Solomon – A Living Sacrifice

When you consider Paul's appeal for us to be living sacrifices, you immediately think of Solomon, right? No? Well, you will after listening to this teaching about Solomon's dedication of the Temple.

Psalm 10

Matot

Psalm 9

How many ways can you say 'eternity'? We discover several ways - or approximations, anyway - in Psalm 9, which is a song of thanksgiving. This is also our first acrostic psalm (whose verses follow the order of the Hebrew alphabet) - well, halfway through the alphabet, that is. The last half of the alphabet picks up in Psalm 10. (But that's another story.) This amazing psalm is full of twists and turns as it describes how God will deal with the nations of the world in days to come.

Where We Go to See God

Is it possible to 'see' God? The answer is a little tricky since there are different ways of seeing. But God very much wants us to see Him, and He has provided a means by which we can do just that. In this lesson, we will learn where we can go if we truly want to see God.

A Thread of Hope

Many biblical Hebrew words have this amazing feature - they can have two (or more) meanings that seem to be completely unrelated. But (and this is the truly amazing part), they always do have some beautiful spiritual relationship. This episode of The Hebrew key takes a look at just such a word.

“Baptism”

Balak

Psalm 8

This psalm is the natural follow up to Psalm 7. There, David had really been through the mill (or should I say "press"?), but here he gives voice to the wonderful things that were the outcome of his testings through pressure.

“Christ”

Chukat

Sons From Stones

Hebrew Key #6 - "Sons From Stones" Yeshua said that God could use stones to raise up sons for Abraham. There is a brilliant play on words going on here that reveals itself only in the Hebrew. And while we're on the subject of stones, let's address the question of why Yeshua is called a "stone of stumbling and a rock of offense".

Psalm 7

A Psalm for Deliverance From Confusion David is very confused. He may have done something wrong, but he isn't sure. If he did do something wrong, what was it? And if he didn't do something wrong, then why does he feel so guilty? Does this sound familiar to you in your own life - in the midst of your own confusion? This is one of the most difficult psalms to make sense of, but it is well worth the effort. As we work through David's confusion together, you may find that you have also worked through your own!

“Christian”

A False Wilderness

Hebrew words are funny things. They seem to have a life of their own sometimes. (Maybe this is one reason we are told "the Word of God is living and active"?) Let's take a look at how one Hebrew word - מדבר (midbar) - through Jewish eyes and see how it can spark an insight that defies translation.

“Salvation” (Part 2)

“Salvation” (Part 1)

Psalm 6

A Psalm for the Sick and Depressed We've all been there. You are sad, or ill, or both, and the whole world looks gloomy and you feel like everyone is against you. David felt the exact same way, at times. How is a person supposed to pray under such a burden of emotions? In this study we will see a subtle way in which David appealed to God as a child to its mother. We will also learn one the Bible's most important words - chesed (חסד).

Tamar & Her Coat of Many Colors

Tamar & Her Coat of Many Colors Yes, you read that right. Of course you have heard of Joseph's colorful coat, but did you know that there is another person in the Bible who wore one? There are some amazing connections and insights that emerge when we take Joseph's and Tamar's stories and analyze them together.

Shema!

When Yeshua was asked what was the greatest commandment, He answered, "Shema, Israel, Adonai is our God! Adonai is one!" (Mark 12:29) But do we really know what the word 'shema' really means? Does it only mean to "hear"? Or does it mean something more. This short lesson will open up new insights into your understanding of this foremost commandment.
