Passover  Part 14:  The Feast of The Omer and The Resurrection  -  English only. Skeptics may doubt the resurrection of the dead, but belief in the resurrection is a statement of our belief in God!  Recorded April 7, 2022. 

Passover  Part 13:  Satan Attacks at Passover  -  English only. The Enemy of our souls has a pattern of threatening the children of God at Passover. His pattern continues to this day. You and I need to be aware of it!  Recorded April 7, 2022. 

Passover  Part 12:  A Lamb Without Blemish  -  English only.  On the night of the Passover, the final plague fell upon the land of Egypt...the death of the firstborn. How were we protected from this great trial? What guaranteed our safety from death?  A lamb...not just any lamb, but a lamb without blemish.  What would have happened if our lamb did have defects?  This is a rebroadcast of a March 29, 2003 sermon from our archives. 

Passover  Part 11:  Parashat Metzorah/Shabbat HaGadol  Behold, I Send You Eliyahu the Prophet  - English and Spanish.  There is a Jewish tradition to include an extra cup at the Passover Seder for Elijah the prophet.  Is there a biblical basis to include Elijah at Passover?  Is this a custom that followers of Yeshua should consider? The Scriptures provide remarkable support for this enriching tradition!  Recorded on April 10, 2022.

Pascua Parte 11: Parashat Metzorah/Shabbat HaGadol He aquí, te envío a Eliyahu el Profeta - Inglés y Español.  Hay una tradición judía de incluir una copa extra en el Seder de Pésaj para Elías el profeta.  ¿Existe una base bíblica para incluir a Elías en la Pascua?  ¿Es una costumbre que los seguidores de Yeshua deberían considerar? ¡Las Escrituras proporcionan un notable apoyo a esta enriquecedora tradición!  Grabado el 10 de abril de 2022.

Passover Part 10:  Accepting The Bitter Herbs  -  English only.  The Scripture commands us to eat bitter herbs at Passover.  A study of the word 'bitter' in the Bible yields an eye-opening meaning behind this simple act!  This is a rebroadcast of a March 22, 2003 sermon from our archives. 

Passover  Part 9:  Why hold a Passover Seder?  -  English and Spanish.  The Scriptures command us to keep the festival of Passover.  How do we keep that commandment today?  Most people can not travel to Jerusalem.  Even those who do, know there no longer is a temple and no Passover sacrifice. What exactly do we do?  Join us for a study of the Passover Seder and learn how you can honor the Almighty on this special day! Recorded on April 10, 2022.

Pascua Parte 9: ¿Por qué celebrar un Seder de Pascua?  - En español y en inglés.  Las Escrituras nos ordenan celebrar la Fiesta de la Pascua.  ¿Cómo cumplimos ese mandamiento hoy en día?  La mayoría de la gente no puede viajar a Jerusalén.  Incluso los que lo hacen, saben que ya no hay templo ni sacrificio de la Pascua. ¿Qué hacemos exactamente?  Acompáñenos en un estudio del Séder de Pascua y aprenda cómo puede honrar al Todopoderoso en este día tan especial.  Grabado el 10 de abril de 2022.

Passover  Part 8:  Singing The Hallel and Growing in Yeshua  -  English and Spanish.  At the Passover Seder, it is tradition to sing the Hallel, Psalms 113 through 118 plus Psalm  136. Does the scripture give any support to singing Psalms at our Passover celebration? Messianic Jews see Yeshua HaMashiach as the Almighty's Passover lamb who redeemed us from bondage to sin. Does the tradition of singing Psalms detract from our focus on Yeshua HaMashiach? Just the opposite!  The scripture not only gives some unexpected confirmation of the singing of Psalms, but the Bible gives some surprising insight into this custom! Recorded April 9th, 2022.

Pascua Parte 8:  Cantando el Hallel y creciendo en Yeshua - Inglés y Español.  En el Seder de Pascua, es tradición cantar el Hallel, los Salmos 113 a 118 más el Salmo 136. ¿Dan las Escrituras algún apoyo para cantar los Salmos en nuestra celebración de la Pascua? Los judíos mesiánicos ven a Yeshua HaMashiach como el cordero de Pascua del Todopoderoso que nos redimió de la esclavitud del pecado. ¿Acaso la tradición de cantar salmos desvía nuestra atención de Yeshua HaMashiach? Todo lo contrario.  La Escritura no sólo nos da una confirmación inesperada del canto de los Salmos, sino que la Biblia nos da una visión sorprendente de esta costumbre. Grabado el 9 de abril de 2022.

Passover  Part 7:  A Celebration of Life  -  English only.  At Passover, we remember that we were slaves in Egypt.  Yet this feast represents something even more fundamental!  This is a message that we all should hear before we sit down at the Passover seder!  This is a rebroadcast of a March 15, 2003 sermon from our archives.

Passover  Part 5:   Removing Leaven  -  English only.  At Passover, we're commanded to remove all chametz, all leaven, from our homes. Yet we can eat leaven the rest of the year. Why is it forbidden at times but allowed at other times? Perhaps what appears to be an inconsistency, can help us recognize a spiritual principle about what it means to remove the leaven.  This is a rebroadcast of a March 23, 2002 sermon from our archives.

Passover  Part 5: The Red Sea -  English only.  How important was our experience at the Red Sea?  The Almighty brought us out of Egypt by the blood of the Passover lamb.   But...after the Passover, the enemy continued to chase us!  We needed to pass through the Red Sea to experience freedom!  What lesson can followers of Yeshua learn from the Red Sea? This is a rebroadcast of a March 16, 2002 sermon from our archives.
