Whether you’re a man or woman, I promise you – you will gain some inspiring insights into man-woman by this sermon. We decided to start with Christ and how he treated women, rather than start with the traditional passages in Ephesians, etc. We are to have HIS mind and be more and more like Him – in all areas. Which social taboos and rules did He break and ignore to show the way women should be treated? How did He treat repentant women of ill repute? How did He use women to spread the gospel in their own unique way? What areas can we perhaps change and grow in – as we see our Example before us? There’s also a lot in here about being single – and what YHVH ways to single men and women. Enjoy!

FREE the Holy Spirit to work in your fellowship. Is the true living God in religion? Did He ever form a religion? Or is he after relationship? Is the Holy Spirit free-flowing and actively working in your fellowship group and in your life? Do you hear the Shepherd’s voice (John 10:27)? Are you and your group led by the Holy Spirit? Do you see the gifts of the spirit at work in every member? What are your gifts of the spirit and are you allowed to use your gifts to edify your fellowship – or is that role exclusive to ordained ministers? This and much more in this intriguing message.

This sermon will give great hope to those of you who have concluded you are beyond “change” – and that you’re incorrigible. This message will also challenge others of you and rock you to your core to check the amount of real love of God that flows in your heart and soul. This sermon is about the love of Christ and our Father for ALL humanity – and the same love that should be evident in the true family of God as well in simple and practical ways. Are some people too bad to ever truly change? And do some people have histories so bad – even if God is working with them – to ever accept them into the fellowship of the Body of Christ? Could God call, change and save anyone willing to heed His call to repentance? Or are there some people so bad that not even God will want to bother with them? But if HE bothers with them, shouldn’t we also? This message could change your life. If this message touches your heart – please pass it on to others you know who would benefit from the message.

If you know someone going through fiery trials, or if you are, you can really benefit from this message. WHY do God’s children have so many tests of their faith? Why so many trials and tests? How do we defeat doubt, worry and anxiety? What are the biggest reasons for testing our faith? How do we come to a perfect peace in the storm? Are we sure we even have true faith? All this and more in this part 2 message. Please be sure to listen to part 1 first.

What is the most important and critical time and place you have each day? Do you treat it as being so vital by giving it significant time and attention each day? This message may help you pray more. Do you have a regular private place of prayer? Does the evidence show God’s children are not praying enough?

This sermon is far deeper than the blog of the same title. You will be inspired by and appreciate your Savior, your Beloved Son of God and Brother, more than ever if you soak in the message of this sermon. See how EVERYTHING in the Passover pointed to Yeshua and how He fulfilled all of it – and more than you might have realized before.

Many claim to be followers of Christ but neighbors and work associates have no inkling you believe so strongly in Christ. Is openly confessing Christ an option? See how important this is according to Yeshua/Jesus himself. See and hear the examples of those who have gone before. And are we ready for the times of intense persecution coming in the years ahead that will hit all of us who do confess the Christ? But what happens if we don't confess him? You’ll want to find out.

With everything good and bad that can be said about organized Christianity – do you want to be called a “Christian”? Several have said they prefer other labels so that they’re not lumped in with Christians who don’t keep the sabbath or who keep pagan holidays, etc., not to mention the sometimes violent and sordid historical record of traditional Christianity. So in this teaching we examine both sides of this discussion. What did the early followers of Christ call themselves? What did Paul and Peter have to say about being called a “Christian”? And what IS a true Christian or true follower of Christ? Wherever you are on this subject, I hope you will hear and study this vital message. It WILL make you think. I’d love your feedback.

1 John 4:17b (HOW we live by the faith of Yeshua) Last time we covered that we must not just live by our own faith, but by our Savior’s faith, HIS faith. How do we do that? How do we look to HIM as the Author and finisher of our faith? This sermon goes into HOW to live by His faith. What’s the KEY understanding we need in order to harness his faith? What does it mean to be “in him” and how does that help us live by and through HIS faith? Also: how focusing on our sins and weaknesses just makes them worse, and on what/whom we should be focusing instead to be victorious over self and sin.

God “used to” reveal himself to men and women “in Bible times” through angels, and even from Christ himself. Others had dreams and visions. These happened both in the Old and New Testament accounts and even after Christ’s resurrection. Has God quit revealing himself and His will? Peter says in Acts 2 that he believed the Joel 2 prophecy was happening; that men AND women were speaking as led by the Holy Spirit. This sermon shows that God has not retired, has not gone mute, but in fact reveals Himself in many ways to those who have ears to hear and eyes to see. Be sure to print out the notes but also hear the audio – as so much more is in the audio than just the notes.

And why must everyone else rest? Who was Azazel? The Day of Atonement(s) (Yom Kippurim) is a most solemn and sacred day on which NO work whatsoever is to be done. But one man worked, and worked hard. Who was he, and what does it mean? WHY was he exempted from “no work” rule? Why did everyone else have to REST on Atonement? And did we not have our sins atoned for at Passover? So why again? How does that apply to us today? And later on, a 2nd man did some work. It has everything to do with us today. And who did the Azazel (Scapegoat) point to? If you think Satan is depicted on this day… please definitely listen to this sermon.

Our God’s politeness. Does Almighty God have to ever say “please”? Does he ever say “please” when speaking with mortals? This message will focus on a side of our God that you may not have heard much about – when even God says please. Yes, it’s in your Bible, though unfortunately camouflaged by most Bibles translated into English.

Does it matter? When does human life begin? With the news of what Planned Parenthood is doing, and sonogram evidence now of human life active in the womb at earlier and earlier stages – it’s time to visit this topic. We believers must know what God’s word says on this. We must not remain silent. This message covers topics like “celebrities” who were almost aborted, what God says about the value of unborn babies, will aborted fetuses/babies have a future with God?, and what if YOU have had an abortion? All this and more. Spread the word about this message.

We love it when Yahweh gives us powerful and swift answers when we pray. We love it when things go smoothly. But what about those times when we pray and pray – and the pain gets worse, the healing doesn’t happen, loved ones suffer painful death, or times when we have disasters in our lives and our Father seems distant and uninvolved? It’s tempting to wonder why Yahweh doesn’t do more, when he has all power to do anything! Why doesn’t he intervene more? Why does he let his own children (true believers) go through long periods without apparently intervening? This message is about such times – when we feel let down by the Almighty. And yes, many prophets had these same thoughts. The notes will come shortly, but enjoy the audio. We also show how prophets and apostles worked through these difficult times of disappointment. May this message bless you and help you work through tough times in your life.

God loves to give gifts and He gives many. Pentecost is the anniversary of the giving of the Holy Spirit as God’s gift. It’s easy to ignore gifts or not use them. This gift is so precious and powerful, we must be certain we have received it and are using it to the full. Are you confident you have received God’s Holy Spirit? How would you know? Do you value and cherish it? Would you like to have more of it? Is it growing inside you? Is it a rushing river of life – or a stagnant pond? We’ll cover all that plus an overview of the Day of Pentecost. You’ll better appreciate and value the gift of God’s Holy Spirit with this sermon.

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.

Eph 4:32; Col 3:13 Key to Our Own Forgiveness This is a new and updated version of the sermon on the same topic, but different material today, than the one I gave in 2008. Salvation at its core is about forgiveness and the new life we have in Christ. True forgiveness – at least the way Christ forgives us – is very hard. Truly forgiving others gives the forgiven one and the one doing the forgiving a new lease on life plus many blessings. But without it, we’re not going to be forgiven either. We can’t forgive the consequences of sin, but we can release any resentment, hate, bitterness and lack of love for what others have done to us or we to them. This is a very, very important topic

As we come to Passover, it is appropriate we examine why Christ had to die by the intensely painful death of being crucified for our sins and why Paul says HE was crucified with Christ. (This is a mostly new sermon, though I’ve spoken on this topic many years ago.) God’s plan of redemption begins with crucifixion. So Passover and the crucifixion go hand in hand. Yeshua tells his followers they must take up their cross daily and follow him. Are YOU crucified with Christ? What does that mean? This has everything to do with being “in Christ”.

One of the main reasons people divide and separate is over doctrinal differences. This teaching goes into: what is doctrine? Where does true doctrine come from? How does scripture say we should handle doctrinal disagreements? Which doctrines are crucial to salvation and which ones are not – or are all doctrines crucial? How did Yeshua and Paul handle doctrinal disputes? What’s the balance? I hope this teaching will speak to each one’s heart.

Yeshua (Jesus) said he would build his one church (ekklesia) and it would survive the ages. So where is it? Are all Christians a part of that body? Is it a particular group you can go worship with? WHAT is the true church? WHERE are its people? Is it any one organization led by a man or woman someplace? Who has God called “My people”? HOW does one become a part of this true church? You might be surprised.
