The King in the Field: When Heaven Meets Earth Throughout Scripture, Yahweh establishes sacred appointments with His people, marking specific seasons for divine encounter. The ancient parable of "the King in the field" beautifully illustrates how our Heavenly Father approaches us during times of preparation and reflection. Imagine a king who, instead of requiring his people to come to the palace with elaborate ceremony, chooses to...

 

The Tree of Knowledge, or The Tree of Life. Which Will YOU Choose?

When we examine the Garden of Eden narrative, we often focus exclusively on the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Yet Scripture reveals two significant trees: the tree of life positioned in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

Yahweh's instruction to Adam was clear: eat from every tree except one. This divine command suggests...

A Banquet of Joy: Our Divine Invitation

Yeshua's parable of the wedding feast reveals the eternal invitation extended to us by our Heavenly Father. In Matthew 22 and Luke 14, we see a king preparing a magnificent banquet for his son's wedding, calling forth guests to participate in this celebration of covenant relationship.

The original invitees made excuses, prioritizing worldly concerns over the King's invitation. One purchased ...

Go Fishin' - A Call to Discipleship

In Matthew 28:18-20, Yeshua delivers His final commission with absolute authority, commanding us to make disciples of all nations while teaching obedience to His commandments. This mandate connects directly to His earlier call when He promised to make His followers "fishers of men."

The powerful illustration in John 21:1-6 reveals how easily we drift back to familiar patterns when circumstances ...

The Sermons on the Mounts: Two Mountains, One Message

When we examine the teachings Yeshua delivered on the mountain in Matthew 5-7, we discover something: these words do not contradict the instructions given at Mount Sinai, but rather reveal their deepest spiritual meaning. The Sermon on the Mount represents Yeshua's divine interpretation of Torah, showing us how the eternal principles given through Moses find their ultimate expr...

The Law of Liberty: Walking in Covenant Relationship

The heart of biblical faith centers on covenant relationship with Yahweh, established through redemption and sustained through His Word. This understanding reveals that Yeshua came not to abolish the Torah but to fulfill it, demonstrating how we should walk in righteousness after receiving new life.

Once redeemed, we need guidance on how to live in a way that pleases Yahweh. The...

The account of the blind man in Mark 8:22-25 reveals interesting truths about Yeshua's healing ministry and our spiritual transformation. When brought to Yeshua in Bethsaida, the blind man experienced a unique two-stage healing that demonstrates how our Messiah not only heals but makes us completely whole.

After Yeshua applied saliva to the man's eyes and laid hands on him, the man declared, "I see people, but they look like trees...

The Heart of Worship (thoughts for the month of Tammuz)

Just one month after Israel heard Yahweh's voice at Mount Sinai, they fashioned a golden calf and declared, "Tomorrow shall be a feast to Yahweh." This reveals the dangerous tendency to worship our ideas while invoking His sacred Name, the ultimate deception that transforms worship into idolatry.

The golden calf incident warns against fashioning Elohim according to our prefer...

Grace and Justice: The Divine Balance

Throughout the tapestry of Scripture, grace and justice emerge not as opposing forces but as harmonious expressions of Yahweh's character. The psalmist beautifully captures this divine balance: "Mercy and truth have met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other" (Psalm 85:10).

The grace bestowed upon each believer remains constant; none require more or less than what Yahweh pro...

Perception or Reality_Don't Believe Everything You See 061425

Our human perception often creates a distorted lens through which we view circumstances, filtered by past experiences, expectations, and personal biases. This fundamental disconnect between appearance and reality becomes particularly evident in Israel's wilderness experience when twelve spies were sent to reconnoiter the Promised Land.

The spies' report reveals how pers...

The Prophetic Heart of Torah: Moshe's Bronze Serpent and Mashiach's Redemption

The Torah unveils prophetic truths that reveal Yahweh's redemptive heart toward His covenant people. Within its ancient narratives lies a stunning messianic blueprint, perfectly demonstrated in Moshe's bronze serpent account from Numbers 21. When Israel faced judgment through fiery serpents due to their complaints and faithlessness, Yahweh commanded Mos...

Mikveh (Baptism): Restoration Through Yeshua's Cleansing

The ancient practice of mikveh reveals Yahweh's profound desire for intimate relationship with His people. Throughout Scripture, ritual immersion served as preparation for entering Elohim's presence—from priestly consecration to purification from uncleanness. This sacred act symbolizes spiritual transformation: death to the old self and resurrection to new life. Through Yesh...

The Purpose and Power of the Ruach HaKodesh

The Ruach HaKodesh moves with divine purpose—not merely for signs and wonders, but to transform believers from within. Throughout Scripture, from Joseph to Solomon, from David to the apostles, the Spirit equipped Yahweh's servants with wisdom, understanding, and power.

Teach us to pray

Shalom y’all, this week we talk about prayer. There are so many things we can learn about prayer, but to me, the most important thing to remember is that prayer is a connection to YHWH. It can be private and personal but also open in a group or part of worship. With so many thoughts on prayer, or maybe the temptation to make it a “formula”, could be a reason Yeshua's disciples asked Him to teach them to pray.
