One New Man MInistries

We replay One New Man's first ever radio show first aired 3/5/23! We discuss the Shechinah glory, God's divine presence which was to dwell among men on the mercy seat. The portion covers the duties of the high priest to attend to the perpetual light so that Israel is to be a light unto the world. We discuss the priests garments, and the priest's efforts to inspire and represent holiness, and displ...

We study the Torah portion Terumah(offering) Exodus 25-27:19 with dedicated instructions about building the tabernacle and Hebrews 9 which is the New Covenant portion addressing the dwelling place for the LORD. We discuss the chief purpose of man to glorify God and God's intention to dwell with His people. We discuss the instructions for the construction of the physical sanctuary within which is t...

This week's Torah portion Mishpatim, the ordinances or laws, which are derived from the 10 Commandments and which function as the basis for "common law". We discuss the covenant between the LORD and the Israelites, and the consummation of the marriage ceremony in Exodus 24. We compare and contrast the "lex talionis", the law of measures, an eye for an eye versus the law of grace that Yeshua preach...

Engage your senses and imagine yourself at Mt Sinai and the glory of God. Israel's call at Sinai has not been to privilege and rulership, but to witness, martyrdom, and service. The covenant is consummated at Sinai, Ex 19:5 "Now therefore if ye will hearken unto My voice indeed, and keep My covenant, then ye shall be Mine own treasure from among all peoples; for all the earth is Mine;" Ex 19:8 "An...

We start discussing our approach to scripture that to unlock what the Old Testament says requires the testimony of Yeshua. This weeks Parsha (Ex 13-17) describes God's provision and mighty deliverance of His people at the Red Sea. Ex 14:13-14 "Fear ye not, stand still and see the salvation (Hebrew yeshuat) of the LORD, which He will work for you to-day... The LORD will fight for you, and ye shall...

Exodus chapters 10-13 tells of the great deliverance of the Israelites from Egypt by the "strength of hand of the LORD". The LORD redeems a people to serve Him. The redemption requires a setting apart by the LORD Ex 11:7 "that ye may know how that the LORD doth put a difference between the Egyptians and Israel." because of the LORD's favor, which in Hebrew is the same word for grace. But first the...

In the Torah portion, Exodus 6-9, God proclaims "I am the LORD". He is the Promise Keeper, sovereign, faithful and covenant remembering. Ex 6:6-7: "I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will deliver you from their bondage, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm, and with great judgement; and I will take you to Me for a people, and I will be...

We start the book of Exodus and the great story of Moses reflecting upon the end of Genesis, "what the enemy meant for evil, God uses for good". We reflect upon Gen 15:13 where the LORD says to Abram that his descendants will be 400 years afflicted in a foreign land. At the end of those 400 years, God raises up Moses to lead the Israelites out of bondage. Pharoah intends to kill all the Israelite...

The Old Testament portion Gen:41-44:17 and the New Testament 1Cor2:1-5 lead us to discuss the themes of the wisdom of God and the question of justice, as does the Haftorah 1Kings 3:15-4:1 a story of Solomon judging to which mother does the disputed baby belong. Justice is treating others along God's "righteous standard". God's ultimate display of His wisdom and justice is the cross of Yeshua Ha Me...

The Old Testament portion Gen 37-40 reflects God's trials and favor and wisdom bestowed on Joseph. We discuss how Joseph's many trials strengthen his obedience and refine his faith, the process of sanctification. Gen 39:9 demonstrate that Joseph understands that God sees and knows all, and that any wickedness is a sin against God. In contrast, the New Testatment portion is Acts 7 Stephen's powerfu...

Jacob returns to the land of his father and is fearfully facing confrontation with his brother and mortal enemy, Esau, who has threatened to kill him. Jacob wrestles with an angel of the LORD who we later see is God, and Jacob holds on until he is blessed. Jacob walks away limping. Jacob undergoes a name change from Jacob meaning "supplanter", to "Israel" meaning "he who strives with God". The cou...

Jacob is blessed richly by grace, "God is with you", because God has determined to bless Jacob not because of Jacob's merit. We discuss the meaning of Jacob's ladder, his dream of ascending and descending angels. The LORD blesses Jacob and restates the promise to Abraham that through Jacob's offspring all nations will be blessed. In the New Covenant portion, Yeshua uses the same vision of the ladd...

From the weekly Torah portion Toledoth, we continue to discuss Isaac as the foreshadowing of Yeshua. In Genesis chapter 25-26, we see a path for peace through the story of Isaac and Abimelech, the king of the Philistines, the people living in Gaza. God has promised Abraham that through him and his seed all nations would be blessed. But in Gen chapter 26, God promises Isaac that through his seed al...

We discuss Genesis 23-25, “The life of Sarah”, and trace the seed of the blessing starting with Noah, through Abraham and Sarah, Isaac and Rebekah. The seed of redemption eventually incarnates as Yeshua, Jesus' Hebrew name, which means “salvation”. This is God's plan for the fulfillment of the Abrahamic covenant that through Abraham's seed all nations would be blessed. Afte...

We see in the Torah portion Vayera (Gen18-22) major themes of salvation. The portion ends with the Akeda, the sacrifice of Isaac, on Mount Moriah or the Temple Mount and the site of todays Dome of the Rock. The story of Isaac begins with the LORD announcing to Abraham and Sarah the promise of the birth of the son of the covenant to parents beyond the age of conception. The analogy of the virgin bi...

We discuss the Abrahamic covenant revealed in the Torah portion Genesis 12-17. God promises to make of Abraham a great nation and that Abraham will be a blessing to all nations because he will reveal the truth of the one God. The LORD promises to give Abraham and his seed the land of his sojourning. In Genesis 15, the LORD promises childless Abraham an heir and that his "seed" shall be as numerous...

Noah's faith and trust in God and his reverent fear for God, saved mankind. After the flood, Genesis 8:21 "the LORD said in his heart, "I will never again curse the ground because of humankind, for the inclination of the human heart is evil from youth; nor will I ever again destroy every living creature as I have done." God tells Noah to be fruitful and mutiply, and fill the earth." God gives domi...

The Torah starts: In the beginning, God! The biblical worldview is discussed. God, the Creator is sovereign. “All of creation is the overflow of God's love!” The spiritual precedes the material. The existence of God means that there is absolute truth, morality, and holiness. In the process of creation, God creates boundaries, light and darkness, land and water, and saw that it was good...

The reading for Simchat Torah is both the end and the beginning again of the Torah as the holiday marks the time when the scrolls end and are turned back to the beginning. The story ends with Moses at 120 years undiminished in strength, walking down the road with Joshua and Eleazar past the Israelites arranged by tribes being acknowledged by them who are grieving the departure of their great leade...

Sukkot, "Festival of Booths", is a Torah commanded holiday celebrated for seven days referring to the protection God provided for the Israelites during their 40 year trek through the desert. It is a joyful time of communal celebration of the ingathering, a celebration of gathering in the final harvest. This foreshadows the celebration of God's final ingathering of the harvest of His redeemed peopl...

Paul makes a forceful argument that God has not finished with Israel. Despite rejecting Yeshua, God intends to keep the covenant He made with them. It is based in part on our Torah portion, Deuteronomy 32. There Moses tells the people what will happen to them when they turn away to serve other gods. Terrible times will come- famine, war, and exile- but they are not the end of the story. Moses make...

Atonement is all God's grace and mercy. Our "works" of fasting, confession, and repentance cannot earn our salvation. We discuss Yom Kippur, the holy day of atonement, versus the once and for all atonement through the blood of Yeshua Ha Meshiach. Yeshua's single sacrifice for sins has "perfected for all time those being sanctified" and is God's plan for our redemption and salvation. By faith in th...

Awaken Israel! Our God is a covenant keeping God. He is redeeming a people for Himself. Deut 30:1-6: God has fulfilled His promise in Deuteronomy to bring the dispersed and scattered Jewish people back to the promised land in our lifetime! And now, Deut 30:6 "And the LORD thy God will open thy heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, tha...

We are redeemed by God's grace and we should have joyfulness and gladness of heart because of the abundance of all things. Ephesians 2:8 "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God". Deuteronomy 26:9-10 instructs the Israelites that when they come into the promised land, "the land flowing with milk and honey", that they should bring the fi...

To see another with the eyes of Yeshua ha Meshiach is to see their pain with eyes of compassion. The Torah portion Deuteronomy:21-25 demonstrates case law of specific examples for how we should live and behave given the example of our Savior. Specifically we are "to love your neighbor as yourself". We are to treat every human being with justice which is derived from the inherent dignity of every h...
