God is always one step ahead of the enemy's plans, He is never caught off guard nor surprised. In the direst situations we can face, where it seems like there is no way out, that God’s promises are about to fail, and that He has forsaken us, God splits the sea and comes through at the very last moment. For at that moment, we realise that it could be nothing but God. He gets the glory and fame, and we are built in faith and character. When you face trials, rejoice! For without them, no man will see God. Torah Portion: Beshalach | When he sent | בשלח

Tattoos are controversial. In the past, tattoos were always associated with crime, pagans, and evil. But today tattoos have become more acceptable in our culture, and have often even been encouraged by certain church cultures. But what does the Bible really teach about tattoos and what does God think about it?

Often in our journeys with God, we can fall into shame, guilt and condemnation when we don't feel like we are "good enough" or "doing enough" for God. Satan takes the opportunity to lie to us, and we listen to the wrong voice. This can be dire, for this shame actually makes us more passive for His Kingdom than anything else. But if you better understand God's character, you'll better understand what He thinks of you. The God who knows every hair on your head is on your side! For you, it all begins with a sacrificial heart unto God and then letting Him work in you. But He can't change your heart if you don't give it to Him - fully this time.

The first thing God commanded Israel to ever do is to celebrate a festival as their first point of departure and set-apartness from Egypt. To eat a perfect lamb, and to share that lamb with their neighbour. Today God is presenting an end days repeat of Passover, where we are to partake in the perfect Lamb of God and to share that lamb with our neighbour. It has always been about ensuring that all with a clean heart has the knowledge to paint their doorposts with His blood. Are you prepared for the end times Passover exile everything points to? It wasn't enough to take Israel out of Egypt, God needed to take Egypt out of Israel. It is not enough to remove ourselves from the world, we need to let God remove the world from our hearts too. Torah Portion: Bo | Come | בוא

The common process today for getting baptized is asking a pastor, joining a class, having your name put on a list, and then waiting for the next "baptism church service". But is this biblical? What does the scripture say regarding the process of baptism? You may be surprised to see it addresses this very issue of delaying baptism and takes it very seriously. Why do you wait? Rise on be baptized, today.

Baptizing someone can be an intimidating part of the gospel to do when doing it for the first time, but it is simple - and the Holy Spirit is your teacher! Here are 6 steps on how to baptize someone.

One of the most hotly debated topics around baptism is which name or names to use when conducting it. Many have even gone back to get rebaptized in a different name from before because they believe their baptism wasn't authentic when doing it the first time under a certain name. Most of this confusion stems from the scriptures being inconsistent in how baptisms were done. Jesus told us to baptize in the "Father, Son and Holy Spirit", while the disciples simply baptized others into the "Name of Jesus/Yeshua" So what is the truth? What name should we use when baptising others, or getting baptized?

What is it that causes God to pour out the firstborn blessing on a secondborn child? What moves God to elect someone for His glory? Many believe it's up to random chance, but Jesus told us what causes God to bless. It's not how well you speak, who your father is, how rich or poor you are, or where you grew up. It's something much more significant. God prefers to use those of a certain character, even sometimes those who are lost and weak. So we need to ask ourselves what is the character God delights in? And "is my character one that God delights in?" Torah Portion: Vayechi | He lived | ויחי
