Life is in the Blood
Would it be surprising to hear that sacrifices were brought with joy? And that the sacrifices weren’t about the death of the animal, but rather about the life that is in the blood?
Seeing With Spiritual Eyes
Things aren’t always what they seem. In these times we need to see beyond the physical. We need spiritual eyes to see what God is doing! From this position of faith we can partner with Him to bring restoration.
What is Grace?
Grace comes from the Hebrew word “Chen”, which is translated throughout the Tanach as favor – specifically, merited favor. So if grace is merited favor, why do we say grace is unmerited favor?
Intercession of the Priests
The priesthood represented God to the people, and represented the people to God. The High Priest wore garments of glory and splendor and carried on his shoulders and over his heart a remembrance of the Children of Israel when he entered into God’s presence.
Preparing a Sanctuary for God
When God asks for contributions from His people to build a place for Him to dwell, He asks it from those who will freely give from the heart. Not out of obligation, but out of desire to be close to Him.
A New Covenant
God’s covenants are relational, each one building upon the other in progressive revelation of His character and bringing about His plan of restoration.
God is Really For Us
We often miss the hand of God at work in our lives in normal events, but in moments when we see the puzzle fitting together, we know God is really for us.
We Live by Faith
Moses knew he was destined for greatness but saw that hope dashed. His hope was reborn, but he had to persevere in faith to overcome.
We were made for something extraordinary. And God sets us free that we may become what he has purposed from the beginning.
The Covenant Keeping God
The Name of God implies His unchanging nature and His faithfulness to keep His word. He acts in accordance with His name and keeps His covenant.
Greater and Lesser Commandments
Yeshua demonstrates the method for determining what is a greater commandment and what is a lesser commandment in Matthew 12. Far from abolishing a commandment, He upholds all of the commandments and shows that compassion is foundational to Torah.
