With God, your future is unstoppable! It does not matter what you are up against, the universe bows at the altar of those whose faith is in God and His Messiah. This is seen clearly in the story of the Exodus. Join us in this series as we learn the principles of overcoming all the odds against us. You will not look at life the same way again!
Within the holy week of Passover, we have a task to accomplish that inextricably ties together two great festivals; Passover and Shavuot. We are commanded to count for 50 days which brings us to Shavuot. It is if God is saying, I brought you out in order to bring you in! I brought our ancestors out of the slavery of Egypt and into the freedom of the Promised land. What would that mean for us today under the second and greater Exodus in Messiah. And what would that mean under the second and greater Pentecost in Messiah? Come and join us in exploring these questions.
The Holy Week of Passover memorializes forever the sacrificial death of Jesus, the Passover Lamb of God. So important was his death that it became central to Messianic Judaism and later Christianity as seen in the Passover Seder, the Catholic Eucharist, and the Protestant Communion. In the words of the Apostle Paul, "For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which He was betrayed took bread; and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” In the same way He took the cup also after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes" (1 Corinthians 11:23-26). His death, rather than His resurrection, was to be the emphasis for all believers, in every place, and in every generation. Join is to find out why!
The Holy Week of Passover memorializes many things, one of which is the spectacular resurrection of Jesus, the Passover Lamb of God! But what does that mean for us who believe? Join us as we explore the reverberations and ramifications of His rising!
There is an old and a new Passover spoken of throughout the Scriptures; a first and second one. Just like there is a first and second Moses and an old and new covenant. They are all connected and all interwoven. The first and second Passover finds its fullness in Yeshua, the Passover Lamb of God! In Him we have a new and greater Passover, a new and loftier exodus, a new and better covenant. “To Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, be blessing and honor and glory and dominion forever and ever” (Rev. 5:13).
In part two of this series, we encounter the pride of Jonah. We get to see why he was unruly, angry, and in the throws of suicidal ideation. In spite of all his shortcomings, God loves and uses him for His glory. We also discover the Jonah-Jesus connection. It is this very story that reveals so much about Jesus and His mission. Join us as we traverse the twist and turns of the life of Jonah the audacious Prophet!
The story of the historical Jonah is borderline unbelievable; at best a fantasy designed to communicate the heart of God to forgive and bless people. But, what if it is historically true? Then, and only then, would it become the sign of Jesus' claim of being the Messiah. In other words, if Jonah actually died and descended into hell (sheol) and then was raised from the dead and subsequently, brought the great metropolis of Nineveh to repentance and salvation, how much more would Jesus accomplish once God raised him from the dead? Join us as we learn about the sign of Jonah and the Jesus, Jonah connection.
Marriage and family are a central part of God’s design for our world. Through marriage and family God brings meaning, purpose, life and blessing. Understanding His design will help us to strengthen and bless our homes, communities, and the nations we live in. This Shabbat, we will discuss the roles of men and women. God created human beings in His image. They are binary – male and female. They are fully equal in worth, dignity, and status, but uniquely different physically and psychologically. In addition, they have equally important but different roles in marriage. Join us as we explore the beautiful differences between the binary genders in the context of biblical marriage. In Part 4, we will finish our teaching on women as wives and the family as the very basis for culture and society. May this teaching series on marriage and family bless and inspire you and yours.

“Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven!” Jesus inaugurated the Kingdom of God here on earth approximately two thousand years ago. It is growing and advancing throughout this world. One of the primary dynamics that increase and moves the Kingdom is the spoken word. Coupled with faith, the spoken word ignites phenomena that brings about life giving change, both in our lives and the very world we live in. Join us as we take a closer look at the nature and power of the spoken word.
The kingdom comes with authority. This authority manifests in many ways and some of those ways are what we call miracles! A miracle is an event that appears inexplicable by the laws of nature and so is held to be supernatural in origin or an act of God. In this teaching, we will take a closer look into miracles and the authority of God to perform them.
A Kingdom includes a King, a Law (Torah), a people, geography, values, and a mission and vision. In this teaching, Pastor Mark will focus on the Law or Torah of the our King and His Kingdom. This Torah of King Jesus is for all those who have entered the Kingdom. It is what identifies and defines us. It is the way of life that King Jesus has given to us. So, let’s jump in and begin to live it out. It is who we are!
We noted in the previous teaching, The People’s Kingdom, that Daniel prophesied that the Son of Man would receive God’s Kingdom and later would give it to His people. We discovered that His people were those Jews and later Gentiles who received Him as their King. esus called them His “little flock”. It was synonymous with the antecedent flock called the remnant of Israel in the TaNaK. This little flock is His ekklesia; His Church. It is His Church that receives the Kingdom. Join us as we take a closer look at the Church and The Kingdom and what it means for you.
Part of the mystery of the Kingdom of God is that it is a spiritual Kingdom that is not of this world. To be sure, it is real! It has a king, a law, dominion, authority, power, and glory. But, because it is spiritual, most people cannot see it as they do not know what to look for. Once you know what to look for, you will see it all around. And if you choose to enter it, you will not only experience its wonders, but you will come to possess it authority, power, and glory.
Effectual prayer is the most powerful force for change in our world! Learning how to pray effectively is the key to overcoming this world and every evil thing in it. If we want to be representatives of Jesus and bring healing and restoration to all around us, we will need to learn the art of prayer. Jesus gave us the blueprint for successful prayer if you will. It is the paradigm for successful prayer. It will move the mountains of lies, hurts, misery, and death in this world of ours. It will give hope to the hopeless and peace to those in torment. So, let’s learn this ancient art of transformation as we introduce the hurting to the One who heals.
This is the second in a series on the Kingdom of God. In the previous teaching, we discovered that Jesus central message and work was to usher in and establish the long-awaited Kingdom of God on earth as it is in Heaven. He called this the Gospel of God. It all began with Him nearly 2000 years ago. This Kingdom is still growing and will come into its glorious phase when Jesus returns. In this teaching, we will look at when Jesus the Messiah becomes King over His Father’s Kingdom and what that means for His followers.
When Christian believers think of the essential message of Jesus, they think of things like love, forgiveness, grace, justice, and mercy. If we are Messianic believers, we tend to think it was Israel, the Torah and the Prophets, or perhaps the covenant of Moses. Would it surprise you to discover it was none of these things? Most believers are surprised and inspired when they find out what Jesus Himself said His core message was. Join us as we explore His life giving and empowering fundamental message!
Does heaven intersect and interact with earth? The human heart is preoccupied with heaven. It is something each of us are intrigued by and have questions about. Join us in this series on heaven and earth as we explore the gateway to heaven!
