Does Genesis 1 require a solid dome over the earth? The Hebrew word raqia is commonly translated “firmament” or “expanse.” This teaching examines Genesis 1:6–8 and related passages to ask what the Hebrew wording actually requires.Along the way, we consider Psalm 19, Job 37:18, Ezekiel 1:22, and the history of Greek, Latin, and English translations. Rather than imposing modern scientific categories onto Genesis, we test the claim that the text itself describes a solid physical vault.Key ScripturesGenesis 1:6–8; Genesis 1:14–20; Psalm 19:1; Job 37:18; Ezekiel 1:22; Daniel 12:3TakeawayGenesis calls the raqia heaven or sky; the teaching argues that the Hebrew wording does not require a solid dome.

Should Christians celebrate Halloween? In Children of Light on the Darkest Night, we examine what Scripture says about occult practices, the works of darkness, and what it means for YHWH's people to walk as children of light.Rather than relying on disputed claims about Halloween's origins, this teaching focuses on what the holiday celebrates today, what our participation teaches our children, and how families can respond with discernment, humility, and love. While Scripture does not specifically address Halloween, its principles challenge us to consider what pleases YHWH and how we can give our families something better than fear.Key Scriptures: Deuteronomy 18:9–14; Ephesians 5:8–11; 1 John 1:5–7Takeaway: Walking in the light is about more than what we refuse to celebrate. It is about how we live, what we teach our children, and whom our lives reflect.

Does Colossians 2:16-17 teach believers to leave the Sabbath and biblical festivals behind? Paul says, “Let no one judge you,” but the passage never explicitly states why the Colossians were being judged. This teaching responds to Andrew Farley’s interpretation and examines the surrounding context, the opponents’ human regulations and bodily self-denial, the meaning of “food or drink,” the “shadow of things to come,” and scholarship arguing that the Colossians may actually have been criticized for observing these practices. TakeawayColossians 2:16-17 does not explicitly say believers were being criticized for refusing to observe Sabbaths and festivals. Reading the passage in its wider context opens another plausible interpretation and raises important questions about what Paul means by a “shadow of the things to come.”

Does Hebrews 10:26 mean what it says?Some claim this warning isn't directed toward Christians at all. Others argue that believers can continue living in deliberate sin without concern because they are eternally forgiven. But does the author of Hebrews support that conclusion? In this teaching, we respond to Matt McMillen's interpretation of Hebrews 10:26 by examining the passage in its immediate and broader biblical context. We explore who the warning is addressed to, what it means to "go on sinning deliberately," and why Scripture consistently calls believers to repentance, perseverance, and faithful obedience. Scriptures Hebrews 10:19–31  Hebrews 3:13–14  Romans 6:1–2  Ephesians 1:13  1 Timothy 2:3–4  Hebrews 10:10–14  Hebrews 10:28–29  1 John 2:1–2  TakeawayGrace is not a license to continue in deliberate sin. Hebrews warns believers to remain faithful to Messiah, take sin seriously, and endure in faith until the end. 

What must I do to be saved? This teaching explores the Bible's complete answer to that question by examining sin, grace, faith, repentance, baptism, the Holy Spirit, and the life believers are called to live through Messiah Yeshua. TakeawaySalvation is the gift of God through Messiah Yeshua. We are saved by grace through faith, and genuine faith produces a life that increasingly walks in God's ways.
