Passover People our Narrative of Hope Over the centuries the scourge of anti-semitism has done an effective job of robbing Christians of their heritage as Passover People. How many Christians today understand what Paul wrote? That whether Jew or Gentile, if you belong to Christ you are Abraham’s children? How many understand their role in the biblical narrative, their common scriptural roots and shared biblical standards? But most importantly, how many grasp their new covenant relationship with the Father as Passover People with a glorious destiny? https://youtu.be/vPviRTgAUNs

The New Covenant Passover in 2024 will be observed on Sunday April 21, 2024 after sunset On the Road to Passover - important instructions from the scriptures to take to heart at this time of year. Taking the Christian Passover Worthily The Passover is a yearly time to appreciate God’s gift of forgiveness and to set our hearts to do his will. God has had compassion on us and has called us into his family. But now there is work to be done. Having been cleansed by God’s word we are to become holy as God is holy. No longer slaves to sin, we are now slaves to right living, so we can accomplish God’s purpose. This is an important time of year to consider what that purpose is and how God is working in our lives. In 2024 according to the Hebrew calculated calendar the Christian Passover will be observed on Sunday evening April 24 after sunset. Join us as we walk with Christ following in his footsteps. https://youtu.be/mkont3JcBbQ

When faced with bad news, disastrous events or conditions, our fear of the uncertainties of our situation whether personal or societal, can create in us a stress response of anxiety, frustration, anger, or despair. We may not be able to escape these situations that cause us 'distress.' But we have the free will to help us reframe how we view these stressors and focus on godly priorities. Of course even medical science knows that unmitigated stress can produce hormonal changes that cause mental conditions like depression or physical conditions like high blood pressure. So to live the abundant life God intends for us, we must deal effectively with the stress in our life. God did not promise a stress-free existence, rather he assured those who followed him that they would face all of life's challenges. But there would be a difference between those who face stresses without God's vision and those who understand God's purpose in their lives. Many of the biblical writers encourage us to know that God knows and appreciates our situation whatever the circumstances might be that are stressing us. His love for his children is unwavering and his commitment to our ultimate good is steadfast. He is able to free us from our fears and provide our every need. So then the question becomes one of, 'What must we do and what is God's counsel to those who are in the midst of suffering and stressful situations?' The scriptures offer sound advice. http://www.cogwebcast.com https://rumble.com/c/c-1238254 https://www.minds.com/JudeoChristian/ https://odysee.com/@JudeoChristian:59dafee676c47dae75ce1f9db7bc0c7bc10e5883 https://www.youtube.com/user/cogwebcast https://www.facebook.com/pg/cogwebcast/posts

Our world likes to label people in ways that cause division. Society would define you and assign you your identity according to its values. But this is not the way God defines us! If we have come into a relationship with God we are no longer viewed according to our gender, our status in society, or our ethnic heritage. Rather we have been given a new identity as children of God. In God's family we are all 'one' and not divided by our physical heritage or characteristics. For God places no value on our wealth, prowess, worldly wisdom or noble status. In fact, God makes it plain that he has chosen those the world rejects and despises. God has called into his family those the world considers to be foolish and weak and yet they are the ones who will achieve God's great purpose. So God identifies his children as those who listen to him and follow Jesus Christ their Messiah. It is they who will make a suitable dwelling place for God in their lives by their willingness to grow in spiritual maturity and serve God's purpose. So what is that purpose? How is that purpose tied to the new way and new identity that God gives to his people? The apostle Paul wrote extensively about God's perspectives on these matters so we all could be encouraged and have the patience and confidence we need to face life's challenges. Let's examine Paul's life so we might consider how it is that when we are weak God can make us strong to do his will. http://www.cogwebcast.com https://rumble.com/c/c-1238254 https://www.minds.com/JudeoChristian/ https://odysee.com/@JudeoChristian:59dafee676c47dae75ce1f9db7bc0c7bc10e5883 https://www.youtube.com/user/cogwebcast https://www.facebook.com/pg/cogwebcast/posts

Our age is not unlike that of Jesus' time and he warned us to avoid the traps of the self-righteous. The 'Wokies' of today, like the Pharisees of Jesus' day, reject God's standards in favour of their own redefining of what is right or wrong. They have taken a 'holier-than-thou' self-righteous approach that has abandoned the faith and morality of scripture and is intolerant of anyone who does not accept their new orthodoxy. And yet, the scripture provides examples of Pharisees who took a stand rejecting the majority view and embracing the truth that Jesus' taught. How would Jesus react to the Woke leaders of western society? Would he point out their hypocrisy and deceitfulness? Would he criticize them for their self-seeking, self-serving lust for power and status? And what advice would Jesus give to his followers today so as to avoid stumbling into the traps of the proud and self-righteous? Consider what the scriptures reveal so we can embrace what God says is good. http://www.cogwebcast.com https://rumble.com/c/c-1238254 https://www.minds.com/JudeoChristian/ https://odysee.com/@JudeoChristian:59dafee676c47dae75ce1f9db7bc0c7bc10e5883 https://www.youtube.com/user/cogwebcast https://www.facebook.com/pg/cogwebcast/posts

The bible teaches an amazing truth that the Creator, The Word, became a man and in so doing has made it possible for his followers to have a hope of eternal life with him. Yet there are many in the world of religion that deny this basic teaching of scripture and instead , like the Pharisees of Jesus day, they have set up their own religious standards. God on the other had has told us that he is looking for justice, loving kindness, and humility in walking with him. So what does it mean to"'walk with God?" How do we walk with anyone? The basics should be obvious. We must agree to walk to together, we must have the same destination in mind, and we must walk at the same pace being considerate of each other. But beyond these rudimentary principles God gives us what he expects of those who walk with him. Consider John's message about Jesus walking on the road to Emmaus, or Paul's admonitions to walk worthy of our calling, or Jude's warning to avoid walking like Cain, Balaam or Korah. Remember Jesus' admonition to Peter and examine ourselves to determine whether we are truly walking with God as we ought. Join our live stream for those who love and live the biblical scriptures.

Are you awake to what God will be doing in the coming year? There are those who espouse 'Christianity' who do not believe that God will keep his promises. Or perhaps they think that the prophecies were already completed in some historical past. Do you know what God says and do you trust him to be the same yesterday, today and forever? In a time of asymmetrical warfare our Western Democracies are under great strain. We need to ask ourselves whether our current dilemmas are the result of having forgotten God's ways so that instead of walking fearlessly on his straight path we are stumbling in the darkness. Jesus warned about the false prophets caught up in their faulty predictions of the future, while also reminding us of the need to be prepared for his return - a return that will surely come. So do we believe that God will yet fulfill the prophecies that he delivered to his people over the centuries - prophecies of a righteous remnant who would be delivered and return to restore and rebuild Zion? Were the prophets mistaken? Did God change his mind and his promises are no longer valid? Or, will the Lord God return to save his people, those who trust in him? Will he forgive and redeem those who repent so they will be awake to God's purpose? In the coming year let us be among those who are aware of God's plans and awake to righteousness.

In our lifetime we have experienced conditions that were prophesied by Paul, Jude and Peter. We have lived through the rise and collapse of church organizations often the result of infighting, divisions and discontent among elders and brethren. It is at such times, when the church institutions and the world around us is crumbling into chaos, that we need to reflect on those foundational concepts that help us to continue to walk in faith with God. Here are some questions to ponder: Are we thoroughly grounded in the scripture with a sure knowledge of the conditions in the 'latter days' so we will not be overthrown in times of apostasy? Are we standing firm in the truth so we will not be deceived by the ungodly, no matter what 'miracles' they claim to perform? Are we committed to God and acting sincerely and without hypocrisy so that we are living our faith and patiently growing in love? Are we convicted of the assurances that God gives us that blessings will come if we are walking with our Shepherd as he leads us in the good way? Is our hope in God's promised gift of eternal life unshakeable, and does it motivate us to do the good works that the Father has called us to perform? Take a few minutes to join us and consider the words of exhortation from the scriptures that will help us in our walk of faith. http://www.cogwebcast.com https://rumble.com/c/c-1238254 https://www.minds.com/JudeoChristian/ https://odysee.com/@JudeoChristian:59dafee676c47dae75ce1f9db7bc0c7bc10e5883 https://www.youtube.com/user/cogwebcast https://www.facebook.com/pg/cogwebcast/posts/

Paul in writing to Timothy warned against becoming one of those people who had once believed but had turned away from the faith because they had been misled by hypocritical religious leaders. Recently, a major 'Christian' denomination has moved from the doctrinal position of 'God does not bless sin' to a more politically acceptable stance of 'God does not turn away anyone." These are irreconcilable concepts. In fact, this antinomian reasoning seems to fall into the category of the 'way of Balaam' that Peter and John told believers to avoid. So what was Balaam's way and why is it still so destructive? What did that ancient soothsayer do and how is his example instructive to Christians who desire to walk with God? This story has a lot to say about understanding God's will, who is able to have a relationship with him and what must motivate our thought and action. Many Christians do not know what the scriptures say about what it means to love God or accomplish his will? They want to come to God, but they do not acknowledge the scriptures that reveal how we must love God, what it means to obey him, and under what conditions we are given the Holy Spirit that we might know God? Consider the witness of the apostles Matthew, John. Paul and Peter in these matters and the implications for your personal walk with God. http://www.cogwebcast.com https://rumble.com/c/c-1238254 https://www.minds.com/JudeoChristian/ https://odysee.com/@JudeoChristian:59dafee676c47dae75ce1f9db7bc0c7bc10e5883 https://www.youtube.com/user/cogwebcast https://www.facebook.com/pg/cogwebcast/posts/

It is challenging to navigate in our present world of extremes. But scriptures tell us there is a time and place for all things. Consider the lessons that we can derive from God's perspectives on the lives of Naboth and Ahab, or Gedaliah and Johanan. God counsels us to achieve an artful balance in all we do so we can have emotional and spiritual stability. Paul gives us godly advice about how to set our priorities so that we might live a temperate life that honours God and encourages others. Listen to his words of wisdom about self-mastery and moderation and be inspired in your walk with God.

Why does God care about humanity? The answer to this question is found in part in the book of Genesis. But this is only the beginning of the story. Here God declared, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness and let him have dominion over the earth." The Psalmist adds to our understanding of God's purpose in that he created human beings with a glory that was a little lower than 'elohim' (God). Jesus in answering the religious leaders of his day, proclaimed that he was a son of God, and yet this should not have astounded them as it did. For Jesus made the same kind of bold declaration as the Psalmist in calling men 'elohim' or sons of God. John, James and Paul all added insights regarding Christ's being the image of the Father and the firstborn son of God. But the Father has a plan to bring many more sons and daughters - made in his image - into his family. Knowing this basic truth these biblical writers offer us wisdom as to how we should live our lives now in preparation for this glorious future.

The world is trying to grapple with the events of the past few months in the Middle East, but this is nothing new. Our present situation has a powerful connection to events of the past and the prophecy of Daniel about the Seleucid Empire's attempts to dominate Judea. And the question of good and evil is still the one that should be foremost in our minds. God warns us of the consequences of falling prey to the idea that good and evil are relative, or that good is evil and evil is good. Scripture also warns us that there is a price to pay if we do not resist the evil or if we fail to give aid to those who would otherwise be destroyed by evil. The prophetic message of Chanukah from Christ's perspective is both a warning to not be deceived by the evil and an encouragement to rededicate ourselves to God and the way of truth during this winter time of Dedication. http://www.cogwebcast.com https://rumble.com/c/c-1238254 https://www.minds.com/JudeoChristian/ https://odysee.com/@JudeoChristian:59dafee676c47dae75ce1f9db7bc0c7bc10e5883 https://www.youtube.com/user/cogwebcast https://www.facebook.com/pg/cogwebcast/posts/
