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!
Our Thanksgiving Offering
In this time of Passover, may we be witnesses to many others of the great redemption available to all who will come and behold Yeshua, our Passover Lamb!
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.
