Join us as we delve into the portion of Bemidbar. (In the Wilderness) We will discuss the importance of the topic of the resurrection and how that theme can be seen throughout the Tanakh. (OT)

This portion begins by mentioning the death of Aaron's two sons. Aaron and the other priests (kohenim) are warned not to go beyond the vail into the Holy of Holies. Only on one day of the year shall the High Priest go past the vail into the the Holy of Holies. We examine several aspects of the service and customs of Yom Kippur. (Day of Atonement) In light of Yom Kippur, we discuss several passages from the Brit Chadesha (NT) such as the beginning of Y'shua's ministry, the Mount of Transfiguration and passages from Revelation. We also discuss various kinds of trumpets and aspects of the Year of Jubilee. (Yovel)

In this double portion, we briefly examine the laws of purity governing childbirth and discuss the theme of the seed that runs through all of the scripture. We also examine the laws pertaining to "tzara'at", usually translated as leprosy. In this study, we discuss the deeper implications of this affliction on human flesh, in areas of hair and beards, clothing and even in houses. We will see that there are not only important spiritual lessons to be learned from this passage, but prophetic as well.

In this second episode, we go deeper into this fascinating, yet controversial subject. Some of the topics discussed in this episode are:

• The Hebrew letters "yud" and "heh."
• Ish and Ishah (Man and Woman)
• El, Eloah and Elohim: Feminine and Masculine forums
• The Tetragrammaton- YHVH
• The Shema

• In the image of God, they were created male and female.

In Shemini (eighth), we witness the tragic death of Aaron's two sons when they offered up "strange fire." We also consider the elongated "vav" in the center of all letters in the word "belly." We also discuss some of the common passages used as proof texts within Christianity to explain why the laws of kosher are no longer applicable.

We continue in Leviticus with the portion Tzav (Command) by reviewing some about the corbanot. (offerenings) In this teaching, we discuss the tamid (continual) offering and the possible future ramifications. We also discuss the laws governing removal of ashes from the elevation altar.

Join our local congregation as we share our personal journeys and lessons old and new that we have learned from Passover and other appointed times. Usually we have a more formal teaching. Iin this audio, we take time to reflect upon how we have been spiritually changed by the lessons of Passover and Unleavened Bread. Whether you are a complete beginner on the road to truth and transformation or a seasoned veteran, you will likely hear aspects of your own personal story. Not only that, I believe that you will be edified and uplifted as you hear how many have been impacted by the truth and how they continue to be.

  This week we enjoyed a wonderful Passover service in our home with family and friends. Passover has for many years held a special place in my heart for many reasons. For one thing, Passover was in many ways the catalyst years ago that drew me into a deeper level of obedience and understanding.  I realize that we all go through certain personal seasons in a quest for truth. Many early on learn about the pagan origins and customs of holidays such as Christmas, Easter and Halloween, etc. It is an important part of the process to begin to understand what we should and should not participate in celebrating.

This transitional process can be very difficult. Some people have a very tough time in walking the truth while at the same time trying to keep peace with their family. These are experiences that can vary from person to person and can be a shorter duration or much longer in some cases. Although I remember many of my own personal struggles with these issues, at this point it is something that really has little impact and something that I rarely think about. Unfortunately, it seems that most of the Messianic Movement has remained camped out in the city of "Against." We are against Christmas, Easter, Halloween, Sunday worship, unclean foods, etc."

There is not a problem in being against things that are unclean, but I believe the movement has become very stagnant and that the focus and teachings of  many are constantly negitive. I am not content to just be "against", I want to move forward, and am determined to do so, even if many stay camped forever in the land of  "Against."

Bill Sperry from "The Living Room" radio program invited me on his program last week to discuss some of these issues. The first half hour of the show is music, but you can forward through to 31:45 minutes into the show to go right to the discussion. You can listen to the program at  http://www.blogtalkradio.com/billsperry/2013/03/23/the-living-room  or by clicking the arrow below. I hope that the discussion is of benefit to people in any phase of their walk.

In the first portion of Leviticus, it begins with Vayikra (And He Called). Leviticus is probably one of the most understudied books of the Bible. However, as we examine its pages more carefully, we actually see a blueprint on how to "draw near" unto the Creator. As we begin to look at this passage with open hearts and minds, we are forced to ask ourselves a number of questions. Do all of the korbanot (offerenings) point only to Messiah? Were the offerings to atone for sin? Did offernings only pertain to certain kinds of sins? Will the offerings be reinstituted in the future? If so, would that be a blatant denial of Messiah and be considered an abomination by The Almighty? These and other inportant questions will be brought up during the course of this study.

In Vayachel (And Assembled), we discuss the subject of the "church." What is the "church" and when did it originate? We also look at the commandment that prohibits kindling a fire on the Sabbath. What exactly does it mean to not kindle a fore on the Sabbath?
 
We also take a little time to run down a few rabbit trails and examine the question: Are we five sensory or multisensory beings?
