Messianic Audio Teachings

Part two for Reason Number 7 for believing that Yeshua is the Messiah of Israel focuses in on the reason that Yeshua performed miracles. Was it to prove that he is the Messiah? If not, why does the Gospel of John present his miracles, signs, and wonders as evidence? What's the real purpose behind Yeshua's miracles? This is the second of a two-part teaching. Listen to Part One " The Miracles Worker...

The Gospel of John presents Yeshua's miracles, signs, and wonders as evidence to persuade the reader to believe that He is the Messiah. But Maimonides raises several objections to that argument. Does the Messiah really have to perform miracles? Was Moses validated by miracles? What does the Torah say about a miracle worker who teaches Israel to stray from the Torah? Here's part one of the two-part...

Big news for Beth Immanuel about a very big miracle for the funding of the Beth Immanuel Mikvah Project. 

"To those who are without Torah, I become as without Torah, though not being without the Torah of God but under the Torah of Messiah." What is the Torah of Messiah? How can there be a New Torah or different Torah? This teaching from the Second Day of Shavuot draws on the teachings of Lubavitcher Rebbe to unlock the msytery behind Isaiah 51:4, "A Torah will go forth from me" and the New Torah of Me...

One good reason everyone should believe that Yeshua is the Messiah is that he never asked us to believe that. What did he ask us to believe? How did he present himself to the world? 

If it's possible to be "born again," is it possible to be "conceived again?" The Apostle Shimon Peter teaches us the difference between perishable seed and imperishable seed. 1 Peter 1:17-25.

A Hanukkah message about the abomination of desolation and "that one time that love saved the world" as an illustration of the potent pwoer of Yeshua's Gospel message of repentance and love at the End of the World. This teaching is a follow-up message to Reason Number 5: Healer of all Israel.

The Talmud says that before God inflicts a wound he creates the cure. Yeshua of Nazareth, the prophet of the second Temple, taught the cure to the wound that the nation was about to undergo. It's all about love.

Yeshua of Nazareth is THE prophet that God sent to warn fo the nation about the destruction of the second Temple. That places him on par with Jereimaih, Isaiah, and Ezekiel and puts him into the status of a verified prophet. 

It's often said that the Jewish people did not recognize the Messiah because they were anticipating a powerful warrior not a gentle teacher. That's not the case. The Messiah is a teacher of Torah and rabbi who leads the nation back to the Torah through repentance. Reason number 3 for believing Yeshua is the Messiah is that he is the rabbi to all Israel.  

What does it mean to be made "in the image and likeness of God"? This teaching explains the difference between "image" and "likeness" and explains how human beings are all made in the image of God but have lost the likeness of God. 

The siddur is not a hymnal; it is a symphony. It has been carefully composed to guide the soul through the unfolding drama of redemption. Far from being a random collection of prayers, the traditional Jewish prayer book is deliberately structured to echo the story of Israel’s salvation and to awaken our longing for its fulfillment. This lecture explores how the rhythms and themes of the siddur pre...

Shabbat Nachamu and the prophecy from Isaiah 40 brings us a "word of consolation" for these dark days when the spirit of AntiChrist's "strong delusion" has taken hold of the globe.

Messianic Judaism has an awkward relationship with the symbolism of the cross. Tisha Be’Av shows us how to recontextualize the cross, its meaning, and its atoning virtue in connection with the fall of Jerusalem and the destruction of the Temple.  

Did you know that your mind has loins? Peter tells us to gird up the loins of our minds. How does one go about doing so? This teaching takes a look at the old biblical idiom and finds the application in the words of Peter and the words of Yeshua.l 

The biblical prophets wrote under inspiration of the Holy Spirit. They did not always know the ultimate meaning of their own words. Neither do the angels. A discussion on 1 Peter 1:8-12.

Need some joy in your life? The Talmud says, "When Adar come in, joy increases." What's the reason for that? This teaching explains the principle and describes a recent miracle that took place in Israel. 

The Torah is God's revelation to the world, but that revelation has gone out to the world only an account of the name of Yeshua of Nazareth.

Yeshua says, "If you believed in Moses, you would believe in me." A closer look at this difficult saying of the Master unlocks John 5-6 with reference to the events of Exodus from Egypt: The Passover, the Seder Meal, the Crossing of the Sea, the Manna, and the Water from the Rock. 

Was Yeshua of Nazareth a real person? Outside of the Bible, what evidence do we have for his existence? This teaching looks into the Testimony of the first-century Jewish historian Flavius Josephus and discusses a recently discovered "lost version" of Josephus' account about Yeshua. 

James the brother of Yeshua warns us about the demonic wisdom of this world. This audio teaching takes us into Parashat Shemot and the book of Exodus to reveal the common agenda behind anti-Semitism and the war against the unborn. This teaching is an excerpt from D. Thomas Lancaster's Torah Club Commentary: The Beginning of Wisdom, available from First Fruits of Zion.   

Benjamin is stuck in the middle. The revelation of Joseph to his brothers teaches us about the revelation of Yeshua of Nazareth to the Jewish people, but who does the charcter of Benjamin represent? This teaching concludes the The Two Sisters teaching about the rivalry between Rachel and Leah and the distinction between Messiah son of David and Messiah son of Joseph. 

What happened to the northern kingdom and the Messianic dynasty of the house of Joseph? This teaching explains how the deeds of the fathers are portents for the sons yet again when Jacob divides his family into "two camps" thinking, ""If Esau comes to the one camp and attacks it, then the camp that is left will escape" (Genesis 32:8). Part three of the series titled THE TWO SISTERS.

Is Yeshua of Nazareth the one who was to come, or should we expect another? This second teaching in the series titled THE TWO SISTERS reveals the origin of the concept of two Messiahs in the rivalry between Rachel and Leah and the tears of Rachel, weeping for her children. 

From where do we derive the idea that there are two Messiahs? The story of Jacob and Esau and the story of Rachel and Leah are the stories of Messiah son of Joseph and Messiah son of David. Part One of a Four Part Teaching.
