One Nation Under Baal

Join us for a special teaching from Rabbi Alex Yalenga from Zambia Messianic Fellowship. You can learn more about his ministry here: https://www.zamf.org/

You have an enemy. He is the ancient serpent, the evil one, the great red dragon. He is most widely known as Satan or the Devil. He has wisdom, power, a kingdom, and an army of fallen angels and demons at his behest. From the begining, Jesus said he is a liar and a murderer. One of his greatest lies is to get the masses to believe that he, his kingdom, and his agenda does not exist. But the Sacred Scriptures expose him for who he is. The Bible reveals his agenda, his aspirations, and his threat to everyone who believes in Jesus and commit themselves to God’s commandments. Join us in the series on the Great Red Dragon. In this sermon, we will be studying Revelation 1.

One of the core themes of Biblical literature is the concept of “holiness”. Holiness includes holy days which is our topic of discussion for today. The world has its holy days and holy seasons, and God has His. Furthermore, God has commanded His people to forsake pagan days such as Halloween and embrace His deeply spiritual days. Join us as we look at why we are to separate ourselves from celebrating or participating in the pagan days embedded in our culture.

The Day of Atonement is a revelation of how God will forgive and remove the sins of Israel. He will do this because He loves His people. We also learn that what he offers Israel, He offers to the nations as well. This is good news! As Paul summarizes it, this good news “is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek" (Rom 1:16). Obviously, Israel as a nation, rejected this offer. What does that mean? Has God now rejected her and replaced her with Gentile believers? And what about the promises that God made to her as a nation? The good news is that “all Israel shall be saved” (Rom 11:26). Join us as we look into the consummate Yom Kippur wherein Israel as a nation comes to faith and not only receives forgiveness, but everything that God ever promised her.

God gave us a Calendar that reveals who Jesus is and what He will do for us. This calendar helps define and govern our lives. Today we will look at the last holy day in God's Calendar. The last holy day on God’s Calendar is simply and mysteriously referred to by Moses as “the eighth day”. Very little is initially said about it. But as time unfolds, the revelation of this day explodes with meaning. In Jesus, there is an inaugural fulfillment in His first advent, and there will be a consummate fulfillment in His second advent! Join us as we step into the reality of the inaugural fulfillment of the eschatological Eighth Day!

God gave us a Calendar that reveals who Jesus is and what He will do for us. This calendar helps define and govern our lives. Today we will look at the holy week of Tabernacles. Tabernacles are a symbol of God’s faithful presence among us and in us. It’s a week of great joy, perhaps greater joy than any other holy day! Why? Because the holy week of Tabernacles is the theological setting for the birth of Jesus the Messiah! It is this week that we memorialize and celebrate the incarnation of God. It is the very reason we call Jesus, Immanuel, for it means God with us! Tune in to part two as we take a closer look at the birth of Messiah as the inaugural fulfillment of the holy week called tabernacles.

God gave us a Calendar that reveals who Jesus is and what He will do for us. This calendar helps define and govern our lives. Today we will continue to look at the Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. It conceptualizes how God will atone for and remove the sins of Israel and the whole world through Jesus, His only begotten Son. Join us as we continue the journey of discovering more about the Fall Festivals and the revelation of Jesus in them.

God gave us a Calendar that reveals who Jesus is and what He will do for us. This calendar helps define and govern our lives. For the Fall Holy Days, we will start with the first which is called Yom Teruah or the Day of Blowing (ram’s horns/trumpets). It is all about Jesus our King and His return to judge the living and the dead. For Yom Teruah last year we looked at Psalm 2 and how it was fulfilled by Jesus. This year we will take a dive into the book of Revelation and what it says about this holy day. Join us in this journey of discovering more about who Jesus is and who we are in Him.
