In this parashah, we get into the birth of Esau and Jacob. Without a doubt one of the most well known stories in Torah. In the midst of everything going on, one of the things that stand out most is how Esau could so easily disregard his birthright for a little food. However, Torah never gives us the answer to this question, leaving us to to wonder and speculate for ourselves. As it would happen, there are other sources out there where these answers, as well as some other interesting things can b...

In this Parashah, we get into the life of Sarah. The beloved matriarch passes on, having had a great life. Abraham sends his servant to find a wife for Isaac from his family. Abraham dies not long after that, and then Ishamel. In the midst of all of this, there were a few interesting points to highlight and apply to our daily lives. Join me this week as we delve into the life of Sara--- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Hosted on Acas...

In this weeks Parashah, we dig into more of the life of Avraham. Isaac is finally born, and we also see Lot, and the destruction of Sodom.

In this weeks episode, we look at the 3rd installment of this series on the Torah Parashahs. In this segment, we dig into the call of Abram, and some of his earlier years prior to his call. We also look into some of the things in his life that influenced him to become a person fit for the call of Yehovah. Some of the content in this episode comes from extra biblical sources, to include several Jewish websites and literature dealing with the life of Abraham. Join me is we dig into the text and se...

This is the first episode on my series of teachings on the weekly Torah parashah. With the last of the Holy Days for this year coming to an end, we will be going through the entire Torah beginning with Genesis, and ending at Deuteronomy. This Parasha is called B'reshit (B'-reh-sheet) in Hebrew, which basically means "in the beginning". The names for the books of Torah are usually named for specific words within the first few sentences of the first verse of a chapter.--- This episode is sponsored...

As we wrap up the last of God's mo'edim, we briefly reflect on some of the things that stand out about this holy day. At close examination, there are so many connections to the ministry of Yeshua in various aspects found throughout each of these days that one can't help but wonder why we would not want to observe them. We also learn that of all of the holy days, this specific mo'edim will be observed in the kingdom reign of Yeshua, but this, not just by the Jews, but by ALL of creation.--- This ...

As the first day of Sukkot begins, we look at the connection between this most holiest of days in connection to the possible birth of Yeshua. Although there is a lot of debate on this coming from both Messianic Believers and Christian alike, one still cannot ignore the possibilities of it being true, based on quite a bit of Scriptural evidence. One thing for sure though, even if it is NOT on the first day of Sukkot, we know without a doubt that it is NOT on the 25th of December--- This episode i...

In this episode, we reflect on some afterthoughts for this year's Yom Kippur observance. This was definitely a year unlike any other since I have been a Torah Observant Believer. There were quite a few things that stood out to me this year, as I viewed various online services, and felt totally compelled to share them.--- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Hosted on Acast.

In this segment, we revise some of the info brought out on a previous teaching of the same name. As we continue to study the proper name of the Creator, more segments will be added to this teaching. With much confusion on the proper name of the Creator, I wholeheartedly believe that this topic is well worth the research. Contrary to the views of the many, the name of Yehovah was given to us to speak, to pray, and to vow in, but how can we do this if we can't even agree on what to call Him. And w...

Join me this morning as I kick off Yom Teruah with a pre service episode on some of the history of this day, as well as answer the question on whether or not we as a non-Jewish body of believers should observe this holy day--- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Hosted on Acast.

As we prepare for the beginning of the "Fall Feast", it only seemed right to do a teaching about exactly when they begin. There is a cloud of debate surrounding what day Yom Teruah, or Rosh HaShana, as it's known today, actually begins. A majority of people, comprising of both Orthodox Jews and Messianic Jews prefer to rely on the calendar, however, there are still others, like myself, that prefer the method of sighting the New Moon as a marker, much like ancient Israel did. In this segment, ...

After a long break from the Book of Galatians, we dig back into D. Thomas Lancaster's book comprised of various teachings that he has taught on the book over the years. Rather than doing an individual study on this book, it made more sense to just read what he had to say and elaborate on it when needed. The book of Galatians is one of the most misunderstood books in the Bible, yet something that must be tackled to give mainstream Christianity a deeper understanding of what the Apostle Paul wa...

Inspired by Deuteronomy 16-18, we discuss the perversion of justice as it relates to our world today. Torah outlined what justice looked like and how the land would prosper. The founding fathers mirrored the Torah's concepts of justice to great degree, and because of this, the nation prospered to the point of becoming a great nation and a super power. As the decades past on, we began to revise and amend this system to fit the ideals of the people today, and as a result, we have began to decline....

With there being such a debate going on about the relevance of Torah, as it relates to non-Jews, it just seemed high time to address this issue. it would seem both sides have similar views on whether or not Torah observance is for the non Jews or not. For the Church, the view is that Torah ended with Yeshua on the cross, therefore it is irrelevant. To the Messianic Jew, it would seem that the see it as being optional but not necessary. With respect to both views, we take a dive into history, the...

With so many people fully persuaded that the Apostle Paul championed the idea that the Torah/Law was ended at the cross, a serious question needs to be asked. Who's following who? According to the teachings of Yeshua, His Apostles, formerly being Disciples were commanded to likewise make Disciples of men, and teach them what He had taught them. If their guidance was to teach men, what He taught them, and then one of them goes out and teaches contrary to His own teachings, and then we decide to f...

Going a different direction, we step into no mans land and address the influence of the LGBTQ community in a world thats intimidated by cancel culture. As a body of believers, it is urgent now more than ever that we take a stand for the word of God in a world that is becoming more and more intolerable of the word of God. As many churches grow silent out of the fear of cancel culture, the time has come to choose a side and take a stand, regardless how society tries to intimidate us. The word of G...

In this episode, we take a look at a few core church teachings, and match them up with things the Bible teaches as it relates to them. The beginning statement "what if", followed by a current belief held today causes us to take a deep look into our personal theology, to see if the knowledge of the truth would cause us to make the necessary change to align with the text, or would we simply brush it off because it takes to much effort to change. As we look at these points, I believe that as believ...

This episode is a re-recording from a message I did in church yesterday. After doing it in church, I really felt that it was something I needed to share on this podcast. I would also like to make it possible for any of you hearing this message to be able to contact me with any questions, concerns, you may have from this episode, or any other episode I have done. I would also encourage you to share this podcast on your social media platforms, like and subscribe to get notifications of future epis...

In this very special edition, in observance of Shavuot (Pentecost), we start things off with the first "Table Talk" episode of season 5. Todays topic addresses the "Why's" of the ministry that YHVH has entrusted me with. We as Torah Observant Believers are called not just to become reacquainted to the Hebrew Roots of the faith, but to take it back to the very churches that we have come from. In reflecting on my experiences with my former church, I felt that a segment like this was needed.--- ...

After a long pause from our study on this book, we finally pick up where we left off. As one of the most misunderstood letters written by Paul, many believers have an extreme misconception of what Paul was trying to express to this Gentile Church. One of the first things that need to be understood is that this was NOT a Jewish, but rather a Gentile congregation, and as such, there were a lot of erroneous theologies brewing in this congregation that Paul needed to dispel. As we recap our previous...

In this bonus episode, we re-visit the debate on the name of God, and the "does it really matter" response that most people give when their argument gets shut down. True enough, it is NOT a heaven or hell issue, but at the same time, if it was NOT meant for man to use it, then why would God so freely give it to us? Knowing one's name denotes intimacy and familiarity with a person, and from what is revealed about God in the text, these are two things He definitely desires from His people. The ...

In this episode, we take a look at some of the views that Churchianity has on both Torah and the Jews. We look at how a bulk of church theology stems from a lack of understanding of Scriptures from a Hebrew perspective. Because of this, many believers have a cloudy understanding of some of the deeper aspects of what is written in the text. This understanding was robbed from the church the moment that the Hebrew roots of our faith was divorced from the church. The church was never intended to be ...

In considering some of the words of the wisest man to ever live, we take a look at the state of the world today. In taking on a "State Of The Church" approach, we look at some of the issues we are facing in the world today. As we draw closer to the return of the Messiah, we find that almost everyone has a voice as it relates to their views on how things should be in the world today. With a President in office trying to accommodate everyone, we find ourselves drifting further and further from God...
