Yeshua and Judaism: When Did Christianity and Judaism Really Split? (The Mid-300s “Parting of the Ways”)

Yeshua and Judaism: Many assume Christianity and Judaism separated almost immediately after the first century. In this teaching, we examine Scripture and history showing the “parting of the ways” was not a clean early break—and that major pressure to separate (including Sabbath/Sunday disputes) intensified in the mid-300s. We also cover Second Temple Judaism vs. Rabbinic Judaism, the synagogue’s role in spreading the gospel, and why Torah reading and Sabbath practice remained central for early believers.

The Millennials are Right: This world needs a Jubilee

Everything is too expensive and the next generations will likely never have the quality of life that previous generations did. Part of this is due to us never following Torah.

Taking the Name in Vain: What Exodus 20:7 Really Means

What does it truly mean to “take the name of the LORD in vain”?

In this teaching on Exodus 20:7, we explore how God’s Name is far more than pronunciation—it represents His character, authority, and reputation. Scripture shows that the Name is profaned not only by careless words, but by behavior and teaching that misrepresents the Creator before the world. This study examines the commandment through Torah, the prophets, and the example of Yeshua.

Discover what “taking God’s Name in vain” truly means according to Exodus 20:7. This teaching explains how God’s Name represents His character, authority, and reputation—and how misrepresenting Him profanes the Name.

New Beginnings in Scripture

New Beginnings in Scripture

The Days of Unleavened Bread reveal a powerful biblical pattern of renewal, obedience, and cycles of new beginnings that runs throughout Scripture.

In this teaching from the final day of Unleavened Bread, we explore how living out the Torah brings a depth of understanding that academic study alone cannot provide. From the Exodus and Joshua to the Messiah’s death, resurrection, and future restoration, the Bible shows that God works according to appointed times (Moedim) and intentional cycles—not randomness.

This message examines why the work of redemption was not finished at the cross alone, how resurrection, ascension, and the giving of the Spirit fit into the larger plan, and why Scripture points forward to a future moment when all things are truly accomplished.

By walking through Passover, Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits, Shavuot, and the Jubilee cycle, we see how God repeatedly offers His people fresh starts, calling them to growth, repentance, and faithful obedience as they move toward the Kingdom to come.

First Fruits and the Resurrection of the Dead | Yeshua the Firstfruits Explained

First Fruits and the Resurrection of the Dead
This teaching explains the biblical meaning of First Fruits and why Yeshua (Jesus) is called the Firstfruits of the dead. Using Scripture from Leviticus 23, 1 Corinthians 15, Acts, Ezekiel 37, and the Gospels, this message walks through the biblical feast calendar, the resurrection timeline, and the hope of the resurrection of the dead.

Unlike modern tradition, Scripture teaches that the resurrection—not an immediate afterlife—is the foundation of first‑century faith. This video examines how First Fruits, Passover, and Unleavened Bread align perfectly with the death, burial, and resurrection of Yeshua, fulfilling both Torah and prophecy.

Topics covered include:

  • The Wave Sheaf / First Fruits offering
  • Why Yeshua rose on First Fruits
  • The resurrection as literal, future, and promised
  • Ezekiel’s dry bones and the first resurrection
  • The restoration of God’s Kingdom on earth

This message restores the original biblical hope: resurrection, renewal, and life in the coming Kingdom.

Real Christianity

Real Christianity: Repentance, Reconciliation, and Why God Forgets Our Sins

What does real Christianity actually teach about repentance, forgiveness, and reconciliation? In this teaching, we examine a troubling trend in modern Christian culture: publicly exposing past sins—especially sexual sin—and calling it “testimony.” Drawing directly from Genesis, Isaiah, Acts, the Gospels, and the New Covenant, this message explains why repentance means your sins are wiped away, not rehearsed forever. We address: Why broadcasting a spouse’s past sins dishonors marriage How the Bible defines true repentance and reconciliation Why sexual sin is not worse than other sins, including Sabbath-breaking The danger of public righteousness and internet shame culture What the New Covenant really means when God says “I will remember their sins no more” How biblical reconciliation shaped history—from Israel, to Acts, to post-war restoration This teaching contrasts biblical Christianity with modern performative religion and calls believers to live today like we are already in the Kingdom of God—walking in humility, obedience, and compassion. If God Himself forgets forgiven sins, why are Christians digging them up? 📖 Scriptures referenced include Genesis 6, Isaiah 1, Acts 2–3, Romans 5, Matthew 6, Luke 22, Hebrews 8, and Jeremiah 31.

Jesus Didn’t Command Easter—He Commanded This

Jesus Didn’t Command Easter—He Commanded This
Jesus gave clear instructions on the night He was betrayed—before Passover. He took the bread and the cup, washed His disciples’ feet, and commanded us to do this in remembrance of Him. This happened on Abib 13, the night before Passover—not Easter. The Apostle Paul later confirmed this command in 1 Corinthians 11, teaching believers how to observe it under the New Covenant. If we know exactly what Jesus and the early believers practiced, why wouldn’t we do the same today? Learn how the early Christians commemorated the Messiah’s death and resurrection and how you can do this wherever you are. May Yahweh bless you and keep you, in the name of His Son, Yeshua.

Romans 2 Explained: God’s Judgment, Hypocrisy, Law, Grace, and Being Doers of the Word

This teaching on Romans Chapter 2 confronts one of the most misunderstood truths in modern Christianity: God judges according to deeds, not religious identity or empty confession. Paul addresses both Jews and Gentiles, exposing hypocrisy, false assurance, and the danger of hearing God’s Word without obeying it.

Using Scripture from Romans 2, James 1, Matthew 16, Job, Mark 7, and Revelation, this lesson explains why the Law reveals sin, why grace does not excuse unrighteous living, and why true faith is demonstrated through obedience. Circumcision of the heart—not outward religion—is what God honors.

This study is a sober reminder that Christians are called to live in a way that protects the holiness of God’s name and the integrity of His church before the world.

Living as Christians in Babylon | Biblical Conduct & Faith in Action

Living as Christians in Babylon

This teaching explores biblical Christian behavior in today’s world, drawing from Genesis through Revelation to explain how believers are called to live faithfully in modern society.

Rather than focusing on speculation or feel‑good religion, this message emphasizes practical obedience, personal responsibility, and visible faith. Topics include Christian conduct, work ethic, marriage, modesty, integrity, living under authority, and being salt and light in a broken culture.

This is a call to live out the Bible daily—at work, at home, in relationships, and in public—so that our lives strengthen the witness of the Gospel and honor God in every area.
