Many of us rely on secondary sources such as Bible dictionaries, commentaries and the religious writings of our various faith traditions for studying and understanding the Bible. But, on balance, do these and other resources do more harm than good? In this episode, Kevin takes a dive into the world of extra-biblical, secondary Bible sources, with some fascinating and mind-boggling results.
Passover is perhaps the most widely observed Jewish holiday, carrying with it thousands of years of history and rich tradition. And yet, most of what is typically observed today in the central ceremony of Pesach—the Passover Seder—isn’t biblical. In this episode, Kevin seeks to elevate the the written word of God by considering the origins of the traditional food elements on the Seder plate, and then offering a scriptural alternative to the traditional Seder.
Of all the millions of books, websites and videos; thousands of Bible teachers of all shapes and theologies; and hundreds of doctrinal statements, commentaries and catechisms, there is only one source with God-given authority to perfectly interpret Scripture. In this episode, Kevin demonstrates the importance of looking first (and often, looking only) to Scripture any time we need to understand Scripture.
Recent research shows that the most popular worldview in the United States is a fake, soft, twisted form of Christianity that has also infected not just the Christian Church, but the Messianic Jewish Movement as well. In this episode, Kevin arms you with the truth by breaking down “Moralistic Therapeutic Deism,” and comparing its false beliefs to what the Scriptures actually say.
Finding answers in the Bible isn’t always as simple as picking up the Book and reading it. Sometimes, we need help finding what we’re looking for. Thankfully, there are resources to help us do just that—while there are others that can contaminate our understanding. Join Kevin in this introduction to Bible study tools, as he shares his unique perspective on how anyone can correctly study the Bible.
The Messiah Yeshua is God in the flesh. But why would God need to enter humanity in this way? Can Yeshua truly be just a man if He is also truly God? Does Yeshua’s equal humanness also hold equal significance for our faith? This episode explores why Yeshua’s humanity is not only crucial for our salvation, but for our daily life as His disciples. This episode is Part 2 of a two part exploration of what the Scriptures say concerning the deity and humanity of Yeshua.
Does the Bible actually claim that Yeshua (Jesus) is God? Or is this just some absurd, unsupported contrivance of Christianity? The biblical fact of Yeshua’s simultaneous, unmingled deity and humanity is more than just a theological sidenote or curiosity—it is at the heart of the message of the Good News. This episode is Part 1 of a two part exploration of what the Scriptures say concerning the deity and humanity of Yeshua.
The Bible claims that Yeshua is the Son of God, but how can the eternal Creator of the universe—the God of Israel—have a son? In this episode, Kevin explains from a Jewish perspective how the Hebrew Scriptures point to Yeshua as the Son of God, how the New Covenant Scriptures expound on that view, and the meaning that’s wrapped up in this most important title of the Messiah.
In an age of ever-increasing isolation and unhealthy independence, even believers in Yeshua are lacking meaningful relationships and true community. Kevin brings an encouraging reminder and exhortation from the Scriptures about how God really wants us to treat one another.
