Pentecost Explained: What is Pentecost, and how does it connect to Shavuot and Acts 2? In this YouTube Short, I explain how Pentecost was already a biblical holy day, why it matters in Leviticus 23, and how the coming of the Holy Spirit in Acts 2 adds even deeper meaning for believers in Yeshua the Messiah.

Can Men Be God? A Biblical Challenge to the Doctrines of Men
Can Men Be God? A Biblical challenge to the doctrines of men. This message explores whether religious tradition or Scripture should determine worship, holy days, and doctrine, with a focus on Sabbath, Passover, and the authority of God.
Leaving Catholicism is Easy Once You Realize it Just Doesn’t Work
Leaving Catholicism is Easy: Rituals, rites of passage, and false traditions simply don’t produce Christians.

Romans 4 Bible Study: Abraham, Faith vs Works, and Righteousness by Grace (Sermon + Discussion)
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” (Jeremiah 29) | Waiting for Messiah
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.
Recreating 1st Century Christianity: Church Councils, Sabbath Change & Following Yeshua
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.
Why are We First Century Christians?
Here are some testimonials from our congregation on why we are first century Christians and what that looks like!
Romans 2–3 Explained: The Law Reveals Sin, but Righteousness Comes by Faith
Romans 2–3 Explained: The Law Reveals Sin, but Righteousness Comes by Faith
In this Bible study through Romans 2:17–3, we follow Paul’s argument that religious identity and outward signs can’t justify anyone—God looks at the heart. The Law exposes sin and stops every mouth, but God’s righteousness is revealed through faith in Jesus the Messiah.
- Romans 2:17–29: teaching others vs teaching yourself; circumcision of the heart
- Romans 3:1–8: God’s faithfulness, human unbelief, and “let us do evil that good may come”
- Why God’s wrath and justice matter
- Romans 3:9–20: “none righteous” and how the Law defines sin
- Romans 3:21–26: justification by grace, faith in Jesus, and propitiation (mercy seat / atoning sacrifice)
- Cross-references mentioned: Psalms, Isaiah, Proverbs, Matthew 5:17, Revelation 14:12, Numbers 15
If this study helped you, consider subscribing and sharing it with someone walking through Romans.
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.
