FIRSTFRUITS: Rediscovering the Feast Behind "Resurrection Sunday."
4/10/2026
The Appointed Times We Forgot: Bridging the Divide.
Did you know that what many brothers and sisters today know as âResurrection Sundayâ is directly connected to Passover and a biblical holy day called Firstfruits? Yes! Most modern churches have lost this connection, even though itâs right there in Scripture! Have you read it? Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 15:20 about the resurrection of Jesus: âBut now Christ (Messiah) is risen from the dead, and has become the FIRSTFRUITS of those who have fallen asleep.â Listen in and learn more about the resurrection of Yeshua (Jesus)!

PASSOVER: The First Picture of Salvation!
3/25/2026
Have you ever wondered why the New Testament connects Jesus to the Passover? In 1 Corinthians 5:7, the apostle Paul writes some very interesting words that most believers gloss over: âChrist, our Passover, was sacrificed for us.â Why did Paul link Jesus directly to Passover? Well, to understand this, we have to go back to one of the powerful moments in the Bible, the Passover in the Book of Exodus. Now, many of us as believers may have heard something about Passover but arenât very familiar with it. You make think, âWell, Passover isnât important to me. Isnât it just a Jewish a celebration?â Many of us have also never even considered it to be connected to Jesus, but it is! Passover is so much more than we realize. And yes, itâs for Christians too! Today weâll answer the following questions: What exactly is Passover? Does it really matter to believers today? And how does Passover connect us to Jesus? Together weâll learn the deeper meaning of Passover and how Jesus, Yeshua our Messiah and Savior is at the center of it all!

đď¸Part 7 | ZIONISM: Good or Bad? What Does the Bible say?
3/8/2026
Why this conversation matters: Today, when someone says they support Israel, many are often labeled a âZionist.â Sometimes that word is used positively. Other times it is used as an insult or accusation. Some also say things like: âIâm not antisemitic or anti-Israel; Iâm just anti-Zionist.â But if you stop and ask what many mean by that, some struggle to even explain it. The word "Zionismâ for many has become so emotionally charged, political, and confusing especially in light of the Middle East conflict between Israel and Hamas. Because of this, many Christians feel unsure about how they should think about it. Is it good or bad? In this study we will discuss: ⢠What the word âZionismâ means. ⢠What Zion is in the Bible. ⢠What is Christian Zionism is. ⢠If Zion is Biblical? ⢠And does God Himself say anything about âZion?â Tune in and share! #biblestudy #MessianicFaith #Israel #Yeshua #Zionist #ChristianZionism

đď¸ Part 3 How to know where God has you right now.
3/4/2026
(This podcast is dedicated to Richard Maldonado our beloved brother in Messiah)
Have you ever felt like something is shifting in your life⌠but you canât quite explain it? Maybe something big and challenging has come out of nowhere! Youâre probably wondering, is this good or bad? Is God trying to get my attention⌠or is this just some other type of opposition? Maybe doors are closing.
Maybe new opportunities are appearing. Maybe things feel slower than usual⌠or maybe everything feels like itâs changing too fast. Maybe a prayer youâve prayed for years was finally answered⌠or maybe youâre still waiting. Maybe you stepped into a new responsibility that feels heavier than you expected. Maybe your faith feels stronger than ever Or⌠maybe it feels like youâre struggling to trust God.
Maybe new people have come into your life⌠or maybe youâve experienced a loss. You know⌠something just feels like itâs changing.
Sometimes we pray for change⌠and when it comes, we donât even recognize it. Other times we resist it because we donât understand what God is doing. Is there a way to know where God has you right now and to understand what Heâs doing in your life? Are you in a season of growth? Challenge? Blessing? Testing? Preparation? Or action?
Today on Daily Manna, weâre going to talk about how to know biblically where God has you right now and what He is doing in your life, and how to respond to it with faith and confidence, instead of confusion and frustration. We hope you enjoy todayâs podcast.

4 Lessons Purim Teaches Us Today!
3/2/2026
Watch the full teaching on YouTube at gogcctx: Purim, Iran, Israel and the Return of Jesus. In this powerful study, we unpack four timeless lessons from the story of Esther and connect them to the world weâre living in right now. From ancient Persia to modern Iran, from Hamanâs plot to todayâs threats against Israel, we explore how biblical patterns resurface in every generation. Purim reminds us that God is always working behind the scenes, that He raises people up for such a time as this, that He defends His covenant people, and that evil never has the final word.

đď¸Purim, Iran, Israel, and the Return of Jesus â Is the Story of Esther Happening Again?
3/2/2026
In this study, we talk about Purim and the story of the Book of Esther, and why its message is still relevant today! Purim remembers how the Jewish people were saved in ancient Persia, the land we now know as Iran, when a plan was made to destroy them, but God turned everything around. Even though Godâs name is not written in Esther, His hand is seen in every moment.
In this episode we talk about:
What Purim teaches us about trusting God.
How Persia connects to modern Iran.
How God protects Israel again and again.
What Yeshua said about the last days.
Why these events remind us that the return of Jesus Christ could be getting closer!
Purim reminds us that when things look dark, God is still in control. He can turn fear into victory, just like He did in Estherâs time. #biblestudy #israel #messianic #iran #iranisraelwar

đď¸Part 6 | Should Christians Really Bless Israel?
3/2/2026
If believers donât bless Israel, will they really be cursed? In light of all the controversy surrounding Israel today, people from every background, secular and Christian are weighing in. And when many Christians are asked why they choose to support Israel today, their answer is simple: âBecause the Bible says that those who bless Israel will be blessed, and those who curse Israel will be cursedâ (Genesis 12:3).
But not everyone agrees with that line of thinking. Many of our Christian brothers and sisters quickly push back and say, âThat promise was only for Abraham. Not Israel. Youâre taking that out of context! That doesnât apply to the nation of Israel today.â
Others add, âWell, that was Old Testament.â Or, âBlessing Israel doesnât mean you have to support the modern Israeli government.â And then come the stronger objections like, âWe donât support Israel because: âMost Jews reject Jesus.â âNot all Israel is Israelâ (Romans 9:6). âThe Jews killed Jesus.â âThe Book of Revelation Israel a synagogue of Satanâ (Revelation 2:9; 3:9). âWhy should we bless people who donât believe in Christ?â
These are serious statements. And they deserve serious, careful, biblical answers. If you are someone who prays for Israel or stands with her, you have likely heard these objections. So letâs look at what the Bible actually says, no politics, no opinions just the Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16).

đď¸Part 5 | What JESUS (Yeshua) said about Israel.
2/20/2026
This study invites us to see Jesus also known as Yeshua, not disconnected from Israel, but part of her story. Standing in the the middle of it. The Bible calls us to do the same (Matthew 15:24). As we explore what Jesus said about Israel, we will rediscover the heart of God for His covenant people and the prophetic story that stretches from Genesis to Revelation (Genesis 17:7â8; Romans 11:1â2). Many believers have been taught that Israel no longer matters in Godâs plan. But what did Yeshua actually say? This study explores the question and provides the answers. We will look at Israelâs past, present, and future through the words of our Messiah Himself, and how aligning our hearts with His heart brings clarity, restoration, and deeper faith (Psalm 122:6; Acts 1:6â7). If youâve ever wondered how the Jewish roots of your faith connect to Bible prophecy and the times we are living in, this study is for you. Letâs walk the ancient path together (Jeremiah 6:16). #israel #biblestudy #messianic #jesus #yeshua #prophecy

đď¸Part 4 | Modern Israel? Biblical Israel? Same or Different?
2/20/2026
This study helps believers understand modern Israel through a biblical and historical lens, not politics, headlines, or social media narratives. We walk through Scripture to show who Israel is, why the land matters, and how Godâs covenant with Israel continues today. We also address common questions and objections many Christians have, including accusations of genocide, the role of Hamas, civilian casualties, and how to think biblically about justice, accountability, and compassion in times of war. Using verifiable history and Scripture, we separate emotional claims from facts and clarify what the Bible actually teaches. Most importantly, this study calls the Body of Christ back to truth, balance, and Godâs heart showing why understanding Israel rightly helps us understand Yeshua (Jesus), the apostles, and the times we are living in. This is not about agreeing with every political decision, but about aligning with Godâs covenant, purposes, and redemptive plan revealed in His Word. #israel #podcast #messianic #yeshua #biblestudy #jesus

Part 3đď¸ Who is Israel? Understanding Godâs people, land, and promises.
2/2/2026
In our previous studies, we explored why Israel often feels irrelevant to many Christians and how misunderstanding Israel; especially when influenced only by political voices can be dangerous for our faith and our understanding of the Bible. Today, weâre continuing the journey by asking the big question: Who is Israel? Weâll look at Israel as a person, a people, a land, and a modern nation, and uncover why understanding this is so important for your faith, for prophecy, and for seeing Godâs plan unfold in our day. Donât miss it, tune in and be equipped! #israel #messianic #yeshua #biblestudy #jesus

đď¸Candace, Tucker & Nick Fuentes: When Political Voices Shape Theology on Israel.
1/25/2026
Thereâs a concerning shift happening in our country right now, among many believers and among voices that claim to speak for Christ. From the ongoing war in Gaza, to loud political voices, many of our Christian brothers and sisters are sadly being influenced to question Godâs promises to Israel, our connection to Israel through Jesus, Yeshua, and whether Israel really matters to us as believers today. Some are questioning if we should truly stand with and pray for Israel. If opposing Israel is really against God. Is there anyone out there who is willing to help bring clarity to these questions and issues? Yes. We are willing. We know it wonât be popular, but to those listening who are our brothers and sisters in Christ, the Bible makes it clear that Israel is not just a âside topic.â Itâs something that we as believers are called to take the right stance on and hold the right beliefs about. In todayâs bible discussion, weâre going to explore how this shift is happening and we are going to do our part in speaking out to our community locally and beyond, in the body of Christ to bring clarity. We are going to shine the light on three very influential voices in the political world, Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, and Nick Fuentes. These voices are attempting to shape how Christians should think about Israel. Planting seeds of doubt, confusion and even hatred.

đď¸ Why does the topic of Israel feel irrelevant to most Christians today?
1/19/2026
This study confronts that question by returning to Scripture and uncovering a long-forgotten biblical truth: Israel remains central to Godâs redemptive plan, the Gospel, and the return of Jesus, Yeshua.
Through Romans 11, the concept of a faithful remnant, and the Jewish foundations of our faith, this teaching explains why many believers struggle with this topic, how tradition has shaped that distance, and why God is awakening a remnant to this calling today.
More than theology, this study invites personal reflection, humility, and faithfulness, reminding believers that to understand Israel is to better understand the heart of God, the Gospel itself, and the days leading to Messiahâs return.

Jesus and the Resurrection of Israel? "And the Nations Will Know."
1/4/2026
âAnd the Nations Will Knowâ is a timely and eye-opening study that traces Godâs prophetic timeline through the Times of the Gentiles and the miraculous resurrection of Israel. (Ezekiel 37:28) From the words of Yeshua to the promises spoken by the prophets, this teaching reveals how world history, Israelâs restoration, and the nations are deeply intertwined in Godâs redemptive plan.
It confronts common assumptions, anchors listeners in Scripture, and shows that Israelâs rebirth is not political coincidence, but divine fulfillment. As the nations shift and global tensions rise, this message calls believers to discern the season, understand Israelâs role, and recognize that God is making Himself known among the nations, just as He promised.

The "Hard Sayings" of Yeshua: Following the Biblical Jesus.
11/10/2025
Many come to Yeshua, Jesus because of His words of love, mercy, and promise of eternal life. Rightly so! But as we grow in faith, we must also face the other side of His teachings, those that challenge our comfort, confront sin, and call us to deeper obedience. In this study, The "Hard Sayings" of Yeshua: Following the Biblical Jesus, weâll explore the words of our Messiah that many find difficult to accept, sayings about denying ourselves, loving our enemies, counting the cost of discipleship, and walking in holiness. These are not just harsh commands; they are invitations into the transforming truth of the Kingdom. Together, weâll uncover what Jesus, Yeshua truly meant when He said things like âWhoever does not take up his cross cannot be My discipleâ and âNot everyone who says to Me, âLord, Lord,â will enter the Kingdom of Heaven.â Through the lens of Scripture and a Hebraic understanding of His message, weâll learn to follow not the cultural Jesus, but the Biblical Yeshua, the Lion and the Lamb, full of both mercy and truth. This study will strengthen your walk, deepen your love for God, and renew your understanding of what it truly means to be His disciple in a world that often prefers comfort over conviction.

Part 3| Following Yeshua today as Messianic believers - What does it look like?
10/29/2025
In our previous session, we unveiled the Messianic faith as the faith of Yeshua (Jesus) Himself, the way He lived, taught, and walked in perfect harmony with the Father. Now, weâre going to take that understanding and ask a very practical question: What does it look like to follow Yeshua in our lives today, if we choose to embrace the Messianic path?
Following Yeshua isnât just about believing in who He is, itâs about walking as He walked. Itâs about living out faith in both the Spirit and the truth, letting His Word shape how we love, how we serve, how we worship, and how we obey. Weâll look at what it means to live a Torah-honoring, Spirit-filled life in todayâs world, not through legalism, but first through faith and relationship in the LORD.
Weâll explore how Yeshua's teachings still apply in a modern context, and how the Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh) empowers us to live them out with joy and authenticity. This session is all about transformation, letting the life of Yeshua be formed in us. Weâll talk about practical ways to keep His commandments, walk in His character, and reflect His Kingdom in our families, communities, and daily decisions.
Join us as we bring faith to life, learning what it truly means to follow Yeshua today. May this session inspire you to walk closely with Him, to live with purpose, and to embody the love and truth of our Messiah wherever you go.

Part 2| Rediscovering Yeshua â Jesus in His Jewish Context!
10/29/2025
Unveiling the Messianic Faith as the Faith of Yeshua. In this session, we turn our focus to the heart of the matter, the faith of Yeshua (Jesus) Himself. What did He actually teach, believe, and live out? What did His disciples follow? And how does that compare to what much of the world knows today as the modern Christians faith?
Weâll open the Scriptures to see that Yeshua (Jesus) didnât come to start a new religion, but to fulfill the promises of the Torah and the Prophets, to call both Jews and Gentiles into one redeemed family walking in covenant with God. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Through His life, His teachings, and His obedience to the Father, we see what true Messianic faith looks like, a faith rooted in the Torah, Prophets and Writings (Tanakh - Old Testament), grounded in truth, lived out in love, and alive in the power of the Spirit.
As we study, youâll discover that to walk in the Messianic faith isnât about becoming âmore Jewishâ or âless Christian.â Itâs about returning to the faith of Yeshua, the faith He lived, taught, and gave His life to restore. Itâs about alignment with His ways, His Word, and His Kingdom purpose on earth. So join us as we unveil the faith of Yeshua Himself!
