LIGHT OF MENORAH
Exodus - 68 part 1 - Exod. 28:1-5, 41-43 - We are Priests of Our Father
LESSON 68 PART 1 In part 1 we consider verses 1-5 of chapter 28 and it seems that these testify of Adoneinu Yeshua HaMaschiach, our Lord Jesus the Messiah, Jesus the Christ. For one thing Aaron, whose Heavenly Father is the God of Abraham, was the High priest and his sons, also sons of their Father, the God of Abraham, the first priests to serve with their dad. But, what about us? Jesus, the Son of the Father, is the High Priest of a heavenly priesthood, and us, adopted "sons of the Father" and priests, a royal priesthood as we...

Genesis - 62 - Gen. 25:19-34 Jacob - the Prodigal Son??
Esau is not the man for the job. Yes, he is the first born. But, just because he is the first born, theבְּכוֹר Bekor H1060, he has tasks and responsibilities even before his dad passes away. He becomes a teammate with his dad. They together work to help the family with all its needs, they stand together to protect the family, they make sure all are safe and healthy, and the first born and the dad do all they can to make sure the family stays together. Esau, however, is seemingly focused only on hunting, the outdoors, adventure, f...

The Lord’s Prayer - Lesson 2 - Pray in the Inner Room
In this 2nd lesson on the Lord's prayer we will focus on Jesus' specific guidelines He taught when we pray. 1st, go into your inner room. Next, do not use meaningless repetition like the pagan Gentiles. Are these instructions unique? Is Jesus teaching us something that is different than praying as a religious Jewish person in His day? Are these guidelines uniquely Christian? NOPE. Jesus is teaching and emphasizing what His disciples have been taught as they grew up in their hometown synagogue schools. As we study this in its historical context we find we are dealing with thi...

Shavuot (Pentecost) 6 - One Flock & One Shepherd
SHAVUOT - EPISODE 6 Adonai is connecting Passover to First Fruits (Bikkureem) and First Fruits to Shavuot or Pentecost. It is so clear. When we put these events into their historical context of 1446 B.C. or the time of the first Passover, and in 30 A.D., the probable time of Jesus' death an resurrection, ascension, and the feast of Pentecost in Acts 2, we see how the missing pieces of Pentecost are filled in. Our understanding is again enriched and enhanced and we ask ourselves, how did we miss so much? Why isn't Pentecost Sunday a big deal...

Archaeology of Passover - Lesson 5 - Resurrection Sunday: the End of the Beginning
In lesson 5 we will focus on Resurrection Sunday. In previous sessions we reconnected to our Jewish roots and found an amazing "picture" that relates the 1st Palm Sunday to the events of the 1st Exodus. The 1st Palm Sunday - if it was a Sunday happened in 30 A.D. - would have been Nissan 10. The day in Exod. 12:1-3 when the fathers of each household would pick the Passover lamb. We learned that the Father, our God, chose His son Jesus on the 1st Palm Sunday, on Nissan 10, as His LAMB OF GOD. What an amazing picture. And, w...

Christian Parent, Crazy World
Discovering Your Family's Unique Identity, Purpose, and Core Values (w/ Derek England) - Ep. 118
Do you know what your family's unique purpose or identity is? Can you and your kids name your family’s core values? If you feel like a deer in headlights when asked those questions, you aren’t alone. Families are at the heart of God's plan for the world, serving as unique units designed to fulfill His divine purposes. Yet churches often zoom in on assessing individual callings and miss the bigger picture of the family's role. As a result, most parents never discover their family’s unique God given design or purpose. They never conside...
