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.

Teachings about Yeshua the Messiah such as who He is, what His Name means, and why belief in Him is so important.
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.

How Paul Preached Jesus From the Old Testament: The Messiah Explained From Torah
How did the apostle Paul preach Jesus (Yeshua) as the Messiah to Gentiles who had no knowledge of the Torah or the prophets?
In this in‑depth Bible teaching, we explore how the Messiah is revealed throughout the Old Testament, long before the New Testament existed. Paul and the apostles proclaimed the gospel using Genesis, the Psalms, Deuteronomy, and the Prophets, proving that Yeshua is God’s anointed servant‑king promised from the beginning.
This teaching covers:
- Why first‑century Gentiles did not understand the concept of a Messiah
- How Paul preached the gospel without a New Testament
- The true biblical meaning of Messiah (Mashiach) and Christ (Christos)
- Why Scripture repeatedly refers to God’s “anointed one”
- How Moses, David, Saul, and the prophets foreshadowed the ultimate Messiah
- The relationship between Yahweh, the Messiah, and divine authority
- Why repentance and accepting the Messiah cannot be separated
- Why you cannot fully understand Jesus without the Old Testament
This message restores the Hebrew foundation of faith and demonstrates that the Messiah is not hidden in Scripture—He is revealed everywhere once you know how to read the Bible as one unified story.
If you have ever wondered whether you can truly preach Jesus from the Torah, this teaching provides a clear, scriptural answer.
