This week we look at the sons of Noach. We discuss how entering into a new world would be like and what are the things that are brought from the old world into the new. We look at the cursing of Canaan and how the drunkeness of Noach, the offspring of Noach's sons all connect to Acts 2 and the day of Shavuot.

This week we discuss the end of the Deluge and the beginning of the renewed era of mankind through Noach. We discuss the importance of the covenant of the rainbow and how that has been used today to promote a movement that is one of the prime causes of the Deluge in the first instance. We also discuss how this moment in biblical history destroys many of the arguments being made today regarding the viewpoints of the environmental movement.

In this study we discuss the preconceptions that we might have because of our current day environment, and how that influences our understanding of the events around the Deluge. We also discuss the importance of why the time in the Ark is specified so exactly and how it impacts events in the future.

Our discussion this week looks at the beginning of the instruction to Noach to build the Ark. We discuss the principle that not all commandments make sense to us but they may be essential to our survival. Our purpose is obedience to the instruction so that the Creator's will is fulfilled. This is the first part of our discussions about the how the events of Noach impact our undertstanding of the two Hebrew calendars that work within each other and how they both work toward the establishing of the Messianic Kingdom.

This week we discuss the reasons behind Cain's actions and how they impact the rest of his life and his lineage. We look at the contrast of Cain's lineage to the lineage of Seth and how would we react if in the same position as Cain.

This week we look at the story of Cain and Abel. We discuss how even though the commandments have not been codified as they were at Horeb, the actions of humanity are still subject to their rule as they are an inherent part of the nature of Adonai and all of His Creation.

This week we look at the spiritual importance of Shabbat, not just as a break in the week's proceedings, but discovering how it is root of spiritual clothing or nakedness.
We compare the places where the "taking" of something that was forbidden is associated with Shabbat and how slavery and loss of privilege to enjoy the provision of GOD begins with this major event at the beginning of mankind's relationship with the Creator, Creation and each other.

If the Torah is the instruction manual showing how and how not to remain in relationship and blessing with the Father, then the mitzvot/commandments are the steppingstones toward sanctification.
Our new series begins to look at the Mitzvot, the commandments as they are set out in each of the first five books of Torah following the 3 year Torah cycle. Maimonides sets out 613 commandments. As we will discover, this is only part of the story as we also look at how these were set out not just in Tanakh but also the Apostolic writings.

In this episode that was recorded on the afternoon of Yom Kippur 2024/5785, we discuss how Yom Kippur and Pesach are connected. We also look at why the Yovel/Jubilee is declared at Yom KIppur and the connection that makes with what is known as the most solemn day on the Hebrew calendar and how we as Messianic believers approach the Fast.

In the final study of the series in the Trei Asar - the 12 Prophets, we look at the ministry of Elijah, John as Elijah and Elijah as one of the Two Witnesses in Revelation 11. We discuss the similarities and differences and what they speak of for us today regarding Israel, the believing communtiy, the church and the future prophetic events.
