Korach provides us with a perfect example of what NOT to do if we expect to be content in this life. Entitlement, lack of humility, and comparison are all fatal flaws in his attitude. It’s what he’s missing that makes the biggest difference. We’ll explore some connections and make life-changing applications in this message.

In Part 1, we learned about not letting the grumblers and complainers get us down. But there’s a more important part of this battle that needs to be explored. You must become the master of your own thinking. Here’s how to do it.

The children of Israel were headed for the Land. The goal was about to be realized. All was going well and then… the complaining. In hindsight, we know the outcome. The negative chatter derailed the mission and the hope. Poor Israel, right? Well, we’re just as vulnerable. Who are you listening to?

Judaism asks questions. Even in things that are presumed to be good and holy. We ask questions to understand and apply. The Nazirite vow is no exception. It’s described as a good thing in Torah, how could there be any other way to view it?! We’ll investigate the discussion that has occurred through the ages and find a modern application along the way.

Is Shavuot really the time of the giving of the Torah? We examine the Torah to see what it say explicitly about the holiday, what the rabbis have created, and where to find the most significant evidence behind the connection of Torah and the Festival of Shavuot.

Part 4 of "He Died That I Might Live…" concludes the series by putting practical application to what we have learned in the last three sessions: How now shall we live?

The Omer controversy seems completely irrelevant to our lives in 2023. But digging beneath the argument itself, we discover something amazing about freedom. This Shavuot message takes a concluding look at the omer, the manna, and the loaves of Shavuot to point us to happiness in our lives.

Counting the Omer is controversial. This argument goes way back, too. Sadducees (along with others like them) were fighting this out with the Pharisees in Yeshua’s time. Amazingly, it still goes on. We’ll learn here about the argument, some evidence for a position, and lay the groundwork for an upcoming Shavuot message that will hit home for us all.

You shall count. 49 days of counting. Sickle to grain. Waving an offering. It’s omer time again. But why? What does this mean for me? This message brings some revelation and perspective that should help.

The biblical festivals in Leviticus 23 are often called the Jewish holidays, but the text clearly identifies them as God’s appointed times. So whose are they? The Lord’s or the Jewish people’s? Of course, the Jewish answer is “Yes”. This teaching explores the implication for what this means.
