Traditional Christian interpretations of Jacob are wrong and actually contribute to the growing hostility towards the Jewish people today. If one of their most important ancestors is a deceitful trickster, can't that idea be used to justify all the antisemitic tropes out there? To justify their mistreatment? The more who believe the lies about Jacob the more they'll be willing to believe the lies said about the Jewish people. https://www.restorationmessiah.com/single-post/11-26-22-torah-6-an-example-of-lashon-hara-genesis-25-19-28-9

God made some amazing promises to Abraham--about the land and descendants. A child through Sarah seemed Impossible. Many things threatened that coming to pass, especially Abraham himself. God had to protect His promises. And when that promise was provided, as always, we are pointed to Yeshua because all of God's covenants tell the Good News of our Redemption & Restoration. https://www.restorationmessiah.com/single-post/11-12-22-torah-4-promise-provided-genesis-18-22

When a culture rejects the early chapters of Genesis, there are consequences. Ideas and philosophies that devalue human beings and make them subservient to nature, and other agendas grow and fester when things like the Imago Dei, the Image of God are dismissed. Civilizations fall for such times as these. https://www.restorationmessiah.com/single-post/10-22-22-consequences-for-rejecting-genesis-torah-1

After so many questions, there may come one we're not as prepared for--wanting to hear more. This message is built upon 10 Commandments for the Messianic Journey. https://www.restorationmessiah.com/single-post/10-8-22-common-questions-i-m-starting-to-agree-now-what

Worship has divided more congregations than almost any other issue in the last 20 years. The reason? Preferences drive our worship more than the Word of God. Does God have an opinion on what is acceptable worship or are we now free to worship however we want? What does it mean to worship in Spirit & Truth? What is the easiest change to make to our worship to get back on track? https://www.restorationmessiah.com/single-post/9-24-22-common-questions-why-can-t-i-worship-how-i-want

Our country is divided over issues of justice and injustice. But do either of the political sides really know what justice is or what fast tracks our culture towards injustice? The Scriptures reveal a significant pattern in the appointment of judges. It also reveals corruption to watch for in politicians. https://www.restorationmessiah.com/single-post/9-3-22-fastest-way-to-injustice-deuteronomy-16-21

What kind of statement are those who have moved in a Messianic statement making about previous generations and the last 2000 years of church history? Are we saying they aren't saved? What difference does it make now? Does God really care how His people worship Him or what path we are on? Is it possible to be in error, to be wrong and not be at fault? https://www.restorationmessiah.com/single-post/8-27-22-are-you-saying-all-previous-generations-were-wrong

Most people think fulfilling the Gospel is about street preaching, door knocking or becoming a missionary. But is this the extent of what it means to fulfill the Great Commission? Do we really understand the Gospel? Is it really just about our salvation? https://www.restorationmessiah.com/single-post/8-20-22-common-questions-do-you-still-love-teach-the-gospel

For those who have moved in a Messianic direction, many times our family and friends don't understand. They may ask a lot of questions, none more basic than, Do you still love Jesus or are you leaving Him too? They don't typically ask out of malice but from love and concern. Because there have been those who have abandoned Yeshua in asking these kinds of questions. So we have to answer, should our faith, trust and love in Yeshua increase or decrease as we pursue Torah? Do we still love Him? https://www.restorationmessiah.com/single-post/8-13-22-common-questions-do-you-still-love-jesus

some audio/video issues but they will resolve quickly Moses is about to die and he has some last things to say. He started by explaining the Torah to a new generation. Every generation needs the Torah explained to them. Without it, that generation won't as ready as they could or should be to enter into the Promise. They also might miss their opportunity to serve and glorify God. For too long, generations of those who claim the name of Christ, the name of Yeshua have been wandering in the wilderness apart from the Torah of God. If we are approaching the last days before the coming of the LORD, we too need to have the Torah explained to us. We need to be relocated from the wilderness to the river. https://www.restorationmessiah.com/single-post/8-6-22-torah-study-deut-1-3-22-define-the-relationship

Ty Konkle teaches on the importance of being planted by the waters being nourished by the Torah of God. Psalm 1:1-3

Finishing our study on 2 Corinthians.

The charge often comes about being legalistic when a messianic believer starts moving toward keeping the Torah. But when they mention it--what comes to mind is Indigo Montoya--"I don't think it means what you think it means." As I've stated in other messages--the Torah is not to be kept to be saved, but because we are saved. It is God's discipleship program and it reveals what pleases Him. It is the Law, the Instruction, the Torah of the King--that will one day govern and rule all of God's people under the Messiah. But why wait? Is legalism a real thing? Absolutely--in our personal lives--it is driven by fear. In a congregation it is the tactic of power and control. But that's not what legalism is according to Scripture--watch to find out the 2 points for how Scripture defines legalism. https://www.restorationmessiah.com/single-post/7-23-22-common-questions-aren-t-you-being-a-legalist

Judaizing is not about salvation anymore as Paul argued. It has been redefined to mean an association with anything or anyone Jewish. Moving towards the things of God: the Sabbath, the Feasts, descriptions of holy living, etc. are seen as bad. This message looks at the Quartodeciman Controversy, quotes by Chrysostom & Tertullian--many of their arguments are still used today. But if a pagan, gentile believer is not moving towards the things of God found in Scripture, which direction are they moving in? If not Judaizing the faith, are they not Gentilizing the faith? https://www.restorationmessiah.com/single-post/7-16-22-common-questions-aren-t-you-judaizing-part-2

The definition of Judaizing changed from what Paul meant to how the early church fathers and councils used the term. For Paul it was an issue about requirements for Salvation. For the ECF and Councils it meant anything connected to the Jews or fellowship with them at all. People who use the term today typically and sadly use it more like the latter when asking questions to Messianics and the return to the Feasts of the LORD and the Sabbath

Korah's Rebellion was all about rejecting authority that God has placed over you--to lead and guide you. In rejecting that authority and his own calling and service, Korah led others to get in Moses' face. That turned out to not be a good choice and not a good example of how believers should approach the Father. Psalm 27:7-8--"Hear, Adonai, when I call with my voice, be gracious to me and answer me. 8 To You my heart says: “Seek My face.” Your face, Adonai, I seek." https://www.restorationmessiah.com/single-post/7-2-22-danger-of-getting-in-moses-face

Review and continuation of the discussion about what it means to be under the law. There is the law of sin and death--which we don't want to be under, but there is also the law of blessing and life--made possible by Messiah Yeshua. He didn't do away with the importance of the Torah in the life of the believer. He didn't abolish it or nullify it as some interpret Matthew 5:17-18. The Sermon on the Mount is mostly commentary on the Torah. If you believe the Sermon on the Mount is for the believer, then the Torah must be for you as well. https://www.restorationmessiah.com/single-post/6-25-22-common-questions-under-the-law-pt-2

A look at 2 Corinthians 5

So many people think being Under the Law refers to one of 2 things regarding the Torah: 1) Trying to earn your salvation 2) To the curse of the law Is that True? Are these the only 2 options when understanding being Under the Law?
