Tag: Plan of Salvation

God established a plan of salvation at the foundation of the world. These messages explore that plan and how salvation has been revealed through the Torah, specifically through the Holy Days of Leviticus 23. This study takes some time as we must shed some pre-conceived notions to embrace how scripture was really written, to whom, and how it is meant to be understood.

Pentecost Explained: Acts 2, Shavuot, the Holy Spirit, and the Meaning of Faith

Pentecost Explained: What really happened in Acts 2, and how does it connect to Shavuot (Pentecost), the Holy Spirit, and the deeper meaning of faith?

In this message, we explore the powerful connection between Pentecost and the giving of the Spirit, the relationship between Shavuot and the Torah, and why Acts 2 is one of the most important chapters in the Bible.

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.

The Four Cups of Passover: Understanding PRDS and the Deeper Meaning of Passover in Scripture

The Four Cups of Passover: Understanding PRDS and the Deeper Meaning of Passover in Scripture

Explore the rich, four‑level biblical meaning of Passover through the lens of PaRDeS (PRDS)—the ancient Hebrew framework for understanding Scripture. This teaching walks through the P’shat, Remez, Drash, and Sod levels of Passover, from Abraham and Isaac, to the Exodus, to the sacrifice of Yeshua, and finally to the prophetic future fulfillment in the coming Kingdom. Learn how each “cup” of Passover reveals deeper layers of God’s plan, how the Exodus connects to Messiah’s sacrifice, and why the fourth cup remains a powerful mystery yet to unfold. Perfect for Bible students, teachers, and anyone wanting to deepen their understanding of Scripture and the Passover season.

The Sabbath is for all Mankind

The Sabbath is for all mankind. The Sabbath was created on the 7th day of creation, kept by all the apostles and early Christians, and will be kept in the future under penalty of death. YHVH aka God rested on the 7th day of creation as an example for mankind the same way that Yeshua aka Jesus was baptized. God was not tired and did not need rest after creating the world, He rested with Adam as an example. Yeshua was sinless and did not need to be baptized, He did that to be an example as well. The first century believers would never have considered changing the Sabbath or stopping it because that was the principle means they identified as worshipers of the one true God. This has never changed and this message proves from scripture that the Sabbath is not just for Christians and Jews, but for all mankind.

We’re Adopted, Now What?

We’re adopted, now what? It’s decision time, brothers and sisters, either decide to be a Christian and follow Him fully or don’t. After accepting Yeshua as the Messiah (Jesus as the Christ) and becoming an adopted child of God, then what? This message addresses what the first century gentiles had to do to change how they were living and become children of God. I then parallel that to today, which is shockingly similar. This message proves that the rituals in mainstream Christianity, the things believers are required to do to be considered believers, are actually from paganism and the same exact religions Paul and the other apostles were sent into the world to counter. It’s decision time, brothers and sisters, either decide to be a Christian and follow Him fully or don’t.

The Gospel and Our Connection to the God of Abraham

The Gospel and our Connection to the God of Abraham explains how a person who has no connection to the God of Israel becomes connected through grafting in. This message is essential foundational information for Christianity and explains how our faith is a continuation of the faith of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Israel is the chosen people and this is explained in the message that God chose them as the conduit for Him to communicate His desire and purposes for mankind. Israel is also essential as the Messiah is of the tribe of Judah, and there is no such thing as a messiah without the faith of Abraham. The Gospel and our connection to the God of Abraham explains how God was working with the nations before the first coming of the Messiah through the synagogue system so that the world would be prepared to accept the Gospel.

Moses Illustrates the Gospel

Moses Illustrates the Gospel: this Torah portion parallels Jesus’ (Yeshua’s) mission and role to a degree that must be miraculous. I open with a very broad overview of why to study the whole bible and the true goal of the Gospel. Highlights of this study are establishing the role of mediator, parallels between Moses and Yeshua, and the Book of Life.

You Matter

Nobody lights a lamp and puts it under a basket means that you matter. Jesus Christ died for you because you have worth and can be righteous.

Nobody lights a lamp and puts it under a basket means that you matter. Jesus Christ, aka Yeshua, died for you because you have worth and can be righteous. The mainstream Christian doctrines surrounding works being somehow bad force a conclusion that believers are worthless. If there are none righteous, and you are going to stay unrighteous, then the Messiah died for nothing.

This teaching unravels these destructive and evil doctrines. These wrong teachings, called the doctrines of men, must be refuted because you matter. Yeshua taught expressly against these concepts, and I explain why people believe the opposite of plain scripture in the message. Nearly every page of the Gospels contains parables, teachings, or stories about righteous deeds versus unrighteous deeds. Christ clearly expressed that the disciples, prior to His death and resurrection, were the light of the world. They needed to live so that their righteous deeds could be seen by men and thus draw men closer to Yahweh.

The book after the Gospels is not called Acts because it is fashioned after a play. It’s called Acts because it records the righteous deeds of the first century believers. Their righteousness was based upon the Torah and they lived their lives precisely so mankind could follow their lead and learn righteousness. This teaching is provided in pdf and video format because you matter and it is Yahweh’s desire that you be saved and learn to be righteous.

Why the Tree of Life is Our Logo

‘He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will grant to eat of the Tree of life which is in the Paradise of God.’
(Rev 2:7)

Adam and Eve had one commandment in the Garden of Eden and that was to not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. They were created immortal and given dominion over the earth with just this one rule, that they broke. After the fall, they were expelled from the Garden which separated them from the Tree of Life. This also separated all mankind from that tree which means we have been fallen, mortal beings ever since.

In the New Testament we learn about eternal life. God, who’s Name is Yahweh, has provided a mechanism for bridging the gap between mankind and eternal life through His Son, Yeshua. We know that the path to eternal life is to repent, accept Yeshua as the Messiah, be baptized, and then live a life of obedience. This lifestyle is outlined from Genesis to Revelation but is best illustrated through the life of Jesus the Christ, Yeshua the Messiah. He lived Torah perfectly and showed us how to keep the commandments, having died a sinless death for the sins of all who accept Him. He was resurrected by God and is now seated at His Right Hand. Yeshua is the Mediator between us and God and will return to judge the living and the dead.

The Tree of Life and the scripture verse that tells us plainly how to overcome is our logo. The recipe for attaining eternal life is comprised in one simple statement: Keep the Torah while believing in Yeshua. This represents the mission of this ministry. We strive to reach as many as possible with this simple message and help guide people into a walk that will lead us all to the Tree of Life.
