    Jeremiah 1:1-2:3 and John 1:1-51

    JEREMIAH 1:1-2:3 The calling of Navi Yirimyahu (the Prophet Jeremiah) As we see in the beginning, God says, “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you!” This a great statement, a great truth that flies in the face of abortionists, those who say, “A fetus is not yet human”. If God is saying...

    Bible study portions “Matot v’ Masei” (Tribes and Journeys of) Numbers 30:1-32:42, 33:1-36:13 Yes, this is another long-winded discussion. If you want, read half, then come back to the rest later on. If you're comfortable, read it through in one sitting. There is a lot to cover here. We need...

    A Covenant of Peace for a Zealot! (Numbers 25:1-29:40)

    A king once had two sons. To test them, he asked them that question. The first son said; “Yes, one can change his or her nature.” Yet the second son said; “No, one can never change his or her nature. The king said; “Go out and prove your statement, you have a week.” So, both sons went out and...

    MICAH 5:6-6:8 ”and the remnant of Jacob shall be among many peoples….” thus, begins the Prophet Micah’s message. We can witness this account today. In every nation of this modern world, we see the Jewish people. In almost every large city, there are Jewish neighborhoods, communities...

    Numbers 22:2-25:9 (to bless or to curse?)

    Bible Portion: “Balak” NUMBERS 22:2-25:9 This is the famous story of Bilam, who was asked to “curse” Israel, and instead, “Blessed” Israel, yet before this, his donkey spoke to him.

    Numbers 19:1-22:1; The Cow, The ROCK, and the Serpent (how do they relate to Messiah Jesus?

    Torah Portion "Chukat" (ordinances, decrees) Numbers 19:1-22:1 A decree is a type of commandment which we might not understand. To us, it may not make much sense, but since it is from the LORD, we just do and obey. When we look at ordinances and decrees with a fine comb, we might see...

    Trusting in God's Promises? or fearing the circumstances? (Numbers 13:1-15:41)

    Yes indeed. Children will suffer the sins of their parents. If parents are rough and tough, the kids will usually grow up with similar characters. if parents are abusive, many times, the kids when they grow up, end up abusive to their kids as well (but not all the time)
