Messianic Audio Teachings

Clement of Rome briefly recaps the stories of the persecutions and trials endured by Peter and Paul and the disciples in the Neronic persecution and Circus Neronis. This lesson covers 1 Clement 5-8 and includes important Apostolic Era tradition, teachings on repentance, and the efficacious nature of the suffering of the Messiah for salvation in all generations. 

Psalm 110 is the most frequently quoted text in the New Testament. Why? And what did Yeshua mean when he quoted it to challenge the concept of a Davidic Messiah?

David himself, in the Holy Spirit, declared, 'The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, until I put your enemies under your feet.' David himself calls him Lord. So how is he his son? (Mar 12:36-37)

Listen to a study of Hebrews 4:14-5:6 which unwraps Psalm 110 and introduces the priesthood of Messiah. The Messiah Psalm offers discussion about the Messianic interpretation of Psalm 110 as it appears in the teaching of Yeshua (Mark 12) and the Epistle of Hebrews.

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 is Yeshua called "the only begotten Son"? What do we mean when we say that he is "the Son of God"? And how does his death on a cross provide forgiveness for sins? Here's a quick crash-course on Messianic Christology, that is to say, Messiahology. Listen to the audio and/or download the PDF version of the teaching below. 

The kingdom of heaven prior to the final redemption can be likened to a partisan movement, such as Robin Hood and his men or the European freedom fighters that fought in Nazi occupied territory. The Partisans is a teaching on Hebrews 2 in light of Psalm 8 and the parable of the ten minas in Luke 19 concerning all things in subjection to the Son and the revelation of the kingdom.

We have this common goal, this common purpose. We have received the dispatch. The king is on the throne, and he is on the way here. If we will be loyal to him now, we are part of his kingdom. But he has not yet arrived. There is another king on the throne, who holds the power of death, and we are the resistance movement, loyal to the incoming king because we know that, even though this enemy and pretender, this contender for the throne still holds power, his rule is over, he has lost his authority, and his time is quickly coming to an end.

Why is the healing of the man at the pool of Bethesda a sign, and why did Yeshua tell the man to break the Shabbat by carrying his mat? Take a trip to first century Jerusalem in the text of John 5.

What's the differences between "the quick and the dead"? With a chasidic spin on salvation, here's an important teaching about the soul of every human being and "The Quickening" that we seek as the disciples of the Messiah.  

Where would Jesus go to church? Everyone knows that Beth Immanuel Messianic Synagogue is "too Jewish," but is it too Jewish for Yeshua and the Apostles? This second teaching in the series "It's Too Jewish" tries to get to the bottom of the problem of "too Jewish" and explain the kingdom-based rationale behind a traditional "orthodox-styled" Messianic Jewish syangogue. At the same time, we consider the need for a more culturally adaptable expression of our faith for the other seven billion people on planet earth.
