I go over some specifics in regards to the actual, literal speaking of common words that may stem from pagan origin, and then move into tracking the various Hebrew words behind the word lord in the English Bible. Some points about the name YHWH are covered as well. 

This section begins to detail a dispute that Stephen (a disciple of the Apostles) had with some in his hometown synagogue. Stephen’s wisdom, and face, showed forth that he was truly sent by Yeshua.

I begin exegeting the second part of Exodus 23:13, looking at the meaning of the Hebrew word zakar, and then asking the question of how far we go in obedience to this command.

There are commandments and there are traditions of men. We are to be strict in one, and loose in the other. I cover the Hebrew word “shamar,” and the English word “circumspect” in this sermon.

A sermon calling us to imitate the Master in his desire to see people enter a relationship with him and his Father.

Taking a look at the speciality of prophet Moshe, as well as the Torah (Law, Instructions) Yahweh gave through him. 

Yahweh has blessed you by putting someone (and probably a few someone’s) in your life that is a good person. Never take that for granted. 

What the apostles of Yeshua decided to do was based off of what prophet Moses did back in his day. The leaders in a community should always carry righteous qualities and characteristics, in order to set a good example for everyone following. 

To close out this series on Pentecost I take time to answer the three most common objections I hear against the view I take. Pay attention closely because there are some key points in how to do proper Bible study in this lesson.

I take a look at some key Scriptures about the harvest timing of both wheat and grapes, showing the connection between an ancient prophecy and the Apostle Peter’s preaching.

What if the numbering of the fifty days doesn’t take place until after the seventh Sabbath? This lesson walks through the narrative in the book of Exodus surrounding Mount Sinai, going through several points that lead me in this direction.

I continue teaching on Pentecost here, specifically looking at what is counted as commanded in both Leviticus and Deuteronomy. I also go into some points concerning lunar vs. Saturday sabbath.

In Acts 6 we turn a new leaf. Peter has been doing a lot of preaching, but we now get into an aspect of how some important matters were handled in the early, Messianic community. Listen to learn of how the Apostles actually took their cue here from the Torah.

I focus in on the various positions throughout history among groups that have been committed to counting for Pentecost. Towards the end I talk about the position our assembly takes and why.

This sermon encourages us to not let go of the commandments that are directly from a person to Yahweh, and then goes over the four different names given to the second of the three major annual festivals in Yahweh’s honor. 

The Apostles are in trouble again for spreading the message about the death and resurrection of Yeshua of Nazareth, and they almost get the death sentence, but a wise man stand up for them in their time of trouble. Listen to learn how we should be honored to be persecuted for faith in the Messiah.

The Apostles go on trial for preaching about Yeshua, specifically about indicting the Jewish leaders with his murder. They’ve disobeyed the ruling of the Sanhedrin, which is punishable by death according to Torah. How in the world then are they innocent in Yahweh’s eyes?

I give a brief quotation from Emperor Constantine’s letter to the churches after the council of Nicaea, contrasting it with Holy Scripture, and then move into understanding more about the timeline of Yeshua’s death and resurrection.
