This is teaching portion of OAM’s 2022 Shavuot Celebration.  The post Shavuot 2022 Teaching appeared first on Out of Ashes Ministries .

Shavuot often doesn’t get it’s fair share of attention. How often do we celebrate it and move on to the next festival? Just because it’s a one day festival doesn’t mean it lacks importance and relevance and isn’t worthy of our complete and total attention and observance. Shavuot’s impacts should also be realized each and […] The post IBR Ep 104- So Shavuot...

Love your enemies. Treat everyone with the same lovingkindness God has shown you. Both Scriptural commandments and very good advice, but how many find these harder to actually live out in your everyday life? In this episode, we talk about a new way to expand our understandings of these foundational, Godly qualities. The post IBR Ep 102- Ahav & Chesed- A New Look appeared first on Out of Ashes...

This week, we share a throw-back teaching on Parashat Emor from 2018. We often, much like the traditions we come from, focus on only a few “pet” Scriptures. These tend to be things about dietary laws, calendar, and the Name. In this teaching, we invite you to look past those Scriptures that are familiar and […] The post IBR Ep 101- Parashat Emor- More Than Just Holidays appeared first on Out...

In Parashat Kedoshim (Lev. 19), we are commanded to be holy as HaShem is holy. There are many ways to understand holiness and today we will explore an important aspect of holiness, how it is to be understood, and how we can live it out in our world.

Let’s face it, by the end of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, most of us are ready to be done and can’t wait to sink our teeth into a big, doughy pizza. But did you know that there has been a long standing tradition among some religious Jews to hold a seder at the end […] The post IBR Ep 99- Messiah’s Meal appeared first on Out of Ashes Ministries .

In this week’s episode, we are continuing to expand our understanding of Passover. May the wonder and challenge that is Passover continue to shape our actions and responsibilities as we protest injustice, hopelessness, and the oppression of empire. The post IBR Ep 98- Passover as Protest (Part 2) appeared first on Out of Ashes Ministries .

There are many layers to the beautiful season of Passover. In these next two episodes, we will talk about the Exodus, Passover, and the giving of the Torah, as protest against the empirical ideal embodied in Egypt.

Parsha Sh’mini is a beautiful picture of the ultimate purpose of Scripture and the heart of God. In our everyday lives, we are on the constant cycle, some may say hamster wheel, of work days and weekends. We deal with the stresses of life all while longing for the rest of the weekend. In parsha […] The post IBR Ep 96- Parashat Sh’mni appeared first on Out of Ashes Ministries .

For so many Christians, we are obsessed with God’s call. This desire, while admirable, is often misplaced. Oddly, we spend our entire lives seeking God’s call, while never reading the book of Scripture titled, “He called”. In this week’s parsha, Vayikra, we are challenged by the first two words…”He called”. The post IBR Ep 95- Parashat Vayikra- The Call appeared first on Out of Ashes Ministries .

Moses gathered the people to explain the commandments and instructions for the Tabernacle. After Moses finishes his explanation, the people leave. The first of these commandments is Shabbat. In this week’s episode, we want to discuss what happens between our weekly Shabbat. Are we working six days to bring Kingdom?

n Parsha Terumah, the Children of Israel are commanded to build Gd a house. How is it that humans could build a dwelling place for the Holy King of the universe? How is His presence not offended by our lack? What does it take to maintain this holy habitation and what does that tell us […] The post IBR Ep 93- Parasha Terumah- A Worthy Housing appeared first on Out of Ashes Ministries .

One of the most vital things missing in our world today is hope. We are surrounded by chaos, confusion, and anxiety about how things are and what may lie ahead. Yet, we are children of the King of hope. It’s just who God is. Today, we are going to discuss God’s personality trait of hopefulness.

We know the Scripture, “for God is love”. Love is indeed the foundation of God’s relationship with humanity and the very reason Yeshua gave His life. There have been countless studies, teachings, and sermons on the topic of love and today we want to add to the discussion by talking about love in a way […] The post Having God’s Personality (Part 3): Love/Chesed appeare...

Today, we continue our teaching on having a Godly personality. This week we begin to look at God’s personality traits with likely the most important and foundational trait, holiness. The post Having God’s Personality (Part 2): Holiness appeared first on Out of Ashes Ministries .

We have often been taught about living holy lives, having Godly character, and exhibiting a life that looks like Yeshua. One word we don’t use very often in this conversation is “Personality”. Do we think of God having a personality? We are to have His personality, but what does that look like? The post Having God’s Personality (Part 1) appeared first on Out of Ashes Minist...

At his last meal, Yeshua gave matzah and wine to his disciples, telling them to eat his body and drink his blood. How are we to understand this cryptic and mysterious request? In today’s teaching, we examine the eighth day of Passover and Messiah’s Meal as we gain insight into the teachings of Yeshua.

This week exploring our wild & wacky Bibles, we’re going to check out how the Christian & Jewish traditions order the books of our canons and how that affects the way the story is told. The post Laying the Foundation (Part 3) appeared first on Out of Ashes Ministries .

In Parsha Terumah, God commands the nation of Israel to build Him a dwelling place, that He may dwell. But what does it take for a dwelling to be appropriate for the Creator of the Universe? Moreso, what does it take to maintain and sustain that criteria? In today’s episode, we talk about being a […] The post IBR Ep 92- Parsha Terumah- A Worthy Housing appeared first on Out of Ashes Ministri...

Parsha Mishpatim begins by speaking about Hebrew slaves (Ebed Ivrit). How are we to understand this concept? Is what’s being explained in the Torah similar to the atrocity of slavery that was experienced in American history? Does the Bible teach slavery? Does God endorse slavery? Today, we are going to tackle the issue and shed […] The post IBR Ep 91- Parsha Mishpatim- Hebrew Slavery appeare...

In this week’s episode we discuss the importance of community in keeping the commandments. In actuality, the Torah can not be kept outside of community. How does that affect us today, when most of us live in places that are not Torah pursuant? Join in to today’s episode to find out.
