In the month of spring when life emerges everywhere, God ordained that this would be the beginning of the year for His people. It is marked by an eight day celebration known as the week of Passover! It memorializes Jesus as savior, redeemer, and deliverer of Israel as well as all others who embrace Him as their Lord and Savior! This holy week is filled with joy, festivity, fellowship, and rest. Jesus is the reason for the season! It is all about Him, His people, and His redemption. Join...

Passover is the first of the annual holy days of our Father in Heaven. It is a week-long memorial to Him as our Savior and Deliverer from slavery in Egypt which is a picture of our slavery to sin and shame. Passover is fulfilled in Jesus! In this memorial, Jesus is revealed, exalted, and glorified among all who keep it. God commands us to observe it because He loves His Son who accomplished our redemption by His own bloody sacrificial death on the cross. As we keep it, we are kept. It centers...

Easter is the day that approximately 1.4 billion Catholics and 1 billion protestants will celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus. People ask us every year why we are not celebrating Easter. The short answer? It’s complicated! We do celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus but in a different context and on a different date! As Messianic Jews and Gentiles, we follow the biblical calendar. This is the calendar that God gave to Israel and as members and citizens of Israel (Eph. 2, Rom.11), we embrace and...

God is a God of order. He expects all of his children to honor and respect authority. The story of Esther give us a paradigm of how to relate to secular authorities as well as address abuses of power. We learn from Esther, that God gives us authority and power to use for the benefit of the oppressed and persecuted. How we exercise power is as important as the power itself. Join us as we explore the proper use of authority and power through the story of Esther.

We are called by God to influence our world for Him. The great commission outlines how we are to do it. Our national context determines the strategies in accomplishing it. Join us as we look afresh at our great commission and how to best accomplish it at this time, in our national context.

Last sermon, we established that all authority is from God and is to be submitted to for His glory. The question is, what do we do when authorities ask or command us to do something that violates the Word of God? Do we obey or disobey? What would Godly disobedience look like? In the Bible story of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, we are given a classic and model example of what it looks like to challenge and resist abusive, civil authority. It is a story of hope and faith amid persecution...

If there is one area today that is misunderstood by the followers of Jesus, it is the relevance of the Church and the state. More and more believers are checking out of their responsibilities to the Church and the state. It is time to turn around and return to our churches and constitutional republic before it’s too late! We are on the precipice of being uprooted and destroyed as a nation. It is time to return to our churches and constitutional republic before it’s too late!

Peter’s vision is the most often cited proof text for eliminating the biblical diet for God's people. However, a closer and careful read of the passage says something quite different. For those who are interested in a deeper, contextual read of Peter’s vision, we promise a surprising and insightful understanding of the dream. Thanks for joining us in the pursuit of the Biblical diet!

God is a Sanctifier! He makes things holy. He separates and lifts things up out of the sphere of the common or ordinary and makes them sacred and special. In Jesus, we go from the mass of unclean, defiled sinners to becoming his clean, holy, and special people! As a special and holy people, He gives us a special, holy diet! Join us as we take a deep dive into the realm of the biblical diet and what it imparts to us today.

Holiness is the concept of being set apart in a way that is markedly distinct and this concept originates in God. Holiness relates to believer's lifestyle in both our physical realm as well as the spiritual realm. We are to be different than the people of this world because our Father in heaven has called us to be like Him and He is holy! The big question is, what does it mean to be holy? What would it look like? How do we become holy? Join us as we dive into the beauty and wonder of holiness.

In this sermon, we will look at Biblical encounters with Jesus from Peter, Nathanael, and the woman at the well. These historical encounters with Jesus teach us much about our own. Join as we learn to encounter Jesus.

A community’s mission clarifies why it exists, while a vision casts where it wants to go. Our vision is (by the grace of God) to birth and establish Messianic congregations where Jewish and Gentile believers can unite, worship, fellowship, grow, and share our mission within the world we live. Part 3 of this sermon will continue to look at five core values that make up a healthy church.

Part 1 of this sermon will look at what defines a church/congregation.

A mission defines and shapes who we are today. It determines our values, beliefs, purpose, and work. A congregation without a mission is like a ship without a rudder. It floats but never goes anywhere, cannot avert danger, nor can it bring us to a desired destination. In this teaching we will explain the mission of the Harvest. Understanding and fulfilling your congregation’s mission will result in you and your congregation doing your part to advance the Kingdom of Messiah on earth as it is...

By the first century, the name of the Festival of Hanukkah gave way to another name, the Festival of Lights. It is interesting to note that the main symbol for Hanukkah is the 9 branched Hanukkiah. It is most likely that the lights of the Hanukkiah gave rise to the new name, the Festival of Lights. In this teaching we will explore the mystery of Jesus’ connection to the Festival of Lights and why it should matter to you.

We left off last week studying Daniel's prophecy of the little horn of Greece (Antiochus Epiphanes). This week we will jump into the Hanukkah story and discuss Antiochus Epiphanes implementing his evil agenda to subjugate and enslave the people of God. This is what godless elites do. They are the offspring of the serpent and live to oppress and terrorize the people of God. Mattathias Maccabee and his followers represent the faithful few; a remnant that resists evil powers and agendas. These...

God warned His people through His prophet Daniel, that a wicked king would arise in the kingdom of Greece and subsequently attack Jerusalem, take control of and defile the temple, and destroy the people of Israel. In the Apostolic Scriptures, this king is an anti-Christ. In fact, he will go down in history as the greatest anti-Christ of the Greek Empire. He is a forerunner to the coming anti-Christ of the Roman Empire. These and other anti-Christs are types and shadows of the ones that are...

We are living in an era that violently rages against Israel, the Jewish people, and Christians. Our way of life is under attack and the hate filled terror we are witnessing in Israel is spreading around the world. This is not new. It has played out over and over again throughout history. Hanukkah is one of those stories of the terror that came to us under the Greek empire. The lessons this story contains are the very truths that will give us the strength to persevere, and to defend our way...

Evil is all around us and it has Israel, the Jewish people, and followers of Jesus in its cross hairs. This started in the Garden of Eden and has been accelerating ever since. But God is our champion! He has sent His Son to deliver us! He has equipped us and will use us to rescue others from the attack of the enemy. The word of the Lord to you is: fear not, for I am with you!

Many nations are calling for the destruction and elimination of Israel. They loudly proclaim their anti-Israel chants and have even resorted to threats, intimidation, and even violence. The problem? The God of Israel has promised to give her not only the land of Israel but all the nations. In and through Jesus, we can all find redemption, peace, and prosperity. It is offered to the Jews first, and then to all the Gentiles. If we reject this and buy into the lies of Satan, we will find...

The nations, inflamed by the evil one, are forever trying to destroy Israel, the Jewish people, and those who follow her Messiah, Jesus. This recent attack is the most shocking the world has ever seen and it is not over, it is just beginning. The nations right now are lining up either for or against her. People everywhere are doing the same thing. Today, we will continue to look into this war against God’s people and why you, as followers of Jesus, are also in the cross hairs. More...
