Before delving into doctrines I am offering my perspective on the overview of the faith once delivered highlighting the giant philosophical divergences between the original faith and traditional Christianity. Early Christianity was a mess with respect to doctrines and this idea that one was condemned if they disagreed was a foreign concept. The apostles openly disagreed and discussed concepts while remaining brethren. They also did not believe in eternal hellfire for anyone, let alone for those with slight disagreements in doctrine. At the end of this message I explain what the bible actually teaches about the two resurrections and what will happen to sinners and those who have never heard the gospel. Spoiler alert, it's not what you hear in Sunday church.

John Calvin and Martin Luther were completely fine having individuals publicly executed for disagreeing with their doctrines. The "early church fathers" had no problem pronouncing eternal judgment on people who disagreed with their doctrines and also using violence to enforce their beliefs. Those who used violence to enforce doctrine in the first century were exclusively the bad guys so it is of the highest level of irony that once Christianity attained to power, it also resorted to violence. Let us learn the lessons of the past and greet each other with love and patience, allowing for the Holy Spirit to lead us in growth toward Yahweh and His Son.

Baptism is required for salvation. It is the only special thing we have to separate us from the rest of the world's religions, it is commanded, and the Son of God did this as an example for all who will come to believe in Him. This message shows the history of the practice of cleansing spiritual impurities with water from a Hebraic perspective and focuses on the incredible importance of Baptism for salvation of the Christian.

Accept Yeshua as the Messiah, repent of your sins, and get baptized as a symbol of being born again into the family of YHVH aka God. Baptism is something that didn’t quite come out of the blue but took on more meaning as it drew near for the time of Christ. Washing with water to resolve spiritual impurities is something from Torah that then became something that was used to identify the people of God throughout Judea in the two centuries before Yeshua. In the first century, the practice of mikva’ot was remarkably common, then John the Baptist elevates immersion to being for the forgiveness of sins. Yeshua Himself is baptized by John to show us the example, not because of any need, and the Spirit descended on Him like a dove. The Father even said, from heaven, “you are my beloved Son, in You I am well pleased” when He was baptized. This sanctioned baptism and showed us that it is indeed required. Those who crucified the Messiah, guilty of His murder, confessed their sin and were baptized in His Name on the day of Pentecost, further showing us the requirement for this practice. Peter had to be humbled to be shown that baptism was for all whom God will call to Himself, whether from Israel of the nations.

The Sabbath was created on the 7th day of creation, kept by all the apostles and early Christians, and will be kept in the future under penalty of death. YHVH aka God rested on the 7th day of creation as an example for mankind the same way that Yeshua aka Jesus was baptized. God was not tired and did not need rest after creating the world, He rested with Adam as an example. Yeshua was sinless and did not need to be baptized, He did that to be an example as well. The first century believers would never have considered changing the Sabbath or stopping it because that was the principle means they identified as worshipers of the one true God. This has never changed and this message proves from scripture that the Sabbath is not just for Christians and Jews, but for all mankind.

It’s decision time, brothers and sisters, either decide to be a Christian and follow Him fully or don’t.
After accepting Yeshua as the Messiah (Jesus as the Christ) and becoming an adopted child of God, then what? This message addresses what the first century gentiles had to do to change how they were living and become children of God. I then parallel that to today, which is shockingly similar. This message proves that the rituals in mainstream Christianity, the things believers are required to do to be considered believers, are actually from paganism and the same exact religions Paul and the other apostles were sent into the world to counter. It's decision time, brothers and sisters, either decide to be a Christian and follow Him fully or don't. For more messages like this, please visit https://firstcenturychristianity.net/

The Gospel and our Connection to the God of Abraham explains how a person who has no connection to the God of Israel becomes connected through grafting in. This message is essential foundational information for Christianity and explains how our faith is a continuation of the faith of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Israel is the chosen people and this is explained in the message that God chose them as the conduit for Him to communicate His desire and purposes for mankind. Israel is also essential as the Messiah is of the tribe of Judah, and there is no such thing as a messiah without the faith of Abraham. This message explains how God was working with the nations before the first coming of the Messiah through the synagogue system so that the world would be prepared to accept the Gospel.

Addressing the danger with being infatuated with hidden ancient knowledge.

A message about how to study the bible properly complete with techniques for evaluating sources. The ultimate tie in is how to avoid following false gods which is surprisingly associated with many academics.

Explaining your identity in the Messiah and how you are connected to the God of Abraham.

A few memories from our Feast of Tabernacles celebration in Kansas City 2025.

Instructions on how to pick a bible, what to look for, what to avoid, and how to set a good baseline for understanding the Word of God. This video includes shocking information proving the most popular bible in the world was created to purposely deceive, hence the warning that you might be offended by watching this.

Sukkot aka the Feast of Tabernacles is an 8 day celebration in the fall that Christians are not only supposed to be observing today, all mankind must observe it in the future or they will starve. While that sounds harsh, it's quite scriptural. This message is a primer to let Christians know what to expect at Sukkot, it's history in the last 100 years in the United States, and which topics to avoid to have a peaceful gathering.

The Day of Atonement, also known as Yom Kippur, continued to be kept by the Apostles until after the close of scripture. It was expected for all who accepted Yeshua as the Messiah, Jesus as the Christ if you prefer, to keep the fast until His return. This message explains Yom Kippur in a New Testament context complete with some prophetic significance.

The Day of Trumpets prophecies the return of Jesus Christ aka Yeshua the Messiah. The Charlie Kirk memorial fulfills a prophecy that brings us closer to the return. Heres' what to do about it.

Charlie Kirk was assassinated for being a civil rights leader. We are all really bothered by his murder and the increasing violence in society. Many folks, even those who followed Charlie, did not know he kept the biblical sabbath. If his death has moved you to look into Christianity or the biblical Sabbath, please reach out. And our reaction to his murder needs to be one of love, mercy, and understanding for each other.
