Recorded 12/22/2012 • Posted 12/30/2022

The authentic Gospel of Peter is not the aporcryphal gospel known by that title. Instead, it's already in your Bible. In this teaching from Tevet 9, December 22, 2012, we take a look at the story behind the composition of the Gospel of Mark.

Includes apostolic midrash on parashat Korach and a lost saying of Yeshua. Download the original handout from the 2013 class below.

Number 37 in the series Apocalypse of John

Fallen, fallen is Babylon the Great! Her smoke rises to heaven forever.

The nations lament over the fall of "Babylon the Great," and Revelation 18 eulogizes the city in the language and taunts fo the prophets of old. This teaching takes students on a tour of Bible prophecies to set the stage for the climactic collapse of the great city that sits upon seven hills, drunk with the blood of the saints, apostles and prophets, and seducing the nations with materialism, wealth, and immorality.

Number 3 in the series Apocalypse of John

Does the book of Revelation describe the future, the past, or the future of the past? Why did many people in the early church want to reject the book of Revelation? This teaching summarizes different interpretative approaches to the book and examines the early church's theological objections to the kingdom of heaven.

Number 6 in the series Romans

What does it mean to be "baptised" into Messiah? What is the Messianic Jewish view of baptism? What do we mean when we say that we are "dead to sin"? This study in Romans 6 begins with an overview of the Jewish concept of immersion in the mikvah as a backdrop for Paul's discussion about immersion into Messiah, the new life, and the resurrection.

Bartholomew did not change his clothes for 26 years. An old Christian tradition about the martyrdom of Bartholomew preserves a legend about the miraculous clothing worn by the apostles, pointing us to the hope of the resurrection from the dead.

2 Peter 1:5 instructs us to add "virtue" or "excellence" to our faith. But what does that mean, exactly? Take a linguistic journey through the sources to find the Jewish heart at the core of this concept.

Number 32 in the series Holy Epistle to the Hebrews

Does the New Covenant really have better promises than the old? What are the better promises? How well do you really know the new covenant?

The book of Hebrews says that the Messiah has obtained a more excellent priesthood than the Aaronic priesthood because he is the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises (Hebrews 8:6). This discourse takes a closer look at the better promises of the new covenant as described in the prophecies of Jeremiah.

This lecture later became part of the First Fruits of Zion audio-teaching What About the New Covenant?

Number 11 in the series Galatians

Have you been "bewitched" by legalism, as Paul says: "O foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you" (Galatians 3:1)? This teaching offers a look at how Paul seemingly contrasts the Spirit with the Torah in first verses of Galatians 3.

A new Sukkot teaching about how the mitzvah to rejoice during the festival of Sukkot opens the secret to inner joy and the spirit of the Messianic Era. 

Recorded 10/01/2012 • Posted 10/18/2019

Why do we celebrate the birth of Yeshua on the first day of the festival of Sukkot, and why do we remember the day of the giving of his name on the eighth day of Sukkot? Listen to this teaching to learn about the literary evidence that points to early Jewish disciples of Yeshua celebrating the festival of Sukkot as the season of our Master's birth.

Locust plague, pestilence and disease, a river of blood, earthquakes and storms -- the ten plauges on Egypt? No. It's the headlines from the news. This teaching for Parashat Vayikra looks at the current signs of the times and the "Birth Pangs of Messiah" and tries to place it all in context.

Recorded 06/05/2020 • Posted 06/05/2020

An international pandemic, riots in American cities, Chinse brinkmanship, rivers in Russia turn blood red, canibal rats in the streets, the American flag torn assunder, the Washington Monument struck by lightning--it's all in another week of the signs of the times during the birth pangs of Messiah.

Number 5 in the series Walking with God

"How could I sin againt God," Joseph asks. This teaching zooms in on Joseph's God-centered optimistic persepctive and emphazises "bitachon," the art of trusting God for the good as we learn to walk with God. 

Recorded 03/04/2012 • Posted 03/29/2016
Number 6 in the series Death of the Messiah

What does the death of the Messiah mean to you? What does it accomplish for us? This teaching takes a serious look into the meaning of Passover and being born again through Yeshua.

Number 33 in the series Apocalypse of John

In the way of encouragement for those who must sacrifice their lives rather than accept the mark of the beast or worship his image, the Apocalypse of John grants a glimpse of the final redemption, the coming of the Messiah, the Lamb on Mount Zion with the 144,000, and the defeat of Gog and Magog.

Number 2 in the series Apocalypse of John

Why was John on the Island of Patmos? The tribulation was already underway in 95 AD. This teaching tells the story behind the book of Revelation from Roman histories, Church legend, and the Chronicles of the Apostles. The story of the Domitian persecution provides clues to unlock the meaning of the book of Revelation.

I, John, your brother and partner in the tribulation and the kingdom and the patient endurance that are in Jesus, was on the island called Patmos on account of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus. (Revelation 1:9)

It's common in the Messianic Jewish movement to state that the leaven which must be cast out at Passover symbolizes sin, but a closer look at the New Testament indicates a different symbolism at work. This teaching considers the spiritual significance of chametz (leaven) and matzah (unleavened bread) in connection with the festival of Passover.
