” or “Hellenistic”, but how many of us know how Hellenism came about and how this worldview changed the world? In this episode, we introduce the beginnings of Hellenism and build a foundation for future episodes in how Hellenism affected the world of Judaism.

In this episode we begin our discussion of the Silent Years talking about the genesis of synagogue and the Jewish education system in the 2-3 centuries prior to and 1st century, during the time of Messiah.

During the next several episodes we are going to be preparing to approach the Gospel accounts. Before we get there, though, we want to have an understanding of the Israel our Messiah is born in to. For that, we have to spend some time in the so-called “Silent Years”. This episode is a refresher of […]

Under King David, Israel experienced its golden age. The New Eden was being realized and the promises from Adam through Abraham’s family were being enjoyed by the promised people of God. Under King Solomon, something tragic happened that would necessitate God rescuing Eden from Israel. In this episode, we talk about these monumental events and […]

In this week’s episode, we reach back to wrap up last week’s episode and continue the conversation around why Moshe was denied entrance into the Promised Land. In the second segment we move from Moshe to King David. We explore some powerful Eden language and see how King David is a new Adam, bringing a […]

There has been much speculation about why Moshe was not allowed into the Promised Land. In this episode, we look at a different perspective and consider another option for answering this timeless mystery.

In the final part of our walk through the desert, we wrap up our discussion on the common trees we find in the desert and turn our attention to the one who calls the desert home…the shepherd.

This week we continue to walk through the desert and become acquainted with its features, as it is the world of the Biblical authors. In this episode we will start to look at a few types of trees that are featured throughout the text.

“Becoming a People of the Ears I” God has chosen a new Adam once again…Israel, His first born. God lead Israel out into the desert where He gives His commandments at Mount Sinai and instructs them to build the Tabernacle. It’s all a wonderful story up until now, but why the desert? What does the […]

As most of us coming from a Christian background, I largely avoided the book of Leviticus. Over the last several years of my journey learning Torah, Vayikra has become my favorite book of Torah. In this week’s episode, we discuss this beautiful work of Scripture and how it is necessary for every believer.

Welcome to this episode of Image Bearers’ Radio where we take a brief look at the Tabernacle. We saw in Moses & Israel new Adam figures, returning from exile. What does an Adam need but a garden? The Tabernacle is a recreation of the sacred space of the Garden of Eden and is intended to […]

In this week’s episode, we are talking about the similarities between Moses’ calling to be the deliverer of Israel and the journey of Israel itself out of Egypt. As we read the Exodus narrative with the eyes of the Genesis 1-3, we see some beautiful themes that point us back to God’s sustaining intention for […]

In this episode we are moving on from Avraham and looking at the next major Adam-like figure in the Bible, Moses. As we read the story of Moses through the lens of Genesis 1-3, we see many interesting correlations. We hear the text harkening back to the beginning of the Bible and Moses emerge as […]

This week we wrap up our discussion of Avraham with the climax of his story…the Akeidah, the Binding of Isaac. Throughout his life, Avraham experienced 10 tests. By now, it should be no surprise that each of these tests include familiar imagery, especially that of trees and high places. As we look into this passage, […]

Our #1 priority is to bear the image of God well. Often times we are faced with difficult decisions. The constant push and pull of waiting on God verses taking steps that God can bless can be a daunting and tiring existence. What happens if we then make a misstep and it seems that everything […]

This week we’re taking a break from our regularly scheduled series on Genesis. This episode is devoted to addressing our responsibility as believers in this tumultuous time. If we are called the children of God, then we no longer represent ourselves. We now bear His Name, even in times of crisis, upheaval, confusion, and tragedy. […]

When we met Abram, we met a man who was more concerned about the name of others than his own. This week, we see some striking similarities between Abram and Adam. How does God speak to Abram? How does Abram follow? What does this tell us about what it means to bear God’s image?
