BibleInteractBibleInteractThe 4 Interpretations of Paul's letter to the GalatiansThere are four traditional interpretations of Paul's work in Galatians. Paul is trying to tell us something about the law and the works of the law and that has generated significant confusion despite four common interpretive positions. Which one do you agree with? Which interpretation is the right one? 2021-03-1221 minBibleInteractBibleInteractPaul's Return to TarsusAfter three years in Damascus, Paul appeared in Jerusalem to engage in discussion with Paul and James, who then sent Paul to his hometown of Tarsus. Paul responded to this crisis (as he responded to many other crisis throughout his ministry) by seeking God for direction and searching the scriptures for deeper meaning. 2021-03-0519 minBibleInteractBibleInteractPaul's Return to DamascusAfter Paul returns from Mount Sinai to talk with God, he returns to Damascus for 3 years, giving him enough distance from the intense scrutiny from the Christian leadership in Jerusalem as well as learning a tent making trade that would help fund his travels. 2021-02-2615 minBibleInteractBibleInteractWhat did Paul do at Mount Sinai?Before going into Paul's teachings and use of midrash, it is important to understand Paul's history. Dr. Anne Davis chronicles Paul's early travels shortly after his encounter with Yeshua on the road to Damascus. 2021-02-1921 minBibleInteractBibleInteractPaul's Involvement in Stephen's ExecutionDr. Anne Davis goes into detail of Stephen's trial and execution as noted in the Bible. Witnesses who accused Stephen of blasphemous words against God and the law laid aside their robes at the feet of Paul (then known by his Hebrew name, Saul). As a young legalistic fanatic under the direction of the Sanhedrin in Jerusalem, Saul approved of the stoning that led to Stephen's death.  2021-02-1219 minBibleInteractBibleInteractWhy is Paul so Hard to Understand?Dr. Anne Davis gives some examples of Paul's letters that many theologians have taken literally, causing a devastating effect through history as his words have been assumed as anti-Semitic. Dr. Davis offers significant evidence that Paul uses linguistic devices to provoke a much deeper concept in his writings. 2021-02-0523 minBibleInteractBibleInteractThe Great Tribulation & the End of Time 4: Resurrections 2-6When it comes to the end of time, there is a lot of misinformation and confusion surrounding on what exactly will happen. The purpose of this special podcast series is to give you a clear and vivid picture of what is going to happen during the period explained in the book of Revelation. Knowing the “hope”, which is an understanding of the future, is essential if you intend to stand for God. After all, Paul tells us to rejoice in hope so we can persevere in tribulation (Rom 12:12). Do you have a clear understanding of the hope? 2021-01-2528 minBibleInteractBibleInteractThe Great Tribulation & the End of Time 3: First ResurrectionWhen it comes to the end of time, there is a lot of misinformation and confusion surrounding on what exactly will happen. The purpose of this special podcast series is to give you a clear and vivid picture of what is going to happen during the period explained in the book of Revelation. Knowing the “hope”, which is an understanding of the future, is essential if you intend to stand for God. After all, Paul tells us to rejoice in hope so we can persevere in tribulation (Rom 12:12). Do you have a clear understanding of the hope? 2021-01-2523 minBibleInteractBibleInteractThe Great Tribulation & the End of Time 2: Picture of the Great TribulationWhen it comes to the end of time, there is a lot of misinformation and confusion surrounding on what exactly will happen. The purpose of this special podcast series is to give you a clear and vivid picture of what is going to happen during the period explained in the book of Revelation. Knowing the “hope”, which is an understanding of the future, is essential if you intend to stand for God. After all, Paul tells us to rejoice in hope so we can persevere in tribulation (Rom 12:12). Do you have a clear understanding of the hope? 2021-01-2525 minBibleInteractBibleInteractThe Great Tribulation & the End of Time 1: God's SelectionWhen it comes to the end of time, there is a lot of misinformation and confusion surrounding on what exactly will happen. The purpose of this special podcast series is to give you a clear and vivid picture of what is going to happen during the period explained in the book of Revelation. Knowing the “hope”, which is an understanding of the future, is essential if you intend to stand for God. After all, Paul tells us to rejoice in hope so we can persevere in tribulation (Rom 12:12). Do you have a clear understanding of the hope? 2021-01-2515 minBibleInteractBibleInteract6 Profound Liberal Teachings from YeshuaEach of us today has qualities of the ancient Pharisees or those of the Sadducees. Of course, only if we lean too far does it become unacceptable, but we can all learn to overcome any excesses in our attitudes and behavior that become offensive to others from Yeshua's teachings.  2020-12-3019 minBibleInteractBibleInteractJohn 8The wisdom literature of John has helped us understand “who is the Father,” “who is Jesus the Son?” Now we learn “who are the disciples, and what role are they being called to play?” The discourses in John chapters 14-17 offer instruction to Yeshua’s disciples.2015-01-1325 minBibleInteractBibleInteractJohn 7John chapters 14-17 are lengthy discourses that continue to be Hebrew wisdom literature. They offer a wealth of understanding to those who can penetrate the artistic nature of the text. In this session we penetrate a depth of understanding about Yeshua’s declaration: “If you have seen Me, you have seen the Father.”2015-01-1324 minBibleInteractBibleInteractJohn 6In this session we will discover the meaning of being sent by exploring the ancient custom of agency. The agent was regarded as one with the sender, thus commanding the same power and authority to act on the sender’s behalf. This concept will become important when we consider, in a later session, how Yeshua is sending his disciples.2015-01-1324 minBibleInteractBibleInteractPeter's VisionChristy Anderson looks at Acts 10 and the meaning of Peter's vision.2015-01-1325 minBibleInteractBibleInteractStudy Foundations Part 3Divine Intention and Meaning as Significance.2014-09-3024 minBibleInteractBibleInteractStudy Foundations Part 2Understanding the various aspects of "Meaning".2014-09-3024 minBibleInteractBibleInteractStudy Foundations Part 1An introduction to "Meaning" and the importance of finding "the Referent".2014-09-3025 minBibleInteractBibleInteractJohn 5The Johannine community offers the evidence of four witnesses to Yeshua as the Messiah whom God has sent to act on His behalf.2014-09-3025 minBibleInteractBibleInteractJohn 4In this session we will look more closely at the Hebraic concept of signs which reveal the nature of God and how He is working with His people.2014-09-3024 minBibleInteractBibleInteractJohn 3The Book of John records seven signs that prove Yeshua is the Messiah whom God has sent with power and authority to speak in His name.2014-09-3025 minBibleInteractBibleInteractJohn 2The book of John begins with a poetic introduction that we all love. However, there is a deeper meaning in the artistic nature of the language.2014-09-3025 minBibleInteractBibleInteractJohn 1The Gospel is dramatically different from the Synoptic Gospels - Matthew, Mark, and Luke; Christian theology has tended to view and interpret the book of John in a way similar to Greek philosophy.2014-09-3025 minBibleInteractBibleInteractWe Have Everything Now in PartThe gift of the Holy Spirit and the new covenant, both of which were made possible by the Messiah, allows us to walk in ways today that are a partial fulfillment of the way we will be able to walk in the future. However, it is possible to bring the future into our lives today.2014-09-3024 minBibleInteractBibleInteractTroubling Passage in Matthew“Do not think I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace but a sword” (Mat 10:34). But this contradicts the nature of God, who is peace or shalom. Yeshua then cites from Micah. This session explains how to connect the two testaments.2014-09-3025 minBibleInteractBibleInteractTransfigurationThis account gives us information about the end of time, but encourages us to bring the end of time into our lives today. This session is an in-depth study of the artistic nature of the text.2014-09-3024 minBibleInteractBibleInteractTextual CriticismTextual criticism is a scholarly field of study that examines biblical texts that were composed over a period of time. These texts were hand-copied and were susceptible to scribal error. By comparing later texts with earlier texts these scholars can identify scribal errors and intentional additions to uncover the most likely original.2014-09-3024 minBibleInteractBibleInteractKingdom of GodWe all know about the future Kingdom of God when God’s people will come into His presence in righteousness. However, the NT parables are directed to disciples and encourage them to walk in righteousness now. The repetitive phrase, “The Kingdom of God [Heaven] is like” encourages us to walk in the ways of the Kingdom now as a witness of God.2014-09-3025 minBibleInteractBibleInteractWitness the ResurrectionWhat is the relationship between believing in Yeshua, the son of God, and also believing in the resurrection? The answer is largely in the New Testament, but a connection to the Hebrew Scriptures is also significant.2014-09-3025 minBibleInteractBibleInteractWisdom LiteratureWisdom literature is a distinct genre, or literary form, that that is prevalent in the Hebrew Scriptures. This session gives examples of wisdom literature in Job and the first chapter of the Book of John.2014-09-3024 minBibleInteractBibleInteractArtistry of Psalm 1Hebrew poetry appears in approximately 40% of the Hebrew Scriptures. Psalms and Proverbs are written exclusively in poetic form. Learn how to penetrate the deeper meaning of Hebrew poetry through a study of Psalm 1.2014-09-3025 minBibleInteractBibleInteractApostle Peter2014-09-3025 minBibleInteractBibleInteractHebrew and Greek ComparedIn our modern western world, we have been raised with a Greek mindset. Yet, both the Old Testament and the New Testament are deeply Hebraic in their thought and presentation.2014-05-0525 minBibleInteractBibleInteractAccounts of CreationThere are two different accounts in Genesis that record God’s creation of mankind (Gen 1:27; 2:7). The western approach suggests there were originally two different manuscripts. However, this session promotes a Hebraic understanding that perceives God as the author who included both accounts for a reason.2014-05-0525 minBibleInteractBibleInteractEsau was UnlovedOur traditional understanding of Esau, as rejected by God, originates, in large part, from a literal interpretation of the New Testament. However, there are two problems: the citation is part of a midrashic argument, and the English word “hate” contradicts the Hebrew meaning.2014-05-0525 minBibleInteractBibleInteractUncover Deeper Meaning in Isaiah 3Interpreting the Bible literally began with Martin Luther 500 years ago, which effectively robbed us of an ability to uncover depth of meaning. Dr. Davis turns to Isaiah 3 to demonstrate the artistic nature of the biblical text.2014-05-0525 minBibleInteractBibleInteractIsaiah Historical BackgroundThe Book of Isaiah covers three different historical periods. We must know the historical background to fully appreciate the powerful messages of Isaiah.2014-05-0525 minBibleInteractBibleInteractLanguage of Wrath and Judgment in IsaiahIf we read the words of Isaiah literally, it sounds like God has dismissed Israel because of sinful behavior. However, the language of wrath and judgment was intended as instruction, not as condemnation.2014-05-0525 minBibleInteractBibleInteractParable of the Vineyard in Isaiah 7Isaiah’s parable of the vineyard is steeped in artistic language that leads to a powerful conclusion.2014-05-0525 minBibleInteractBibleInteractParable of Vineyard in MatthewMatthew begins by citing Isaiah’s parable of a vineyard, but then turns in a different direction that leads to a powerful conclusion. We must first understand Isaiah’s parable, and then consider the Matthew’s artistry of language.2014-05-0525 minBibleInteractBibleInteractNo Longer Under the LawPaul declares in Romans 6:15 that “we are not under law.” However, there are two problems with a literal interpretation. Paul is alluding to the Cain and Abel story, and his words must be read in the context of the NT passage. You will discover that the conclusion is quite different from a literal interpretation.2014-05-0525 minBibleInteractBibleInteractParable of Nathan and DavidParables are a form of commentary on another portion of Scripture, which applies to the Parable that Nathan the prophet spoke to David the king in 2 Sam 12. What follows is subtle artistry of language that leads to a powerful conclusion that applies to our lives today.2014-05-0525 minBibleInteractBibleInteractSeven Days of PassoverThe three festivals of the Passover week convey prophetic meaning, and also provide powerful messages for our lives today.2014-05-0525 minBibleInteractBibleInteractHitting Rock BottomWe will consider three people in Scripture who hit “rock bottom". In each case, their response led to a blessing that was life-changing.2014-05-0525 minBibleInteractBibleInteractHearing the Voice of GodWe turn to the Scriptures to learn how to hear from God by exploring the phrase, “the voice of God.”2014-05-0525 minBibleInteractBibleInteractFather and Firstborn SonScripture declares that the children of Israel are God’s firstborn son, and that God is their Father. “Once a son, always a son” is the conclusion of this study.2014-05-0524 minBibleInteractBibleInteractIsrael’s InheritanceAs God’s firstborn son (Ex 4:24), all the children of Israel are entitled to a special inheritance of leadership known as the birthright.2014-05-0525 minBibleInteractBibleInteractLoss of Israel’s InheritanceIsrael’s inheritance is not “salvation” (a Christian concept), but a special inheritance of leadership known as the birthright. However, each individual must exhibit characteristics of leadership or God will remove the birthright for unworthy behavior. However, all the children of Israel, whether they inherit the birthright or not, still belong to God.2014-05-0524 minBibleInteractBibleInteractProphetic Passages of the RemnantGod is making a selection out of Israel as to who is worthy to inherit the birthright, which is a special role of leadership. This selection process has nothing to do with “who will be saved.” All the children of Israel belong to God. However, those who inherit the birthright are called a “remnant,” and they have a special role to play in God’s great Plan of Redemption.2014-05-0524 minBibleInteractBibleInteractRole of the RemnantGod is selecting a remnant out of Israel to play an important future role. After the Millennial Kingdom, a remnant will be led by the Messiah in a victorious battle against the forces of evil, which we can see in the Book of Daniel. Our lives today are a training ground to prepare those who will be worthy of this special role.2014-05-0525 minBibleInteractBibleInteractRemnant of Church Romans 9-11It is clear from Scripture that there will be a remnant of Israel. In a previous session we learned that the remnant are those who will inherit the birthright. However, what about believers in Christ? Romans 9-11 reveals that there will also be a remnant from the Church.2014-05-0524 minBibleInteractBibleInteractChrist in YouWhat does it mean in Col 1:27 that Christ is “in” those with faith in him? After answering this question, we explore what it means that “you are in Christ".2014-05-0525 minBibleInteractBibleInteractEzekiel’s Two SticksEz 37:16-19 talks about a future joining of two sticks. What do the sticks represent? This passage is in a chiastic construction, and the Hebrew word translated “companions” leads us to a different conclusion than is generally offered.2014-05-0525 minBibleInteractBibleInteractWho were the Samaritans?We must know the historical and cultural background of ancient Israel in order to understand the biblical passages about the Samaritans.2014-05-0525 minBibleInteractBibleInteractFirst Aspect of Israel’s SalvationA common interpretation finds that only those Jews who believe in the Messiah will be “saved.” First, this teaching examines the biblical meaning of the word “saved.” Then we discover from Scripture that all the children of Israel “belong to God,” just as those with faith in Christ also “belong to God.”2014-05-0525 minBibleInteractBibleInteractFirst Aspect of Salvation for Believers in ChristHow does the resurrection of Christ lead to the first aspect of salvation? And, if there is a first aspect of salvation, what follows?2014-05-0525 minBibleInteractBibleInteractWho will be saved? Part 1Christian theology offers three possible answers (with variations on each theme). Dr. Davis suggests that you consider the evidence for each interpretation, and then come to your own conclusion.2014-05-0525 minBibleInteractBibleInteractWho will be saved? Part 2After exploring three possible answers in the previous session, Dr. Davis shares her understanding from Scripture as to “who will be saved,” and then explains how she drew this conclusion.2014-05-0525 minBibleInteractBibleInteractSecond Aspect of Salvation for IsraelDr. Davis explains various Christian interpretations that attempt to answer the question, “Who will be saved?” Then she turns to the second aspect of salvation for Israel, which is rescue from daily consequences of walking in worldly ways. This concept of daily rescue from pain and suffering is portrayed through the artistic nature of the Exodus narrative.2014-05-0525 minBibleInteractBibleInteractPromise of the SpiritPaul declares that believers in Christ have received “the promise of the Spirit through faith” (Gal 3:14). God’s promise can be found in the Hebrew Scriptures, which conveys deeper meaning through the artistry of the language.2014-05-0525 minBibleInteractBibleInteractBiblical Irony of FreedomThe Exodus event teaches us how to be free from bondage to the world in our daily lives. The irony is that freedom without the law leads to suffering bondage under the control of Satan.2014-05-0525 minBibleInteractBibleInteractJacob's LadderThis session conducts a close examination of Genesis 28:10-13 by considering the geography of the event, the greater narrative in which Jacob’s vision occurs, and especially the artistic nature of the biblical text.2014-05-0524 minBibleInteractBibleInteractCalled to be HolyIn Leviticus 11:44 we learn that God commands the children of Israel to be holy as He is holy. In the New Testament, Peter repeats this commandment to believers in Christ. The reason for this commandment is so that God’s children, both Jew and Gentile, can draw near to Him.2014-05-0525 minBibleInteractBibleInteractA Depth of Understanding about BaptismIn Hebrews 6:1-2 we learn that understanding baptism is one of several “elementary teachings.” Yet, there is a depth of understanding to this “elementary teaching.” How deep is your understanding about baptism by water and Spirit?2014-05-0525 minBibleInteractBibleInteractLaying on of HandsIn Hebrews 6:1-2 we learn that “laying on of hands” is an elementary teaching. Yet, Yeshua laid hands on people to heal them. This session leads us to a higher principal regarding “laying on of hands.”2014-05-0524 minBibleInteractBibleInteractThe Higher Principle of Eternal JudgmentIn Hebrews 6:1-2 we learn that the knowledge of eternal judgment is an “elementary teaching.” This session leads us to a higher principal regarding eternal judgment.2014-05-0524 minBibleInteractBibleInteractMaturity and Immaturity in ChristMature Christians press on to perfection and strive for it. In this session we examine the concept of perfection by starting in the Hebrew Scriptures, and then turning to passages in the New Testament.2014-05-0525 minBibleInteractBibleInteractMidrash in Romans 9-11Dr. Davis discusses the research she conducted before writing her book on Romans 9-11. She suggests that Rom 9:1-11:12 is addressed to Jewish believers, and Paul uses halachic midrash and artistry of language that the Jewish believers would have understood. For us to understand these chapters today, we must “think Hebrew, not Greek.”2014-05-0525 minBibleInteractBibleInteractPaul’s Warning about Freedom and SlaveryGalatians 5:1 declares that Christ has set us free. When did this occur, and how? And what does it mean to “be free.” Then Paul warns us not to be subject to bondage again. What does this mean?2014-05-0525 minBibleInteractBibleInteractHoly Spirit and LawA chiastic structure in Galatians 3:1-5 offers instruction about the relationship between the Holy Spirit and the Law.2014-05-0525 minBibleInteractBibleInteractSatan's Giant ArmyWe first meet Satan’s giant army in Genesis 6:4. God caused a flood to destroy these evil giants but some survived, and they continue to appear in the biblical narrative. At some future time, possibly after the Millennial Kingdom, the armies of God and Satan will meet in a final battle.2014-05-0524 minBibleInteractBibleInteractThe Fig Tree Part 6King Jehoiachin was cut off from the rulership of Judah and carried into exile for his disobedience, which then necessitated a virgin birth.2014-04-3025 minBibleInteractBibleInteractThe Fig Tree Part 5Trees in Scripture are metaphors for rulers and The Fig Tree in particular represents the leadership of Judah.2014-04-3025 minBibleInteractBibleInteractThe Fig Tree Part 4The sanctity of trees in the land of Israel in the fourth year were Holy and set apart to God because of their first fruit status.2014-04-3025 minBibleInteractBibleInteractThe Fig Tree Part 3Leviticus 19:23-25 outlines the sanctity of trees grown in the land of Israel.  In the first three years the trees were considered forbidden or uncircumcised.2014-04-3025 minBibleInteractBibleInteractThe Fig Tree Part 2Many of the physical traits of the Fig Tree can be compared to the character qualities of the believer.2014-04-3025 minBibleInteractBibleInteractThe Fig Tree Part 1Rashi suggests the Fig Tree is the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil and declares the “very thing by which they were disgraced (Adam and Eve) were they restored”.2014-04-3024 minBibleInteractBibleInteractDew of Heaven Part 7Isaac bestows a special blessing upon Esav and Jacob in Genesis 27 that is connected to the dew of heaven.2014-04-3025 minBibleInteractBibleInteractDew of Heaven Part 6Gideon is pictured as the savior and deliverer who needed a sign.  This came in the form of dew on the fleece and dew on the ground.2014-04-3025 minBibleInteractBibleInteractDew of Heaven Part 5The story of Gideon from Judges six begins with Gideon threshing wheat in a winepress as the armies of Midian and Amalek come from the East to attack.2014-04-3025 minBibleInteractBibleInteractDew of Heaven Part 4The children of Israel collected a portion per person of manna for 5 days then on the 6th day they collected a double portion for Shabbat.2014-04-3025 minBibleInteractBibleInteractDew of Heaven Part 3The concept of dew and resurrection is found in Exodus 16 and is connected to the manna at the Second Passover and the Counting of the Omer.2014-04-3025 minBibleInteractBibleInteractDew of Heaven Part 2First Kings 17 points to the resurrection through the story of Elijah and the widow from Zarephat.  An element of atonement is first revealed in the flour jar.2014-04-3025 minBibleInteractBibleInteractDew of Heaven Part 1The dew has long been associated with the resurrection of the dead in the rabbinic literature.2014-04-3025 minBibleInteractBibleInteractEvery Offering With Salt Part 2Part 2 of this teaching on Salt expounds the reasons behind the command in Lev 2:13, the interchangeability of salt with blood, and the significance these truths have with regard to our understanding the metaphor of salt used by Messiah in the Apostolic Scriptures.2014-04-3024 minBibleInteractBibleInteractEvery Offering With Salt Part 1This teaching expounds on the significance and lessons of Salt in Scripture, beginning in Part 1 with it’s nature and historic use in the Ancient Near East.2014-04-3024 minBibleInteractBibleInteractLaw of ChesedSometimes positive (i.e. ‘do this’) and negative (i.e. ‘don’t do this) commandments seem to conflict.  This teaching explains how to deal with such conflicts the way Messiah dealt with them according to the Law of Chesed (Mercy/Lovingkindess).2014-04-3024 minBibleInteractBibleInteractGalatians Part 6In this session we analyze the key Allegory in Galatians chapter four and find out the ultimate significance of Paul’s message for our lives today.2014-04-3024 minBibleInteractBibleInteractGalatians Part 5In this session we dive into the eight specific uses of the phrase ‘under law’ as used by Paul alone in Scripture.2014-04-3024 minBibleInteractBibleInteractGalatians Part 4In this session we dive into the five specific uses of the phrase ‘works of law” as used by Paul alone in Scripture.2014-04-3024 minBibleInteractBibleInteractGalatians Part 3In this session we discover the central message of Galatians that centers on the idea of forced circumcision and the ‘real’ Good News.2014-04-3024 minBibleInteractBibleInteractGalatians Part 2This session covers how false Jewish traditions of separation from or association with gentiles impacted and frustrated Paul’s efforts to clarify the REAL Good News.2014-04-3024 minBibleInteractBibleInteractGalatians Part 1This session addresses the basic issues that need to be considered when interpreting Paul and the historic, but distorted, doctrine of salvation taught within Judaism during the first century that Paul had to contend with in order to share the real Good News of Messiah.2014-04-3024 minBibleInteractBibleInteractThe Warrior BrideArrayed in white linen, the overcoming bride rides a white war horse to battle!2014-04-3025

ShalomLearn how to live and breathe heavenly peace as a dress rehearsal for heaven.2014-04-3025 minBibleInteractBibleInteractMezuzah– Divine Blessings upon Every HomeIncrease your understanding and appreciation of the mezuzah on the doorpost.2014-04-3025 minBibleInteractBibleInteractA Holy Book Like No Other– The Masoretic Contribution to ScriptureLearn how an ingenious system of dots and dashes

tongue has been revived!2014-04-3025 minBibleInteractBibleInteractGod's Giant ArmyIn an earlier session we saw that Satan has a remnant army of physical giants. God is also preparing an army, but His soldiers are spiritual giants known as “mighty men.” God’s army is called a remnant because God is selecting those who are worthy and prepared to submit and obey to their commander-in-chief, Yeshua the Messiah.  The battle between these two giant armies will take place after the Millennial Kingdom.2014-04-1725 min
