Join Zac and Nate this week as they, with the help of Dr. Lindsey, take a look at the Hebrew meaning of Peter's confession in Matthew 16. Flesh and blood definitely did not reveal this good news to Peter, it had to be God.

Jesus Rejects Pharisaic Judaism Jul 29, 2021

Show notes

Join Zac and Nate this week as they take a look at the reason for the Pharisees rejection of Yeshua, Jesus of Nazareth, the Origin of the Oral Law, what it is, its parallel to the western Church today, and how God is asking all of us to partake of the new wine, the new cloth, the person and life of Jesus personally for ourselves and not ride the coattails of another's faith.

The Scarlet Cord Jul 23, 2021

Show notes

Join Zac and Nate this week as they break down the significance of the scarlet cord in scripture. From the curtains in the tabernacle, to the ephod of the high priest, to the Rahab and the spies, to the cross, we see a beautiful theme of life, preservation from the wrath of God and Yeshua our salvation.

There are so many gems uncovered in this weeks episode as we continue to unearth the Jesus of history. Give it a listen and let us know what you think.

A Strange Fire - The Holiday of Lag Ba'Omer Jul 08, 2021

Show notes

Join Zac and Nate this week as they break down a Rabbinic holiday known as Lag Ba'Omer and the strange fire it presents in the shadow of the authentic Fire afforded us through Christ at Pentecost. Today there are many people trying to replicate what God is doing in others lives, through others lives, and what God has done for/through others in the past, instead of surrendering their lives over to Jesus personally and inheriting the life and resurrection power that comes from Him alone. From the days of the magicians in Egypt, to the mystics in Israel, to the "spiritual" mystics of our day, a lot of people are looking to ride the coattails of another persons personal walk with the pillar of fire Himself, but without the surrender, transformation, and holy lifestyle we are all called to walk. This is a strange fire, not the holy fire from above. It is an imitation rather than the substance of the real thing.

You Shall Not Carry the Name of the Lord in Vain Jul 01, 2021

Show notes

Join Zac and Nate this week as they look at one of the most misunderstood commandments in the law-- the taking of the name of the Lord in vain. A fuller understanding of what this actually means will sober you as you seek to live your life for Jesus and Jesus alone.
