Why We Keep Passover

/

Along with most Jewish people, a growing number of Christians will also be celebrating Passover this year. This interest in Passover is a direct result of the renewed hunger to understand the Jesus of the Scriptures verse the Jesus of tradition. As believers in Jesus return to biblical literature, they are also returning to the ancient celebrations and holy days found in the word of God. Passover is probably the most popular one currently. Join us and discover why Passover was so important to Jesus and His followers and why it should be equally as important to you.

Our Holy Week of Passover

/

The holy week of Passover is almost here! This set of holy days reveal, exalt, and celebrate Jesus as the Lamb of God who makes atonement for the sins of the world so that whoever believes in Him shall not perish in hell, but receive and experience true life now and forever more! We keep and celebrate the holy week of Passover because God has commanded us to and the Apostles modeled it for us! If you are new to this, join us as we unpack the holy week that Jesus initially fulfilled and His Apostles and all His followers kept.

Empowered To Do the Works of Jesus

/

Speaking the truths concerning Jesus and His Kingdom takes great courage because they are strikingly counterculture to this world’s lies and ways. Doing the works of Jesus are also controversial and upsetting for similar reasons. To do the works of Jesus, we all need something to give us courage and something to give us power to accomplish the mandate “…to make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you (Matthew 28:19-20).” That something is the third person of the Trinity; the Holy Spirit. Join us as we learn more about the person and power of the Holy Spirit for the life of the believer.

The Haman-Hamas Connection

The Scroll of Esther is a dramatic narrative set in the Persian Empire during the reign of King Ahasuerus in approximately 500 years BCE. It recounts how Esther, a Jewish woman, with the help of her cousin Mordecai, saves the Jewish people from an antisemitic plan to annihilate them. The sad news is that the spirit of Haman has risen again but this time in the terrorist organization, Hamas. Join us as we look the Haman-Hamas connection and Satan's ancient agenda to genocide the chosen people of God.

The Sabbath and the Gentiles

/

The Sabbath is the fourth of ten commandments spoken by God Himself and written with His own finger. The ten commandments were given to His chosen and treasured people Israel. The Sabbath is a sign that identifies Israel as belonging to the Lord and the Lord belonging to Israel. But what about the Gentiles who believe in the Lord and want a relationship with Him? Does He make a separate and different covenant with them?Join us as we explore the relationship of the Gentiles with the God of Israel and His chosen people.

Is Sunday the New Sabbath?

/

Jesus observed and celebrated the Biblical Sabbath (rather than Sunday) His entire life (Lk 4:16)! The Apostles also observed and celebrated Sabbath rather than Sunday! In fact, the entire church (Jews and Gentiles) in the Apostolic era also observed and celebrated the Sabbath as the weekly day of worship rather than Sunday. So, what happened? How did Sunday come to replace the biblical Sabbath for most Christians? Join us as we explore the main reasons why Catholic and Protestant Christians justify Sunday as the replacement for the Biblical Sabbath.

Stairway to Heaven

/

In 2019, iHeart Radio listed the top ten funeral rock songs. The number one, most popular funeral song was Led Zeppelin’s Stairway to Heaven. Why? it is probably related to the fact that deep inside every heart is the longing to connect with spiritual realm. Innately, we all know that the spiritual realm is the eternal one where everything is redeemed, reconciled, and made whole. Everyone wants to get there and many have different ideas about how to get there. Today we will look at the Stairway to Heaven as found in the Biblical text.

The Revelation of Hanukkah

/

Jesus not only fulfills the biblical holy days but He also fulfills an important national holiday called Hanukkah. By the first century, Hanukkah became known as the Festival of Lights symbolizing illumination, and revelation. During this festival, Jesus reveals that He and the Father are one! This revelation would usher in transformational life and blessing for all who would receive it. Today we will conclude our series on Hanukkah by exploring this unity between the Father and the Son.

The Illumination of Hanukkah

/

Illumination brings an awakening to that which is real, true, and transformative. It is like turning on a light in a dark room. Spiritual illumination is not only being awakened to the spiritual and eternal realm but also being transformed by the power of this kingdom. Hanukkah, also known as the Festival of Light, is the very season that marks the revelation of who Jesus is. Join us as we are illuminated with the revelation of Jesus in the Temple, at Jerusalem, during the Celebration of Lights.

The Inspiration of Hanukkah

/

Hanukkah has been overlooked by the traditional Gentile Church for nearly 2000 years! It has neglected its importance, failing to recognize that Hanukkah is inextricably connected with Jesus and His Mission. One cannot separate the meaning of Hanukkah from who Jesus is. He is the inaugural fulfillment of its revelation and significance. The themes and lessons of Hanukkah are universal and it inspires us to believe in Jesus staying loyal to God’s law. Join us in our dance with this ancient song and story of Hanukkah! You shall know the truth and the truth will set you free!

The Great Red Dragon

/ The Harvest Ministries/

You have an enemy. He is the ancient serpent, the evil one, the great red dragon. He is most widely known as Satan or the Devil. He has wisdom, power, a kingdom, and an army of fallen angels and demons at his behest. From the beginning, Jesus said he is a liar and a murderer. One of his greatest lies is to get the masses to believe that he, his kingdom, and his agenda does not exist. But the Sacred Scriptures expose him for who he is. The Bible reveals his agenda, his aspirations, and his threat to everyone who believes in Jesus and commit themselves to God’s commandments. Join us in the series on the Great Red Dragon. In this sermon, we will be studying Revelation 12.
