Stand Up and Be Counted
The book of Numbers begins in the second year of Israel coming out of Egypt. It’s here that we see a purposeful census and numbering of warriors, leaders, priests, and duties while “in the wilderness.” We must ask. Is there a priority of duty for congregations today? If so, why do so many forget about…
What are we Worth?
If you follow the news on Diddy Combs and his complete disregard towards people, you might start to wonder about human worth, for without a Creator, human value turns into a commodity to be used by the highest bidder. The book of Leviticus has a different take. From the beginning of the Book, we see…
Works of the Law or Works of the Spirit?
“Drive careful now and be safe!” When my parents first said this to me, I was baffled! Why wouldn’t I drive safely? But at 16, the concept of being careful wasn’t really in my daily vocabulary or brain. In hindsight, I can see why the reminder was given. In this week’s study, Yahweh…
Does Yahweh Expect Me to Change?
Does Yahweh Expect Me to Change? This week, I was moved to ask you some key questions. Come prepared for this Sabbath’s Convocation by finding answers to the following questions.

How do We Learn to Respect the Holiness of God?
My daughter called me up this week to tell me about a deeply moving film she had just watched. It was “The Passion of Christ.” She shared with me how both her and her boyfriend had been moved to tears. Watching what Yeshua had to bear as the sacrificial Lamb for our sins was hard…
Be Blessed this Shabbat!
A new year and new beginnings. What does it bring? As I sit down and ponder what to share with MVF, I have been moved to say little. In fact, the only words that have come to me is this text: “Moreover, the LORD your God will circumcise your heart and the hearts of…
Do This in Remembrance
Many blessings to all who are celebrating the Passover and Unleavened Bread Feast Day Seasons! May you consider the circumcision of your heart as you partake of the Messiah, while recognizing His mighty works in bringing you out of bondage and into freedom! “They shall eat the flesh in that night, roasted with fire,…
What Does Sacrifice Mean?
Have you ever wondered what it must have felt like to be in the heart of Israel’s wilderness camp? Would you have been judged? Would gossip have spread by the type of offering you pulled or carried to the tabernacle? Maybe Yah provided both voluntary and mandatory offerings so people wouldn’t know what was being…
