Part 3 - Judgment Is Coming

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE.
In this segment titled, "Waiting Out The Floodwaters", we get into the real heart of the message. Using the timeline of Noah's riding out the waves of judgment, we'll establish that the time of judgment that is before us may be a time of silence, obedience and absolute trust.
In this episode we ask a tough question: What if Yahweh is silent towards His People when an hour of judgment comes to the earth?
Are we ready to endure a season where all that we have is our holding on to Yahweh's promises? Let's find out!

Part 2 - Judgment Is Coming

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE.
In the second installment of the first section "Endure or Escape?" we continue to look at the simple fact that one does not prepare for what he does not expect to be a part of. Righteous men of the Bible were found doing something - righteous deeds - works.
As is the case with Noah who "acted in accordance with everything that Yahweh had commanded him." Would Noah's faith alone have brought about his deliverance or was it necessary for him to literally prepare in order to endure the judgment that was coming to the earth?
So what about us? Are we set to endure or to escape?

Part 1 - Judgment Is Coming

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE.
The series gets underway reading several Texts that clearly state that a time of judgment is coming. We'll present that the greatest issue of humanity, in the Days of Noah, was not so much about what they *were* doing but rather what they were *not.*
We will also ask, "according to biblical texts alone, who were the ones taken and who were the ones that remained?"

A Marked People Who Cry Out & Groan

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE.
* This was recorded the morning of August 29.
In this episode I share how I feel that we are entering a season of great judgment. Judgment that will go forth, beginning in Yahweh's sanctuary.
Therefore, we have two options - assume that judgment will only fall on others (that we'd say are "deserving") and go about our business, or we realize that it involves (and affects) all of us who claim to be in the Body of Messiah and we prepare our hearts now.
Primary text is Ezekiel chapter 9, and seven other biblical references regarding light vs. hidden sin/darkness/secrecy. Are you one that will be found crying out when you see what is going on within Yahweh's People? Let's find out!

When What SEEMS Best Opposes Yahweh’s Will

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE.
While reading the end of Luke chapter 22, we see the zealous disciples of Yeshua take action that SEEMS right, but actually goes AGAINST the will of the Father.
Often, in our zeal and willingness to do what we think is necessary, we too can be found opposing what Father is allowing to take place, for His purposes. Let's talk about this and see how we're doing!
In this episode I mention a blog piece that I wrote, back in 2017, from this same text. Here is the link: https://desh412.blogspot.com/2017/12/put-your-knife-back-in-its-sheath.html

How the Gospel is Not Like Selling Used Cars

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE.
We have to be careful that we don't approach sharing the Gospel in a coercive, manipulative way that convinces the hearer that everything in their life will become perfect.
How we understand and receive the Gospel greatly affects the Gospel that we share.

Part of the Journey

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE.
As we peer back upon experiences in our lives, what do we do when some of them were simply not sourced in our Father? Do we throw it all out? Or do we sift through it all and allow what *was* from Him to remain?
All that we go through is merely part of the journey!

Hearts Toward the Father

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE.
We are told in the Word that Yahweh's eyes are seeking the Earth, to and fro, looking for who's hearts are towards Him.
Let's make sure that's us today!

What It Means To ”Keep” the Torah: Was ”Keeping a Command” a Result of Sin? (Part 5/Conclusion)

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE.
Did Yahweh enstate His commands because man was somehow being punished for their rebellion? Scripturally, was it a burden that no man can ever "keep?" We will end by reading a dozen Scriptures to sum up what it properly means to treasure, guard and forever preserve Yahweh's wonderful Torah.
Do you know this? Let's find out!

What It Means To ”Keep” the Torah: A Deeper Dive Into Some Hebrew Words (Part 4)

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE.
In Part 4 of 5, we'll continue to discuss the complexities of "shamar" (keep) and move into "yaw-nakh" (place in rest), that appears in Genesis chapter 2. I will do my best to use the events surrounding the Garden of Eden account to reveal a deep truth about what happens when mankind does not "shamar/keep" what he is supposed to.
This just may be something that you have not heard before. Let's find out!
