Intro lesson to the series. I cover Male and Female in Genesis 1, 2, and 5, centering in on the equal value Eve held with Adam. I also look at the word "helper" in Genesis 2:18 in order to see if it carries a meaning of lower value as some have suggested.

In light of the current crisis, my mind has been focusing on Yeshua's words in his Sermon on the Mount. Worry is an easy thing to get caught up in. What is much better than worry though, is trust; a trust that not only believes but gives.

This lesson is an offshoot of a current series (spring 2020) on Exodus 11 through 12. In light of current events (Covid-19), we are currently holding online services only, and have decided to observe Passover in the second month. Is this allowed? Listen to learn of the grace and mercy Yahweh shows us in His Passover.

This is our final lesson in the book of Galatians. It covers things like martyrdom, the torture stake of Yeshua, suffering persecution for the Master, and what makes one an Israelite or child of Abraham.

Why does Paul mention writing with large letters? Also, the motive of the influencers is discussed. It is amazing that Paul says those who push circumcision don't even keep the law.

Whatever we sow is what we will eventually reap. Sometimes it just doesn't seem that way, but we must not get tired of doing good, because our harvest is coming.

One way we love our neighbor is by taking care of men who have dedicated their lives to the study and teaching of law and gospel. This lesson covers both the abuse of such practice and the proper use.

When you watch your brother and sister fall into a sin, how should you handle it? This lesson also covers what the phrase "law of Christ" refers to.

The contrast with the works of the flesh is the fruit of the Spirit. If we have been given the first-fruits of the Spirit, we will produce fruit consistent with that gift.

Our battle as Spirit-filled believers is with powers of darkness in a spiritual realm. Listen to learn about identifying our enemy and taking precaution to stand against him.

What does it mean to be led by and walk in the Spirit? Why is it that as believers in the Messiah we still struggle with sin? Do certain sins keep one outside of the Kingdom? How will we ever win battles over our sin?

Paul has taught the Gentiles to stand firm against the false gospel of the influencers, but he balances that out by also teaching them that they must fulfill the law. Just because you aren't justified by certain commandments doesn't mean you aren't required to obey Torah.

This lesson covers the need to be careful who you listen to, Paul's preaching or not preaching of circumcision, how the torture stake the Messiah died upon was a stumbling block to many, and the call for the false teachers to be castrated. There's a lot to learn here.

What does the Bible say about the relationship between a slave and a master? How are we to view slavery, and are there any relationships in modern society that are equivalent? We are all servants, and we should all serve with willingness and gratitude.

Was Paul discouraging circumcision in Galatians? Why does he say that circumcision and uncircumcision doesn't accomplish anything? What really matters? What really makes a difference?

Was Paul warning the Galatians about being enslaved to the law? Listen to learn about the contrast between a heavy yoke and an easy yoke.

Paul continues to perform his own midrash on the historical account of Abraham, Sarah, and Hagar, making some interesting links in the process. What does casting out the bondwoman mean to Paul, and how does Ishmael's mocking of Isaac correlate with the persecution the believing Gentiles were receiving?

When we neglect the very basic of instructions, society ends up in chaos. It all begins with honoring those who have came before us, and training our children in the fear of Yahweh.

How is the Day of Atonement relevant in 2019? How do we discipline ourselves spiritually, so as to gain greater levels of holiness?

Paul presents Sarah and Hagar as an allegory. He pulls from a historical account in Genesis, and reveals that there is a deeper spiritual reality in the account.
