Worship in Revelation
December 28, 2019 • John Ross
Revelation is about how the Bridegroom (Yeshua) was faithful to his marriage covenant with the Bride (saved Jewish and non-Jewish people from the nations). Yeshua’s Lordship, love letters, and coming reign leads us to worship. Everyone worships something. We must make the daily choice to worship him.
Wrestling With G-d
December 14, 2019 • Rabbi Philip Lanning
Life events such as untimely deaths, sickness and disease, the loss of a loved one, infertility and bareness, acts of violence or injustice, violations of trust, rejection, unfulfilled expectations, and unanswered questions can cause us to wrestle with G-d. In this sermon we look at some of the principles from the Jacob's wrestling match that we can apply to our own lives when we go through times of wrestling with G-d.
Re-Digging the Wells
November 30, 2019 • Rabbi Philip Lanning
Yeshua taught us that the Ruach would be like a well of living water in the life of a Believer. But sometimes our well can become stopped up. This sermon highlights some of the principles of increasing the flow of Ruach in your life from the Torah portion of Isaac re-digging the wells of his father Abraham.
Worship in Hebrews and Revelation
November 23, 2019 • John Ross
Worship in Hebrews is focused on Yeshua because He passed through the veil to obtain eternal rest for our souls. Through Messiah we are cleansed from a guilty conscience, we have confidence to enter the most Holy Place by His blood, and we can draw near to G-d with full assurance. Worship in Revelation is manifested through praise and worship hymns, songs, and liturgy.
To Whom Does the Lord Appear?
November 16, 2019 • Rabbi Richard Freeman
Adonai made a deal with Abraham to make Him a great nation. When G-d says He will do something, even when His promises do not appear to be materializing, you can trust that He will do it. Rather than trying to help G-d with our Ishmael’s, we should wait on the L-rd to fulfill His promise.

Zman Simchatenu: Time of Our Rejoicing
October 19, 2019 • Rabbi Philip Lanning
Sukkot is a time of rejoicing: finding joy again in what Adonai has done. When we rejoice we can create a space for G-d to manifest His Presence in the earth. A Sukkah of Praise is built on three branches that involve remembering, praising, and proclaiming.
Invoking the Presence of Adonai
October 12, 2019 • Rabbi Richard Freeman
Does anything invoke the presence of Adonai? When Israel cried for help, Adonai defeated an impossible army. When the Apostles prayed at Pentecost, Adonai shook their gathering place and filled them with the Ruach. When Paul and Silas prayed, Adonai delivered them from jail. God’s presence manifests in response to our invocation, and the only proper response is to praise Him!
Yirat Adonai: The Fear of Adonai
October 5, 2019 • Rabbi Philip Lanning
Unhealthy fear navigates life without recognizing G-d is the King and we are not. Fear believes we have to look out for ourselves, worries if there is enough provision for tomorrow, and doubts whether things will work out. We must remember the Word of the L-rd, trust God’s provision, and tell our children about His faithfulness.
Erev Rosh Hashanah 5780
September 29, 2019 • John Ross
Adonai required Israel to prepare sin offerings for their atonement, but these temporary sacrifices only looked forward to the ultimate sin offering He would provide. The Jewish Sages predicted two Messiahs: a suffering servant and a reigning king, and Yeshua is the One Messiah who fulfills both predictions.
An Undershepherd's Goal: The Whole Truth (Part 2)
September 28, 2019 • Rabbi Richard Freeman
The grace of Yeshua is so incredible you will have to share Messiah with your words and with your life. As we grow in His grace, our sanctified life in Messiah will be characterized by righteous living. The principle of spiritual increase teaches the Messiah will multiply our opportunities to share the Good News if we are faithful stewards.
