Join us as we take a look at Y’shua’s parable of the lost sheep.  Who really are these sheep?  Is there more to this than simply finding one lost sheep?  

We find ourselves on an interesting and important road after hearing Y’shua say multiple times He came only for the lost sheep of the House of Yisrah-el’.  In this message we will examine exactly how a gentile beach kid from Santa Barbara, came to be a member of the House of Yisrah-el’, the very people Y’shua was looking for. 

In this two-part message we will cover a lot of ground and discover some foundational truths often overlooked in the typical lost sheep message. 

Join us as we take a look at the meaning of the new wine and old wineskin, and the new patch on old clothes, and what it does not say.  This set of Parables begins with the calling of Levi, and the Pharisees accusation of Y’shua for breaking mans law.   

As usual we will look at this from a slightly Hebraic outlook and perhaps learn some new ways to understand what Y’shua was teaching us.

Join us as we look into “do not despise small things”.  Often, we are more interested in the larger more dramatic issues and promises.  The big popular church, the famous smooth-talking pastor, the fastest and most expensive automobile, but Scripture reminds us that Yahuah will do great things with small stuff.  It may be our ministry seems small and insignificant, but that is not true, at least the insignificant part. We will see King Zerubbabel rebuild the temple and some of the old men who had seen the last temple cried about how small it was compared to the previous temple.  You can guess the result. We will have a look at “fig leaf people”, that is, those who make coverings for themselves, ya know, those who only show up now and again, sit in the back row leave early, generally don’t want to get involved.  They have too much to do to be a useful part of the body.  We will spend time in Luke and Matthew Ezra and Zechariah so tune in.

Join us today as we take a quick look at the Torah portion and beyond and then focus on one of the most important chapters in Scripture.  B’ray-sheeth or Genesis 24.  In this chapter we see how it is we have become the gentile bride of the Jewish Son, Heir to all the Father has.   This will challenge the understanding some have that the Jews will need to “get saved” or “become Christians” before they can go to Heaven. 

This week we read about Abram being called out of Ur of the Casdeem and discover the story of his youth as described in the book of Yasher (Jasher) chapters 8 and 9.    The account of a young Abram helps to explain why he was so quick to accept anything Yahuah told him and act.   We have a look at why Abram is called the first Hebrew even though he really is not.  

We will see Abraham again separating himself from the rest of his family namely Lot, and heading to the wilderness of Canaan.  The mighty 4 kings swing in and take the cities of the plain and Lot with all his belongings.  Abram mounts a counter offensive and destroys the most effective fighting force of the day to retrieve Lot and the rest of the people of the plain.  

A strange character named Melchizedek prince of peace king of righteousness.  Yahuah makes a covenant with Abram to assure his the promises are true, but his seed will spend 400 years in bondage and will come out with great wealth.  We learn about Hagar and Ishmael, and the promise of Yetzok.

All of this leads to a question, why do we see Abram and later Y’shua as all "sunshine and rainbows?"  Abram was the premier fighting machine of the day who slaughtered 4 kings and armies, and Y’shua ….  When He came the first-time, healings and life was the order of the day, but when He comes back it will be as one who crushes kings and countries, fills the valleys with bodies ,and He comes as an unquenchable fire.  

A lot going on for sure, and as we see the world heading towards the possibility of world war and the return of Y’shua, some honest reflection and humility might be the reason behind all of the things we see today.   Are you ready?

The Word of Yahuah is our instruction and guidepost.  Many who try to follow God’s word completely and separate it from man’s wisdom, the people who believe they are, and may well be, on the narrow path, are sometimes confused by the events of the world or their own lives because it just does not seem like God should allow these events to happen.

 Joins us today as we begin by skimming over the weeks Torah portion, Noach (Noah), and look at how Yahuah has used events similar to today in the past.

 Currently we are in the midst of a horrific war in Yisrah-el’ with the Edomites committing atrocities we are struggling to comprehend.  The inhumanity being perpetrated on the citizens of Yisrah-el’ is causing many to wonder out loud where is God in all this?  Last week we talked about the need for repentance and restoration, and some of the ways that comes about, including humility about our situations.

 This week I want to look at this in a different way.  Many times God’s people have been taken captive, we don’t read the actual horror involved in the 66 books, but many extra biblical books show us that in many cases they are worse than what we are currently seeing in Yisrah-el’.  We come to find that in each case God’s purposes were fulfilled in ways we did not expect to see.

 My desire is to assist us in better determining how to pray, and to trust that He is not asleep at the wheel, As it turns out, like it always does, He has already given us the answer if we are willing to look for it. 

Today the scroll is rolled back to the beginning, and we begin again by looking at B’ray-sheeth 1:1 the creation to 6:8, which brought about the Flood of Naoch. 

It seems like a lot of information to pack into one parsha but essentially we will be looking at God's creation and His people up to the time when every man’s heart was evil continually and Yahauh repented that He had even made man and destroyed everything. 

Many of us have read this section every year for decades and have been able to look at many of the messages contained, to learn much about Yahuah and His plans.  But this year as the scroll rewound, Hamas, the Hebrew word for violence by the way, attacked Yisrah-el’ in a way they had never been able to before.  Hezbollah in the North is preparing to enter the war, Iran is funding and threatening, most of the world is or can be expected to turn against Yisrah-el’.  

We are living in the times of Noach and for the next few weeks we will be looking at what all of this might mean, far past the first ten generations, perhaps right to our time today.  Why would Yahuah allow this?  Stay tuned, buckle up, and look to Him … remember He only gives good gifts.

Join us tonight as we look at Caleb the gentile and what made him have a different kind of spirit.  Do you want Yahuah to say of you that you also had a different spirit than most calling themselves believers? More importantly, do you want to find at the end that you will die in the wilderness because you did not stand up like Caleb and proclaim the truth of Yahuah?

Tonight we will have a brief look at the way the world is, how we are being targeted, overwhelmed and why. A simplified version of the very complex attack against humanity. And while this may be disturbing to some, it is actually great news because it proves the Bible is 100% correct in its account of the days prior to Y’shua’s return.

Join us as we have a look at “the other side” of Shavout.  No, it's not Pentecost. No, it’s not the birth of the Roman Catholic Church. No, it’s not the day when the “holy spirit” fell on all man-kind. No, it does not always fall on the first day of the week (Sunday).

It is an ordained Feast unto Yahuah, it is the close of the Pesach, the counting of the Omer, the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Y’shua, it is very important to Yahuah that His people, understand the messages of the feast and how they tie everything during the past 52 days together.

I used the verses out of the Book of Jubilees as found in the Cepher.
