We know Abba, our heavenly Father, is love personified. This sermon continues that theme (hear the previous sermon first) but now we focus on the question: when we sin, does God still love us? Or do we fall out of His love when we sin? Does God really not hear sinners? If not, how would they ever repent? Did Yeshua heal sinners? Can we come to God when we’ve failed to “measure up”? We hope this message gives you a lot to think about as we grow in our relationship with our Father and Savior.

On the Day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit was given. What do you think of when someone says “Holy Spirit”? How do we receive it? What does the Spirit do? I’ve prepared a list of 22 things the Spirit is doing to help us appreciate our great God’s gift even more. There are 3x that many more points about the Spirit so use this as a launching pad for more study on your own.

In the time between the first Passover and Pentecost, YHVH gushed water from the Rock after it was smitten. Forty years later, He does it again but this time Moses is told to SPEAK to the Rock. Why the difference? Why were Israel’s elders on the rock with Moses the first time, and not the second time? Why did Moses’ disbelief in this instance keep him from entering the Promised Land? And what does all this have to do with us today?

This is the Passover service for those of you wishing to have one conducted for you, or if you need some notes to guide you. You will find the transcript and summary here. The first 2 pages are the instructions of how to set up a local Passover service. Then pages 3-12 are the actual transcript of the service in case the local host would like to read and conduct the service himself. Have a solemnly joyful and meaningful Passover and may our Father's Spirit be with you. And praise the love of our father and of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (or Yeshua, his Hebrew name). This is not a traditional Jewish Seder service, but a Christian Passover using footwashing and the emblems of the matzah and wine, and Yeshua's last words.

This 2-part sermon is to help us be mentally and spiritually ready to take the Passover service. We discuss the 2 sides of Passover: the incredible love of God as well as the incredible severity of God (Romans 11:22). Why does it take so much innocent blood to be shed in order to forgive sin? We explain. In Part 1 - we also introduce the beginning of "the crimson thread" throughout scripture pointing to the coming Messiah. For example, why did Isaac carry the wood to his own sacrifice? When was our Savior sacrificed - at least in God's mind? Also we go in depth into the many things our dear Father provides for us through the blood of His Son, the Christ (it's much, much more than just being forgiven of our sins). This sermon ends with us beginning to explore the nuances of Exodus 12. (To be continued in part 2).

Yeshua is coming as "King of kings" but it's going to be a new order of governance. Only with this vital quality will we be chosen as leaders in the world to come. Learn how Yeshua serves and how He wants to continue serving through you. Learn why there are 4 gospels. What are the hallmarks of balanced service? Are YOU building the track record of a servant? Who's the greatest servant in your household?

This brand new message is one of my most important ones I've ever done. After hearing it, you will feel profound joy and want to shout out praises to our High Priest and King for what He is doing. We go through key understandings from Hebrews and Exodus 28, the Priest chapter - but combine it with New Covenant understanding to bring glory to Yeshua, our High Priest. We also delve deeply into the profound concepts of being "in Him", which make the New Covenant possible. I highly recommend this study.

It's Christmas season again. Most of you who come to this site realize Christmas has very pagan roots, long before Christ was born. But is it OK with God for us to observe Christmas with its pagan roots, as long as we do it unto Christ, and in our hearts know we're worshiping HIM, and not the pagan gods? Does it matter, in that case? What does YHVH say about that? What did Paul and Yeshua teach about that? And how should we deal with all the issues that come up in this season - the issue of gift giving, Christmas parties and so on.

Are you really a true disciple of Christ? How would you find others? The Bible gives at least 7 identifying signs. Yeshua came to live and die for all mankind, of course - but he also came to prepare disciples. Disciples who would be just like Him and change the world. Learn how Christ continues calling and grooming disciples - and how to identify who they are - in this 21st century. (This is a completely new sermon, though I gave one with a similar title in June 2004.)

We're re-running this 2012 sermon as the information is timeless, just the dates have changed. The 7th day of the Feast of Tabernacles, the last day of the feast, is a very meaningful day. There's more information than I've shared before about this day. Jews have called this day, "Hoshana Rabbah" for millennia - meaning the "Great Salvation" or "Save us, O Great One". Even in the days of Yeshua (Jesus) it was the Great Day of the Feast. Find out why. Find out why water was poured out and why "the Pierced One" led priests around the altar 7 times on this day. Discover the correction for God's people from the prophet Haggai on this very day. Why were there 7 final bulls sacrificed? Read John 7:37-39 and why Yeshua said what He said on this day at the precise moment He did. Find out why humanity will be crying out for King Yeshua (Jesus) to save them this late in the Millennium...and much more.

Hear this message to learn the next steps in the coming of Yeshua. When was the new moon this year? Does the 7th trumpet sound on the Feast of Trumpets? You might be surprised. Do the saints hover over Jerusalem for a day or two and then land on the Mount of Olives? Learn all about the ram's horn shofar. What does it mean? What is it's spiritual meaning for us today? Why is it called a Memorial day? Why is it called Yom Teruah in scripture but Jews call it Rosh Hashanah? What does Yom Teruah mean? Does it matter? This and more... be sure to hear this sermon.

Why does Yehoweh allow even His own called-out children to go through so much pain and suffering? We are referring to mental anguish and suffering and not just physical pain. Why do so many suffer unhealed illness, or prolonged unemployment or year after year of unending physical pain? Why do so many innocent children also suffer, especially among the family of God? Abba is able to remove suffering - so why doesn't He do so, more often than He does? What's the final purpose, the point of prolonged pain and suffering? We hope this will be a life-changing message for you to bring you peace and joy even in your pain.

The Messiah changed the world. Only five women, (5 the number of grace) are listed by name or referred to, in Matthew’s lineage of Yeshua, our Savior. Why were these five chosen? And why were most of them Gentile? Why couldn’t five “pristine” women who were more ‘righteous’ be chosen? What role did each of these women play in the Royal family tree? Caution: this and the next sermon are fairly graphic, but nothing is said that the Bible doesn’t say. Hear/read about these women who changed the world and the lessons they bring to all of us.

Hear your Love Story, your "goel" Redeemer, Gleanings and threshing floor times...it's all here. On Pentecost (Shavuot in Hebrew), the book of Ruth is often read and discussed. Why? Find out in this teaching. Learn about YOUR kinsman redeemer, your "goel" - your eternity depends on it. Are you in a "threshing floor" time of your life? Learn what that means. Learn the lessons of courage and faith that remarkable Ruth will teach us all. We'll read this book with a spiritual outlook as we apply famines of the word of Yehowah, and marriage of set-apart believers to their King. This short book is really not just about Ruth and Boaz - but about you and your marriage to your King, your divine Redeemer.

I consider this to be one of the most important topics to understand in our lives as chosen children of YHVH. After we repent, accept Yeshua's sacrifice and have our sins forgiven, then what? How do we ever become righteous enough to be worthy of the Kingdom of God? Hear about the seldom discussed gift our Father offers us by faith that will see us to perfection at the resurrection. That and so much more are discussed.

Though Philip originally preached this in 2009, it never got posted on the website though the material is timeless. Is YHVH's kingdom - our kingdom - real to you? Is it truly the center of your hopes and dreams? Can you "see" it, can you feel it? Are you practically there, in it, because the Kingdom is so real to you? As we end the Feast of Tabernacles picturing the Millennial rule of our King, let this message inspire you for another year. There will not be a transcript for this message so you'll have to hear the audio.

Usually called "Feast of Trumpets", or "Yom Teruah" in the original Hebrew which means "day of blasts, joyful shouts and acclamation". It is the first of the last four appointed times to meet with Yahweh in the Fall. It is called the Day of Remembrance and a memorial of "teruah". Find out what else happened on this day and what this holyday could be picturing ahead of us. Why we don't call it "Rosh Hashanah". When is the right day for this holyday? All this and more.

WHO are the "children of God" and the real "children of Abraham"? Are Gentiles "2nd class citizens" of the Kingdom? How do Gentiles fit into all the promises made to Abraham and to Israel? Is YHVH the God of the Gentiles too, or just Israel? Are all Jews automatically part of the new covenant people of God? When, according to scripture, can a natural-born Jew not be a Jew? How does one become known as a "child of God" or a "son of Abraham"? You'll hear all this and more in this first of 2-part teaching.

The Battle of the sexes has gone on since the Garden of Eden. This 2 - part message is not just the traditional same approach. You'll find new insights as we explore the high destiny of man and woman and what Yah's ideal in the Garden was. We review women in the Bible. It was originally man who was told to "keep" their garden home. Find out what that means and how that applies today. Eve -- the "help-meet" for Adam: was she really to be the main "helper" in a home and marriage? Who else is our helper? We also explore the Hebrew "word pictures" within words like "Eden", helper, keep, and much more.

The Feast of Pentecost/Shavuot is one of the divine appointments with Yahweh (Lev. 23:1-2). So much happened on this day. This teaching goes into many of the important aspects of this amazing feast day. Enjoy the message as you dig into the depths of this wonderful day. (Note: the first 6 minutes of the audio was not recorded properly, so it starts about 1-1/2 pages into the transcript.)
