No matter how this year's presidential election turns out, there will still be grave concern for the future of our country. Many of us still believe that elections can save our country—can save us—and set things right. But according to the word of God, even while we participate in the electoral process, it is a fool’s errand to look for salvation f…

The knowledge and reality of Yeshua’s sacrifice fills and touches us in our inmost being, producing thoughts and feelings of appreciation, gratitude, thankfulness, passion, and profound, overflowing joy. This is the Jesus that most believers know and are more than happy to follow. But while all this is true, the problem is that far too many believe…

The mystery of Yeshua's divine dynamics as both fully God and fully man defies language and thought. Yet rather than be content to live with Scripture's unresolved tension of it, Christian theology has rationalized extrabiblical explanations—one of which is the concept of preincarnation. In this episode, Kevin searches the Old Testament for preinca…

The Trinity is arguably the singular foundational doctrine of historical Christianity. The teaching of a triune godhead—of one God in three persons: the Father, Son and Holy Spirit—is at the center of the Christian creeds, and is universally accepted across denominational lines. But is it true that the God of Israel—whom Moses says is “One”—is, act…

They say “a little knowledge is a dangerous thing,” and nowhere is this more true than when it comes to using Bible study tools. While a seminary degree is hardly necessary to qualify someone to handle the Scriptures, one still needs to understand Bible tool basics in order to properly use them. In today's episode, Kevin demonstrates three major mi…

Why is traditional, Rabbinic Judaism so deeply embedded in the culture and expression of the typical Messianic Jewish synagogue service and community? Why have Messianics adopted Judaism in this way? Does it actually make us better disciples of Messiah? In what way does Judaism really support and reinforce the Jewishness of a Messianic Jew? In this…
  continue reading
 
Yeshua gave us one main job: to make disciples. So why do so many Christians and Messiah-believers today look and act just like the world? Why don't they more closely resemble Yeshua? Why hasn't the generational passing down of doctrines and traditions been enough? In this episode, Kevin explains why the Body of Messiah has failed to make true disc…

It might come as a surprise, but most Jewish people actually know very little about the Bible. Today's Jewish people have grown increasingly secular and humanistic, with no standard frame of reference where it comes to spiritual or religious topics. But despite the vast differences in beliefs among Jews, one thing you can almost always count on is …

Could God be pruning the Body of Messiah? Would the Father ever separate believers from the vine of Yeshua? If so, why? Is the shrinking Body of Messiah evidence that God is at work? In this episode, Kevin digs into Yeshua's words about pruning and bearing fruit, and then offers an encouragement to today's struggling and shrinking Body of believers…

God hates divorce, and the Bible has nothing even close to good to say about it. So why is no-fault divorce rampant in the Body of Messiah today? Why do believers allow their marriages to be torn apart by it? In this episode, Kevin lays out and explains what the Scriptures actually say about divorce and remarriage, then offers some biblically-based…

Many Messianic believers, rather than call the Messiah "Jesus," call Him by His Hebrew name "Yeshua." But some Messianics instead call Him something different, such as "Yahshua" or "Yahushua," incorporating the Sacred Name of God, יהוה. Why do they pronounce it like this, and can we know definitively which way is correct? In this episode, Kevin dig…
  continue reading
 
The pronunciation of the Sacred Name of God—the Tetragrammaton, "Yahweh"—has been obscured in the Hebrew text of the Bible. Yet some say that not only can the Name be restored, it must be, because pronouncing it is necessary for salvation. In this episode, Kevin discusses this view of the Sacred Name and analyzes the Hebrew to determine if the corr…

The Bible often plainly communicates how God expects us to think and act. But what if the Scriptures don’t speak directly to a specific thing we’re dealing with, or if they appear to be silent about a particular topic altogether? In this episode, Kevin demonstrates how to discern and apply biblical patterns and unwritten principles that God has imp…

If you thought biblical belief in the Body of Messiah today was slowly declining, you'd be mistaken—it's nearly extinct, and it's happening fast. In this episode, Kevin looks at recent research that exposes the almost non-existent biblical worldview in America, and then offers a way forward for the faithful few who remain.

The "church" of God—Yeshua's "Called-Forth"—was never meant to be based on form or structure, but on us: the people. In the Scriptures, we've been given a biblical pattern that reveals how we are supposed to work and function together as the Body of Messiah, and it looks nothing like "church" (or "Messianic synagogue") as usual. In this episode, Ke…

Communion is one of the main sacramental rites of Christianity, holding a deeply personal, spiritual significance for millions of believers worldwide for generations. But is the ordinance of communion (or the eucharist) actually in the Bible? Did Jesus really institute a communion ceremony during His last supper? In this episode, Kevin challenges t…

Ask most believers about the purpose of church, and they'll say it's for praise, worship and the teaching of God's word. But what if the Scriptures say no such thing? What if our ideas for why the church even exists has been completely and hopelessly wrong? In this episode, Kevin reveals the true, biblical purpose of "church"—what the Bible depicts…
  continue reading
 
One of the most important books of the New Testament is, sadly, also one of the most overlooked: the book of James. Hidden all the way near the back in most Bible versions, James doesn’t tend to be a favorite. Maybe people just don’t find him inspirational enough. Maybe they don’t make it that far in their Bible reading. But when we overlook James,…

Most active Christians and Messianics make it a priority to attend at least one Saturday or Sunday worship service. But should that weekly meeting really be our goal? Does participating in a once-a-week worship service truly reflect the Bible’s example for when we should gather ourselves together? In this episode, Kevin looks at what the Scriptures…
  continue reading
 
When most people think of "church," they envision a building, an assembly hall, or some other kind of physical structure. But what if what that church building not only isn't "church," but isn't actually prescribed anywhere in the Bible? What if the biblical concept of church is far more simple and natural than that? In this episode, Kevin compares…

In the previous episode, Kevin extensively examined the Scriptures to determine if Christians or Messianic Gentiles become part of Israel through Yeshua. In this follow-up teaching, Kevin covers additional material and answers objections based on related topics, including the "Israel of God" and "not all who are of Israel are Israel." WATCH ON YOUT…
  continue reading
 
Christians and Messianic Gentiles are, by faith, sons of God, sons of Abraham, heirs of the promise, grafted-in and much more—but does that make them part of Israel? Are they "spiritual Israel?" Do they expand or enlarge Israel? Are Gentile believers now Israel? In this episode, Kevin extensively examines the one new man of Ephesians 2, the olive t…

The true "church" is not the buildings, but the people. And yet, the living organism of Yeshua's Body that is described in the Bible—of which we as believers are its members—has been replaced over time by complex organization and institutional structure. In this episode, Kevin takes us on a Scriptural survey that reveals the true functioning of the…

What determines whether someone is Jewish? Is it strictly ethnic lineage, or is there something else? Is someone a Jew only if they have Jewish parents or grandparents? What if you have distant Jewish heritage? Can you gain or lose your identity as a Jew through conversion? Are Christians spiritual Jews? In this episode, Kevin addresses the confusi…

Almost every believer in Yeshua (Jesus) knows that we are "the church"—the Body of Messiah. Yet in practice, barely any of us see ourselves this way outside the context of worship services and congregational buildings. In this episode, Kevin makes the biblical description of our identity as "the church" clearer and more prominent in our minds—so th…

What does the Bible say about a pre-tribuation rapture, and what effect does the rapture have on the timing of the salvation of Israel? In this episode, Kevin explores the biblical teachings about the rapture, the great tribulation, the Day of the Lord, and where Messianic Jews fit in a biblical understanding of the sequence of end-time events and …
  continue reading
 
In most people’s minds, “church” is a physical place, and "going to church" means traveling to that special congregational building, at a special time, in order to attend and participate in worship services. But is this really what the Scriptures say is the true nature of “church”? What if the way we typically think of "church" is actually complete…

When believers in Yeshua first come in to a Messianic or Hebraic understanding of the faith, it can be an exciting and spiritually invigorating time. But as you begin to navigate this new, unfamiliar territory, it can also be confusing. Is this a Jewish faith? Is it Christian? Is it somewhere in the middle? And despite having moved on from one bran…

In today's divided, biblically confused Body of Messiah, it's hard to know who truly shares the faith of the Scriptures. What, then, are the minimum beliefs that should allow basic fellowship with other believers, and identify each of us as having an essential, biblical faith? In this episode, Kevin explores the 6 non-negotiables that form the foun…

It has been an issue in modern Messianic Jewish congregations basically since the beginning: many Gentile congregants have felt like second-class citizens in part because they've heard the often-repeated refrain, "to the Jew first." In this episode, Kevin looks at the Scriptures to determine if this possible doctrine of favoritism has any basis in …

For a full week every year, beginning at Passover, God commands Israel to eat only food made without leaven (matzah) as a reminder of how God brought freedom to Israel and rescued them from their slavery in Egypt forever. In this episode, Kevin helps you to inwardly prepare yourself for the Passover season with a powerful insight into the matzah th…

As Messianic Jews, what should our attitude be toward Jewish tradition? According to some, Paul tells us that we should keep the traditions of Judaism, just as long as they don't contradict or violate Scripture. But is such an assertion really true? In this episode, Kevin closely examines the teachings of Paul and Yeshua for a Scriptural view of tr…

Each one of us believes that we know what’s true—what’s right and good. But without a sole, objective standard to guide and enlighten us, then what’s really true will be nearly impossible to find—namely, the absolute truth of the word of God. In this final part of a 3-part series, Kevin exhorts all true followers of Yeshua to admit the Bible's suff…

When we seek out and listen to other voices of influence to provide us guidance about how to live our lives as believers in Yeshua, were saying that God’s own words aren’t enough—that every Scripture that was breathed onto the page by God Himself is insufficient. In this second part of a 3-part series, Kevin reveals the hostile influences which you…

What happens when we fail to fix our eyes on the standard of God's word? What makes the Bible such a supreme and perfect standard? What does it mean to bear the standard of Scripture? In this first part of a 3-part series based on Kevin's must-read book, Kevin explains what Yeshua taught us about bearing the standard of Scripture, and how it affect…

Many Jewish and Gentile Messianics are drawn to Chanukah in large part because of how they see Chanukah fulfilled in Yeshua. But what if injecting Jesus into a Jewish holiday isn’t the point? What if the real point of Chanukah isn’t about miracles, latkes and lights, but something far more powerful and fundamental to our faith? In this episode, Kev…

Kevin gives his top ten principles for sound Bible interpretation in this crash course on how to correctly understand the Bible. He reviews each principle, describes the situation in which that principle should be applied, and then explains why that principle is necessary for the right understanding of Scripture. An excellent resource for anyone wh…

The Bible clearly teaches, "Believe in the Master Yeshua, and you will be saved." But what if the Bible also says that being a believer doesn't just mean believing? That despite that belief, you might not actually be saved and receive eternal life? In this episode, Kevin scripturally exhorts us not toward a works-based faith, but toward a belief th…

The Messianic Jewish Literal Translation of the New Covenant Scriptures (MJLT NCS) is not just an important Messianic Bible translation that restores its Jewishness. It's also an objectively excellent, reliable version that uniquely presents and preserves the word of God. In this episode, Kevin picks his five favorite features of the MJLT and expla…

Unbiblical ideas can be found everywhere—even in sermons, Bible studies with your friends, or discussing the Scriptures online.

Why is there so much disagreement among denominations and believers about what the Bible says? Because even some of the most well-known teachers and established doctrines rely upon inconsistent, faulty methods of Bible interpretation. In this episode, Kevin looks at some of the absolute worst ways to interpret the Bible that guarantee a wrong answe…

Rosh Hashanah—the Jewish New Year, the Feast of Trumpets. It's the second-biggest holiday in Judaism, kicking off the high holy day season. Yet sadly, the beautiful and profound traditions of Rosh Hashanah are not found in the Bible. In today's episode, Kevin takes a Scriptural look at this important day to explain what Judaism gets wrong, the true…

Both Jews and Christians agree: a Jew who believes in Jesus (Yeshua) is now a Christian. So what reason could there possibly be for a Jewish follower of Yeshua *not* to want to be called a “Christian?” Is he just being disingenuous? Maybe he’s denying his faith. In this episode, Kevin explains both from the Scriptures and his personal experience, h…

The Bible is a spiritual book, taught to us by the Holy Spirit. So isn’t it contradictory—maybe even blasphemous—to use logic and reason to understand it? In this episode, Kevin explores the Scriptures to determine if or how logic and reason are opposed to the Spirit, and how they might all work together to help us comprehend the truth of the Scrip…

Would it concern you to know that your pastor or rabbi or congregational leader holds heretical beliefs? Well, a few of them actually admitted to Kevin that they did in the 2020 Messianic Leaders Survey he conducted through MJMI. In this episode, Kevin explains some of responses and trends in theologial beliefs among Messianic congregational leader…

If God is one—undivided—and the Scriptures are the written word of God, then why do we think that there can be more than one legitimate interpretation of the Bible? We apparently believe this to be so, since we allow ourselves to disagree with one another about what the Scriptures say. In this episode, Kevin challenges the concepts of denominations…

The Scriptures make it abundantly clear that Yeshua is coming again—returning in triumphant glory! But is His soon return really as imminent as many would like to believe? Is it true that right now, especially at this increasingly chilling time in modern history, that Yeshua could return at any moment? But what if the Bible says that there's someth…
