By Water and Fire
Recorded 06/05/2019 • Posted 06/06/2019
Number 11 in the series I Will Follow You

If you just want to fit in with everyone and go with the flow, discipleship probably is not going to work for you. Disciples of Yeshua are consistently part of the minority and outside the concensus of social norms. Why is that? Here's a quick teaching on the concept of "the Fear of the LORD" and how God punishes the wicked by water and fire. 

Let him learn how God punished the wicked by water and fire and glorified the righteous in each generation: I mean Seth, Enosh, Enoch, Noah, Abraham and his kin, Melchizedek, Job, Moses, both Joshua and Caleb, Phinehas the priest, and the holy ones in each generation. (Apostolic Constitutions)

Eternal Life
Recorded 06/05/2019 • Posted 06/06/2019
Number 12 in the series I Will Follow You

When humanity sinned and went off the rails, why didn't God just delete us and start over? Here's a quick look at the plan of redemption and the good news of obtaining eternal life through Yeshua. 

God did not abandon the human race but summoned them at various times from error and folly into an understanding of truth, leading them from slavery and wickedness into freedom and piety, from iniquity into righteousness, from eternal death into everlasting life. (Apostolic Constitutions)

Recorded 05/22/2019 • Posted 05/23/2019
Number 7 in the series I Will Follow You

The Jurisdiction of Different Laws
Recorded 05/22/2019 • Posted 05/23/2019

The Unbegotten God
Recorded 05/08/2019 • Posted 05/09/2019

The Born Again World
Recorded 04/21/2019 • Posted 04/06/2020
Number 2 in the series Born Agains

The secret of what it means to be "born again" is contained in the story of the resurrection of Yeshua. This teaching from the second day of Passover 2019 unpacks the apostolic-era meaning of the term "born again" while urging us to take hold of "an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading." 

What does it mean to be Born Again?
Recorded 04/20/2019 • Posted 04/06/2020
Number 1 in the series Born Agains

"Unless a person is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." So what does it mean to be born again. This teaching from Passover 2019 explains how being "born again" is a Passover experience and why the festival of Passover is the born again festival. Part one of a two part teaching.

The Life Review (Cheshbon HaNefesh)
Recorded 01/13/2019 • Posted 01/13/2019
Number 6 in the series The World of Souls

"My whole life flashed before my eyes!" In the World of Souls, everyone gives an account for all the deeds committed in the body. This teaching compares the Jewish concept of Cheshbon HaNefesh (Account of the Soul) with reports of Near Death Experiences in which a person goes through a complete life review.  

The Seventh Sign
Recorded 01/09/2019 • Posted 02/06/2019
Number 7 in the series Seven Signs of Messiah

The Seventh Sign is the resurrection of Yeshua, but what does the resurrection of Yeshua really mean? What does it signify, what does it accomplish, and why is it a sign? Here's a few deep thoughts about the big event and the conclusion to the series "Seven Signs of the Messiah."

The Unapproachable Light
Recorded 01/05/2019 • Posted 01/29/2019
Number 7 in the series The World of Souls

Heaven and Hell are a heartbeat away! Most people who visit the World of Souls desribe "going into the Light," a being of pure love, but not every Near Death Experience is so positive. What does the scripture teach us about the Great Light? And what do Near Death Experiences tell us about the other side of the great divide? 

The blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone possesses immortality and dwells in unapproachable light. (1 Timothy 6:15-16)
