    James Part 2

    James opens his letter with an unusual call: “Count it all joy, my brothers and sisters, when you meet trials of various kinds” (Jas. 1:2). His call to joy in suffering is not sentimental optimism, but faithful realism. Let's take a closer look!

    James Part 1

    The Epistle of James stands among the most direct, uncompromising, and Jewishly grounded writings of the New Testament. It confronts the reader not with abstract theology, but with lived faith, faith tested by suffering and trial, expressed through obedience, and made visible in righteous conduct. To understand this epistle correctly, one must first understand its author, his historical reputation, his martyrdom, and the volatile religious and social world in which he wrote. This study is an introduction to the epistle, James 1:1.

    Hebrews Part 36

    Hebrews: A Jewish Epistle in Contemporary Times, A Great Cloud of Witnesses Speaking The author of Hebrews is writing to Jewish believers in Messiah Yeshua/Jesus who are considering turning back, to what? To the angels, to the Temple, to Moses, to Aaron, to the sacrifices, to their past. In a powerful and profound way, the author is speaking not only to the hearts of Jewish disciples who are wavering under the pressure of following Yeshua, but also to people today who are wavering in faith.  In this episode we consider Hebrews 13:17-25, how and why the original audience drifted away, and what the author suggests is the remedy for this drift in faith: go back. Not to what they once knew, but to Messiah Yeshua/Jesus, and those who have led by example.

    Hebrews Part 34

    Hebrews: A Jewish Epistle in Contemporary Times, A Great Cloud of Witnesses Speaking The author of Hebrews is writing to Jewish believers in Messiah Yeshua/Jesus who are considering turning back, to what? To the angels, to the Temple, to Moses, to Aaron, to the sacrifices, to their past. In a powerful and profound way, the author is speaking not only to the hearts of Jewish disciples who are wavering under the pressure of following Yeshua, but also to people today who are wavering in faith.  In this episode we consider Hebrews 13:1-8, the author uses a shorthand of Leviticus 18 - 20, the heart of the Torah to give a final ethical exhortation on: φιλαδελφία (brotherly love), hospitality, those in prison, marriage, sexual purity, greed, contentment, God’s promises, and the unchanging nature of Messiah. Give a listen!

There are times in life when life itself can shake us, but what of that which is eternal? Give a listen.

What does the author say about this, and how do we interpret it in faith and healing in Messiah? Give a listen!

    Hebrews: A Jewish Epistle in Contemporary Times, A Great Cloud of Witnesses Speaking The author of Hebrews is writing to Jewish believers in Messiah Yeshua/Jesus who are considering turning back, to what?

If we are enduring correction, if we are enduing trial, what does the author say of us? This is such an important point for all faithful in Messiah to take hold of, and the author helps to cement this important point in our hearts.
