Now we come to Chapter 11, which is one of the most ignored chapters, if you ask me, by traditional Christian teachings. If you prefer to watch a video, click on this link: Watch the video. The main theme of this chapter is that even though God cut off from
This is one of Shaul’s shorter letters and was written from both Shaul and Timothy while Shaul was in Rome, awaiting trial after having appealed to the emperor to avoid being killed in ambush while being transported back to Jerusalem (Acts 23). If you prefer to watch a video, click
This is the first of two letters written by Shaul addressing problems that the community of believers was having in the town of Corinth. Those problems included interpersonal relationship issues, pridefulness with regard to which apostle they thought they should listen to, and sexual perversity within the congregation. It appears
This is one of the Epistles that many modern-day scholars believe was not written by Shaul. If you prefer to watch a video, click on this link: Watch the video. It was written around 62 A.D., which is the time when Shaul was imprisoned in Rome (although it was more
This is one of the earlier letters written by Shaul, which he wrote to the Gentile Believers who lived in the Roman province of Galatia, located in a central part of (what is today) Turkey. This was written around 48 AD. If you prefer to watch a video, click on
The Epistles are the letters found in the New Covenant that were written by the Jewish Apostles to the communities of believers in Yeshua, the Messiah. Most were written to Gentile converts to this new sect of Judaism, called “The Way” (much later redesignated as Christianity), as well as the
I think we all know which commandments Yeshua said are the most important, right? Isn’t it from Matthew 22:37-40? Well, if that is so, then why does he give a totally different set of commandments in three separate gospels when asked what does someone have to do to be saved?

In the Gospels, Yeshua (Jesus) tells us that when we pray in his name, that which we ask for we will receive. But if we have accepted Yeshua as our Messiah, wouldn’t God already know that? Why do we have to speak it? If you prefer to watch a video,
The Book of Kohelet has often been misunderstood, and I suppose that’s because it starts off telling us that everything is pointless, and that all our efforts are no more useful than chasing the wind. Okay, I get it- someone isn’t happy with how things they have done has turned
Whoa!! Stop the music! How can Satan rule the earth when we all know that God rules the universe? Because the Bible says he does. If you prefer to watch a video, click on this link: Watch the video. Haven’t you ever heard of Chain of Command? When I was
Did you know that I wrote an entire book on Prayer? (here’s a link to it: Prayer) And yet, I still wonder if I am doing it in a way that honors God, is respectful to him, and appreciative that he listens. I think I pray correctly, but just in
I think we all understand what this title means, so why am I talking about it in a message regarding our relationship with God? Maybe it’s because so many people misplace the credit they give? If you prefer to watch a video, click on this link: Watch the video. I
Do you know that there is not one place, anywhere, in the entire Tanakh where the Messiah is referred to as either “The Lamb of God” or “The Passover Lamb”? Do you know that the Passover lamb is not a sin sacrifice? If you prefer to watch a video, click
What is your name? Mine is Steven. The reason I have this name is to identify myself as a unique individual within the society. And, since there are many other “Stevens”, I also have a middle and last name to help further separate me from all the other human males.
I am just back from 3 days in the hospital for back surgery, and am not allowed to shower until this afternoon, so I am not doing a video today because I look really scrubby. If you ask me, one of the most misunderstood things in the New Covenant are
I haven’t been very dutiful in my posting the last couple of weeks, and I probably won’t post again for another week or two. I am getting surgery on my back to fuse my L5 vertebrae to L4 since the L5 is shifting. I have been dealing (painfully) with sciatica
We refer to God as our Father in heaven, right? So, today when I ask who your Daddy is, I am referring to the one in heaven. If you prefer to watch a video, click on this link: Watch the video. God, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the
I received an email the other day from someone who wanted to help me sell my books. They “invited” me to do an interview that would be run on YouTube, as well as multiple ads in different media outlets. It wasn’t much of an invitation because they wanted me to
