A new series of over 2 hours of teaching on the controversial spiritual gift of speaking in tongues. In this teaching, we will use scripture to explain the gift in a way that is practical, with testimonies to give it life, while considering what the Father desires this gift to achieve in the Body. This teaching is important because the gift has been abandoned by many because of bad experiences, in...

When Peter was on his boat, frustrated at the water for not bringing forth any fish that day, a stranger called out: "Throw your net to the other side of the boat, and you'll catch". Now isn't that the most ridiculous-sounding advice ever? Any good fisherman would know that it doesn't matter which side of the boat a net is tossed, it won't change the yield of fish. Yet this is exactly what Jesus s...

Some have been believers in Jesus all their life, yet still live lives lacking in what the Bible describes as love. For the believer, love is not an option, love is not a feeling. It does not compromise showing grace, nor showing truth. Love is not limited by our opinions, or the world's opinions. Love is not limited by how much we were offended or how much wrong was done to us. Love hopes, believ...

When Jesus walked up to the lost and sick, the first thing He did was to show them their treasures - their purpose, value, and most importantly His love for them. Above all else He came to them because He deeply desired to see them walk in the Freedom He has to offer. And only after all this was clearly communicated to the person, to the point of them wondering who Jesus could be, did He tell them...

No matter how long you've been walking with God, our enemy, the devil, does not give up. He waits at the door and throws out bad reports - lies. These reports come to us masquerading as our very own thoughts, but they are not. We are tested each day to see what we trust more: The bad reports this world will bring, or the unbreakable promises of our God, who dwells in unapproachable light. Take you...

In everything we do, we are called to glorify God. And a wedding ceremony is the ideal event to use as a witness! PD & Christina's wedding was a Hebraic themed wedding, inspired by the Biblical narrative. In this video, we share the different elements we used in our wedding, what they mean, and how you can use them to make your wedding one that glorifies God above all! Download our Ketubah as...

It's finally here! Our wedding highlight video with narration. Those of you who couldn't physically attend can have a peek into our wedding day. We had a Hebraic themed wedding inspired by the story of the Bible. Next, we will also release a teaching video where we explain the ceremony in-depth and how each element was used to point back to Yeshua and the Biblical narrative. Stay tuned for that on...

This is one to share with your Christian friends (interview with a pastor in this video!). Halloween just ended, how was yours? I'll be honest, as being from South Africa and this being my official "first" Halloween, driving through our American neighborhood streets was a weird experience, almost like walking through the set of a horror movie. This all sparked my curiosity. So on Halloween, I drov...

So often, we think of ourselves as being responsible to pull out the tares from God's field. But the parable of the wheat & the tares told by Yeshua gives a different perspective. In this parable, the servants' first instinct was to pull out the tares as soon as they were spotted. However, the Master told them to wait lest they pull out the wheat along with the tares. Why did the master say th...

When we keep God's commandments, attend church, His feasts, do communion or whatever other religious rites, why do we do it? The heart's motivation for why we do what we do is just as important as what we actually do. Throughout scripture, we see examples of men who seemed religious and good - even so far as to be dining with the Messiah Himself, yet they’re hearts behind their actions were wicked...

Many have scratched their heads about Jesus' Parable of the Wineskins. And many have struggled to understand it for the same reason the Pharisees struggled. Ironically, the parable teaches us about why we sometimes struggle to understand the parables and things of God: When we try to grasp and explain kingdom matters with our fallen carnal minds, instead of the Spirit. "If I have told you earthly...

The Day of Atonement is an appointed time of God that reminds us to live lives that are holy, for we will all one day stand before God and be judged for every idle word we have spoken (Matt 12:36, 2 Cor 5:10). But also, we need to be reminded that God Himself will be the Great Judge. While we are to judge matters in our life righteously (John 7:24), Jesus spoke of the pointing of the finger often:...

After receiving the commandments from Mount Sinai, Israel desired to keep them. But they couldn't. No matter how hard they tried they continuously failed to stay free from sin. It seemed almost as if they merely transitioned from their mindset of slavery at Egypt to slavery to sin. This needs to make us stop and think as to whether we are trying to keep the law of God still as “slaves” and “orphan...

All over the world, there is a restoration of God's truth happening right now. Christians are starting to keep "Jewish" feasts, but why? And how is this biblical? In this video, we will discuss the historical reasons for the divisions between believing Jews and non-jews, and the biblical reasons for why we need to reconsider what we've been taught regarding the biblical festive times of God.

Perfectionism can take place at the cost of getting things done. It can leave us starting projects we never finish, or never even start due to the fear of failure, or not being "good enough". Jesus talked about it in Matthew 25, and stresses that we cannot allow fear to rule us to the point of where we "bury our talents in the ground." Don't be ruled by perfectionism, don't be afraid of making mis...

Jesus flipped tables, called the Pharisees snakes and Peter to "get behind me Satan". Yeshua flipped tables, so naturally, that gives us permission to be as rude/unloving/arrogant as we want to anyone who disagrees with us, right? We can bash people over the head with truth and if they don’t receive it, "well that's their fault." But who is this battle against, really? See, Jesus wasn't addressing...

Giving or “Tithing” today is a controversial matter. Many have been hurt in the past through prosperity teachings or betrayals and refuse to ever give again, others give a 10% “tithe”, and others a simple offering whenever led. But what is the responsibility of believers who receive teaching/edification in their faith from a minister? And should pastors or other full-time ministers receive salarie...

We live in a culture addicted to entertainment: From the latest movie to the latest festival, the entertainment industry is now a billion-dollar industry in the world, and much of Christianity has followed suit. Churches have exchanged "controversial" sermons on holiness for short-and-sweet feel-good motivational speeches, the depth of the word for smoke machines, and persued supernatural experien...

When Israel leaves Egypt, they rejoice in the freedom from Egypt's slavery but soon thereafter encounters something they didn't truly expect: A wilderness. No water, no food, just a desert ready to swallow them. In their minds, they only traded the curse of Egypt for the curse of the wilderness, and they complain and even rebel against God. Jesus also entered a wilderness. Even though He was free...

Feeling weak, without hope, without talent and therefore useless for the Kingdom of God? While our competitive world believes talents and skills equates to success, the Kingdom of God is upside down in this regard. Throughout scripture, we see God using people who didn't always have the necessary background or skills for jobs that they seem unqualified for. But what was God after? Humility. Skills...

Have you ever been to a store, you finished shopping, and you have everything you need to checkout. But as you approach the line, you see it extending further than you thought. But you look down upon your cart and items and decide: "What I have is important, I'm willing to wait." Do you feel like you're waiting in line for God? Throughout the scriptures, we have story upon story of characters like...

I would like to ask for prayer. I and my wife has been without our home for 2 weeks (going on 3) now. After coming back from a conference a month ago, we both got sick as soon as we entered our home and remained sick for about a week thereafter. We thought it was just down to the fact that we slept at an airport the previous night and our bodies were a little weak and vulnerable. However, thereaft...

Sometimes we pray, and God doesn't heal. But why? Scripture and the walk of Jesus Himself teaches us various reasons for why people are sick, and perhaps why they may not get healed immediately upon being prayed for. Here are 4 of those reasons.

When I was a teenager, I started reading conspiracy theories, it became a passion. I was spending much of my time on researching the next big thing, and as a Christian, I was convinced that I would be able to use my "revelations" to show people the deceptions of the world and thereby lead them to Christ. But then I realized, I was not effective for the Kingdom, I was not really doing what Yeshua d...
