When James and the other elders at the Jerusalem council decided to lay upon the Gentiles four laws, did this mean these were the only four laws that the Gentiles would need to obey for the rest of their life?

Many people believe that Acts 15 teaches that the law of Yahweh has been laid aside based upon the consensus of the Jerusalem Council of Elders in the Apostolic Assembly. Listen to learn why this is not the case.

This lesson concludes the four part series on the count to Pentecost. It is a continuation of part three in which I examine 7 total points that lead us in the direction of keeping Pentecost later into the summer than most do.

If someone adopts the lunar Sabbatarian model, how then do they count to Pentecost. Is there more than one option in view? Are there any clues in Scripture outside of Leviticus 23 that would lead us in any direction? Listen carefully to this somewhat technical sermon.

After Miriam hears from the angel Gabriel about her miraculous conception she goes to visit her relative Elizabeth in the southern portion of Israel. Elizabeth and the baby inside of her are excited about the news from Miriam.

There are those in Christianity today that believe Yeshua broke the Sabbath and paved the way for the abolishing of the dietary laws. Yeshua had disputes with the Jewish leaders of his day, but was he disputing with them about the observance of the Torah that they had produced by building fences around what the Most High actually said.

Once we learn when to begin counting for the Feast of Weeks we must then make sure that we are counting what Yahweh commands us to count. Do we count seven Sabbaths or are we only required to count seven weekly periods regardless of where the Sabbath falls?

Yeshua came to this earth to be the sinless lamb of God. This means he never violated the Torah. His mission had absolutely nothing to do with destroying his Father's law. Every letter and stroke remains intact.

There is a controversy when it comes to the correct count to the Day of Pentecost mentioned in Acts 2. This lesson begins to unpack the controversy by considering a few different angles to beginning the count.

Scripture tells us that sin is the transgression of Yahweh's law. If sin still exists today then that must mean that law still exists today. If law still exists today, and we shouldn't sin, then we should be obedient to law.

When Joseph found out that Miriam his betrothed wife was with child, he pondered in his heart what to do. An angel showed up to him in a dream and told him this was the fulfillment of a prophecy that spoke of a child being named Immanuel. If the dream told Joseph to name the child Immanuel, why do we not call the child Immanuel?

Here is this fifth part of a radio series I address the crucial truth that some things are impossible for Yahweh to do. If that sounds contrary to Scripture to you please take the time to listen to this lesson.

Some people claim that the first two chapters of the gospel of Matthew should not be in the Bible. They also claim that the virgin conception of Yeshua is a myth borrowed from paganism. Listen to learn how to answer such critics.

We do well if we understand the concept that Yahweh works through vessels here upon the earth. Many times the agent Yahweh is working through is spoken about as though they are Yahweh himself. Such speech is common from a Hebraic point of view.

Luke 1:34 is a very crystal clear text in Scripture authenticating the virgin conception of Yeshua, yet many people still continue to deny this doctrine pointing out what they feel are inconsistencies within Scripture. Was the virgin conception of Messiah just a pagan myth?

In our radio series on the Father and the Son I interview a very good friend and brother about his journey from believing in the Trinity to believing in One God and His only begotten Son.

The conception in the womb of Elizabeth was great, but what comes 6 months later is even more great. Here we walk through the beginning of Luke's birth narrative focusing in on the meaning of Hebrew betrothal as well as the child that would be born to the young teenager, Miriam.

The Scriptures teach in a very clear fashion that the Son is subordinate to the Father. This radio broadcast combs through some of the references showing the Father is greater not just in function but in everything, including nature.

The angel Gabriel speaks of the greatness of the child that would be born to Zechariah and Elizabeth. But, Zechariah doubts the angels message and is struck with the inability to speak. Elizabeth conceives and is thankful for Yahweh's grace.

Who is Yeshua? Many people answer this question with various answers. Some people say Melchizedek is Yeshua or that Yeshua was the angel of Lord in the Old Testament. Are these answers Scriptural? Who really is Yeshua? Is he Almighty Yahweh?

Luke begins his account of Yeshua the Messiah by starting with the parents of a child who was conceived before Yeshua. These parents are righteous people, in the eyes of the Father. They were special, hand picked by the Father for a purpose.

There is just too much emphasis placed upon the New Moon in Scripture for it to be an ordinary day. The New Moon isn't just a day or phase to declare and then go about our mundane things like we do during the work week.

Does Yahweh really choose who will be saved and who will be lost? If this is the case, then why does He find fault with sinners if He is the reason they are left to remain in their sin?

Paul explains in this section of his letter that not all Israel are truly Israel. What in the world does he mean here? To understand Paul's point you must travel back in time to see what took place in the life of people like Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, and Jacob.

Paul writes here that he has an intense sorrow in his heart for his fellow brothers in Israel that do not know Yeshua as the Messiah. He wonders if Yahweh's promises to Israel are meaningless seeing that many in Israel are unregenerate.
