Reunion Roadmap

Messiah Meetings 2025 happened at Hebraic Family Fellowship Dallas-Fort Worth (HFF DFW) on December 11-12. The theme this year was the Gifts, Office, and Fruit of the Holy Spirit. In this presentation, B’ney Yosef North American Deputy Executive Director David Altman investigates the office of Apostle. Paul and Barnabas provide examples of apostolic ministry, but as David explains, they were not t...

It’s one thing to read about history. It’s quite another to be there when history is made, as Beverly Hall and Cathy Helms know from experience. They were in Jerusalem when the Israel’s ceasefire with Hamas went into effect, when the living Israeli hostages were released from Gaza, and when President Donald Trump addressed the Knesset. Their three-week sojourn in Israel involved many divine appoin...

Messiah Meetings 2025 happened at Hebraic Family Fellowship Dallas-Fort Worth (HFF DFW) on December 11-12. The theme this year was the Gifts, Office, and Fruit of the Holy Spirit. In this presentation, B’ney Yosef North American Elder Dr. David E. Jones highlights the Seven Spirits of God named in Isaiah 11, explaining the meaning and purpose of each and demonstrating how Messiah walked in the col...

Do the righteous cease being righteous when their people and nation go through God's judgment? As David Jones and Barry Phillips explain, this is something Israel's history of exile can teach us - and it has more practical application than we may expect.  Thanks for listening to Reunion Roadmap!

There are two steps in becoming a man or woman of God: being separated from the world, and being dedicated to Him. David Jones and Barry Phillips have some thoughts about how that happens, and what we often miss in the process. Thanks for listening to Reunion Roadmap!

Chanukkah is a festival that focuses on the victory of God's people over a specific enemy at a particular time. It's right to remember such occasions, but it's also right to remember that victory in one fight doesn't mean the war is over. Barry Phillips and David Jones have much to say about that in the context of our life in Messiah - both individually and, more importantly, a...

What exactly is the Torah and why are Christians even talking about it? Those questions are much more important than we might think. As David Jones and Barry Phillips explain, the answer has something to do with our profession of faith in the God of Israel and His Messiah. Thanks for listening to Reunion Roadmap! We have more resources available on our B'ney Yosef North American website at ht...

It is possible to bring a good report from God’s Promised Land and yet include in that report the unpleasant things in the land. That’s how Beverly Hall and Cathy Helms start this final segment of our conversation in their comments about crime in Israel, among other negative aspects of life there. Just like those ancient Hebrews who heard from the Ten Spies and from Joshua and Caleb, we have a cho...

Is the breach between Christians and Jews being narrowed? Beverly Hall and Cathy Helms have reason to believe it is. Their recent sojourn in Israel gave them ample opportunity to witness and take part in Jewish-Christian interactions on several levels. In this third part of our conversation, they share more of what they encountered in Jerusalem, and then take us with them to the Galilee where the...

Those who have not been to Israel may not realize how diverse it is. Even among Israel’s seven million Jewish citizens there is considerable diversity, as Beverly Hall and Cathy Helms found out. In this second part of our conversation, they begin by sharing the differences they noticed between secular and religious Jews. It was their intent to immerse themselves in Israeli culture and get to know...

Here are some hard questions to ponder: do we serve God because He is worthy to be served, or because we expect to get something for ourselves? Do we really have faith in God, or do we have faith in our idea of God? These are some of the questions Barry Phillips and David Jones address in this conversation about the life our Messiah calls us to live.  Thanks for listening to Reunion Roadmap! We ha...

What is prophecy? What is the role of a prophet? Are there prophets today, or was that something only for ancient times in the Bible? How does prophecy and other gifts of the Holy Spirit fit with the Torah Awakening in the church in our time? These are important questions David Jones and Barry Phillips discuss. Thanks for listening to Reunion Roadmap! We have more resources available on our B&apos...

There is more to hope than sitting passively and waiting for God to move. As Barry Phillips and David Jones explain, hope is a verb. That means for hope to be fulfilled, someone has to take action.   Thanks for listening to Reunion Roadmap!

How do we know when we need rain, and when we have too much? As David Jones and Barry Phillips explain, what we experience in the natural world teaches us about the spiritual rain we also need to live as our Creator intends. Thanks for listening to Reunion Roadmap! We have more resources available on our B'ney Yosef North American website at https://bneyyosefna.com/ If you like what you'...

It's hard to love someone if we don't know what love is. So what exactly is love? That's the question David Jones and Barry Phillips try to answer.   Thanks for listening to Reunion Roadmap! We have more resources available on our B'ney Yosef North American website at https://bneyyosefna.com/ If you like what you've heard, considering partnering with us by one of the optio...

How do we get beyond identifying ourselves as sinners saved by grace? In a sense, we don't get beyond, but if that remains the center of our identity, we miss so much more that our Creator and Redeemer has for us. Barry Phillips and David Jones have some deep thoughts about this topic. Thanks for listening to Reunion Roadmap! We have more resources available on our B'ney Yosef North Amer...

What does the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot) tell us about eternity? More than we might think, of course, as with all things of God. In this discussion, David Jones and Barry Phillips investigate some of those eternal implications of the eight days of Sukkot. Thanks for listening to Reunion Roadmap!

The story of Jacob and Esau is a puzzle. The Bible says Isaac loved Esau and Rebecca loved Jacob, but there's more to the story in the original Hebrew than what we read in translation. That's what Barry Phillips and David Jones investigate in this conversation. It shouldn't be a surprise that what they find has a lot to do with God's plan of redemption for Israel and all the na...

We read in 2 Peter 1:4 that followers of Messiah Yeshua are supposed to become "partakers of the divine nature." What exactly does that mean? Is there anything in the Torah about that - maybe something in the Fall Feasts that helps us understand our interaction with God and His divine nature? David Jones and Barry Phillips have some thoughts on these questions. Thanks for listening to Re...

In the Bible we read about sheep as a metaphor for people. There is a reason God put that metaphor in His book – a reason connected to His land and people of Israel.  Samuel and Keila Wearp have learned about that through hands-on experience. These newlyweds had a working honeymoon in Israel, where they led a team of Christian volunteers in an expedition to shear sheep on a farm in the Biblical he...

Among the uncomfortable sayings of Messiah Yeshua (Jesus Christ), one of the most difficult is this: Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. (John 15:13) We philosophize over what Yeshua meant until we see it in action. It can be said that we all saw a man lay down his life for his friends when Charlie Kirk was violently taken from this world on September...

One great revelation of the Torah Awakening is that disciples of Messiah Yeshua are grafted in, or adopted into, the house of Jacob - God's Covenant Nation of Israel. However, as David Jones and Barry Phillips explain, that revelation, should lead us to an attitude of loving humility, not arrogant boasting. Thanks for listening to Reunion Roadmap! We have more resources available on our B&apo...

How does support for Israel have anything to do with the prophesied Messianic Age? Samuel and Keila Wearp have some thoughts about that. In fact, their understanding of Messiah’s Kingdom is what inspires them to do things like lead a team of sheep shearers to Judea to help Jewish shepherds! They talk about that and more in this concluding segment of our conversation. What Samuel and Keila are doin...

It’s hard to engage in economic development when you’re struggling just to hold on to your land. That’s the situation of the Jewish pioneers in Judea walking out the commandments and promises of God to reclaim and settle their ancestral homeland. There is great reason for hope, both for Israel and all the nations of the earth, as Samuel and Keila Wearp tell us in this third part of our conversatio...
