Many of us came to Christ with the promise of "getting into Heaven." But what if following Christ is actually about becoming a tabernacle, spreading His Kingdom on Earth, as it is in heaven?
Do you want to walk more like Yeshua walked, in the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit, but are not sure where to begin? Do you feel like there are barriers in your life keeping you back?
Join PD in this short video as he shares an important practice that Yeshua taught His disciples, and practiced Himself, that allowed them to step out of the boat onto the crashing waves, and walk in the love, power, and authority of the Holy Spirit!
One of the most painful moments in many of our lives is when we discover someone we thought we could trust has spoken about us behind our back, gossiping about us to others. Perhaps this person is a stranger, or perhaps they’re someone we knew well. When people say horrible things about us, how can we respond? How can we become undefendable?
The Day of Atonement is considered by many as the holiest day of the year. The one day the high priest would enter the Holy of Holies within the Temple. But on this day, procedures are peculiar. It includes the sending of a goat "to Azazel." For centuries, scholars have debated the meaning of this Azazel goat. Who does it represent? Some have said Jesus, some have even said Satan. But the answer is, neither are absolutely right. It's just not that simple.
But the answer is way more profound and way more interesting. The answer lies in the Gospel itself! Join me this Day of Atonement as we discuss the relevance of this beautiful feast to our lives today as believers.

"I can't wait for Jesus to come back and get me." One thing is guaranteed in life: You will hear The Trumpets. "I'm ready!", you say. At the base of Mt. Sinai, Israel stood when the air was pierced with the trumpet blast of God! As they witnessed just how awesome He is, their lives ran through their minds in slow motion. They realized they were all but ready to encounter the King. They called on Moses to go up on their behalf.
But a day is coming, says the Lord, where He will meet YOU personally. No Moses, no pastor, no parent, husband or wife in between. Will you be ready? The Feast of Trumpets is all about this moment. This is your rehearsal, don't miss it!
Many of us have read the verse in Matthew 7:23, "And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness." But what does this mean? For some, this has been taken to mean that those who don't yet keep the 7th day Sabbath or eat clean as they do, aren't saved.
However, is this really what this verse is saying?
We know we're not saved by keeping certain commandments in Torah (as beautiful as they are!), we are saved by grace through faith in Yeshua. What does Yeshua mean by "worker of lawlessness" and what does this mean for believers?

The terrible current events in Afghanistan have shocked the world. But the fall of the country is another witness for a fundamental problem in the world that the Bible describes. A problem so great and deep in the hearts of men that no war, cultural movement, education, nor any amount of charity in of itself can solve. There are many good things we can do, but only one can solve the condition of the human heart: The Gospel of Christ.
The Baptism of the Holy Spirit: For some of us, mysterious, confusing and even allusive. But what is it about this baptism that is so important? There are many of us kept from everything our Father has for us because we lack understanding regarding the Holy Spirit.
Many of us have been taught we are guaranteed the baptism of the Holy Spirit the moment of salvation, or moment of water baptism. But is that what the Bible teaches? Is there something MORE in the life of Messiah you've been missing in yours?
There are so many misconceptions about the Holy Spirit, and I hope this is the beginning of answers for you.
Have you ever found yourself measuring yourself - your abilities, achievements, or worth - against someone else? We're all guilty of this. Yet, this subtle trap of comparison can slowly and destructively eat away at us, as we begin to view our worth through the eyes of others instead of the eyes of God.
When we become so busy looking at those around us, we inevitably stop looking up. It's time to stop believing Satan's lies and choose God's truth. You were created unique with a powerful purpose for God's Kingdom. As Yeshua said to Peter in the last chapter of John, "YOU follow me!"
