What the apostles of Yeshua decided to do was based off of what prophet Moses did back in his day. The leaders in a community should always carry righteous qualities and characteristics, in order to set a good example for everyone following.&nb...

To close out this series on Pentecost I take time to answer the three most common objections I hear against the view I take. Pay attention closely because there are some key points in how to do proper Bible study in this lesson.

I take a look at some key Scriptures about the harvest timing of both wheat and grapes, showing the connection between an ancient prophecy and the Apostle Peter’s preaching.

What if the numbering of the fifty days doesn’t take place until after the seventh Sabbath? This lesson walks through the narrative in the book of Exodus surrounding Mount Sinai, going through several points that lead me in this direction.

I continue teaching on Pentecost here, specifically looking at what is counted as commanded in both Leviticus and Deuteronomy. I also go into some points concerning lunar vs. Saturday sabbath.

In Acts 6 we turn a new leaf. Peter has been doing a lot of preaching, but we now get into an aspect of how some important matters were handled in the early, Messianic community. Listen to learn of how the Apostles actually took their cue here ...

I focus in on the various positions throughout history among groups that have been committed to counting for Pentecost. Towards the end I talk about the position our assembly takes and why.

This sermon encourages us to not let go of the commandments that are directly from a person to Yahweh, and then goes over the four different names given to the second of the three major annual festivals in Yahweh’s honor. 

The Apostles are in trouble again for spreading the message about the death and resurrection of Yeshua of Nazareth, and they almost get the death sentence, but a wise man stand up for them in their time of trouble. Listen to learn how we should...

In this lesson I close out the three part mini-series covering the timetable of Yeshua’s death and resurrection by looking at the popular text in which he says he’ll spend three days and nights in the heart of the earth. How does that fit in wi...

The Apostles go on trial for preaching about Yeshua, specifically about indicting the Jewish leaders with his murder. They’ve disobeyed the ruling of the Sanhedrin, which is punishable by death according to Torah. How in the world then are they...

I give a brief quotation from Emperor Constantine’s letter to the churches after the council of Nicaea, contrasting it with Holy Scripture, and then move into understanding more about the timeline of Yeshua’s death and resurrection.

As I begin to teach on the “Feast of Harvest” (Weeks, Pentecost) I talk about matters relating to the beginning of the count to this Feast. Why was Easter celebrated this year about eight days after Passover? Listen to learn how the Feast seque...

We are commanded to not have empty hands when Yahweh’s Feasts roll around. What exactly does this mean? Listen to learn about both the abuse and proper use of tithes and offerings.

The Sanhedrin assembles to put Yeshua’s Apostles on trial… but when they go to get them from a jail cell, they are nowhere to be found.

The Apostles, though faced with persecution, continue to teach the people about their life in Yeshua. Sometimes miracles happen in the life of the follower. Sometimes they come in the form of a heavenly messenger. 

A summarized view of how to calculate the month of Abib. The Hebrew words abib, chodesh, yerach, yareach, mēn, neumēnia, tequpha, shanah, and more are covered.

I go over one key aspect of the first, commanded, annual Festival on Yahweh’s calendar. I also look at how sin creeps into our lives, sometimes unknowingly, so we should always be on guard (protect mode).

I give a brief overview of the three major, annual Festivals in honor of Yahweh, and then I look at an objection and question I’ve heard for a long time now. Are we allowed to keep the Feasts outside the promised land?

Many signs and wonders were being performed by the Apostles, and they were praised highly, but at the same time many of the Jews didn’t want to join them. Why? This lesson takes a look at why people were context to only get into the shadow of t...

This is a text I was made to memorize in Christian school, but I believe it’s a text that most Christians don’t truly understand. Any-time is a good time to meditate (speak of, think on, memorize, etc.) Yahweh’s teachings, instructions, and gui...

I consider both the standard, Christian interpretation of this text as well as the common “Hebrew Roots” interpretation, and then walk through and give an alternate understanding. Hosea 6:6 is paramount here. It must be understood that in the r...

I’ve had so many discussions about this over the last 27+ years, but I’ve never taught one cohesive sermon on it. That changes with this lesson. I give my reasons for my practice while respecting those who genuinely disagree due to their own st...

I take a look at and give a Scriptural answer to this question I often receive. What does Scripture say about cooking on the Sabbath? Yes, I deal with the verse about kindling a fire.

In contrast to Barnabus’ devotion to the Apostolic community, Ananias and Sapphira try to be deceptive and end up in a bad place. We should always be honest with what Yahweh has entrusted us with. Our vows should be upheld in fear and reverence...
