Contending for the Faith

Hilary spoke at the Surge 2023 Women's Conference in Waxahachie on 8/12/2023. The Message was entitled Cultivating Unity in the Body of Messiah. So powerful and transformative was this message she was led to share with It's Not As You Perceive listeners. 

In this replay of a past episode, we discuss how to keep--how to guard the Month of the Aviv. Happy New Year! Shalom.

Rod and Hilary Thomas discuss two common impediments that can get in the way of our understanding things of the Faith and God: the absences of discipleship and the working of the Holy Spirit in the lives of believers. They offer insightful solutions to successfully combating these impediments. Shalom and Welcome. 

Let's have a frank conversation about impediments that block our understanding of the things of the Faith and of YHVH. The first impediment to consider is Bible reading and study. Here we will examine the "love-hate" relationship many of us have with our Bibles and then consider solutions to combating those impediments to our understanding the Bible. Shalom and welcome.

In this reflection post, we consider the example of the requirements and expectations given in Torah for service in the Levitical Priesthood, which is a shadow of the expectations Yeshua has for every true disciples. A life that is beyond the norm for all humanity.

By virtue of our role as disciples of Yahoshua Messiah (Jesus Christ), we are called to be a united and unified body of believers in every respect. Just as Master was united with His Father, we too must be united with the Father, our Master and with one another in the Body of Messiah.

What is the Day of Firstfruits all About and How Do We Keep the Sabbath Holy--is playing organized sports allowed on the Sabbath?

What does it mean to observe the Month Aviv. How do we go about observing--keeping--guarding the Month Aviv as Father has commanded us to do? We tackling this wonderful instruction of Father as we approach the Messianic New Year. Shalom.

What is a true believer in Yeshua Messiah expected to do during the Christmas season? One of the challenging things about this holiday season each year is the pressures placed upon believers in Yeshua to give in to the festivities and keep Christmas. Hilary discusses the responsibilities of every true believer in Yeshua during this challenging time of year.
