Messages on Matthew (Page 6)
Pure and Undefiled Religion
God is looking for people with a heart of love for Him and for His people! From the place of pursuing God with a pure heart, we are then free and enabled to love each other well and bring about restoration.
Overcoming Offense
In all of that we endure, we have the choice to become those who lift up or those who tear down. We must guard our hearts and minds, always pursuing truth and goodness out of a base of love and peace, for the love of God can redeem!
God is Generous!
We have received great blessings from God – a good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over. From the overflow we too are to be generous!
Sanctifying the New Moon
Proclaiming the Appointed Times at the time appointed for them is not as easy as it sounds! It’s a complex process and has been the subject of much debate.
Spiritual Cleansing
Cleansing one of spiritual contamination from evil speech involves more than just removal of the bad habit. One must also form good habits and speak words of life.
Preparing Our Holy Sanctuary
In Mark 7, Yeshua says what proceeds out of a man is what defiles him. Contrary to popular belief, Yeshua says nothing about what one eats, but only about what remains inside a person, which are matters of the heart.
The Journey from Passover to Shavuot
On the journey from Passover to Shavuot, we count the 50 days of the omer. In this time we reflect on our spiritual growth preparing ourselves so we will be found faithful at the return of Yeshua our Messiah!
The First Fruit of the Resurrection
Yeshua our Messiah is the first fruit offering presented in the heavenly Temple as the first fruit of the resurrection, providing the way for the coming harvest of souls at the end of this age!
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.
Taken Low to Go High
Joseph was brought low so that he might receive the promotion God intended for him – that he would be raised up as a savior for Israel.
