The Future Feast of Sukkot
R. Dennis Richards presents numerous prophecies throughout the Scriptures that refer to the ancient Feast of Sukkot and the future relevance of this joyous 7-day festival.
Nations Will Come to Your Light
R. Dennis Richards starts from the prophecy in Isaiah 60:3 and explores some of the other references to Light as they pertain to Israel today and our lives in the near future.
Yom Kippur Today
R. Dennis Richards compares the traditional Jewish Yom Kippur with the Day of Atonement we as Messianic believers celebrate today. He brings out the true meaning of Yom Kippur in the larger scheme of what YHVH is doing with His people.
Treasures in Jars of Clay ( on Erev Yom Kippur)
R. Paul Falk opens the evening before Yom Kippur with an insightful look at the metaphor of the potter and the jars of clay that represents YHVH and us, His creations. Throughout the Scriptures, references to jars of clay lead up to an amazing point in II Corinthians 4 through which we understand the awesome treasures that He has placed in these fragile earthen vessels.
The Mercy Seat
R. Dennis Richards gives an insightful teaching regarding The Mercy Seat which covers the Ark of the Covenant and the symbolism it holds for those called to approach YHVH through His Word.
Erev Yom Teruah – Messianic Holidays
R. Paul Falk spoke on Yom Teruah Eve about a disconcerting trend among Messianic congregations in which they are creating new holidays and traditions that are not always YHVH’s Holy Days according to the Scriptures.

R. Dennis Richards examines the Scriptural holy day, Yom Teruah, compared to the traditional Jewish holiday of Rosh Hoshannah, and shows how it is a gateway to Yom Kippur through which each of us are to pass today.
Justice II – What is FAIR
R. Paul Falk expounds upon the parable of the landowner hiring workers in Matthew 20, showing how the proprietor’s hiring of the later workers pertains to our calling today, and who the early workers are who consider our pay unfair. Yeshua commanded His disciples to pray for workers, yet so few of us respond with the biblical meaning of “Here I am!”
Justice 1 – Different Measurements
R. Paul Falk brings the subject of Justice to the surface—a major theme throughout the Scriptures that is widely ignored in society today. This first eye-opening installment focuses on the commands about “differing weights and measures” that almost all of us break as we “measure” people around us.
Works 6 – Can Faith Without Works Save?
R. Paul Falk expounds on James 2:14 using the example of how YHVH teaches His people faith during the deliverance from Egypt, and gradually introduces them to certain works in the process. A clear answer to the question, “Can faith without works save?”
