Number 7 in the series It's Too Jewish!

"Who is a Jew?" Its a controversial question within both mainstream Judaism and within Messianic Judaism. But if we can't answer the question, "Who is a Jew?", we can't really answer the question, "Who is a Gentile?", nor can we define the Messianic Jewish movement as authentically Jewish. Here's an hour long teaching that takes a deep-dive into the subject with some practical guidance for navigating Jewish identity at Beth Immanuel and in the broader Messianic Jewish movement.

There's a direct connection between the death of the Messiah and the destruction of the Temple. The story of the fall of Jerusalem and the destruction of the Temple gets to the heart of the meaning of the crucifixion of Yeshua. Listen to this unedited recording of a live presentation to a Beth Immanuel Green Room class on the afternoon of Tisha B'Av 2019.

Time to take stock and determine who is still with us "after the plague." 

Ask not, "What benefits do I get as a Beth Immanuel member." Ask, "What benefits does Beth Immanuel get from my membership?"

Then it came about after the plague, that the LORD spoke to Moses and to Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying, “Take a census of all the congregation ..." (Numbers 26:1-2)

Number 11 in the series Ephesians

Why does Paul tell the Gentile disciples in Ephesus that they must no longer live as Gentiles? What's that supposed to mean? In what way are Gentile disciples of Yeshua supposed to live like Jews? The answer may surprise you.

The call to discipleship demands spiritual maturity. Here's how the commissioning of an Elite Spiritual Special Forces Unit of shlichim emmisaries for proclaiming the good news can help insultate us from assimilation and apostasy.

Number 10 in the series Ephesians

In this teaching from Ephesians, we take a tour through the book of Acts to discover how the Gift of the Holy Spirit was transmitted through the disciples of Yeshua, through the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, teachers, pastors, who first received it during the outpouring that took place on Shavuot.

Number 9 in the series Ephesians

"And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers," It's commonly taught that Ephesians 4:11 presents fivefold gifts of ministry for leadership and service in a congregation. But is that really what it means? A post-supersessionist perspective on the passage comes to a completely different conclusion.

Number 8 in the series Ephesians

An obscure Midrash about Moses is concealed behind Paul's cryptic allusion to Psalm 68 in Ephesians 4:9-10. Here's an apostolic teaching about the ascension of the Messiah which likens it to Moses ascended Mount Sinai.

"Why being born a Gentile is the most fantastic and amazing thing that ever happened to you." Yisroel Amic draws together themes from several different recent Beth Immanuel teachings to offer counsel for the non-Jews struggling to find their place in the Messianic Jewish synagogue.

Number 7 in the series Ephesians

How does a disciple of Yeshua live? Here's a quick introduction to the rules of mussar for the disciples of Yeshua as presented in the fourth chapter of the Epistle to the Ephesians.

Number 6 in the series Ephesians

There's deep Jewish mysticism at work in apostolic theology. In this teaching from Ephesians 3, Paul invites us for a swim in deep waters  as he attempts to persuade the Gentile disciples in Ephesus to see themselves as more than "just Gentiles."

Number 5 in the series Ephesians

What does it mean to be a "fellow heir" with Israel and part of "the commonwealth of Israel"? There's a right way and a wrong way to interpret Paul's analogies. We've tried the wrong way before. Let's try the right way. Take a trip through Ephesians 3:1-13 to uncover the "Mystery of Christ" which was "hidden in God" for ages past.

Number 4 in the series Ephesians

What is God's purpose in saving you? Turns out that God had a plan all along. The Passover story and the good news of the kingdom contain God's plan for universal domination, a plan in which the nations play a critical part. The "mystery of the gospel" and the "eternal purpose of God" presented in Ephesians 3 reveal the meaning of the redemption and the significance of the Gentile disciples in the whole plan.

Number 3 in the series Ephesians

Christ has "abolished in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility" and "the law of commandments expressed in ordinances" in order to make Jew and Gentile into "one new man" built together into a "holy temple ... a dwelling place for God." There's a lot of room for misunderstanding Ephesians 2:14-15. Here's a teaching to clear it up and make sense of the passage without falling into the predictable patterns of Replacement Theology.

Number 2 in the series Ephesians

Lesson two in our read-thru of Ephesians. If we understood the full implication of our salvation through Yeshua, we would not be concerned with status, prestige, social class or caste, nationality or ancestry, because the exaltatio of Messiah transcends all of that.

Number 1 in the series Ephesians

A  reading of Ephesians 1 focusing on the pronouns reveals a new persepctive on Paul's message to the Gentile community of Ephesus. 

Recorded 02/19/2021 • Posted 02/19/2021

If salvation is not intended to get us into heaven, what's the point? This teaching introduces the concept of the exile of God' Dwelling Presence, and the objective of the commandment to build a sanctuary. 

Recorded 02/12/2021 • Posted 02/12/2021

Taking a fresh look at salvation of the soul from the Jewish perspective reveals a completely different way of understanding the teaching of Yeshua and the message of the apostles. 

Recorded 01/30/2021 • Posted 01/29/2021
