Path To Zion Podcast

* This originally aired as a video episode on Youtube HERE. This short series wraps up as we pull out the cup for a bit of a visual illustration. We'll also read several Scriptures that instruct us how to live peaceably, in self control and behave as mature ones who don't quarrel and fight. Lastly, we drive home the fact that not any one of us are meant to single-handedly possess ALL truth. We, the individual components of the Body need one another.

* This originally aired as a video episode on Youtube HERE. After listing some of the "hot topics" that incite disagreement within the Body of Messiah, we move into the importance of how we can all tend to be natural and driven by the flesh nature, when it comes to our interacting with one another. The fact is, we all often think that we personally know best, when in fact, we may not. So how about you? Do you need others? How do you fare when enduring alongside the brethren?

* This originally aired as a video episode on Youtube HERE. This 3-part series starts with introducing the fact that all who are within the Body of Messiah are intricate parts, with differing vantage points and understanding. If you desire to practice finding your place within a unified Body, this series is for you!

* This originally aired as a video episode on Youtube HERE. After a two month video hiatus, we return with an overview of what's been going on, including the first video recorded in the *brand new* Path To Zion studio! Stay tuned for a regular schedule to return.

In their letter to Philemon, Paul and Timothy address the group of believers that gather at his house. They commend these (Philemon specifically) and tell them that they have "refreshed the hearts of the saints". In this episode I'll discuss how I think it would be good for that to be said of us as well.

1 Peter 1:15 instructs us to be holy as Yahweh is holy. Holy in all of our behavior and in our entire way of life, to be specific. How do we do that? what does it mean? Is it even attainable? Let's find out.

This episode discusses Yeshua's intriguing question to Bartimaeus in Luke chapter 18, the importance of attributing all that we have to the Father and culminates with the following question/challenge: Are we providing Yeshua enough rightful petitions and requests for Him to fulfill His present-day Mediator Messiah role and function?

How do we approach practically living in the reality that (if we are born from above) our bodies are now temples of the living Elohim Most High? I was prompted to approach a stranger a few days back, and talk to him about some... well... awkward topics. This episode shares that exchange.

We receive questions from people asking (in summary), "How do we do 'x' in this world, in its fallen state?" "How do we in any way live holy, free and unstained in this age?" Well, there is an answer, but few want to hear it. We have been given parameters, boundaries... laws. We have been told. So, the REAL question is, are we really postured to do what requires for us to be a holy, royal priesthood, chosen nation people? This episode discusses the REAL question.

In Micah chapter 7 we see the importance of Who we are talking about when we mention "God". In this age, the name "God" can mean a world of different things to different people. In this episode, I use this verse to briefly point out the biblical/historical importance of the God of the Bible being the "Elohim of our Yeshua."

Using Peter and John as our example (in Acts chapter 4) we will ask ourselves if we have seen and heard enough to compel us to rightly announce our personal testimony. The first-century Church looks so drastically different than the Church that you and I have inherited. Why?

* This originally aired as a video episode on Youtube HERE. The short series wraps up asking how we know what clean even is. What is "doing good"? What is "evil"? We see in John chapter 13 Peter tell Yeshua to not only wash his feet, but his hands and head also - even after Yeshua declared him to be "clean." Herein is a very encouraging word to us. No matter where we are, there is always more cleaning for us to tend to.

* This originally aired as a video episode on Youtube HERE. This part discusses several other verses that speak of the importance of being found "clean." How do we know what is clean in the sight of Yahweh? How do we know what unclean is? Who decides? Is there anything for us to do now, since we're the "living temple"?

* This originally aired as a video episode on Youtube HERE. With John chapter 13 as our primary text, we'll attempt to rightly define what it means to be "completely clean" by the Messiah. How do we know what clean and unclean even are? Cleanliness and purification is of utmost importance throughout the entire Word of God. Why?

In this episode we'll briefly discuss Isaiah chapter 25, verse 1. Within it is a simple reminder for us to pattern our lives after, as we see Isaiah make several things clear, using only one verse. May you be encouraged by this prophets declaration!

In this episode I continue to share my personal testimony of how what kept me in bondage for the majority of my life has been not just repaired but also redeemed. How wonderful it is to be set free *and* then set to walk out the purpose of what we are created to do and be. To donate to the podcast, please click here.

A few days ago I realized that there are some things in my life that have not just been merely repaired and healed, but actually redeemed unto their Creator-given purpose. This short series uses my personal testimony to demonstrate this simple, yet powerful principle. To donate to the podcast, please click here.

In this brief episode, we'll discuss an overview of where we've been as of late and where we might be heading next. Why do we do what we do here? What is our primary purpose and goal? Thank you for listening!

* This originally aired as a video episode on Youtube HERE. In 1 Peter chapter 2 we're told of the purpose for which the Church has been called. So what is it? Do you know? "To patiently endure suffering for doing what is right." May we be encouraged for verse 21 tells us that there has been One Who has gone before us! Yeshua Messiah, our One Example! We will look into the word used in this text for "example", and the principle therein. Donate: http://www.paypal.me/pathtozionpodcast

* This originally aired as a video episode on Youtube HERE. Next up we look at verses 17 through 28 of Act 10 where Peter makes it clear that his vision had nothing to do with animals but instead he stated "Yahweh has shown me not to call any *man* unholy and unclean." When did Yahweh show Peter this? When he had the vision about unclean animals. So why have we been told this somehow meant we can eat whatever we want? We must study to show ourselves approved.
