Standing before the Burning Bush
Last week I spoke on “How to Know G-d.” This week I want to touch upon a Believer’s standing before Our Creator. My message is entitled: “Standing before the Burning Bush.” Before I get into the message let me tell you a story about a man who encountered his ‘burning bush” while on a tour… Read more »
Nehemiah G-d’s Standard for a Leader
As I walk about the synagogue, I sometimes overhear conversations and many times I reflect upon what I have heard. Often my reflections lead to a message. This message is a result of one of those times. The genesis of this message came when I overheard Norm teaching Matt about the Temples and who constructed… Read more »
Melchizedek a Type of the Messiah
INTRODUCTION: This week’s Parsha addresses the commandments of YHVH Elohim as pertains to the Levitical priesthood. Since the Temple was destroyed in 70 CE, and the Temple sacrifices ceased it behooves us to take a closer look at our High Priest, Yahshua HaMashiach. We need to understand that His Priesthood is after a different order… Read more »
The Gospel According to John
Tonight we want to examine the Book of John not only from the surface or its literate value. We shall also see it from a different perspective where we will see that the structure of this book follows the blueprint of the structure of the Tabernacle.

Dying to Self and Following Yahshua
In the past you have heard me speak of Kabbalah and the most important perquisite to studying this discipline is self-nullification. To put it another way self-nullification is “to die to self.” This principle of dying to “self” is prominently found in the Sermon on the Mount. This is the subject of my message today…. Read more »
Blessed are the Poor in Spirit
Recently, I had a conversation with a pastor who teaches that the “Body of Christ” must attain a certain level of holiness or righteousness before the Messiah will return, and set up His earthly Kingdom. The converse of this idea is that Yahshua’s return is dependant upon our righteousness. I might add his interpretation of… Read more »
RUTH-Rut
Ruth means “friendship” It is a tradition to read Ruth on every Shavuot. This little book of four chapters holds many doctrinal and theological concepts that are meaningful to us as Messianic believers. Besides redemption, which by the way occurs 23 times in this book, another of the central truths in the Book of Ruth… Read more »
