The Jewish leaders make some accusations against Stephen at the end of Acts 6. Oftentimes, Stephen’s words in Acts 7 are seen as simply a historical recounting of the nation of Israel, but what if his words are designed to respond directly to the accusations?

A refresher sermon on the importance of Holy Scripture. This is a forward to my soon series through Paul’s first epistle to young Timothy.

The closing sermon for our Sukkot gathering (2025). I talk some about prophecy and eschatology, and then I briefly do some exegesis in Colossians 2. I end with talking about where I’m at on understanding what the Feast of Booths foreshadows.

I cover: Scriptural months are lunar based, why both seven days and the eighth day are mentioned in the instructions for the Feast of Booths, the various fire offerings related to this Feast, and the importance of the Miqra Kodesh (Sacred Assembly).

I look at who exactly (what people groups) were delivered out of the land of Egypt, as well as the Hebrew word for “booths.” Some time is then taken to trek through Nehemiah’s account of Ezra and company finding this Feast in the Book of the Law.

We begin to study into the last of the major, annual Festivals to Yahweh by looking at the two names it is given as well as how it relates to the heavenly light calendar in Genesis 1:14-19.

I begin to delve into the last major, annual Festival to Yahweh, but take the time to consider why only the males are commanded to appear before Yahweh in both Exodus and Deuteronomy. This sermon takes a few minutes to look at the recent tragedy, the assassination of a good, Christian brother - Charlie Kirk.

Some in the Sacred Name Community use Exodus 23:13 as a launching pad for claiming the name Jesus has pagan origins. This lesson seeks to simplify the matter by looking at from where the name Jesus stems with the process of transliteration.

I delve into a topic here that many never think about, and some poke fun of those who even bring it up. What is the best way to translate the Hebrew words el and elohim into the English language? What is the origin of the English word god? These questions and more are covered. 

I go over some specifics in regards to the actual, literal speaking of common words that may stem from pagan origin, and then move into tracking the various Hebrew words behind the word lord in the English Bible. Some points about the name YHWH are covered as well.
