The Sabbath: Creation’s Sign for All Mankind

The Sabbath: Creation’s Sign for All Mankind

This sermon teaches that the seventh-day Sabbath is rooted in creation, established by God as a continuing sign for all mankind, and preserved through the biblical weekly cycle from Genesis to the future restoration described in Isaiah. It contrasts biblical Sabbath observance with man-made religious traditions, emphasizing that faith is shown through obedience, holy time, fellowship, rest, and living according to the Creator’s instructions.

Faith, Emotion, and Doctrine: Don’t Be Shaken

In this video, I reflect on the balance between emotion and truth in the life of a believer in Messiah. Drawing from observations about Christian and Jewish-based scholars, I talk about how emotionally driven faith can become unstable when challenged, while identity-rooted conviction tends to remain steady. My encouragement is simple: let emotion and logic work together in your faith, and do not let doctrinal disputes or historical debates shake your identity as a child of God. May Yahweh bless you and keep you in the name of His Son, Yeshua.

When Faith Hurts: Good Works, Betrayal, and the Love of God

This sermon explores John 3:16–18 and the tension between faith, emotion, and obedience. It reflects on how believers often approach faith through doctrine and problem-solving, yet still face deep pain when betrayed by family, friends, or the world around them. Drawing from Genesis, Isaiah 53, Matthew 5, and the crucifixion of Yeshua, the message emphasizes that good works matter, our actions affect others, and emotional suffering is part of the human experience. Even in heartache, God’s love, salvation, and purpose remain sure. The call is to be angry and do not sin, to let our light shine through good works, and to trust that God can bring good out of even the deepest wounds.

Lunar Sabbath Keeping is Beyond Ridiculous

The Sabbath is sundown Friday to sundown Saturday and has been since creation. The Sabbath is the 7th day of the week and is not tied to moons or months. This is super easy to understand and sometimes doctrines need to be dismissed out of hand.

Are Mormons Christians? A Biblical Case for Humility and Mercy

In this video, I respond to the recent controversy over the Department of Defense leaving the LDS Church off its list of Christian denominations. I explain why I believe members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints should be recognized as Christians in the broad sense of believing in Jesus as the Messiah, His sinless life, His sacrificial death, and His resurrection. I also make the case that too many believers approach doctrine with pride instead of humility. Drawing from passages like 1 John 5:11–12 and Matthew 7:1–2, this message is a reminder that none of us sees perfectly, and that judgment belongs to God. Even where we strongly disagree on doctrine, we should be careful not to condemn those who confess the Son. This is a call to study deeply, walk humbly, and extend the same mercy we hope to receive.
