“This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.” – Exodus 12:2 We are a people of deliverance – therefore we must be a people of remembrance. We have stepped into the Passover season, a season of humility where the barley sheaves are bowed low and are waiting for their harvest. Today is the…
Listen as Derek shares his heart on why we must embrace trials and temptation. We will never grow enough to overcome sin until we learn to take the right door of escape. We know that we have overcome sin in our lives when the thrill of winning the battle over temptation exceeds the thrill of the fulfillment of that temptation,…
In conclusion, the establishment of the boundaries of Torah (Law) were never meant to justify anyone, but to show us our position; whether inside or outside of the borders of the Kingdom, set by the Word of Elohim (Messiah Yahushua) Click <HERE> to Listen!
A continuation in understanding that the “Law” (Torah) that once condemed us, is the same “Law” we now live under unto eternal life through Messiah’s work of redemption on the stake! Click <HERE> to Listen!
A fireside chat on the controversial topic of whether “New Testament” believers are under the “Old Testament” law or not under it. What did Messiah Yahushua (Jesus) really set us free from? Click <HERE> to Listen
In my walk, as a believer in Messiah and His whole Word from Genesis to Revelation, it is amazing to me of how many times, and in a variety of ways, that I hear how people are so excited to be “free” from that ole’ cursed Law. “The Law was nailed to the cross,” they say. What is not understood…
By the death of Messiah Yahushua, our Savior, we have been released from the commandment of death in order to marry Another–the One who was raised from the dead to produce fruits of life unto Elohim (Romans 7:4 paraphrased). I am always intrigued by what I have difficulty in understanding. Sha’ul’s (Paul’s) writings, especially Romans 4-8, have been attacked by…
The theme of the Word of Elohim is being rewarded for what has been sown. Proverbs 11 is a good example of this. In fact, in Proverbs 11 verse 8, it speaks of the righteous who are delivered from trouble, yet the wicked take their place. In other words, if the righteous man is delivered out of a snare, there…
—This is a word I received yesterday evening, 9/1/2015— “The entire theme of the Renewed Covenant is dying to the flesh. If there is no dying to the flesh, we are no different than the world and our belief in Messiah is in vain.” After the initial being taken back by this word, I began to ponder on its meaning.…
Shabbat Shalom! As we prepare to enter the Passover week, we wanted to share (or should we say re-share) an article previously written about worship. Not only worship, but ‘unleavened’ worship. What is unleavened worship? It is the simple, pure worship that results from being de-contaminated of the leaven in our lives through allowing His oil, His wick, His flame to…
This study investigates various issues many believers do not wish to discuss because they are either too shameful to mention or perhaps the issues are completely unknown to them. Some of the questions discussed are: Why do I still struggle with sin? Why do I still feel guilty though I have been forgiven of my sins? Can I lose my salvation?…
The time of Elul and the season of T’Shuvah (repentance) is here. Our desire is that you will use this ‘preparation time’ wisely, and cry out to Abba to place you on His examination table. We have entered the time of no return, no going back. If you have set your sights on the coming Kingdom of Messiah, you understand…
About 6-8 months ago, I listened to a Chuck Girard song titled “Don’t Shoot the Wounded,” and although it’s one of my least favorite songs of his, I couldn’t get one line of the song out of my mind… “We can love them and forgive them when their sin does not exceed our own” (Click here to see all the…
In preparation for the Passover season, I wanted to re-release this study article – ‘The Call to Unleavened Worship’. Worshipping Yah must be done in a fashion that is void of anything within us that causes ‘self’ to ‘rise’ and be puffed up. He is after unleavened lifestyles. Removing the ‘rising factor’ from our lives, through recognition that He is…
