The parables of the wineskins and garments by our Messiah are often interpreted to be best understood as out with the old, and in with the new, even replacement theology.  We have a different perspective.

Did the disciples of Messiah break the Sabbath when they plucked grains? Did Messiah indicate the Sabbath no longer mattered? Could he do whatever he wanted on the Sabbath because he was lord of the Sabbath as declared in the Matthew 12:1-8, Mark 2:23-28, and Luke 6:1-5 accounts? 

So many times people are asked “are you saved?”  But how many can answer the question “what is salvation?” What does it mean to be saved?

 Some people believe that only the KJV is the true Word of the Creator. Some go so far as to make outrageous and even dangerous claims about those who do not use it. What are some of these claims? Are all of their claims about the KJV true? Join us in testing KJV Onlyism, should all believers only be using the King James Version? 

King Herod the Great is mentioned very little in Scripture, yet his existence and actions had a profound impact on the life of Messiah. But who was he? What does history tell us about the man who was afraid of the coming “King of the Jews”? 

 In part 3 of What is the Gospel? we look at the gospel as revealed in the blessings and curses of obedience and disobedience to the Torah. We also see the gospel as it relates to the reunification of the whole nation of Israel, returning the House of Israel and merging it with the House of Judah with the new covenant. 

Scripture can teach us some lessons from Paul’s visit to Athens and his speech at the Areopagus (Mars Hill) found in Acts 17. A few of these lessons include how we approach a topic with someone whose views differ from ours, to not back down, and how to engage with them.

 A mainstream teaching is that you should live “your best life now,” but that is contradictory to the eternal perspective Scripture gives us. You should live the best you can now according to Scripture in order to live your best life later. 

 The Psalms teach us many things from how we should live to reminders of the Creator’s goodness and mercy. As we begin continue our bible study with studies in Psalms, we hear first of the way of the righteous in Psalm 1. Do you follow the way of the righteous or the way of the wicked? 

 In Matthew 24:20 the Messiah tells us to hope that fleeing on the Sabbath is not something to be desired. Why is this? What did he mean by this and what may be some greater implications of such a statement?
