#181 – ╫ The Character of God: How Do You View God? - Torah Portion: Say [PODCAST]

How do you view God? And do you view Him the same way the disciples did 2000 years ago?

How do you view God? And do you view Him the same way the disciples did 2000 years ago? Do you view Him the same way Moses did? And do you view Him the same way Jesus did? Either they all viewed God differently because God changed over time, or God never changed and all they all viewed Him the same. The way you perceive God will impact the way you live your life. Maybe you grew up in a church where God was proclaimed as an angry God always out to get you. Or maybe you grew in a church where God is a gracious and loving God that doesn't require holiness nor repentance; and never executes judgment. Reading the old and new testaments, it can sometimes seem like God's character has changed as we travel from the front of the book, with God's judgments, to the back, with God's grace revealed through His Son. So when Jesus came, did something change? Did God soften up to executing judgment, to rather love us and not judge? What is God's true character? Torah Portion: Emor | Say | אמור

#180 – ╫ Are They The One? | 13 Confirmations & Red Flags! [PODCAST]

So you think they are "the one", but how do you know?

So you think they are "the one", but how do you know? In the midst of the feelings, emotions, dreams and other confirmations, discerning whether someone is the one God has set-apart for you can become more difficult than it seems. A marriage is a combination of both the good and bad of two people. But at what point does the "bad" become the deal breaker? Or at what point does the "good" become the confirmation that they are the one? Manipulative spirits, secret sins, confusion, playing games, and many other red flags are important to watch out for. In this video PD & Christina discusses 13 important tests to ask yourself for determining whether someone is truly "The One" before entering marriage.

#179 – ╫ Be A Burning Living Sacrifice - Torah Portion: After The Death [PODCAST]

Just as how God meticulously instructed Israel specific procedures on how to and where to make their offerings, so God expects us to offer our living offering.

Just as how God meticulously instructed Israel specific procedures on how to and where to make their offerings, so God expects us to offer our living offering. Our reasonable worship to God is to be done how He specified. It doesn't matter how sincere we may be in doing something for God if we are not following His instructions on how to live and make our living sacrifice, whose instructions are we truly following, and what god do we serve? We can easily start serving the god of self, to lift our aspirations and desires high above, thinking that our ideas will please God without ever considering that He gave His ideas in His Word, and expects us to follow them. For any other worship unto Him will be in vain, even if our hearts are sincere. Yes, God knows our hearts, and the Bible says our hearts are "deceitfully wicked, who can understand it?" (Jer 17:9) God searches the hearts and deeds, to see whether we have a heart after following His commands and ways of worship, or the commandments of another god. Don't say one thing and do another brothers/sisters, for the whole world is watching. If you say you are a disciple of Yeshua, act like one in the ways He prescribed. For that is what is our reasonable worship unto Him. In this Torah Portion, we will talk about how to have a living offering pleasing to God, and how Yeshua was simultaneously perfect, yet while having had the sins of the world placed upon Him, fulfilling the two goats of the Day of Atonement. Torah Portion: Leviticus 16:1 - 18:30 | After The Death | ACHAREI MOT | אחרי מות

#178 – ╫ Yeshua & Jesus: Two Different People? [PODCAST]

Some have said Jesus is not the true Messiah sent by the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, but a character of Roman Catholic Church invention that teaches something different from the true Hebrew Messiah, Yeshua.

Some have said Jesus is not the true Messiah sent by the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, but a character of Roman Catholic Church invention that teaches something different from the true Hebrew Messiah, Yeshua. In this video, we will evaluate why some have come to this conclusion and whether this is a scripturally sound concept to believe and in line with the fruits of the Spirit.

#177 – ╫ Truly Unleavened: Cleansing The Sin You Don't See [PODCAST]

In this teaching, I'll show you how God is after a specific type of sin most this Passover, and it's not the one most obvious.

I don't know about you, but I'm more afraid of the sin in me I don't see, than the one I can see and face. I don't want to come to God one day and have Him point out things that I deemed innocent, yet was an offense to Him. It's easy to get so focused on cleansing our "big sins" this Passover, that we forget to ask God to show the more "innocent" looking sins. Passover is a season of repentance, but in this teaching, I'll show you how God is after a specific type of sin most this Passover, and it's not the one most obvious.

#176 – ╫ The #1 Goal of Godly Marriage [PODCAST]

What is the primary goal of marriage? And how do we accomplish the calling of marriage in our marriage?

Everything in our lives is supposed to have a primary objective of glorifying and building God’s Kingdom. Whatever it is we do or pursue, whether marriage, having children, buying a house, moving to this or that place, or whatever – God and His Kingdom must be considered in our decisions, but not only considered, given top priority. We should not enter the marriage covenant lightly, or with a primary objective of simply being happy or living the “American Dream”, while some of these things can be very good, and marriage is supposed to be encircled with happiness, God has designed marriage to be much more than that. Marriage is supposed to above all else glorify God’s Kingdom, and if it does not accomplish that then we will never be able to fulfill the callings God has given us as individuals – and therefore will have failed God’s calling to have a marriage that is not only lasting and full of joy and happiness, but one that is meaningful & fruitful for the Kingdom. What good would it be to come to His throne one day, being able to say that we have been able to stay together as long as we lived, yet we only stayed together for our aspirations, our desires, our comfortability, instead of lifting His Kingdom above ours and considering His calling - even if that calling is harder or uncomfortable, or not exactly the American Dream we had in mind.

#175 – ╫ Passover 2019 - True Examination of the Heart [PODCAST]

Have you ever heard of a strong Christian, who's fire went out? Or even worse, a once 'believer' who fell away completely. Like Judas who dwelled with Jesus: Ate with him, slept with him, arose in the morning to walk through the streets of Jerusalem with Him - yet betrayed Him.

Have you ever heard of a strong Christian, who's fire went out? Or even worse, a once 'believer' who fell away completely. Like Judas who dwelled with Jesus: Ate with him, slept with him, arose in the morning to walk through the streets of Jerusalem with Him - yet betrayed Him. The mere fact that it is possible for us to betray Messiah in the way that Judas did, calls for examination. And that examination has been given to us by Father in the form of Passover. But Judas kept the commandments and feasts, kept Passover - he managed to keep it all religiously while having an unchanged heart. The sin of Judas is still around today: Some have an outward appearance of religion, yet lack the power and love. And at the communion taken at the 'Last Supper', Judas partook unworthily and received the great judgment. Will you be different from Judas by doing this Passover differently? Not only by mere physical observations and going through motions but by examining your heart and asking Father to show the leaven hidden even in the deepest closets of your heart. God calls His people to reconsider this Passover deeper and more seriously than all before it.

#174 – ╫ The World Teaches Men To Be Cowards - Don't Be One [PODCAST]

Men, God calls you to be a man. But it looks different from what the world considers a "real man."

Men, God calls you to be a man. But it looks different from what the world considers a "real man." We live in a culture that teaches men to be cowards. A culture where men are encouraged and considered "strong" when they go to hang out at a bar with friends every night, instead of coming home to a family. Or to date the same girl for years and years and years on end without ever putting a ring on her finger. In reality, this world teaches men to be boys, and many boys never grow up to become men. Do you want to be a real man? Feed the poor, come home to care for your wife and family, be loyal and honest, love them radically in action, give your life to God so He can use your life for His Kingdom of Light. Being a man isn't about being good with boys but a stranger to your wife, it's about taking responsibility instead of avoiding it and focusing on what God has given you to steward.

#173 – ╫ WE'RE MARRIED! And our Red Sea crossing... [PODCAST]

We're married! And what a journey it was…

We're married! And what a journey it was… The past year the Father has brought us through various red sea crossings and challenges where everything was about to go completely wrong unless He came through at the last moment. And He did come through, every single time. Christina and I would like to share some of that with you, how God makes promises, builds trust, and why we rejoice in these tribulations.
