A large limb from the neighbor's tree fell on our Tahoe. We took into the collision shop today to have it repaired. When we were there we found out the place is owned and operated by fellow believers. I had a great conversation with a couple of the guys there before we headed back home.
There's a Sukkot site in Kansas City? For real?
Please join us this year as we return to the basics while observing Yahwehs' appointed time in the Name of His Son, Yeshua!

The Feast of Weeks is called Shavuot, but biblically, this term technically refers to the preceding 7 weeks. The festival itself is called Yom haBikurim, the day of firstfruits. This can be somewhat confusing, because there are two Yomim haBikurim, the early and later First Fruits. The early FirstFruits marks the beginning of counting the 50 days toward the later FirstFruits, which is why the later one is also called #pentecost, Greek for fifty.
Numbers 28:26-31
I've made a few videos on the Biblical holiday of #shavuot.
Command the people of Israel and say to them, ‘My offering, my food for my food offerings, my pleasing aroma, you shall be careful to offer to me at its appointed time.’
Numbers 28:2
The timing of the sacrifices and holy days is important to God. The terminology can be imprecise, but not the execution, unless there is imprecision built into the command itself. (And that's possible in some cases!)
Food goes both ways. God commands Israel to give him food via the offerings, while he provides food for them in the manna. Not that God needs food in the form of animals and grain. It isn't the material that sustains him, but the worship of his people.
What exactly is the “spirit of Amalek” and how is it different from the “spirit of Jeroboam”? As David Altman explains in this second part of our four-part conversation, both can manifest in Jew hatred, but there is a significant difference in the origin and intention of each. Not surprisingly, elements of Amalek and Jeroboam have manifested in the history of the church, leading to considerable tragedy in Christian-Jewish relations.
Is there a way around this enmity between Christians and Jews, the two halves of God’s Covenant People of Israel? Yes, but it requires humility, repentance, and a return to God’s standards of righteousness. That’s what David Jones and Barry Phillips talk about in their midrash, “Men As Trees,” and what we hear in the music of Teshuva and the Exodus Road Band.
