One God, One Mediator: The Truth Men Tried to Bury

There is one God, and there is one mediator between God and mankind: Messiah Yeshua. This message is a bold call to return to the plain testimony of Scripture and to understand why Yeshua’s role as Mediator, High Priest, ransom, and intercessor cannot be replaced, ignored, or redefined by man-made systems.

From Moses standing between Israel and Yahweh, to the Day of Atonement, to the heavenly High Priesthood of Messiah, Scripture reveals a pattern: mankind cannot stand before the Almighty without mediation. Yeshua did not simply die and disappear from the story. He lives, He intercedes, and He remains the appointed mediator for those who keep the commandments of God and hold to the faith of Yeshua.

In this sermon, we examine Ephesians, 1 Timothy, Exodus, Leviticus, Hebrews, and Revelation to see the unified witness of Scripture: the Father is God, Yeshua is His Son, and the Messiah stands as our perfect and permanent High Priest. Do not surrender the mediator. Do not trade the faith once delivered for confusion. Return to Yahweh. Follow Yeshua. Endure as the saints.

Key Scriptures: Ephesians 1, 1 Timothy 2:1–6, Exodus 20, Exodus 32, Leviticus 16, Hebrews 9, Revelation 20

Why We Are Not Trinitarian: A Scripture-Centered Teaching on Yeshua

A Scripture-centered teaching on Yeshua as the Messiah and Son of God, examining Acts 2, the Trinity, the Nicene Creed, Nicaea, and the first-century gospel proclaimed by the apostles.

What did the apostles actually preach about Yeshua, Yahweh, and the gospel?

In this teaching, we return to the first-century witness of Scripture—especially Acts 2—to examine the identity of Yeshua as the Messiah, the Son of the living God. We also look at the later historical development of the Trinity, the Nicene Creed, and the difference between apostolic faith and fourth-century doctrine.

Rather than beginning with later creeds or councils, this message asks a simple question: what did Peter and the apostles make central when they proclaimed the gospel?

Paula Fredriksen’s Early Christian History for Grown-Ups

My heartfelt review of Paula Fredriksen’s scholarship on the first 500 years of Christianity, highlighting her ability to make complex ancient history, theology, politics, and doctrine understandable for everyday readers. The review recommends her work as an essential resource for anyone interested in the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the formation of Christianity, the early church fathers, and how many beliefs we have circulating today really came to be.

The Remnant Message

The Remnant Message
Walking as Yeshua Walked: Faith, Family, Sabbath, and Raising Children in Biblical Truth
In this sermon, we explore the practical side of faith: what it means to walk as Yeshua walked, keep Yahweh’s commandments, live out Sabbath and the biblical holy days, and build strong families in a world that often pulls in the opposite direction. Drawing from 1 John 2, John 17, Ephesians 5, 1 Corinthians 7, Jeremiah 29, and 1 Peter 2, this message speaks to marriage, raising children in the faith, homeschooling and education choices, being in the world but not of the world, and committing fully to a biblical lifestyle. If you are part of the Torah-observant, Messianic, Hebrew Roots, or Sabbath-keeping community, this teaching offers encouragement to live faithfully, serve your family, and be a light in spiritual Babylon and explains why we fulfill the remnant message.

Shalom, and may Yahweh bless you and keep you in the name of His Son, Yeshua.

Yahweh’s Appointed Times: Shabbat, the Biblical Feasts, and the Kingdom to Come

How do we display our faith in everyday life?

In this teaching, we look at Leviticus 23 and Yahweh’s appointed times—not as “Jewish holidays,” but as holy convocations given by Yahweh for His people. From weekly Shabbat rest to the annual feasts, these days teach us how to remember creation, the Exodus, the work of Yeshua, the giving of the Ruach, the coming judgment, and the Kingdom to come.

The appointed times are not simply religious observances. They shape our homes, our calendars, our fellowship, and our way of life. They help us walk in the footsteps of Yeshua and the apostles while preparing our hearts for what Yahweh has promised.

Faith Without Works Is Dead: Why Believers Must Follow Yeshua (Jesus) and Keep Torah

This teaching examines Matthew 7, James 2, Acts, Galatians, and other Scriptures to show that true faith in Yeshua produces repentance, obedience, and visible change. It addresses lawlessness, “faith alone,” Sabbath observance, Torah for believers, Messianic identity, and what it means to be grafted into the promises of Abraham through Messiah.

You Are Not the Thief on the Cross

You are Not the Thief on the Cross: Many people point to the thief on the cross to argue that baptism is not necessary—but is that really the lesson Scripture is teaching? In this message, we examine Luke 23, John 5, and Revelation 20 to show why repentance, baptism, and walking as Yeshua walked remain essential for believers today. The thief on the cross was an extraordinary last-hour situation, not the pattern for those who have time to obey. Repent, accept Yeshua as Messiah, be baptized, and walk in deeds worthy of repentance.

The Sabbath is Creation’s Sign for All Mankind

The Sabbath is Creation’s Sign for All Mankind

This sermon teaches that the seventh-day Sabbath is rooted in creation, established by God as a continuing sign for all mankind, and preserved through the biblical weekly cycle from Genesis to the future restoration described in Isaiah. It contrasts biblical Sabbath observance with man-made religious traditions, emphasizing that faith is shown through obedience, holy time, fellowship, rest, and living according to the Creator’s instructions.
