In this lesson I cover what exactly the Second Commandment (of the Ten) is referring to, focusing in on paralleling texts in Exodus (19-20) with Deuteronomy. I then move into the subject of altars and animal sacrifices, a topic that I&apos;ll continue to develop in probably two more sermons to soon follow.

714 Idols vs. Altars (Ex. 20:22-24)

In this lesson I cover the effects of Yahweh Himself coming down on Mount Sinai, how we should have a holy fear of the Creator, the importance of holy leadership and placing faith in that leadership, and how staying focused on Yahweh and who He really is leads to a disciplined life of less sin.

713 Trembling Before Yahweh (Ex. 20:18-21)

In this lesson we learn how the Servant, through his humiliation, took it all in stride. He didn&apos;t fight back even when forsaken. He wasn&apos;t even given the opportunity to plead his case, yet he remained faithful and stayed the course he had been appointed to.

712 The Servant Who Suffered Silently (Isaiah 53:7-9)

This is a continued introduction of this series, centering in on the importance of taking heed to the law given through Moshe (Moses) on Mount Sinai. In this lesson I walk through the time period of Ezra and the restoration of Judah and Jerusalem, some 100 years after the death of King Josiah. I also look at the birth of Yeshua, and the necessity of him being born into a Torah Observant home.

711 Ezra, Yeshua, and Torah (Studying Torah, pt. 2)

When Moses the man of Elohim died, Yahweh put Joshua the son of Nun in his place. The first instructions given to Joshua was to be careful to follow the law that Moses (Yahweh&apos;s servant) commanded. How important is this instruction today, and does it only apply to Joshua? Listen in to learn how to prosper and be successful, and how this instruction kept being passed down from generation to generation, for those who wanted to commit their way to the Creator.

710 Get Back to the Law (Studying Torah, pt. 1)

The servant is wounded, beat, and bruised, but it&apos;s not because of his own sins, it&apos;s because of someone else&apos;s. What do we make of this? This lesson also deals with the popular belief in the modern, Charismatic movement that physical healing is promised to believers based upon the stripes Yeshua received during his beating before crucifixion.

709 The Stricken and Afflicted Servant (Isaiah 53:4-6)

The servant, although being described as the very arm of Yahweh, was of humble beginnings and a lowly life. It makes no sense to some, but it makes all the sense in the world to others. For exaltation to come there must first be humility.

708 The Despised and Rejected Servant (Isaiah 53:1-3)

Why back up from Isaiah 53 and start talking about Isaiah 52? Listen to learn about Biblical chapter and verse divisions in history, and how these last few verses in "Isaiah 52" reveal an individual as the ultimate slave/servant of Yahweh. This lesson also centers in on how to translate a particular word from Hebrew to English.

707 The Servant Who Startles Nations (Isaiah 52:13-15)

In this lesson I look at the idea I was first show from the book of Tobit, that almsgiving atones for sin. How in the world could that be correct and canonical? Before immediately dismissing it, walk through the Scriptures with me and let&apos;s see if there&apos;s anything else in Scripture that speaks this sort of language.

706 Atoning Almsgiving (Alms, pt. 4)

This sermon is the first in series of lessons covering a detailed examination of Isaiah 53.

705 Introduction to the First Gospel (Isaiah 53 Overview)

Many have heard the account of the Rich Young Ruler, but not everyone has taken in what I believe to be the key point of the passage - giving to the poor. Does giving to the poor really increase a person&apos;s treasure, and is the concept of meritorious almsgiving just mimicking the modern day Prosperity Gospel?

704 Is Almsgiving Like the Prosperity Gospel? (Alms, pt. 3)

This lesson covers many of the Scriptures that speak of meritorious almsgiving - that giving to the poor brings about the blessing of Yahweh on a person&apos;s life, most specifically in the after-life (at the resurrection of the righteous). The Scriptures are plenty and clear on this subject, but systems of religion have kept us, nay scared us, away from believing that something we do earns a reward.

703 Yah Rewards Giving to the Poor (Alms, pt. 2)

Prayer is a powerful tool, but we must learn to use it properly. The best prayer you could ever pray if for someone&apos;s spiritual betterment. 

702 The Power of Prayer (Eph. 6:18-24, pt. 43)

When you hear someone read a Bible verse that says "Sell your possessions and give the money to the poor," you probably think of the story of the Rich Young Ruler. But... Yeshua didn&apos;t just say that to this young ruler. He said the same thing to thousands of people that listened to him teach. There is such a thing as meritorious almsgiving and even atoning almsgiving. If that shocks you, don&apos;t answer a matter before you hear it. Listen to this lesson and then examine the Scriptures to see if it be so.

701 The Power of Almsgiving (Alms, pt. 1)

There is only one offensive weapon in the armor we are called to adorn in our battle against the enemy - the sword. This is not a physical sword, but a spiritual one, whereby we skillfully cut away at the dark forces that try to steal, kill, and destroy. We have the very Words of Yahweh at our grasp. We must use them properly, and the only way to do that is to know them well.

700 The Spiritual Sword (Eph. 6:17b, pt. 42)
