discipleship | Beth Immanuel Messianic Synagogue

More about discipleship

Gender identity has never been a more polarizing issue than it is today, but here's a Beth Immanuel teaching from back in 2011 about the difference between boys and girls and the stuff they are made of. Despite our differences, we share the same high calling of our Master, the call to discipleship.

Do you feel like you have a special calling in life? The Apostle Paul says, “Consider your calling.” Today’s teaching takes some time for those considerations and ascertains the calling the apostles had in mind. 

Apostolic directives for slaves and their owners in the Roman world have modern implications for discipleship today. This study from Ephesians 6 teaches us about Distinction Theology, discipleship, and the service of Hashem.

Study is the highest form of worship. Here's a talk about Torah study for Shabbat Bereishit, encouraging us all to get more serious and more disciplined in our daily Bible studies. 

The path of discipleship is a narrow one and the cost of discipleship is high. Before committing to the path, Yeshua tells us to count the cost. Here's a teaching about the conflict between our value system and that of the world around us that asks the question, "Why are you religious?"

Why does Paul tell the Gentile disciples in Ephesus that they must no longer live as Gentiles? What's that supposed to mean? In what way are Gentile disciples of Yeshua supposed to live like Jews? The answer may surprise you. 

What does the normal disciple of Messiah look like? Here's a challenging teaching on the difference between the average disciple of Yeshua and the normal disciple of Yeshua.

If you just want to fit in with everyone and go with the flow, discipleship probably is not going to work for you. Disciples of Yeshua are consistently part of the minority and outside the concensus of social norms. Why is that? Here's a quick teaching on the concept of "the Fear of the LORD" and how God punishes the wicked by water and fire. 

Is there a difference between the "Holy Spirit" and the "Spirit of Hashem"? Here's a quick overview on the meaning and significance of the Holy Spirit in the life of a disciple of Yeshua of Nazareth.  

Why can't we see God? Why is he concealed from us? Before becoming a disciple, it's a good idea to find out what we believe. Here's a quick study on the existence of God, his transcendence, and the nature of reality. Listen to the audio and/or download the PDF version of the teaching below.
