Yes, the Sabbath is a Commandment for Christians

Does the New Testament really teach that the Sabbath is for all mankind? In this video, we look at Yeshua’s words in Mark 2:27 — “The Sabbath was made for man” — and examine the meaning of the Greek word anthropos, showing that the Sabbath was made for mankind, not just for one group of people. We also connect this teaching back to creation in Genesis 1 and show how the Sabbath has always been part of Yahweh’s design: at creation, in the first century, today, and when Messiah returns. If you’ve been told the Sabbath commandment is not repeated in the New Testament, this message challenges that claim directly. Please like, share, subscribe, and leave your comments below. Shalom.

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.
