PATH TO ZION PODCAST

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . Although the easily-manipulated masses are lining up to drink of the offerings of this present age, will anyone stop, test and discern what is unfolding in this national "movement?" Something is changing and I don't believe it is at all what many professing Believers are making it out to be. Can we just ask some questions? Let's find out...

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . In my world, people are becoming more and more volatile. Christianity, in my opinion, is not exempt. Personally, I regularly receive mockery, ridicule and often aggressive behavior from those who become greatly offended when speaking about how YHWH's Torah Instructions are a blessing and for the Believer today. Why is this? In this episo...

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . On the heels of our "Judging" series, we will play and then examine several video clips of popular celebrities speaking about their "faith, and belief," "Jesus" and "higher powers." Should the Christian simply hear the words of these "influencers" and rejoice or should we show large amounts of caution? We will read many biblical texts th...

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . In part 2 we go over many biblical mentions of Father's "righteous judgments" that Messiah spoke of in John chapter 7. We will ask, what if the Word has told us how to rightly discern and judge the Body, with biblically-defined "righteous judgments? What if we can implement a "standard of measure" that is not merely our own personal opin...

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . When presenting any kind of biblical counsel or correction, many of us have been immediately told, "you can't judge me!" But have we overlooked something? Messiah said to "first" and "then" in regards to the beam/plank and speck verse. It would seem that there is a proper, biblical process for us to enter into. In Part 1 we'll begin to l...

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . Did you know that, biblically, there are two types of wisdom? One "comes down from above" and the other is "earthly, natural, demonic." We must slow down and filter all matters of life through the wisdom criteria of the Word. How do we govern our lives according to the overreaching counsel of heavenly wisdom and avoid what is earthly and...

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . In Psalm 106 we read of David recounting the events of Numbers chapter 11. The children of Israel have been delivered and set free from Egyptian slavery, but quickly forget the works of the Most High. The grumbled and put YHWH to the test in the wilderness. He gives the people their request, but also "sends leanness into their soul." Thi...

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . The series concludes here as we fully establish the principle that parallels the events of Numbers and 1 Kings with the works and words of the Messiah Himself, as in John chapter 3. Using only biblical criteria and the patterns that we see, is the modern day "jesus," that promotes the abandoning of His Father's Instructions in any way de...

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . When Messiah was telling us that He "did not come to abolish the Torah or the Prophets" was He declaring that He met the Deuteronomy criteria to be the true Prophet & Messiah of Yahweh? If so, what do we do with "mainstream Jesus" that purportedly "did away with the 'old' Law?" In the Book of Numbers we read of the Hebrew word "nase"...

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . Can the Jesus that most of us have inherited stand up against biblical testing and survive into the other side as authentic? Does the modern-day Messiah fulfil and adhere to the biblical criteria of a true prophet of the Most High or does he enact a new way to live? Is it one that leads people away from the same commandments that He perf...

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . Can we ask some hard questions? Commonplace, dispensational Christianity hits some major hurdles when one slowly and contextually reads the accounts of the post-resurrection Assembly. Here we see Paul instructed by the elders of the Assembly to join alongside others in a Nazarite vow, which the Book of Numbers tells us included purificat...

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . Many people of faith rightly understand and teach that Yeshua (Jesus) was Savior. While entirely true, I believe that it needs highlighted that His Father was (and is today) frequently referenced as Savior, all throughout the entire Bible. Our primary text will be the account of Mary meeting Elizabeth in Luke chapter 1, where we see Mary...

A consistent biblical theme that we see is the danger of fearing men over the Most High. As we read of in John chapter 12, this kept many Pharisees - that put their trust in Messiah - from openly confessing their faith in order to keep from being thrown out of the assembly. As we read accounts such as these, we have the opportunity to look at ourselves. Are we truly willing to count the cost that...

The issue of blatant misuse of Scripture is probably never more evident than how we commonly see Proverbs chapter 29 verse 18 handled. Most of us have heard endless sermons and church endeavors misusing this text, but we have only heard half of this verse (and the half that we have heard doesn't mean what it's proposed to.) If this text was never meant to simply justify building programs, missiona...

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . In this concluding episode we'll take a handful of Bible verses and swap the words "good works" with "filthy rags" and see what happens. It only takes a few minutes to clearly see that, biblically - and (most importantly) in the eyes of the Most High - good works that are sourced in Him are in no way merely filthy rags. The humble man wi...

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . In this part, we'll read many biblical texts that clearly teach us that the Most High's attention is towards those who carry out good works/righteous deeds, that are sourced in Him. To say that good works are always merely filthy rags would be to ruin the wonderful works that originate in Yahweh, that we are to perform now, in the likene...

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . In part 1, we'll begin by pairing Isaiah 64:6 with other biblical texts that cause us to question if this isolated verse is as broad as it has been taught to be. For example, what do we do with verses such as Hebrews 10:24 which tells us to “consider how to encourage one another in love and good deeds?” We'll discuss many texts that supp...

Just some random thoughts about the Father's Holy Days as I sit in the woods, hunting.

We're told that "the one who does the will of Elohim continues to live forever." It would seem that we should thereby need to rightly understand how to determine what the will of the Creator is. Equally, Ecclesiastes tells us what is the entire duty and purpose of every man to ever live. Do you want to walk in the Most High's will and inherit eternal life? Do you want to fulfil your purpose? Let's...

When we read of the disciples slowness to properly understand Messiah's words, it would do us well to humbly admit that here we see ourselves. Are you ever found naive and ignorant? Would you even know it if you were? Let's find out!

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . Unlike Peter, most of us have never been too familiar with waiting patiently, in a state of being perplexed. Most of us have been trained to panic and force instant responses into trying moments in order to establish immediate solutions. Or, we move out in anxiety and pressure to “get it all right” and fail to *patiently* move out, step...

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . There's surely no shortage of opinion in this hour, but who will slowly and maturely discern the voices of this age and listen closely for the call that is going out? Biblically, a watchman discerns many things. They must alertly keep watch and warn others of what they're simply not capable of seeing, in their own environment and circums...

In an age of chaos and endless offerings to get all riled up, will *anyone* remain at true rest? Let's find out!

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . We live in an age where "knowing mysteries of heaven" has taken on an entirely new - unbiblical - meaning. In this episode we use the Word to highlight and then connect several texts to reveal that the mysteries of heaven may be different than we thought. Using the Matthew 13 text, we establish that "walking with Messiah" alone is not en...

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . As the crowds and disciples gathered to listen to Messiah, His taught ones asked Him a seemingly simple question. Yet His answer was a very deep one. Whether we like it or not, biblically, there are those who have been granted the ability to know the mysteries of heaven and there are those who have not. Which will we be? Let's find out!
