Why I Say “Yeshua” Not “Jesus”

As a Jewish Messiah-follower, Kevin explores his two main reasons why he calls the Master “Yeshua,” rather than “Jesus.” This episode traces the Messiah’s name through Hebrew, Greek, Latin and English (visually illustrated in the video version), then explains the importance of preserving its meaning—and the impact it can have—both for believers in general, and […]

God of Deliverance, Pt. 1

What Is the Good News of Yeshua? (Part 8) Having dispersed Noah’s descendants to form a world of nations, God continued His reconciling work through obscure, unremarkable Abraham. God covenanted with Abraham that He would make him into a great nation, give him a great name, and make him a blessing to all the families […]

Lost Inheritance

Springtime on the Christian liturgical calendar is punctuated by a series of holy days, culminating in Easter—the celebration of the resurrection of Yeshua.

God of Promise, Pt. 3

What Is the Good News of Yeshua? (Part 7) Before he died, Abraham found a wife for his son from among the people of his father.

God of Salvation

What Is the Good News of Yeshua? (Part 4) Adam had brought sin into the world, soiling God’s pristine creation.

Forced to follow through on His covenantal obligation, God enacted His judgment and barred mankind […]

God of Judgment

What Is the Good News of Yeshua? (Part 3) The foundation of the Good News was laid when the God of creation made the heavens and the earth. He filled the world with life that sprawled across the land, sea and air—beautiful and pristine, it flourished. As His crowning achievement, God created a caretaker for […]

God of Creation

What Is the Good News of Yeshua? (Part 2) The opening words of Scripture, found in Genesis 1:1, speak precisely to the beginning of the message of the Good News. Before the very spreading out of the heavens and the foundation of the earth, there was God, and nothing but God. This fact cannot be […]
