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 that moves us to be more than just a “believer.” This is a message that every believer needs to take to heart.
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 explains how they each contribute to making it such a solid Bible version and set it apart from other versions of the Bible.
Unbiblical ideas can be found everywhere—even in sermons, Bible studies with your friends, or discussing the Scriptures online. In this episode, Kevin gives you five simple strategies to help you stand up for the truth of God’s word, and to answer unbiblical beliefs you might hear from your fellow believers.
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 answer every time. Learn how to recognize and avoid these bad interpretation methods.
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 meaning of the appointed time, and how the traditions have influenced the theology of Messianic believers.
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, how Jews can legitimately believe in and give their lives to Yeshua, yet also retain their biblically Jewish identity—and why the whole world depends on it.
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 Scriptures.
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 leaders, and how they reveal both good and bad news for the American Messianic Jewish Movement.
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 and doctrinal divisions, and exhorts us all in the only biblically correct way to interpret the Bible.
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 something else which needs to happen first?
