Hebrews: A Jewish Epistle in Contemporary Times, A Great Cloud of Witnesses Speaking
The author of Hebrews is writing to Jewish believers in Messiah Yeshua/Jesus who are considering turning back, to what? To the angels, to the Temple, to Moses, to Aaron, to the sacrifices, to their past. In a powerful and profound way, the author is speaking not only to the hearts of Jewish disciples who are wavering under the pressure of following ...

From their calling, to their garments, to their calling and anointing, the Levitical priesthood can reveal much about the priest in Messiah Yeshua/Jesus. Is there specific meaning to the anointing oil or the incense? Do we find a theology of clothing that is part of the priestly ministry? What does any of this have to do with our ministry and faith in Messiah Yeshua/Jesus? Give a listen!
References: Exodus 25:8; Exodus 28:1-3; ...
From the coverings and curtains we turn to the heart of the matter. The Apostle James gives us powerful instruction regarding looking in a mirror, what element in the Tabernacles may have influenced his words? In this episode we will consider closely the washing of the priest and the prayer of the priest. What do these type things share in common? Give a listen!
References: Exodus 25:8; Psalm 77:13; Exodus 30:17-21; Numbers 38:...
Distinctions, paradox, closeness, and distance are all caught up in the small space called the Tabernacle. While it seems to be a nondescript tent in the wilderness, it does, in fact, become the place where the Lord dwells among His people. In this episode we consider seemingly insignificant details of boards, sockets, bases, curtains, bars, and an Altar. How do these elements deepen our understanding of our relationship with Messi...
The Lord revealed His desire to abide with His people through the fabrication of a humble tent. This tent would be woven together by those whose hearts moved them, and in whom the Spirit would abide. From a distance this tent did not look like much, but when you were drawn in one could behold the glory of the One who dwelled with the children of Israel. In this episode we study the design and meaning of the Menorah, the curtains an...
In this episode of Messiah in Life we look closely at the foundation of the Tabernacle, the Holy Ark, as well as the Table of Shewbread. In both of these elements we find types that direct us to Messiah Yeshua/Jesus. What does the Ark and the Table teach of about Yeshua, about those in Yeshua, and sharing in His remembrance. Give a listen!
References: Exodus 25:8, 10-22, 23-30; Romans 12:1; 15:16; Ephesians 2:22; 5:26; 1 Corint...
We do not always recognize it, but the language of the Tabernacle permeates our language of faith. How can we understand the purpose, meaning, and typological importance of a rather nondescript tent in the wilderness some 3500 years ago? Why did the Lord command a dwelling place? How did the people respond? What do these questions teach us about faith in Messiah? Give a listen.
References: Exodus 25:1-9; Romans 12:1; 15:16; Ep...
The 11th commandment?! Well, not exactly. How can we sum up the Ten Commandments? Is there a practical way of viewing and applying them in life today? In this episode of Messiah in Life we take a lesson from one of my teachers and look at it through a biblical lens in messianic faith. Give a listen!
References: Luke 10:25-37; Leviticus 19:16, 18, 34; John 15:13.
The tenth commandment specifically addresses the interior life of humanity. Who or what are we dwelling on? What does that thought produce in us and through us? What sanctity does this command of the Lord guard? Give a listen.
References: Exodus 20:17; Leviticus 19:17-18; Exodus 25:1-2; James 1:13-15; Ephesians 5:5; 1 Corinthians 12:31; Proverbs 18:22; 1 Peter 2:2; 1 Timothy 3:1; Romans 7:7-12; Galatians 5:22-23; 2 Timothy 1:7;...
The Passover Table stimulates questions for both children and adults. From the simple, "why are we doing this?" To the famous, "when do we eat?” The Seder night is truly a night different from all other nights. In this episode of Messiah in Life, we consider a small view of the Passover that leads us to understand the opening invitation: "Whoever is hungry, let him and eat!" Give a listen!

How do we sanctify the truth in order to safeguard justice? Is there something more to the ninth commandment than meets the eye? Let us consider the heart and application of this commandment in this episode!
References: Exodus 20:16; Exodus 23:1-3; Deuteronomy 16:19-20; Deuteronomy 19:15-19; John 14:6; 1 John 1:9-10.
Does the 8th commandment only speak to theft? The impact of experiencing robbery or theft can last for years. Could this be why the penalty for stealing was so severe? In this episode of Messiah in Life we consider the 8th commandment in light of messianic faith, and draw from a number of sources to unpack the broad and specific meaning of this commandment.
References: Exodus 20:15; 21:16; 22:1-15; 1 Corinthians 6:9-10; Psalm ...
Is there a connection between the 6th commandment and the 7th commandment? Or the 5th and the 7th? Why is adultery wrong? Why does the Lord dedicate a command against it? There is, at its heart, a deep connection between marital fidelity and religious fidelity, as the married life is to be a mirror, even an image of the relationship between God and man. Perhaps this is why this sin is spoken against so strongly, and how it forces u...
Two little words in Hebrew can and have been greatly misunderstood. How do we understand this, the sixth commandment? Is it a prohibition about killing or murder? Is there any spiritual or interior meaning to this command that will help restrain an attitude that could lead to violent action against the human other? Give a listen.
References: Exodus 20:13; Genesis 9:5-6; Matthew 5:21-25.
Perhaps not as controversial as the fourth commandment, for many it certainly creates more emotional angst. How should we understand this command? Is it absolute? Are there exceptions to the rule? What is the heart of this commandment, and what does it teach us?
References: Exodus 20:12; Matthew 19:19; Ephesians 6:1; Matthew 21:28-30; Ephesians 6:1-3; Matthew 5:17-20.
