The Festival of Trumpets is one of the eight annual holy days of God. It finds it fulfillment in the return of Jesus and in the great white throne judgment of God when He judges the living and the dead. Today we will take a brief look at the seven trumpets of God in the book of Revelation and how they reveal what is coming and how we can prepare for it. Be sure to join us in our upcoming celebration of Yom Teruah, the day of blowing trumpets!

We live in a beautiful but volatile world. It is a world filled with righteousness and wickedness. The war between good and evil began in the very beginning when we chose to rebel against the Creator. It will continue until the return of Messiah when He comes to slay the Anti-Christ, his worldwide beast system, and miracle working false prophet. In the Feast of Trumpets, Messiah's great return is revealed. As we remember and we observe the upcoming Fall Holydays, we are informed and ready for the coming events that will shake our world. We are prepped and spared from the coming plagues, catastrophes, chaos, and misery. God has promised to preserve us and keep us in and through his coming wrath filled judgements. Join us as we look at the end times through the lens of the Fall Holydays.
Every spiritual person celebrates holy days. We were made with a felt need for times of celebration. For the follower of Jesus, we have our times already set and spelled out for us. They are called “appointed times” in the Bible. These are special sacred times that God promises to meet with us in a unique way. They are filled with blessings, purpose and meaning. They also serve as types and shadows of Jesus and all He will accomplish. In keeping them, we remain focused and centered in Jesus. This is by far an essential reason why we keep them. If you want to be focused on and centered in Jesus, join us as we remember and keep the biblical holydays!
Join us as we hear a special message from Rabbi Emmanuel Tarohocker of Beth Machaseh Messianic Congregation. Rabbi Emmanuel will share his testimony on how he came to faith and embraced the Torah as a way of life. We hope you are encouraged by the story of this man’s journey into the Jewish roots of his faith!
So much ink has been spilled over what women are and aren't allowed to do in ministry. Why? Because of two Pauline passages. The passages are often taken out of context and used to keep women silent and thus irrelevant in an array of church ministries. This is problematic because Paul was viewed as a liberator of women and women’s rights in ministry while he was alive. In this teaching we will look a little closer at the two controversial passages in Pauline literature that are most cited in arguing that women need to be silent in church. Join us as we midrash and discuss this complicated topic together!
God has given to the Church a variety of ministers, ministries, and offices to guide, serve, and protect her. Each of these have similar and overlapping features as well as distinctions. In this teaching we will give an orientation to fivefold ministers in contradistinction to Elders as well as the roles men and women can play in these. Join us as we learn more about the ministry of the Church!
As a representative of Jesus, the King of Heaven, what is our mission on earth? What are we supposed to be doing? What is our primary message? What is our essential work? How are we to accomplish it? Join us as we explore these weighty questions. Together, with the help of the Holy Spirit, we shall find our answers and accomplish our calling for the glory of Jesus, King of kings and Lord of lords!
Holiness is the way we live our lives as believers rising out of our identity in God. It is the very thing that engages and safeguards blessing in our lives. Everyone who is born of the Holy Spirit pursues holiness. It is who we are.Therefore, we embrace it with great joy and thanksgiving. In this teaching we will explore what holiness in apparel looks like and how it relates to gender.

This nation has long turned it's face from God and in response, it seems as though God's covering has been removed from us. Judgement is pouring on to this country. What does this mean for us who believe and have not turned our faces from the Almighty? It is important that the Body is reminded that God is sovereign over this world and all that happens. His promises are true and independent of our circumstances. He guides us to find stability amid chaos. In addition to this understanding, God gives us specific responsibilities to fulfill in the good times and the bad times. Join us as we explore our God-given responsibilities and learn how to find God's prosperity in times of great difficulty!
The Apostle John saw Anti-Christs everywhere! He is the one who constructs a view of Anti-Christs that often is overlooked or misunderstood. While most believers are looking for THE Anti-Christ, John focuses on all the lessor Anti-Christs that are around us (even, at times, in our congregations). Join us as we explore this ever-present threat and how to dismantle it.
The Apostle John paints a beautiful picture of community and its benefits. It all begins with the incarnation of Jesus, the light and word, of God. In Him we have life, community, purpose, and meaning. As we join in local communal groups, we enjoy protection from the schemes of the enemy and the seductions of this evil world we live in. In community we live and thrive as God intended. Join us as we continue to explore the wisdom and purpose of faith communities.
Light is a metaphor for true abundant life. It is eternal in that it is an essential part of the nature of God. This light brings and imparts life, a forever life! It is a life abundant in meaning, purpose, and blessing. It begins when we embrace Yeshua as our Lord and Savior and never ends! Join us as we continue explore these transformational ideas in the Letters of John.
God’s presence makes us whole! In Him we are saved and delivered from the dark, cruel haunts of this world. In His presence and under His compassionate reign, we begin the journey of experiencing life as He intended it for us. Acceptance, healing, belonging, and new beginnings are just a few of the experiences awaiting us. Yes, there will always be fiery challenges in this life, but with God’s presence we can overcome all of them as we immerse ourselves in His love, power, and presence. Join us as we explore this gift of His presence the letters of the Apostle John!
Life is complicated! It is replete with challenges, trials, and tribulations. How will you navigate its paths? How will you overcome its difficulties? Jesus gives to His followers the gift of the Holy Spirit. In addition to being God, the Holy Spirit is the superlative personal advocate, advisor, guardian, and guide! With the Holy Spirit in you, you will immediately begin to overcome this world and experience a life abundant with blessing, meaning, and purpose. Join us as we learn how to relate to and grow in our relationship with the Holy Spirit!
The goal of salvation is to be reconciled and in fellowship with God! In the salvation experience, we are given the gift of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is God’s presence in us. It imparts life and life abundantly. It is available to every believer in Jesus. Join us as we learn how to be immersed in God’s presence!
Shavuot/Pentecost memorializes the gift of the Holy Spirit and the Torah as a way of life for the redeemed. On this festival (generally), Rabbinic Jews celebrate the giving of the Torah and Christians celebrate the gift of the Holy Spirit. Messianic Jews and Messianic Gentiles commemorate both! As a result, we have a gospel that not only saves but transforms a person's life. Being born again is the beginning, not the end of the journey. Join us as we discover a way of life that is full of meaning and blessing!
Being chosen to be His people is the easy part. Actualizing the call is another matter. Yes, it is true that God loves us and has called us to participate in and as His chosen people, but, if we do not respond in faith, that experience will never transpire and in the end will be wasted. What good is being chosen if one does not respond, fulfill, and experience what that means? Join us as we explore how and what it means to respond and thus become part of His treasured people.
God is choosing, redeeming, and taking a people for Himself. It is through them that redemption will come to all the nations. But, in order to be His vessel, we all must pass the tests set before us. The challenges are orchestrated by God and designed to shape and fashion us to be His Holy people. We are called to represent Him and His redemption to a lost and fallen civilization. Only together, in unity, can we become His holy people.
