When Faith Hurts: Good Works, Betrayal, and the Love of God
This sermon explores John 3:16–18 and the tension between faith, emotion, and obedience. It reflects on how believers often approach faith through doctrine and problem-solving, yet still face deep pain when betrayed by family, friends, or the world around them. Drawing from Genesis, Isaiah 53, Matthew 5, and the crucifixion of Yeshua, the message emphasizes that good works matter, our actions affect others, and emotional suffering is part of the human experience. Even in heartache, God’s love, salvation, and purpose remain sure. The call is to be angry and do not sin, to let our light shine through good works, and to trust that God can bring good out of even the deepest wounds.

Romans 4 Bible Study: Abraham, Faith vs Works, and Righteousness by Grace (Sermon + Discussion)
In this sermon and group discussion, we study Romans 4 and Paul’s teaching on Abraham, faith, and righteousness. We walk through how Abraham was counted righteous by faith (not by works), what it means for righteousness to be credited by grace, and why God’s promise is sure for both Jews and Gentiles.
The conversation also explores related passages (including Psalms 32, Genesis, and more), the difference between God’s righteousness, law-based righteousness, and the righteousness of Christ, and practical reflections on trust in God’s promises while we wait.

Living Well in Babylon: In Jeremiah 29, God told the exiles in Babylon to build lives: marry, have children, plant gardens, and seek the peace of the city—not to withdraw or stir rebellion. That same wisdom applies today: while we wait for Yeshua’s return (we have signs, not times), we’re called to live faithfully, be productive, and represent God well in the world.
First Century Christianity: Why did mainstream Christianity adopt doctrines that conflict with the Bible? In this short, I share my journey after leaving Catholicism—examining the 300s church councils, how authority was claimed, and why changing the Sabbath matters. The New Testament model was simple: follow Yeshua, walk out Torah as He did, and test everything by Scripture. If you’re seeking authentic, first-century faith, this is for you.
