What does it mean to honor our parents? Listen in on this teaching as Derek shares the importance of preserving our parents dignity (Commandment 5) while at the same time not putting our family before Elohim (Commandment 1).

A good brother and friend of ours recently asked, “why do you think Messiah said He only came for the lost sheep of the house of Israel?” Messiah came to seek and to save the lost. Just as the shepherd leaves the 99 to go after the one lost sheep, so Messiah came to restore His family into one sheep…
In a world of increasing separation, there is one group of people who are becoming united more than ever – the body of Messiah Yahushua (Jesus). As the world calls for separation from each other in the name of preventing the spread of the COVID-19 virus, our resurrected King is sitting on His throne and deeply calling for the completion…

Yochanan (John) the beloved sat so close to Messiah at the dinner table that evening that he was able to rest his head upon His chest. He wanted to hear what was on His Master’s heart. It was revealed to John that Judas would be the one who would betray his Master. Birthed from an intimate moment with Yahushua, this…
This podcast addresses the increase in knowledge per Daniel 12:4. Without a love for the truth of Elohim’s (God’s) Word, having the knowledge of good and evil without His Spirit to show us the difference between the two, will lead us to abandon our relational love for others, God and even ourselves. The quality of the relationships in our lives…
As I sat and read 2 Kings 16-20, I wept because Yahuweh (the Lord) is looking for people like Hezekiah who did not back down from the face of the enemy but stood up before him with a trust only in his Elohim to deliver. In these passages, we see how the chosen people of Elohim (God) went astray in…
Do our lives reflect the love of the Master shed abroad in our hearts? Romans 5:5 Click <HERE> to Watch!
Over the past year, I found myself on a journey that I never expected. Hidden things brought to the light because of the goodness of a Father who sees the end from the beginning. Walking in the freedom of living in the light is a daily process—a daily decision. The hardest part of being free is not in that critical…

“And they sang a renewed song before the throne, and before the four living creatures, and the elders. And no one was able to learn that song except the hundred and forty-four thousand who were redeemed from the earth.” – Revelation 14:3 Dearest Readers, I have always wondered what that renewed song sounds like. What are the words? What is…
This is a special Yom Teruah message on the purpose of why Messiah said that loving your neighbor is the fulfillment of the law. Not only did He come to demonstrate how to love, but to remind us that the “Law” has not gone away because it is the basic instructions on how to love people and Elohim. As the…

Listen as Derek expounds on the “love chapter” of 1 Corinthians 13. Love is not a gushy feeling, with as many up’s and down’s as a wild rollercoaster. No! Love is the power of sustainment and all that will remain when everything else around us collapses. It is the identifying mark of our loyalty as a disciple of the Master,…

John 11 contains probably one of the most powerful stories in all of Scripture – The raising of Lazarus. I remember my mom telling me the time she had gone to see the movie, The Greatest Story Ever Told. She said when it came time for the intermission, no one in the theater got up or even moved. You see,…
