Most people begin speaking on or thinking about the New Covenant with Hebrews 8 or 2 Corinthians 3. That's too late in the game. We should begin - at least - with Jeremiah 31, and then pull from either further than that based on key words in the text. But then, you have a lot of people that read Jeremiah 31:31-34 and stop. They don't finish chapter 31, much less go into chapter 32 and 33...

The better promises of the New Covenant do not stop at Jeremiah 31:34. The rest of Jeremiah 31 (and 32-33) continue to speak on the matter, as well as parallel prophecies in the books of Isaiah, Micah, and Ezekiel. I also look at the question of "Do we possess the Spirit of Yahweh in our hearts now?"

In this lesson I give some preliminary thoughts about what has happened in my life as a Torah Observant Christian over the last 23+ years. I then begin walking through the prophecy in Jeremiah 31 (beginning at verse 31) and define words, phrases, and concepts using Scripture alone. Very few people have a correct understanding on what the New Covenant actually is, but I promise you that it's n...

Part 4 in the series on the Armor of Yahweh. This lesson looks at how we block the fiery darts of the enemy, and is a call to action during the perilous times of our life.

What does it mean to have your feet sandaled with the gospel of peace? It's so important that we put on this part of the armor, probably more important than you ever realized.

This lesson covers exactly what the righteousness Paul speaks of here is. The breastplate was arguably the most important part of a soldiers battle wear, covering both the stomach (bowels) and the heart.

In order for us to be equipped for spiritual battle we have to be wearing spiritual armor. In this lesson, brother TJ Martin begins dissecting each tool in the Armor of Yahweh, so that we can know exactly what it takes to defeat the Devil and all he stands for. He specifically centers in on what the belt of truth actually is.

This lesson deals with all the crazy stuff that happens in the everyday life of a human. Yahweh's path isn't always a walk through the park. Sometimes we go through the valley of the shadow of death. The main thing is that we keep the faith. We must run the race until we cross our finish line. Don't give up. Keep on keeping on.

She's been called the mystery woman by some historians. Who was Mary Magdalene? Was she the wife of the Lord? Did she engage in prostitution? Listen to learn of the portrait that Holy Scripture paints for us for this woman, and be amazed in the way that Almighty Yahweh works among His children.

The Samaritan woman in John 4 has usually gotten a bad rap. Why do people view her as a known sinner, when the text never says anything like this? In this lesson, I go through John 4 and hit the highlights, including the comments Yeshua made to her about her many husbands. You'll probably hear some things in this lesson that you've never heard before in a sermon.

During the ministry of Yeshua, he had several encounters with women. Did you know that he had women disciples who traveled along with him (with the twelve)? Listen to learn about the many ways which our Master included, upheld, and encouraged women - even in the midst of a culture that often did not do those things.

If you mention the name Huldah to the average church-goer, you will likely get a blank look from their face. Why is it that Huldah, a great prophetess of Yahweh, is overlooked or not even known? Listen to learn how she was used as Yahweh's spokeswoman at a time of distress in the nation of Judah. Recommended reading about Huldah; Chapter 10 of this book: https://www.amazon.com/Vindicating-Vi....

In this lesson I begin looking at female prophets in the Bible. I look at the leadership roles of Miriam and Deborah, and highlight specifics in their life. Women that Yahweh used like this teach us that women can lead, even over men.

In order to understand the weight and significance of the prophetess we need to spend some time looking at what it meant to be a prophet. Whatever can be ascribed to the male prophet can also be ascribed to the prophetess (female prophet). This will help us grasp how important women like Miriam, Deborah, and Huldah were to the nation of Israel.

This lesson is part of the series of "Strong Women in Scripture," but it is more of an accompaniment sermon to the series. It was needed in order to highlight proper Bible study, and how this method of study has changed my views on so many issues in the last twenty plus years. The lesson centers in on letting the Older Testament be the foundation and basis for faith and practice.

We hear so much about Moses, but we rarely hear about the women who saved Moses early on in his life. Listen to learn about the bravery and faithfulness of the Hebrew women who lived in Egyptian bondage.

I've been in church my entire life, and I have never once heard a sermon taught on Leah (a wife of Jacob-Israel). The way Leah was treated and viewed was awful, but Scripture and history teaches that she remained steadfast towards Yahweh through it all. Listen to learn how her faithfulness finally gained the reward she had been looking for for many years.

It's been said by some that the fall into sin was the fault of the woman. Songs have even been written about this. Is it true? Was what happened in Genesis 3 primarily the woman's fault? Or is there more to this that we are overlooking?

Intro lesson to the series. I cover Male and Female in Genesis 1, 2, and 5, centering in on the equal value Eve held with Adam. I also look at the word "helper" in Genesis 2:18 in order to see if it carries a meaning of lower value as some have suggested.

In light of the current crisis, my mind has been focusing on Yeshua's words in his Sermon on the Mount. Worry is an easy thing to get caught up in. What is much better than worry though, is trust; a trust that not only believes but gives.

This lesson is an offshoot of a current series (spring 2020) on Exodus 11 through 12. In light of current events (Covid-19), we are currently holding online services only, and have decided to observe Passover in the second month. Is this allowed? Listen to learn of the grace and mercy Yahweh shows us in His Passover.

This is our final lesson in the book of Galatians. It covers things like martyrdom, the torture stake of Yeshua, suffering persecution for the Master, and what makes one an Israelite or child of Abraham.

Why does Paul mention writing with large letters? Also, the motive of the influencers is discussed. It is amazing that Paul says those who push circumcision don't even keep the law.

Whatever we sow is what we will eventually reap. Sometimes it just doesn't seem that way, but we must not get tired of doing good, because our harvest is coming.

One way we love our neighbor is by taking care of men who have dedicated their lives to the study and teaching of law and gospel. This lesson covers both the abuse of such practice and the proper use.
