Bread Crumbs - Ruths Shavuot Journey
What does the story of Ruth have to do with Shavuot (Pentecost)? Everything! As Israel made its 50-day journey from Egypt to Mt.Sinai in the wilderness, so Ruth made a journey from the wilderness to the Promised Land. Israel left Egypt because ...
Passover (Part 1) - Insights Into the Passover Lamb
Of all the biblical holy days we will discuss in this series, Passover is by far the most robust in its spiritual depth, tradition, richness, and beauty. (Though Yom Kippur does run a close second!) Hence, this is just the installment of a mini...
Tehillim Talks - Psalm 77
Can't sleep? Has stress stolen away your peace of mind? Are you so worried and troubled over some issue that your eyes just won't stay closed? Asaph knew this feeling well and penned this poignant psalm that not only addresses this common human...
The Tabernacle - Part 2: The Ark of the Covenant
Though the Ark of the Covenant is thought of as one object, the Torah actually describes it as two: the box + the cover. Why is it important to recognize this? And what connection does the Ark have with Joseph in Egypt? Join us on a fascinating...
Tehillim Talks: Psalm 76
"Fear of God is the beginning of wisdom" (Psalm 111:10/Proverbs 4:7). But later we are told that "perfect love casts out fear" (1John 4:18). So how can we fear God and love Him at the same time? And what is fear of God really? How do these two ...
Bread Crumbs: "Enoughness"
"Enoughness" is a word Robin coined to describe the experience of those who depend upon God for provision when there appears to be "nothingness". In this discussion, we consider Yeshua's feeding of the 5,000 and how God brings forth from the sp...
Divine Appointments - Purim
Purim (aka The Feast of Esther) is one of the most enigmatic of the biblical holidays. It is based upon the book of Esther - a book in which God's name is not mentioned...or, is it? Join us for a fascinating journey through the hidden treasures...
Tabernacle - Part 1: Introduction
Of all the topics in the Bible, none receive more attention than the Tabernacle/Temple. Why is this so vitally important? It is because every single concept in the Bible is illustrated in its plan and details. Think of the Tabernacle as the "Il...
Tehillim Talks - Psalm 75
Psalm 75 is God's response to the outcry of Psalm 74. This psalm uses some vivid imagery (horns, strong wine, ladders) to express its power. In these brief ten verses, God provides relief to all the suffering described previously. Come join us ...
Tehillim Talks - Psalm 74
In this psalm Asaph asks, "God, where are You? Why don't You do something? Why have you forgotten us?" Asaph asks the honest questions that we have all had at one time or another. But hidden in this psalm is the answer to these same questions, ...
Bread Crumbs: Spiritual Modesty
How much about our spiritual lives should we share with others? On the one hand, we are to be witnesses of God's work in our lives. But, on the other, can we over share? Where lies the balance? Join Grant and Robin in an intriguing conversation...
Tehillim Talks - Psalm 73
This psalm begins the "Leviticus Book" of psalms, so it is appropriate that this (and the following ten psalms) should be composed by a Levitical priest. Its author, Asaph, decries the wrong in the world and the suffering of his people. In fact...
Divine Appointments - The Secret of the Dreidel
The humble dreidel gets little attention in teachings about Hanukkah, but this simple children's toy is actually filled with spiritual significance. Some may ask: "Would God really use such a silly Jewish tradition to communicate deep spiritual...
Tehillim Talks - Psalm 72
Psalm 72 concludes the second "book" of Psalms - the "Exodus Book", and it was written for Solomon, the son of David. But this psalm also seems to foreshadow the great Son of David, Messiah. But how can we be sure? Can we know the true identity...
Divine Appointments - Hanukkah
Why don't Christians observe Hanukkah?! It is the day that Yeshua stood on the Temple Mount and publicly proclaimed Himself as the Messiah. (It's right there in John's gospel - chapter 10.) And yet, this major event is largely ignored by the Ch...
Tehillim Talks - Psalm 71
Do you ever feel that time is slipping by way too quickly? That you are growing old and no longer have much to offer? Is so, then this psalm was written for you. David was advanced in years when he composed Psalm 71, and in it he expresses how ...
Bread Crumbs - "Laughing Matters"
Laughter is a serious subject in the Torah, and the laughing that takes place in Genesis falls into five distinct categories. Join Grant and Robin as they delve into the difference between healthy and unhealthy forms of laughter ... and maybe s...

If you have been blessed by The Siddur Project, then you will certainly be blessed to meet Gary & Lynne Preston in this episode of Be Out Guest. The Prestons live in Ramsgate, England and we had the privilege of hosting them in our home. So...
Tehillim Talks - Psalm 70
If you experience a bit of "deja vu" reading this psalm, there is a good reason. Psalm 70 is almost identical to Psalm 40. Why does the Bible contain two nearly identical psalms? There are two main theories, but one is better than the other (in...
Divine Appointments - Sukkot
In the fall of the year we celebrate the Feast of Sukkot, also known as the Feast of Tabernacles (or "Booths"). What is the spiritual significance of this seventh holy day which occurs in the seventh month and lasts for seven days? And why does...

Bread Crumbs: A Question of Life or Death
Why must we be commanded by God to choose life? What is the nature of a blessing? Or of a curse? What is so special about the month of Elul as we approach Rosh Hashanah and the High Holly Days? Join Grant and Robin as they discuss these and oth...
Divine Appointments - Yom Kippur
What is the significance of Yom Kippur, and does this day have significance for the Messianic/Christian today? What was theologically incorrect about John the Immerser's statement, "Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world"? A...
Tehillim Talks - Psalm 69
Psalm 69 is the most quoted psalm in the New Testament scriptures. It is also sometimes called a twin to Psalm 22 - the crucifixion psalm, and in this psalm we can clearly hear the voice of Messiah. Come along for a fascinating journey through ...
