If therefore you shall offer your sacrifice at the altar, and there you should remember that your brother has something against you, leave your sacrifice there before the altar, and go away.

Yehoshua gathers all the tribes there at the end of his life to reinstate the Sinai Covenant. Through him, YHVH recounts His faithfulness in verse 2-23:…

Ephesians 4
In Chapter 3, it is revealed that the mystery that was hidden in former generations is now made known in Messiah Yeshua through the Ruach– namely, that the nations are not secondary participants, but are brought fully into the covenant reality as co-heirs, a joint body, and co-partakers of the one promise. In Chapter 4, Paul…

Exposing The Problem Framework
Shalom family- As we continue in this ministry and further expose others to truth, we find the enemy attacking us more and more. This is to be expected. People throw what I refer to as “spiritual slogans” at us constantly; soundbites that seem like wisdom or correction, yet fall apart when questioned: These can be…

In chapter 6 he begins by extending that same order into parent–child and servant–master relationships, emphasizing obedience, honor, and responsible authority. He then transitions…
