Yeshua was invited to a Pharisees house for dinner. Little did the Pharisee know that the woman who was known as the "town sinner" would show up in dramatic fashion. What took place has to be one of the greatest accounts in the ministry of Yeshua.

This lesson examines the biblical view concerning alcohol consumption. Much misinformation has been given by ignoring all of what Scripture has to say on this subject. In the last 10 minutes or so of the lesson, I answer some of the most common objections I hear posed toward the moderationist position.

The unbelieving generation of Yeshua's day could not be satisfied. They rejected Yochanan (John) and Yeshua, even though they came teaching the truth in unique (but differing) ways. The unbelieving generation today is the same. Only Yahweh's Spirit can change the heart.

The Pharisees and experts in the law would appear to need no confession of sin and baptism. But that is a strictly outward appearance. Their healing was to be found in taking off their mask of hypocrisy and getting in line with the tax collectors to be baptized by John.

An emotional attachment to the sinful world means that we are an enemy of Yahweh. Our desires must be inclined to spiritual truth, not anything else that the world has to offer.

According to Yeshua, John the Baptizer was the greatest man ever born. This lesson seeks to understand the reason behind his greatness.

More on heavenly wisdom, detailing the attributes of true wisdom found in James 3:17-18.

And expository sermon walking through John 8:12-59. Detailing what Yeshua meant in John 8:58 from the context of the surrounding verses and the Gospel of John as a whole.

This begins a two-part series (within a larger series) examining Yeshua's statement, "Before Abraham was born, I am." (John 8:58 NASB) Who was Yeshua claiming to be? Is he the I am of Exodus 3:14? In this lesson, I cover Exodus 3:14 as well as other texts in John's Gospel where Yeshua uses the words "I am," leading up to John 8:58.

What is real wisdom? How do we determine whether or not we are acting wise in this life? There are so many people today who view wisdom in ways that are just not wise at all. This lesson seeks to remove all of those and center in on the only wisdom that really matters.

A couple weeks before this year's Passover, I had a lot of thoughts go through my head. I wrote them all down as they came and shared them in this short lesson.

While the washing of feet was often done in the first century A.D. by the servant of a household, Yeshua took this practice and used it to teach his disciples a lesson in humility. It is a lesson we still need to learn today.

Brother Bryan Barnes came to our fellowship to share about the ministry his family began around 3 years ago in central California. They teach young adults how to farm organically, with all heirloom seeds, right there on a real farm. You can read more about their ministry by going to GrowinginTorah.com

There was a man by the name of Hezekiah in the days of the kings of Judah. What was in his heart was astonishing. What we learn through his kingship in relation to the Passover may be even more astonishing.

All Scripture is important. All doctrine is important. But not all Scripture and doctrine are of equal importance. This short lesson lists *some of the more important things that believers should be concerned with. They don't always square with what we "feel" should be most important.

Being in prison, Yochanan (John) could not see with his own eyes all that Yeshua had been doing. He believed, but needed the Master to help his unbelief. That was okay for John, and that is okay for you.

Mankind is able to control 1,000 pound horses, and 1,000 foot ships. Even the wildest of animals are controlled by us. Yet there is a small part of our body that can only be tamed by the work of the Holy Spirit.

Should John 1:18 read "only begotten Son" (as in the KJV) or "only begotten God" (as in the NASB)? Listen to learn about textual variation, and about the relationship between Yahweh the Father and Yeshua the Son.

A discussion from Summer of 2013 with a couple of brothers/friends of mine concerning when the day begins. I just found this recording today (Feb. 2015). I had forgotten about it before. I thought it would be good to share with others, so here it is. : )

A woman who had already lost her husband, has her only son die. But, Yeshua sympathizes with her and raises her son from the dead. Through this act Yahweh visited His people Israel. Beautiful, lovely account.

Brother James gives us two Old Testament examples of people with faith. In both cases faith produces works that people could visually see and hear and read about for future generations. Listen to learn more about the harmony between Paul and James in regards to justification.

Are we saved by faith? The answer is yes, but the faith that saves us is a living faith, one always accompanied by works.

The centurion soldier was not only a man of great humility, he was also a man of great faith. A faith that even amazed Yeshua, and had not been found by Yeshua, even in Israel.

The Roman centurion spoke so much truth when he told the Master to not trouble himself, because he wasn't worthy for Yeshua to come under his roof. Every single one of us should speak the same way to the Master.

The rich man can often buy his way out of a problem, but the poor man has to trust in something greater. We must all learn to not esteem our belongings more than our faith, and not esteem others based upon what they have or their social status.
