Folks, what does it mean for God to circumcise the heart?  We just talked about circumcision of the heart in the last podcast.  It comes from Deuteronomy, chapter 30.  Moses wrote that.  As many of you know, Deuteronomy is the last of the five books of Moses, also known as the Torah.  Let’s read the verse from Deuteronomy again: Deuteronomy 30:6 NKJV And the LORD your God will circumcise your hear...

My dear brothers and sisters, we just recently talked about “Where was God on October 7, 2023, and where was God during the Holocaust?”.  I talked with you about the need for salvation which leads to eternal life.  I pleaded with you not to follow those people who say, “I can’t believe in Yeshua (Jesus).  Jewish people don’t believe in Jesus”.  So, let me ask those of you who still believe that, a...

Where was God on October 7? To my dear Jewish brothers and sisters: A question keeps surfacing since the October 7, 2023 Hamas massacre of innocent Israeli’s in Southern Israel.  It is the same question that is asked about the Holocaust.  The question is “Where was God?” I want to try to answer that question today and it won’t be easy.  Telling the truth is never easy and receiving it can be even...

Rabbi Harold Vallins OCTOBER 4, 2012 BY  MARTIN ROTH by Martin Roth – published by permission What happens when a modern-day Jewish Rabbi accepts Jesus into his life? For Rabbi Harold Vallins of Melbourne it caused great suffering–the loss of his wife, his congregation and many of his friends. Yet it has also brought about the deep-seated feeling that through taking Jesus as his Messiah his Judais...

Hebrews 1:7 Hi Folks.  We’re finally up to verse 7 of Hebrews, chapter one.  I’m going to read it in the NIV: Hebrews 1:7 (NIV) In speaking of the angels he says, "He makes his angels spirits, and his servants flames of fire." I’d like to ask you a question.  How can we explain this verse to someone?  How can we expound it or dig the meaning out of it?  I don’t think that is necessarily an easy th...

Hi Folks. I’m excited for us to move on to the next two verses of Hebrews together today so let’s start by reading them. We’re using the NKJV today: Hebrews 1:4-5 (NKJV) having become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. [5] For to which of the angels did He ever say: "YOU ARE MY SON, TODAY I HAVE BEGOTTEN YOU"? And again: "I WILL BE TO...

Hi Folks. We’re continuing on in the New Testament letter to the Hebrews today so let’s read verse 3 of chapter 1: Hebrews 1:3 (NIV) ‌ The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word.

Introduction ‌Hebrews is an amazing book. It is a book of contrasts. It contrasts the Old Covenant given through Moses with the New Covenant first prophesied through Jeremiah in the Hebrew Scriptures and later inaugurated by Yeshua at the last supper, a Passover seder, and at the cross. It was written to Jewish people not long before the second Jewish Temple was destroyed by Rome in 70 AD. Some sc...

I need to talk with you today about something called imminence . Perhaps you have heard people who believe in the pretribulation rapture say that the rapture is imminent . Or perhaps you haven’t heard that. Either way is OK. But I believe that it’s important to know about imminence so we’re going to talk about it today. There is a Biblical definition of imminence , at least a definition that can b...

Hi Folks.  I hope you are doing well today. A question has come up repeatedly from interested readers and listeners concerning some verses in the famous 24th chapter of the Gospel of Matthew – Jesus’ Olivet Discourse - which deals with His return and with the end of the age.  Let’s read those verses: Matthew 24:40-41 (NKJV) Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left.

Hebrews 6:4-8 is a difficult passage.  Some believe that it teaches that a born again person can lose his salvation.  Others believe that it teaches that the people described are saved and will lose the blessings of walking with Messiah including loss of eternal rewards but not the loss of salvation.  Others teach that the people described were never saved to begin with.  Listen as Art takes you t...
