The Torah’s sacrificial system could never bring people close to God. Only Yeshua’s perfect, once-for-all sacrifice opens a new and living way into His presence with full assurance of faith. In this episode of his verse-by-verse series on the book of Hebrews, Kevin reveals how the perfect priesthood of Yeshua makes it possible for us to be close to God.

How could the God of the universe forget something? Well, He does forget—all the time—because if He remembered this one thing, that would be very bad... for us. In this episode of his verse-by-verse series on the book of Hebrews, Kevin reveals from Hebrews 10:1-18 how God forgetting leads to God forgiving. WATCH ON YOUTUBE • https://bcpodca.st/y/ep88
The levitical priesthood was more than God’s means of making atonement for, and forgiving the sins, of the people. It also served as an example of the pattern for an eternal priesthood—one that serves the true heavenly tabernacle. In this episode of his verse-by-verse series, Kevin explains how Hebrews 9 reveals Yeshua's awesome sacrifice by which He mediates the enactment of a new covenant with Israel.

The Master Yeshua has become the guarantee of a better covenant! The priests appointed by Torah were weak men, defiled by their own sin, and subject to death. But Yeshua’s priesthood is perfect, undefiled, permanent, and indestructible, one that can serve a better covenant—a new covenant. In this episode of his verse-by-verse series, Kevin unpacks Hebrews 8, to reveal an approachable God by way of an authentic mediator sympathetic to our need.

The Torah says that only one who is descended from the tribe of Levi can serve as a priest. So how can Yeshua, who comes from the tribe of Judah, qualify to serve as a priest forever? In this episode of his verse-by-verse series, Kevin looks at Hebrews 7, unpacking the mysterious figure of Melchizedek and one of Scripture’s most powerful declarations of Yeshua’s a greater, unchangeable, and everlasting priesthood.

What happens when we as believers in Messiah don’t mature in our faith? Are we risking anything by not growing in our commitment to the Master? In this episode of his verse-by-verse series, Kevin looks at Hebrews chapters 5 and 6, and one of Scripture’s gravest warnings, which we would all do well to heed.

The author of Hebrews reveals that Yeshua, perfected through suffering, became the cause of everlasting salvation for all who believe in Him. But in what way is His priesthood set apart and perfect, compared to the Torah's Levitical order? In this episode of his verse-by-verse series, Kevin explores Hebrews chapters 4 and 5 to uncover the profound significance of Yeshua’s unique high priesthood and its impact on our salvation.

The author of Hebrews teaches us that there is a Shabbat-keeping for the people of God, that we may stop from our works, and enter into His rest. But what if the Good News of our eternal Sabbath rest is only part of what it means to truly enter in? In this episode of his verse-by-verse series on the book of Hebrews, Kevin reveals a side of chapter 4 that you may have never seen before. WATCH ON YOUTUBE • https://bcpodca.st/y/ep82
The author of Hebrews has a severe warning for us if we fail to hold fast to our faith. In this episode of his verse-by-verse series, Kevin dives into Hebrews chapter 3 to discover what could cause believers in Yeshua to go astray. WATCH ON YOUTUBE • https://bcpodca.st/y/ep81
Is it possible that there is actually something that is impossible for God? Why would Yeshua need to made perfect if He was already perfect? In this episode of his verse-by-verse series, Kevin explores Hebrews chapter 2, and why we need Yeshua to be fully human as much as we need Him to be God. WATCH ON YOUTUBE • https://bcpodca.st/y/ep80
Who—or, more precisely, what—is the Son of God? Is He just a man? Some kind of supernatural entity? A divine being? Or, perhaps, something even better! In this first episode of his new verse-by-verse series, Kevin explores Hebrews chapter 1, and the author's powerful introduction to the awesome, most excellent, and one-of-a-kind Son of God.

It’s universally accepted and taught in Judaism, Messianic Judaism, Jewish roots, and every adjacent movement, that, without question, God gave Israel the Torah on Shavuot—that our observance of Shavuot should also celebrate the receiving of the Torah, because that momentous event occurred on the very same date as the Feast. But did it? In this episode, Kevin definitively answers whether the idea that the Torah was given on Shavuot is biblical, and how this should effect our understanding and celebration of one of the major Feasts of Israel.

Baptism has historically been one of the most divisive topics among Christians. Entire denominations have been formed over disagreements about how to baptize, when to baptize, and, most importantly, whether or not baptism is necessary for salvation. In this in-depth episode, Kevin dives into the Scriptures to determine the biblical method of baptism, what baptism accomplishes, and if we can truly be saved without it.

Christians say that Jesus is God. But isn’t this understanding just a misinterpretation or twisting of Scripture? Or maybe it’s an invention of the New Testament authors, not embraced by Yeshua Himself. Isn’t the idea of a man being God in total conflict with the Hebrew Scriptures? Not so fast! In this episode, Kevin considers at the biblical legitimacy of Yeshua’s deity, and whether or not the Hebrew Scriptures—the "Old Testament"—teaches that the Messiah is also God.

What is the role of the Ruach HaQodesh in our lives? How do we yield to and move in Him? What does it mean to walk in the Spirit? In this final part of a 3-part series, Kevin surveys the Scriptures to illustrate how the Spirit of God can and desires to impact our daily lives both indirectly and inwardly.

What does the Holy Spirit do? How do we connect with Him? What are the means and methods by which He interacts with us, empowering us to live our new life in Messiah?

The Holy Spirit is our invisible partner in living out the word of God in the service of the Master Yeshua. He is not some unknowable, mysterious force to be feared or ignored, nor is He a mystical spigot that we can switch on for our spiritual indulgence. To correctly understand and walk in the Spirit, we need biblical balance. In this first part of a 3-part series, Kevin reintroduces us to the Holy Spirit, not according to doctrinal faith traditions or subjective personal experience, but according to the written revelation of Scriptures.

Well-known inspirational Bible quotes often bring us comfort, encouragement, motivation, reassurance and strength. Yet we tend to gravitate toward such verses not just because they’re emotionally uplifting, but because they’re contextually sanitized, non-confrontational, and undemanding of us. Such a shallow use of the Bible robs us of the endless abundance of inspiration found all over the Scriptures, including in the most unexpected, less delicate, more in-your-face and provocative of places. So with that in mind, here are four inspirational Bible verses that no one in their right mind has ever labeled “inspirational.” WATCH ON YOUTUBE • https://bcpodca.st/y/ep72
