Any Bible reader knows the story of how YHVH eradicated the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah and other nearby cities, for their evil ways. The primary sin depicted in Genesis 19 is sodomy. But the parallel description in Ezekiel 16: states other sins – like their pride, their not caring for the poor and more. But what ELSE do we know – from the very lips of our Savior? What did he say about his attitude towards the ancient inhabitants of Sodom compared to the God-believing people of his day? You might be surprised.

If you are a dad or mom, or have a living father or mother, or really any loved ones, be sure to hear this sermon. A weekend in June in the USA and Canada is Father’s Day. We focus on Fathers, the 5th commandment, on the One true Father in heaven. We discuss why being a good daddy is so helpful in helping our children understand Father in heaven as a loving and wonderful Father. We talk about our holy children, our marriage covenant and divorce, and when dad and children become estranged from each other. You’ll also find wonderful links to father-child songs that will pull at your heart strings. PLUS…the coming ultimate FATHER’S DAY of all time!

Did men and women of God in the Old Testament have the Holy Spirit IN them the same way we have God’s spirit today? What are the theological consequences of saying “yes” or “no” to that question? Can God take away the gift of the Spirit if we don’t carefully guard it’s holy presence and function in our lives? This message also conveys what a JOY it is to have God’s spirit and how we are to value and guard God’s holy presence in us. You’ll find more nuance and feeling in the audio version.

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? Originally posted in 2014, this timeless message will make you ponder a lot of things in your relationship with our Father and Yeshua.

Given originally in 2014, this message is timeless, especially if you focus on the last half of the sermon. Three days and 3 night after Christ’s death, he rose again, and then ascended to heaven “on the first of the weeks" after Yeshua's crucifixion. Our Messiah ascended as the Wavesheaf offering, sanctifying the rest of the harvest of souls so that WE could be accepted by Father. Wavesheaf day is not a holyday, but IS a significant day. Learn about the exciting meaning of Wavesheaf day. Also learn exactly when Yeshua's (Jesus) resurrection took place. Any modern dates given in this message applied to 2014, but you’ll get the important points. Philip
