The Word Is Grace

"The Word Is Grace" is brought to you by The Carpenter's Shop, located at 1201 East Elmore Street in Crawfordsville, Indiana. Our Sabbath services begin at 3:30 every Saturday afternoon. Listen with us as Bible teachers Jim Denman and Tim Terry examine our faith in Messiah Yeshua (Christ Jesus), with a Hebraic perspective. What did Jesus eat? How did He dress? Is the Torah still valid to believers today? Did He really say that there are only two laws that we have to follow now? Did God change His requirements for salvation after the cross? Is the Sabbath on Sunday or Saturday; was it changed? Join us as we seek answers to these questions, with balance and a humble reverence for God's Word.

"The Last Chapter of John" John 21

Download this episode (48 min)  
Well, it took about a year to get here, and now we find ourselves in the last chapter of John.The lessons just keep coming in the final words written by the "one whom Jesus loved."
Peter still had some things that needed to be addressed by Yeshua, and Yeshua wasted no time in bringing it out in the open. "Do you love Me?" He asked. Peter did love Him. Peter loved Him with all of his heart; but Peter made mistakes, just like the rest of us. The important thing to notice here is that Yeshua refuses to let Peter's mistake be buried in the past; Yeshua loves Peter far too much for that. Peter had been caught with his foot in his mouth - he had experienced a major failure. Our Savior is not seen in the final chapter of John, letting Peter's failure get the best of him. On the contrary, we see Yeshua bringing Peter to restoration.
Yeshua knew that Peter loved Him; He knew that he was broken. He also knew the words that Peter wanted, and needed to hear: "Follow Me."
The same thing rings true for the lost through out the world today. They want and need to know that Messiah is beckoning to them, "Follow Me."
When that call is answered, we come to realize that there is Hope after failure, and there is still an open invitation to follow Him after we mess things up.
Thank God for John's gospel, and Peter's story.

We will be starting the book of Galatians next week, here on The Word is Grace. The name will be "TWIG - The Word is Grace" so if you are downloading via iTunes, we will still show up as The Word Is Grace, with the TWIG prefix. We will be switching to a new podcast site, so don't be alarmed at the changes in the podcast website. I will be transfering our web address and some other things, so if you experience any difficulty in downloading a particular episode, please contact me at: romans833@yahoo.com.
We're looking forward to starting a new book with you!

May the Lord bless you and keep you,

Shabbat Shalom!

"The Tomb is Still Empty" John 20

Download this episode (81 min)  
Do you realize that Yeshua's empty tomb is the most important difference between His followers and the followers of every other religeous figure? Yeshua's tomb is still empty. Muhammad's body lies in Madina, Saudi Arabis. Buddha's body was cremated and the ashes buried throughout India. Joseph Smith, founder of Mormonism, is buried in Nauvoo, Illinois. Messiah Yeshua however, does not lie in a grave. His body was never cremated, nor were His "remains" ever enshrined on a family plot. The reason is simple: His is still alive. His tomb will never be occupied by His body. His body is alive and well, sitting at the right hand of the Father.
As we finsih up this week's Passover Festival, may we never forget that He is very much alive today! Our Savior still intercedes for His sheep, and He still seeks out the ones who are lost.

May the Lord bless you and keep you,

Shabbat Shalom!

"The Hanged One" John 19:20 - 42

Download this episode (61 min)  
Many Jewish people today refer to Yeshua as "The Hanged One." They call Him that because Torah states "cursed is every man who is hanged on a tree." It is not too hard to see their issue with Yeshua's death. After all, how could a man who became cursed before God be the Messiah? How could our Salvation be in the form of a man who died such a death?
We are at the section of John that is the most difficult to read. We know that it was our sins that drove Him there and the curse of our sin that He took upon Himself. We must never forget that He went there by His own free will; He could have backed out, and left us in our sin. He could have backed out, and wiped out those who spit on Him and struck Him. He could have... but He didn't. He was looking forward to all that was to come after the cross; the restoration of all things. He was looking at you and me, two thousand years in the future without a Savior, and He loved us so much that He could not let that happen. And that was His motivation for doing what He did - love.
As we enter into this Passover season, may we all stop and think about what He had to go through in order for us to have eternal life. All that He had to accomplish in order for us to have joy and peace. may we never forget that the Hanged One didn't have to go to the cross at all, but He did so because He loves us.
He is referred to today as the Hanged One by some, and He was indeed hung on a cross, but we know Him as our Salvation, Yeshua. He is the Hanged One, but He is also the Passover Lamb that was slain for our transgressions. The Mighty One of Israel, the Prince of Peace, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Who Was Who Is and Who Is To Come; Adonai (LORD), the Word Made Flesh, Alpha and Omega, the Bridegroom, the Beginning and the End...

May the Lord bless you and keep you,

Shabbat Shalom!

"No Crime, No Guilt, No Charge" John 19:1-19

Download this episode (54 min)  
The inscription that Pilot had placed on our Messiah’s cross read “Jesus, King of the Jews.” That was His crime… no crime at all.
There were probably more than a million Jews coming into the Jerusalem that day to celebrate Pesach, better known as Passover. There were a thousand priests taking the lambs for sacrifice. The people making their way into the city were confronted with an all too familiar site; three crosses, with three men hanged and left to die. This time was different though. This year, their Passover Lamb was not just an animal that they had purchased at the Temple. Their Lamb was hanging on one of the crosses they had walked by. Like the Passover lamb, Yeshua was inspected and found without blemish. He was innocent, yet His blood was shed for our sins. For those who believed on Him, Passover would never be the same.
Passover will be here on April the 8th. What is different about that night for you? Have you applied the blood of our Pesach Lamb to the door posts of your heart? If not, it is not too late; He wants to take up residence within you! If you have already applied the blood, then make it a point this year to recognize this most spectacular Holiday! There are so many pictures of Christ in the Passover Feast that it I can not begin to list them all. You will be blessed by having done so.

May the Lord bless you and keep you,

Shabbat Shalom!

"Mishna, Motorcycles, Man or Chicken?" John 18:14-40

Download this episode (58 min)  
Picture it in your head; Peter has just denied the Messiah for the third time, and the rooster crows in the distance...
Does the image in your head include the 'cock-a-doodle-do' of a rooster? According to the Mishna, there were no chickens in Jerusalem. This poses a problem in light of the Gospel account, which says that a rooster crowed immediately after the third time Peter denied Christ... or does it? The Mishna goes on to say that the "cock crowing" was a man who called out with a loud voice that the Temple sacrifices were about to begin.
Of course, this does not change the story, but it does put a different image in your head!
This week, we also learn about Jesus being traded for Barabbas - a man, who's name coincidently means "son of the father." in Aramaic. There is also reason to believe that Barabbas' name was Jesus. Jesus Barabbas. How interesting it is that Jesus, the Son of our Father in heaven was crucified in place of "Jesus, Son of the Father" the robber.
...So where do motorcycles come into the equation? You'll have to download to find out!

May the Lord bless you and keep you,

Shabbat Shalom!

"I AM That I AM" John 18:1-13

Download this episode (46 min)  
A kiss. Of all the ways that Judas could betray our Messiah, he chose to do it with a kiss. Peter answers the betrayal with a sword to the High Priest's servant's ear. Jesus answers Peter's action with another miraculous healing. The mob asks where Jesus of Nazareth is, and He answers them with “I AM,” an answer that drops them, to the ground at His feet.
I AM. With those two words, Yeshua was telling them that He is none other than the God of Israel. The God who created the very ground that they just landed on. And with those two words, He was letting them know that He was the one in control of the situation. He alone was the one calling the shots. He alone was allowing Himself to be “taken.”

We are in the middle of the most incredible love story ever told. As we start chapter 18 of John, keep in mind that He allowed these things to happen. He did these things for us. He is wanting to answer the questions of our hearts today also; questions like, “Why am I here? What is the meaning of life? Is there a God? What happens when I die?”

You can have peace in your life today by placing your faith in the one who answered “I AM.” He IS, and in Him we can have eternal life. Are you going to put your trust in this Jesus of Nazareth? ...I am.

May the Lord bless you and keep you,

Shabbat Shalom!

"ONE. Different, but ONE" John 17:23-26

Download this episode (56 min)  
We are one. Paul says that we are of one faith, one God, being one body. What about our doctrinal differences, you might ask? There will be differences. What about this or that thing that they believe... and I know it to be wrong? Again, I say, there will be differences.
This is not a call to blind ecumenicalism, nor is it a call for us to leave all good teaching at the door. This is a call to be one as Yeshua is one with the Father – there are differences, but there is undeniable Oneness. Jesus didn't send the Father, and the Father didn't die on the cross – but they are one.
Our differences should not separate us from fellowship with other believers. If we, in the Messianic community begin to think that we are superior to other believers because of our Torah observance, or our reverence for the Sabbath, and that knowledge divides us from fellowship with those around us, we have missed the mark. We are called to be one.
We finish the Lord's prayer today with some tough lessons; some harsh realities. We are faced with the realization that the very body of Messiah, whom He prays for, has been torn apart in a sense. We can look around and see that denominations and differences have made us into a divided and scattered shell of a unit – we have lost our “oneness!”
...Or have we?
Let's allow ourselves to be challenged today. Lets view ourselves as one, in spite of our differences. Not that we should “buddy up” with sin. That is not at all what I mean. But as brothers and sisters in Messiah, lets make it a point to recognize that we are one with our Pentecostal, Baptist, Presbyterian (fill in the blank) brothers, and start acting like it. If we can not meet anywhere but the blood of Christ... isn't that enough?

May the Lord bless you and keep you,

Shabbat Shalom!

"Lord, Insulate the Ductwork." John 17:12-23

Download this episode (67 min)  
As we continue studying Yeshua’s prayer, we encounter some startling things that are often overlooked by the church as a whole. First, we see that He wasn’t praying for the world as a whole. Quite the contrary, He says that He was specifically praying for those that the Father had given Him; and believers of today! How exciting it is to know that we, as believers were literally in His prayer! Also, we see that He didn’t want His followers to be isolated form the world, but to remain in the world. He prays that the Father would “not take them out of the world, but protect them from the evil one. Sort of like… ductwork. Yes, like ductwork. I’ll leave it to you to download this week’s episode to find out what I am talking about!
May the Lord bless you and keep you,

Shabbat Shalom!

"The REAL 'Lord's Prayer'" John 17:1 - 11

Download this episode (64 min)  
Welcome back to The Word Is Grace!

When you think of "the Lord's Prayer" what usually comes to mind? If you are like most believers, the words, "Our Father, who art in heaven..." immediately come to mind. Of course, this is how Jesus told His disciples that they should pray, but how and what did HE pray? The answer is in John Chapter 17. In this prayer, Jesus allows us to hear exactly what He prayed for - and what He did not pray for. For instance, He prayed for you, the believer in 2009, listening to this podcast... but He didn't pray for the world as a whole! How can that be? didn't God "so love the world that He gave His only begotten Son?" Yes... but He prays for those who are His in His last hours.
come with us as we look at this intense section of Yeshua's thoughts and prayers - you will be surprised by what He says, and what He does not say. We will also be taking a look at the concept of being "one" with Him, as He is "one" with the Father. How does that work?
We would like to thank the visitors who drove such long distances to be with us this Sabbath; your presence was really a blessing to our congregation, and we would like to see you all again!

Thanks for listening to The Word Is Grace,

Shabbat Shalom!

"Any Questions?" John 16:17 - 33

Download this episode (53 min)  
In these last few moments of Yeshua's life, He tells the disciples that there is coming a day when they will “ask Him nothing.” The disciples were still wondering whether or not Yeshua was the Son of God, and He tells them that there is coming a time when they will no longer wrestle with who He is. How could they still be questioning such a thing? Didn't they know who He was? Is He not God?
Let's look at what our Master has to say, in these most crucial passages of scripture – the very last words that He left with His followers before submitting Himself to the cross.

Thanks for joining us on the Word Is Grace.

"An Apocalyptic Hanukkah Interlude"

Download this episode (74 min)  
This week, we have a belated Hanukkah special for you! We are going to segway from our study in the book of John to bring you a special Torah Portion teaching from Sharrah Badgley, and another timely message from Tim Terry on Matthew 24, so don't stop listening when Sharra finishes! Tim still has a lot to say.

Torah Portion: Miketz, Genesis 41-44:17.
There are many who believe that we are in the last days. There is a huge famine coming our way, and believe it or not, that is good news for us! Joseph was placed in a position to preserve life during the famine of his day. he was placed there because of his obedience, and fear of God. We are quickly racing toward a similar famine, only this time it will be a famine of hearing God's Word. We need to be in God's Word; we need to light the lights (like in Hanukkah!) in the "people of the land."
There are hard times coming, but like the Maccabees, and Joseph, we are given an opportunity to serve the one who is in sovereign over all.

Tim Terry is going to go over the 24th chapter of Matthew this week. The parallels of the Maccabees and Joseph's lives and circumstances are remarkable when put along side that of the last generation. There will be choices to make, but one thing is certain, "do not be deceived!"
How do we keep from being deceived?" Would we know if we were? We must know how to stay focused on Messiah in these times...

Thanks for joining us on The Word Is Grace. If you would like to engage in some discussion with members of our community, please look for The Carpenter's Shop on Facebook.

"Sin, righteousness and judgment" John 16:1-16

Download this episode (67 min)  
Thanks for stopping by The Word is Grace. Before I get any emails asking what happened to our sound quality this week, let me explain why we sound the way we do this week. It all started with an upset stomach, sore throat and a bad headache. Before I knew it, my wife was telling me that I should not bring my 'bug' into the church, so I put my ten year old son in charge of recording the teaching. He did an excellent job. He set up the laptop, opened the programs, plugged into the sound system just like I told him; which was precisely what went wrong. ...I told him to plug the microphone into the wrong jack. He followed my flawed instructions to a "T" and the outcome was not so good.
I thank God that our Master never gave us flawed instructions! We have quite the opposite problem in the church today - perfect instructions, with flawed interpretations. And of course, as a whole, the outcome is not so good.
This week's podcast deals with some pretty difficult statements made by our Savior. He tells His disciples that He will be leaving, but that it is a good thing, because that is the only way He can send His Spirit. This in its self is an odd concept, but He adds, "He (the Holy Spirit) will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment."
What did He mean by such a statement? How are we convicted of sin, righteousness and judgment? Is there a deeper meaning to this then what we read on the surface? Have we maybe heard this before, and because of 'flawed listening' misinterpreted it?

Thanks again for listening,
Shabbat Shalom!

"Who Chose Who?” John 15:11 - 27

Download this episode (60 min)  
Did you choose Jesus, or did He choose you? The answer seems to be... yes! In one sense, we as believers have chosen to follow Yeshua as our Master, yet He Himself says that He chose us; Paul adds; “before the foundations of the world.”
Calvinists have a field day with these words. The truth is that anyone who knows scripture well can successfully argue both points of the 'predestination' argument. He did choose us. We did make a choice to follow Him.
The crux of the issue is not predestination though. The true issue is whether or not we abide in Him. Are we willing to lay everything aside and follow Him with our whole heart. Mind and body? That is the heart of the matter. Like Joshua said, we must choose this day whom we will serve. Lets make it a point to answer like he did when he said: As for me and my house, we will serve the lord.

UPDATE: If you encounter a problem downloading the podcast, contact me at: romans833@yahoo.com, with “TWIG” in the subject. I will send you a link to a direct download until the problem is solved.

Thanks for listening to The Word Is Grace,
Shabbat Shalom, and happy Hanukkah!

"It doesn't end at grace... there's more" John 15:1 - 10

Download this episode (60 min)  
Do the people you come in contact with know that you are a believer? Does your Christian walk consist of a prayer you said in the past, having no real effect in your day to day life?
Yeshua expects us to came as we are. Every believer has one thing in common - we were lost in sin before coming to know our Savior. Whether we were hard-core drug abusers or white collar office-supply-snatchers, we were lost in sin.
God's Spirit called each of us, "while we are yet still sinners," but we are not to remain as we were found.
Jesus said that we are to abide in Him as He abides in the Father. If we call ourselves His followers and friends, yet have not had a significant change in our lives that reflects what He has done... something is wrong!
Join us as we listen to these convicting words spoken by Yeshua in His last few hours before going to the cross.

He commands us to "remain in the Father's love."
The question is not only obvious, but convicting... are we?
Shabbat Shalom!

"If you love Me..." John 14:16 - 31

Download this episode (52 min)  
In last week's podcast, Jesus said that if we love Him, we will obey him. The thought is continued in this week's message. Do we really love Him? I know that I have written about this more than once in these introductions, but as long as our Messiah keeps bring it up, I feel like it is worth driving home. Having said that, I will ask again, do we really love Him? Do we really obey His words?

Jesus said that the words that He speaks are not His own, but those of the Father. This begs the question, "what are the Father's words?" This is more challenging then you would first expect... or is it? We know that wrapped up in the words of the Father are the very Laws of Torah - all of those statutes and instructions that Moses gave in the first five books of the bible. Do those count? Remember, there are traditionally 613 Laws in the "Old Testament" but did you know that (according to one commentary) there are 1050 in the "New Testament." Yes, 1050.
It is definitely worth thinking about, especially if we intend to please our Master!
Shabbat Shalom guys, may the Lord bless you!

"Claim it in Jesus' Name!" John 14:13 - 16

Download this episode (83 min)  
"If you shall ask for anything in My Name, I will do it."
If this were the only verse in the bible that you had read, what would you make of it? It wouldn't take too long to realize that there are some stipulations to what is being asked, would it?
Yet when you turn on the television today, it seems that there are more and more preachers telling people that they can claim some pretty outrageous things in Jesus' name. "God wants you to be wealthy; claim it in Jesus' name!" goes the mantra of modern televangelism.
But is that what our Master meant? What about the countless millions who have nothing? What are we to make of believers in third world countries, who live their entire lives serving the Messiah, and yet live in shacks, and eat handouts?
In the context of scripture as a whole, it is clear that there is no formula for "getting what you want" simply for the sake of getting what you want (otherwise, we would all be wealthy and in good health). When our lives begin to emulate that of our Master, the "what I want" prayers will turn into "what He wants" prayers. The desires of our hearts will reflect the desires of our Father in heaven. What does He desire? Lets make it a priority to find out... then claim it in Yeshua's name!

Shabbat Shalom!

"Show Us The Father, and Deyanu” John 14:7- 12

Download this episode (50 min)  
We're back! Actually, Mypodcast.com's servers are back after three days of down time. We apologize for any inconvenience, and are currently searching for a more stable host for our weekly sermon (any listener input is welcome).

Phillip asks our LORD, “show us the Father, and it will be enough (deyanu)” to which Yeshua replies, “have I been with you this long, and you still don’t know Me?”
Are Yeshua (Jesus) and the Father one and the same? In Messianic circles, there is quite a bit of discussion concerning the deity of our Master, or to be more specific; is Jesus God?
We believe unequivocally, that Yeshua is indeed God in the flesh – He is none other than God Himself. Does He share the same attributes as the Father though? The Father and the Son are one, but are there differences in what can be said of each?

Thank you for joining us as we discuss this pressing topic on The Word Is Grace,
Shabbat Shalom!

"How Can We Know The Way?” John 13:18 - 14:6

Download this episode (62 min)  
How can we know the Way? Yeshua answers the question with thee famous passage, “I Am the Way, the Truth and the Life.” Yeshua is saying that He is the ONLY way to the Father. When read in light of the account in Genesis, we know that He is also the Way back to the Garden of Eden, and ultimately the Tree of Life.

It is obvious from the disciples’ replies that they often were left scratching their heads after Yeshua shared deep Truths with them. They always seem to miss the point, don’t they? Do we really “get it” though? Do our lives show a lost world that we possess the knowledge of the Way back to the Father? Do we look and act like people who know the only way to the Garden; to the Tree of Life? I don’t know about you, by I could use some help in all of those areas!

"Wash my hands… and my head, LORD” John 12:39 - 13:17

Download this episode (70 min)  
This week's edition of The Word Is Grace is powerful. Peter refuses to let Yeshua wash his feet, saying "you will never wash my feet!" and Yeshua replies, Peter, "if I don't wash you, you have no part in me."
"Wash my head and hands also then, Lord" was Peter's conclusion.
What is the big deal with washing their feet? Is there something more to this story then just washing another person's dirty feet? A deeper meaning? We think so.

This week's story leads us into the final moments of Messiah's life on earth - and it is startling to find Him concerned with those around Him, rather than himself. Even to the end, He loved the people He had chosen with utmost selflessness.

Let God's Word enter your heart as you listen to these scriptures. Let the reality of what is getting ready to happen to Him sink in - we, as believers must never lose sight of the enormous price He paid for us.

Thanks for listening to The Word Is Grace,
Shabbat Shalom!

The Word Is Grace,

Your feedback is welcome and greatly appreciated. Just click on the "MAKE A COMMENT" link under each post and let us know what you think!

Here at the Carpenter's Shop, we believe Yeshua when He states in Matthew 5:17 "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill." We have come to know that our Messiah, Yeshua (Jesus), was a Torah observant, Jewish Rabbi who will one day return to reign from David's throne in Jerusalem. We believe that we are saved by the redemptive work that Yeshua accomplished on the cross; we are saved by the grace of God (Hashem), not by observing Torah. We observe Torah because we are saved, out of obedience to God's Word.

If you are unfamiliar with Hebraic Roots teaching, please check out any of the first eight posts. They are segments from our weekly radio program that ran in 2007, and cover some of the basic ideas behind the drive to understand the scriptures from a 1st Century Hebraic perspective.
