B.E.S.T. Shabbat

The Atonement, Part 1 Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, "Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God Day and night, has been cast down. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death. (Rev 12:10-11 NKJV) To listen to the audio-only version click below  Giving Opportunity Message The hour we live in is a great struggle for people of faith. The accuser of the brothers and sisters of faith is at war with those who love and serve Yeshua. We see this handiwork of evil through the attack on the validity of the Gospel as the gateway of salvation for mankind through the expression of the love of God. Science and the exaltation of human intellect is being portrayed as the true solution for mankind’s self-destructive nature. This is a twisting of the truth to fit a narrative whi...

"“Truly, truly, I say to you, the one who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life." Joh 5:24 (NASB) To listen to the audio-only version click below  Death and the fear of death are ubiquitous in the human experience. Mortality frightens most of us even though it is common to all of us. Death shows us how weak we are and how vulnerable we can be in our human vessel. All of us must deal with death and the fear of it on our own terms. The atonement of our Messiah was enacted through His death. The writer of the ancient set of letters written to the Hebrew people in the dispersion, tells us: "Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise also partook of the same, so that through death He might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, and free those who through fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives." He...

​ "The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, "On exactly the tenth day of this seventh month is the day of atonement; it shall be a holy convocation for you,  and you shall humble your souls   and present an offering by fire to the LORD. " You shall not do any work on this same day , for it is a day of atonement, to make atonement on your behalf before the LORD your God. " If there is any person who will not humble himself on this same day , he shall be cut off from his people. " As for any person who does any work on this same day , that person I will destroy from among his people. " You shall do no work at all . It is to be a perpetual statute throughout your generations in all your dwelling places. "It is to be a sabbath of complete rest to you, and  you shall humble your souls ; on the ninth of the month at evening, from evening until evening you shall keep your sabbath.""  Lev 23:26-32 (NASB) Click here to listen to " Yom Kippur - Th...

But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth. (1Jn 2:20) Click here to listen to " The Anointing and Hope " Last session, we looked at the critical nature of association considering the image we carry on the inside of us that literally projects our destiny.   We don’t get the future we want; we get the future we picture! This isn’t about just visualization; it is also about the one who visualizes. The most important image we carry on the inside is how we see ourselves, in the light of God. Look with me at James 1:23-25. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like . But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom and continues in it--not forgetting what they have heard but doing it--they will be blessed in what they do. (Jas 1:23-25) The mirror is the reflec...
