The Book of Hebrews: Part 19 | Ralph Finley | 17 June 2017

Moving into chapter 6 of the book of Hebrews, Ralph Finley begins to teach us about the “foundation of our faith in God.” The first element of our foundation is “repentance from dead works.”

“Repentance is the door by which you enter into the Kingdom (of YHWH).” What is the definition of the word ‘repent’?

“Some people want to be free of their torments … but they want to live the same ungodly life that they had before!” How does repentance fit into the picture? Does God require repentance before He intervenes in your situation? Should we pray for repentance? What is “worldly sorrow”?

These burning questions and more are addressed in this vitally important teaching.

The Book of Hebrews: Part 18 | Ralph Finley | 10 June 2017

Continuing in the book of Hebrews, chapter 5, verse 11, Ralph Finley teaches that although we have eyes and ears that physically function, spiritually they don’t. What does “dull of hearing” actually mean?

Are you at the point of spiritual development that you should be? Have you realized your potential in the Body of Messiah?

What’s the difference between a ‘student’ and a ‘disciple’?

Ralph also brings clarity to the passage in Hebrews 6:4 that says “It is impossible for those who were once enlightened…” – helping you to realize the importance of what the writer was trying to bring to your attention.

The Implications of the Identity of the Church in Scripture - Dan Juster

From the land of Israel, Dan Juster – a leader in the organization, Tikkun International – delivers a compelling message regarding the Messianic Jewish movement of today. His exhortation to those who are considered gentiles and are coming into an awareness of the Jewish-ness of their redeemer, Messiah Yeshua, is to remember the “parentage” of the Jewish people to whom were delivered the Oracles of God. With love for their “parent” they should seek to persuade them to faith in the one true Messiah Yeshua. Also, that the Messianic Jewish community should no longer entertain an exclusionary mindset toward the gentiles who are being drawn into a right relationship with Messiah Yeshua by His Holy Spirit, but have respect for the “historic church” (i.e. Protestantism), and embrace creativity in worship of the One True Living Elohim that honors this connection.

The Book of Hebrews - Part 17

Do you understand the meaning of ‘community’ today? What was ‘community’ in the First Century? How do you understand the “Body of Messiah”? Doesn’t it look like a community?

When you read the phrase “dull of hearing”, do you understand what the word ‘dull’ means as it pertains to the original intent in the language of that time? It doesn't mean not shiny or not sharp. Have you lost interest in learning and knowing about the things pertaining to The Way?

Pastor Ralph Finley sheds some light on these subjects as we move forward in the Book of Hebrews.

Yom Haem (Mother’s Day)

Does the Jewish community celebrate and honor their mother’s? Along with a little history about the origins of Mother’s Day, Ralph Finley presents and gives honor to some of the mother’s that are found in the ancient writings of our Bible.

The Book of Hebrews - Part 16

None of us can keep doubt from creeping into our minds, but we can guard our heart from letting that doubt enter there.

What happens if the seed of doubt gets into your heart? What will you do when even your family doesn’t approve of your faith?

If Messiah Yeshua has become the High Priest, isn’t the old priesthood abolished? Why?

Do we even need a High Priest today? Can’t we all just come to God ourselves? Why/why not?

To answer these questions and more, Pastor Ralph Finley begins this teaching in Hebrews 5:5 as the author explains to the readers about how Messiah Yeshua was appointed to the role of High Priest in the order of Melchizedek and what this means to us today.

The Book of Hebrews - Part 15

“Faith is all about how we view God. Unbelief is a judgment that God is neither faithful or true.” Where are you in this world that has a diminishing view of faith and is rapidly descending into a state of unbelief in anything spiritual?

This topic is covered as Pastor Ralph Finley moves us from chapter 4 and into chapter 5 of the Book of Hebrews.

Then we learn about “The High Priest, after the order of Melchizedek” and what priesthood entails. Wasn’t all that done away with? There is no Temple today, no sacrifices to be offered, so what’s all this about priests? How does this affect me today?

What is a mediator? Do we need one today? Why? Don’t we have direct access to God on our own?

The Book of Hebrews - Part 14

Continuing in chapter 4 of the book of Hebrews, Pastor Ralph Finley teaches about the office of the High Priest, what that means to us today and who we now have that fills that office much differently than any that came before.

In this teaching you will learn how the term ‘born again’ relates to something that the prophet Ezekiel said.
