Torah Awakenings

The Ruach HaKodesh, or Holy Spirit as it is known is possibly one of the most misunderstood persons of the Godhead. Many churches understand Him and His operations from Western world perspective, completely separated from the Hebraic description given in Scripture. In today's segment, we attempt to shed a little more light on just who He is, and just how He was intended to operate in our live...

Wrapping up Galatians 2:16-21. The Apostle Peter ponce wrote concerning the Apostle Paul, that his writings were hard to understand, and that those who are unlearned twist them to thier own demise. With this in mind, the fact that those referred to as the "unlearned" were Gentiles, like us, who did "not" have a backaground in Torah, nor were the Torah literate, can we really th...

Taking on a study through Paul's Epistle to the Galatians, Chapter 1:1-2:15. This is one of the most interesting, yet misunderstood of Paul's epistles. The content addressed in this letter is more often misunderstood by the modern church, causing many to have a misconception of what Paul is trying to get across. To help understnad this epistle, we take a look at the audience, to find out...

Many people misunderstand the meaning of the dream Peter had in Acts 10. Common teaching on this subject is that mankind was given the green light to eat whatever they want. But is this really what the text is saying? Churchianity believes that there are no food restrictions any more, but the question has to be asked, where did this teaching come from? Did the Paul change this Law? And if so, by w...

In the midst of all the division and confusion surrounding when Passover is, and when the counting of the Omer begins, I just thought this would be a great topic to touch on to bring clarity according to the Texts. With so many views being held on when to and not to do things, we will go to the Bible to see what it  says, as opposed to church leadership. In this way, we can see and discern for our...

Most believers of Yeshua have heard of Passover, yet have no idea what it is all about. The church has taught that Passover is a "Jewish" holy day, yet are oblivious to the fact that YHVH Himself addresses this holy day, as well as seven other holy days as "His appointed times" or "Feasts of the YHVH". Interestingly enough, they have been written off as being Jewish o...

WHen reading the Scriptures, one of the primary focuses should always be Biblical context. Many believers rewad the Bible, but fall short of looking at the context of what is being said, and because of this, come out with an innaccurate understanding of what the Bible is teaching us.another aspect is that we fail to understand the Bible's foundation, which is the Torah. Everything stems from...

What if I were to tell you that there were 2 Jesus'? Not necessarily in the literal sense, but rather in observances. Most of us know that Jesus was born in Bethlehem, to Jewish woman, who was also a descendant of David. We know that He both lived and died there, and that His entire life was based in Jewish life, which included religeous techings and observances. But the Jesus we know today l...

When reading the Bible, one of the most important things to understand is that the entire word of God is hinged on the Torah, commonly referred to as the Law of Moses. Of the 66 chapters that make up the complete Bible, everything surrounds the Torah. The writers of the New Testament, to include both Yeshua and Paul, build every argument, every teaching and every doctrine from it's writings....

Many believers believe that the "Law" was ended by Yeshua at the cross, but is that really what He came to do? For well over a thousand years, this theology has been preached and taught across many a pulpits, as well as taught in many seminary schools, but today we are going to look at some of the words of Yeshua, concerning His purpose, as well as the Apostle Paul and his words on this...

With so much tension and division going on in our nation, many of us have lost focus of what matters most, as a result have inadvertantly opened the door for some things that may have some long term reprecussions. In this bonus segment, we address some of the events unfolding this past week, in the form of Bills passed from our President. This was not done to bash our President, but rather to make...

This week, while reading my Torah portion, I really inspired to do a teaching from some of the content that it covered. Most people know that Yeshua / Jesus was the "Passover" Lamb of God, but most really do not understand the correlation between the Passover lamb offered in Egypt, and the ministry / crucifixion of Yeshua. With this in mind, today we will go into more depth on this topic...

In todays episode, we take a closer look at just exactly what is Torah. To some, the belief is that it was something meant to save us, while to to others, it is actually a code of conduct. This debate spans as far back as the time of Paul, and still exists today in many circles, but we are going to take this on, and set the record straight once and for all--- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor:...

In this episode we discuss women in leadership positions in the church. For centuries, women have been neglected and kept in bondage as it relates to leadership positions in the church. There has been a debate about can women pastor churches? Did Paul really mean that women cant lead ministries? Today we look into this teaching to find out what Paul really meant about women being silent in church,...

In the light of all the mess that took place last week, i felt that there was another angle to look at things from. With the nation divided like never before, could there be something at work in the spiritual realm?--- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Hosted on Acast.

Replacement theology has run rampant throughout the church. Many churches teach a gospel that implies that the covenant that God made with Israel ended at the cross and was transferred to the church. For well over a thousand years, this was what the church of Rome taught, even being so bold to self proclaim itself as the "mother church", but is this indeed what the Scriptures teach? Paul...

During this time of year, I've noticed a Facebook trend where on most Messianic Believers tend to attack Christians for celebrating Christmas. Not wanting to jump on the bandwagon, I thought it better to focus on the day chosen to observe the birth of Messiah. The question posed is this, with so much info out there concerning the origins of December 25th, and the pagan roots connected to it,...

I have found that most believers have no clue about what Hanukkah is all about, and as a result, just ignore this day as if it didn't even exist. Something else not known is that had the events leading up to Hanukkah not taken place, we probably never would have gotten a Messiah. The story of Hanukkah is truly an amazing one,  in that the courage of a handful of common people, fought off a va...

Ever wonder if there were any other writings from the Apostles, to the gentile church? There is actually a well known and respected document known as the Didache, cited by the early church fathers as far back as the second and third century, and believed to be written by the twelve. Even within the epistles of the apostles, to include Paul, there are hints that this was most likely the guideline u...

Does the Biblical concept of "tithing" apply to the NT church? What is the origins of tithing, and are we following the actual format for it? What does the NT say about tithing, and how it relates apart from the temple? --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Hosted on Acast.

There is long going debate on the length of Yeshua's ministry. The majority of people agree with 3 to 3½ years, but is there a way to actually determine this? In this segment, we will search Torah to see if any hints are given that can be used to find an answer --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Hosted on Acast.

With so many theologies concerning heaven, we examine the Scriptures, to see if heaven really is our future home or not.

While doing a brief study on Matthew 26, we address a narrative conflicting with Torah teaching. Apart from having an understanding of Torah law, one might be totally oblivious to the conflicting text. As we address this text, we unpack what really went on, and through the lenses of Torah, find a more clearer truth--- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https:...
