When I read the crucifixion account this morning, especially after leading a Passover/Maundy Thursday gathering last night, I was struck by this thought when I read in the gospels: "they crucified him."
Did you know Hanukkah is mentioned in the New Testament?!? Tonight is the last night of Hanukkah, so I took just a few quiet moments to read the verse about Hanukkah in the gospel of John, and to give a quick tutorial on the background, miracle & dreidel game of the Feast of Dedication#hanukkah #chanukkah #gospelofjohn #menorah #dreidel #maccabees #messianic #messianicjew #messianicjudaism #yeshua #jesushttps://www.instagram.com/reel/DETmbTzNkxI/?igsh=MWdnOGZmc3g0ejA2Zw==
In this week’s episode, I look at connections between Daniel and Hanukkah - and also the light of Christmas.

I’ve always been captivated by the Magi, for all sorts of reasons. In his gospel, Matthew doesn’t tell us how the magi knew about Israel’s coming Redeemer - or why, as Persians, they would dedicate upwards of two years to greet him. In this week’s vodcast, I give a quick answer (for a deeper look, my advent devotional follows them from their Old Testament roots to their Bethlehem arrival) 🌟🐪🎁

There’s a concept in Frank Lloyd Wright’s architecture that’s given me a visual sense of the Advent season…

There’s just one little thing that changes the word ‘exile’ to ‘redemption,’ and it speaks volumes. In this quick episode, a look at these two Hebrew words brings a vivid - and encouraging - view of the Messiah.
(Plus a photobomb from @i.am.grootiepie , our bulldog😅)

Today is Gad’s birthday! At least it’s the traditional date of when Jacob’s seventh son was born. So here’s just a quick, super casual chat about Gad - the strong & loyal one ⛺️

“Show me your glory!” Exodus 33:18 Moses’ plea has everything to do with the holiness of God. But also Paul/Saul’s words to the Galatians about the fruit of the Spirit. And our interactions with the people in our paths today (in person & virtual). Here are a few of my thoughts on this Challah Day 💛 #moses #showmeyourglory #fruitofthespirit #loveyourneighbor #galatians #galatians5 #exodus #exodus33 #holyspirit #election2024

In this quick episode, I share simply about the literal meaning of the words “Shabbat Shalom,” and about how those definitions can help us rest in a more meaningful way. #rest #shabbat #shabbatshalom #shalom #sabbath #sabbathrest #dayofrest #faith #messianic #messianicjudaism #messianicjew #spiritualformation
“Remembering” has been on my mind a lot. So today I shared a bit about what biblical remembering means, and in particular what it means when it comes to Shabbat, the sabbath. Rest well, friends💟

A snippet from this week’s lesson on Mark 5. God really spoke to my heart in this preparation, especially against the backdrop of all that is happening around us in these days. Jesus is always moving toward people who are suffering✡️✝️

The calling of Matthew, as recounted by Mark, is both incredibly sad and incredibly hopeful. It’s all connected to the name Mark uses for him: Levi. #challah #sabbathrest #levi #matthew #apostlematthew #matthewthetaxcollector #gospel #isolation #redemption #jesus #yeshua #faith #secondchances #hope #prodigal #prodigalson #prodigals #prodigalchild #messianic #messianicjudaism #messianicjew #challahday #podcast
This week, I was reading the account of the paralyzed man being carried to Jesus and lowered through the roof. I share about something that caught my attention for the first time, and the thoughts that flowed about friendship and community - and the best friend of all…

As I prepare for our son's college graduation (#GDTBATH), I reflect on the Psalms of Ascent, and how the psalmists call us to continue moving closer to God, no matter the terrain, the weather or the milestone of life...

Reflecting for a few minutes on Psalm 120 - the first of the Psalms of Ascent - and how we begin our pilgrimage toward Jerusalem’s hill. There's a million things I wish I'd fleshed out more, but I hope it's a launching point for considering these things...

In this weeks vodcast, I talk about God’s desire for us to know Him, based on His promises to Moses before the Exodus rescue… for both the Israelites rescued from Egypt, and for all of humanity, rescued through the Cross.
“Who is Like You, among the heavens? Who is like You, majestic in holiness, awesome in splendor, working wonders?”
