How to Celebrate Purim

Does the Bible Permit Drinking Alcohol?
What does the Bible say about drinking alcohol? We will look at this topic from two angles. First, we will see if there are any commandments concerning the consumption of alcohol. Second, we will see if the Bible offers us any wisdom regarding the consumption of alcohol, whether it is encouraged or discouraged.
Christians and the Dietary Laws: A Response to Dr. Michael Brown
Should Christians observe the dietary laws? I differ with Dr. Michael Brown's answer to this question, so I decided to interact with his arguments.
Making Sense of God's Wrath
In this teaching on the Torah Portion Bo, we look at how God wants us to know about His wrath and remember how He “dealt harshly with the Egyptians.” How do we make sense of a loving God’s wrath?
Why Then the Law? (Galatians 3:19-29)
"Why then the Law"? In other words, what was the purpose of the Law, the Torah? Paul answers that question in Galatians 3:19-29. Many have said this passage teaches that the Law was added temporarily and is now removed in light of Christ. But scholars have recently challenged that interpretation.
Tithing: Is it for Today?
What is tithing according to the Bible? Why did God command his people to tithe in the Torah? Can the tithing laws even apply to believers today?

Why Hanukkah Matters
David Wilber speaks on why Hanukkah matters to us as Christians. Why do we celebrate this so-called “minor” Jewish holiday? How do the themes of this holiday inspire us to live boldly for Messiah today?
How to Celebrate Hanukkah
Hanukkah, also known as the Feast of Dedication or the Festival of Lights, is a holiday commemorating the rededication of the second Temple. It is a celebration of faith and uncompromising commitment to God’s Word as we remember the Maccabean revolt. How do we celebrate this amazing eight-day feast?

The Son of Man in the Book of Enoch
Some confusion surrounds the Messiah figure of 1 Enoch, particularly in 1 Enoch 71:14 when this figure's identity is revealed. This teaching argues in favor of the plain reading of 1 Enoch 71:14 that identifies the patriarch Enoch as this figure.
Zach Bauer is wrong about 1 Enoch 71:14 and the "Son of Man"
In defense of his view that the Book of Enoch is "inspired Scripture," Zach Bauer claims that the patriarch Enoch is NOT identified as the Son of Man in 1 Enoch 71:14. He says that among "scholars worldwide," nobody says that the Book of Enoch identifies Enoch as a Messiah figure. In this video, I show how Zach's claim is demonstrably false and that scholars who study the Book of Enoch DO say precisely that.
Coward or Conqueror? (Revelation 21:1-8)
Revelation 21:1-8 describes the New Jerusalem, where God dwells with his people, and there is no more death, mourning, crying, or pain. It’s a glorious promise of the world to come, but the passage says only “the one who conquers” will receive this heritage. Cowards will not. What must one do to be a conqueror?

Doing Justice: The Gospel vs. Critical Theory
I’ve been researching Critical Theory, which fuels the ideology of many modern "social justice" movements (e.g., BLM), and I've found that it is anti-Gospel mind poison. The Gospel is all about reconciliation, healing, and justice; Critical Theory is divisive by design and results in only hate, violence, and injustice.
Excluded From the Assembly? (Deuteronomy 23:1-8)
Deuteronomy 23:1-8 states that some people are to be excluded from “the assembly of YHWH” for reasons beyond their control. How do we understand this difficult passage and reconcile it with other passages that clearly welcome these very people into the believing community of Israel?
