Messianic Shabbat - The Harvest

Jesus observed and celebrated the Biblical Sabbath (rather than Sunday) His entire life (Lk 4:16)! The Apostles also observed and celebrated Sabbath rather than Sunday! In fact, the entire church (Jews and Gentiles) in the Apostolic era also observed and celebrated the Sabbath as the weekly day of worship rather than Sunday. So, what happened? How did Sunday come to replace the biblical Sabbath for most Christians? Join us as we explore the main reasons why Catholic and Protestant Christians justify Sunday as the replacement for the Biblical Sabbath.

What day a person worships on often signifies which world religion they are a part of. If you worship on Friday, you are likely Muslim. If you worship on Saturday, you are likely Jewish. And, if you worship on Sunday, you are likely Christian. Since worship days are a defining marker, join as we explore the importance of worship days.

In 2019, iHeart Radio listed the top ten funeral rock songs. The number one, most popular funeral song was Led Zeppelin’s Stairway to Heaven. Why? it is probably related to the fact that deep inside every heart is the longing to connect with spiritual realm. Innately, we all know that the spiritual realm is the eternal one where everything is redeemed, reconciled, and made whole. Everyone wants to get there and many have different ideas about how to get there. Today we will look at the Stairway to Heaven as found in the Biblical text.

Jesus not only fulfills the biblical holy days but He also fulfills an important national holiday called Hanukkah. By the first century, Hanukkah became known as the Festival of Lights symbolizing illumination, and revelation. During this festival, Jesus reveals that He and the Father are one! This revelation would usher in transformational life and blessing for all who would receive it. Today we will conclude our series on Hanukkah by exploring this unity between the Father and the Son.

Illumination brings an awakening to that which is real, true, and transformative. It is like turning on a light in a dark room. Spiritual illumination is not only being awakened to the spiritual and eternal realm but also being transformed by the power of this kingdom. Hanukkah, also known as the Festival of Light, is the very season that marks the revelation of who Jesus is. Join us as we are illuminated with the revelation of Jesus in the Temple, at Jerusalem, during the Celebration of Lights.

Hanukkah has been overlooked by the traditional Gentile Church for nearly 2000 years! It has neglected its importance, failing to recognize that Hanukkah is inextricably connected with Jesus and His Mission. One cannot separate the meaning of Hanukkah from who Jesus is. He is the inaugural fulfillment of its revelation and significance. The themes and lessons of Hanukkah are universal and it inspires us to believe in Jesus staying loyal to God’s law. Join us in our dance with this ancient song and story of Hanukkah! You shall know the truth and the truth will set you free!

In our first teaching, we learned from Revelation 12 that the dragon is Satan, the woman is Israel, and the child is the promised Messiah. In our second teaching, we learned about Satan’s first defeat. After the Great Red Dragon’s defeat, he is hurled to the earth where, in rage, he pursues Israel and the followers of Jesus. However, God intervenes and gives to Israel and the Gentiles who believe in Messiah, all they need to persevere and overcome this greatest of dragons! Join us as we conclude our journey through Revelation 12.

In our first teaching, we learned from Revelation 12 that the dragon is Satan, the woman is Israel, and the child is the promised Messiah. Satan’s focus is on killing the woman (Israel) and her child (Messiah) which are depicted in prophetic, astral symbols and imagery. He does all that he can though his army of fallen angels to destroy her and her baby. Join us in this teaching as we learn about Satan's first defeat and lessons in Revelation 12 which are key to persevering and overcoming the great red dragon today.

Join us for a special teaching from Rabbi Alex Yalenga from Zambia Messianic Fellowship. You can learn more about his ministry here: https://www.zamf.org/

You have an enemy. He is the ancient serpent, the evil one, the great red dragon. He is most widely known as Satan or the Devil. He has wisdom, power, a kingdom, and an army of fallen angels and demons at his behest. From the beginning, Jesus said he is a liar and a murderer. One of his greatest lies is to get the masses to believe that he, his kingdom, and his agenda does not exist. But the Sacred Scriptures expose him for who he is. The Bible reveals his agenda, his aspirations, and his threat to everyone who believes in Jesus and commit themselves to God’s commandments. Join us in the series on the Great Red Dragon. In this sermon, we will be studying Revelation 12.
