The EVERYTHING in His Name
God’s name, YHVH, is the first, foremost, and perfect illustration of a most basic yet extremely important aspect of the Hebrew mindset: function is far more important than form. In Hebrew understanding, everyday actions of faith are more important than words of faith. Lifestyle is more important than religious rituals. Character is more important than…
My God Has a Name
These days it is becoming increasingly important for us as followers of Yeshua to be truly clear about the God that we love and serve…even down to his very name. With the rise of Islam and other religions across the globe, there are many attempts underway to blend the faiths and make equal their deities. …
Should I Embrace the Weekly Readings?
One of the ancient synagogue practices is to lead the local community through the reading of the Torah each year. This practice continues today. The Five Books of Moses (Genesis – Deuteronomy) are the books of the Torah and are divided into weekly portions. Each week the assigned portion is read aloud during the Shabbat…
So You Wanna Go Back to Egypt
What does it mean to you when you wanna go back to Egypt? I know what it means to me. It means going back to the familiar – going back to what I know well and am comfortable with. My Egypt mentality and lifestyle may not be good for me. It may violate what Father…
Is it Too Late to Return?
2020 has unquestionably become a year of challenges unlike anything we have known in quite some time. Back in January so many God-honoring persons were declaring this a year of 20/20 vision, proclaiming that we would be able to see ourselves and the King of the Universe more clearly than ever before. Boy were they…
The Beauty and Significance of Shavu’ot
As I read last Shabbat’s Parashah (Scripture portions to be read in synagogue/congregation as a community), my focus was captivated by the portion from the Nevi’im (Prophets). The reading was Hosea 1:1- 2:25 (Complete Jewish Bible). Hosea captures the heart of Shavu’ot so beautifully as ADONAI [YHVH] gives us the very essence of our celebration…
Preparing Our Hearts for Shavu’ot, Part II
Last week we considered the interesting connections between the first Shavu’ot (Pentecost) at Mt. Sinai and the second Shavu’ot found in Acts 2. Both involved a gift from our King: His spoken Instructions and Principles recorded on stone by His own finger at Mt Sinai (the Torah) and those same Instructions and Principles now written…
Preparing Our Hearts for Pentecost
This Shabbat marks Day 37 of the Counting of the Omer – the count up from Pesach (Passover) to Shavu’ot (Pentecost). We have come a long way in our journey from Egypt to Mt Sinai during this Season of our Deliverance. In this year of pandemic, we feel like we are indeed going through the…

Will the Real Jesus Please Step Forward
I have committed myself to a bold lifelong pursuit. This pursuit is not really that different than the one I have held to most of my life. As a child, I fell in love with Jesus and gave my life wholeheartedly to Him at age 11. Like many who grow up in the faith, life…
