Hastening the Messianic Era
Why did Yeshua curse the fig tree when He found no fruit on it? What connection did this have to the coming exile? And now, as the exile continues and we await His return, how can we hasten the coming of the Messianic Era?
The Good Zealot and the Money Changers
Being described as a zealot is not normally a good thing in today’s culture. However, the good zealot is concerned with the relationship between God and His people, and acts out of love to eliminate that which causes separation.
Divine Reversals
A false prophet came, riding on a donkey to curse and destroy Israel. But God delivered His people from the adversary’s scheme. Then the True Prophet came, riding on a donkey to bless and redeem Israel.
From Death to Life!
Some commandments of God defy reason, such as the Red Heifer and raising of the bronze serpent, yet they are not without purpose. Through Messiah Yeshua, God has revealed the hidden purposes, and through Him has given us the way to life!
Law and Order
God has created order and offices within the assembly. Confusion reigns when we do not honor those boundaries and distinctions. We need to abide by what God has established, or we may find ourselves drifting into the attitude of Korah.
Raising Up Righteous Shepherds
Throughout time, God has raised up shepherds to lead His people back to Him so they can fulfill their calling. God declared that He Himself would seek the lost and appoint His Messiah as the shepherd.
Life and Death in the Tongue
This week we discuss the peril of complaining, the power of the tongue, and the importance of remembering that the arm of the Lord has not become short.
The Call of the Nazirite

Drawing Near Through Sacrifice
A primary reason for the sacrifices is to draw near to God. It is not through the death of the sacrifice, but through its life (blood) that one draws near. Through Yeshua’s blood (life), we draw near to the Father in the heavenly tabernacle.
