Just Live By Faith

Welcome back friend! Today we are finishing up our study on the sacrifices with the final, perfect sacrifice that was enough. Christ's self-sacrifice on the cross. And we look closely at what the writer of Hebrews has to say about what that means for us today, as well as those who lived before the Messiah. So please join me as we continue learning how to Just Live By Faith! -----------------------...

Welcome back friends! Today we continue our study on what God Himself says about the sacrifices and offerings that we read about in Scripture. We hear it so often quoted that He desires mercy and not sacrifices in order to prove that He never wanted sacrifices in the first place. And while having always agreed with that statement, I have also had questions that I never had an answer for until toda...

Welcome back friends! Today we answer the question that has been hanging around since our first look in the Biblcal Feasts on God's calendar. Each and every moed has an offering or sacrifices deeply tied to it, so a natural question would be, "Do we offer those sacrifices in order to keep the feasts today?" Join me as we take a look at what Scripture says, and how God's ordained events throughout...

Welcome back friends! Today we will be taking a look at God's daily reminder for us forgetful children. There's only two verses of this command in Torah, but that does not diminish God's authority behind it. He is the Lord our God! So please join me as we learn about this new, funny word that plays a quiet, but important role in the life of a child of Yah as we continue our journey of becoming a p...

This is going to be an episode where I chat with you all about my favorite things that we have experienced worshipping in homes, and what we have learned about what it really means to be part of the family of God. So I hope you'll hang out with me for a little bit a...

Hello friend! Today we begin a series of discussions that will address the elephant in the room: offerings and sacrifices. This is the most common question one will be asked once you begin your journey following Torah, and it's a valid one. "What about the sacrifices?" Today we will lay the foundation to our study by looking at what the different offerings were and what they were for, and then we...

We may be finished with the list of Biblical Feast Days laid out in Leviticus 23, but God has one more appointment with us! Today we are going to be looking into another day on God's calendar so that we can align our lives around His timeline. I invite you to join me in our rediscovery of the old and forgotten truth's that we find in Scripture so that we can all Just Live By Faith! ---------------...

Today we look at the final feast listed in Leviticus 23. We have been turning the pages in God's calendar, reading His story, and discovering that He is better than we ever knew! And this feast is no different. Join me as we discover these old and forgotten truths that surround our dwelling with the Lord not only in booths, but in eternity as well. And let's meet with God at His appointed time so...

Today's discussion on the next Feast Day listed in Leviticus covers the most holy and sacred day in the Biblical calendar. We will look at what sin actually is and does to us, and what God did to provide atonement for us. The Day of Atonement calls for a spirit of humility in the child of God. It's a day of cleansing and restitution so that we can have reconciliation with the Father in Heaven, and...

Organized moving of the camps, celebrations, victories in battle...so much throughout Scripture is first announced with the blowing of the shofar, the heralding of the King! Join me today as we see how God uses the blast of the shofar to announce His victory, and how He has given us a day to celebrate Him with the Teruah, or the blowing of trumpets. We also look at the prophecies surrounding this,...

Today we turn the page in God's Redemption Story to look at another Feast He has appointed for us. We look at one of the most recognized feast days here in the Western Church, Pentecost- also known as the Feast of Weeks. We will clear up our understanding of what exactly happened on this day both at Mount Sinai and in the upper room after Christ's ascension, and see how we can meet with God along...

Today we continue our journey through God's calendar that He determined since the Creation! The calendar that lays out the plans of the Father, and points our gaze directly to Christ. Join me as we continue to the next feast listed in Leviticus 23- the Feast of Firstfruits. We will see how this feast is to be our response to the goodness of God, and look at how Christ was the fulfillment as the Fi...

Welcome back friend! As our calendar flips over to a new year, we continue our study of God's calendar that He has laid out for us in Scripture. Today we ocntinue our look at Leviticus 23 to the next Feast listed, the Feast of Unleavened Bread.

Welcome back friends! Today we look deep into what God say's all throughout Scripture on the Sabbath, and whether it is a gift or actually a burden. We are going to unpack what the pulpits have been teaching for 2,000+ years, and challenge the deeply rooted traditions that we see in the church buildings today. In this episode we will discuss: Why, how, and who should keep the Sabbath Sunday vs. Sa...

If you have ever read Paul's letters that he wrote to the early church you propbably noticed that he could get...wordy. And under the traditional doctrine that we are taught in the Western church it can seem so confusing, and almost as if he is contradicting himself. But here on this podcast we take off our Western glasses, and put on our Middle Eastern glasses and look at what they are saying in...

Hey y'all! Welcome back :) Today we will take a close look into what Jesus Christ says regarding the Law, and all the different variations of its phrasing. We will see Him challenge the Pharisee's traditions and fulfill prophesy time and time again. He even quotes it and teaches from it, but does that mean that it still applies to us today 2,000+ years later? The words we will look at are: Law ( n...

Consider this our very first handshake. Hello and welcome! Have you ever compared how the modern church looks to the church that we read about within Scripture; the very book that we use to tell us how to view and walk in this world? What differences did you notice, and do those differences even matter? These are the kind of things we will be talking about in future discussions. We will ask our Bi...
