Illumination: Hebrew Insights

Join Heather as we go back to the 1st Century to delve into the Incarnation story. Who was Caesar Augustus? How about Herod the Great? They exist both in secular and biblical history, so how does that merge?

Prophecy, Yeshua, Salvation, Miriam, Yosef.

Listen for artistic and historical renditions and compare the biblical account.

Merry Christ-mass, Friends.

Listen to a myriad of prophecies fulfilled simply by the conception, birth, and early months of the Messiah. Let this episode enrich your celebration of the Incarnation. Merry Christmas, Friends.

Join Illumination as we unpack the season of Advent, it's history and meaning. Christmas preparation can be frenzied and frantic. Advent or “aventus” is Latin which means “arrival.” We await the arrival of the Messiah each year. Prepare your heart for the Hope, Peace, Joy and Love that awaits all who believe,

Let's spend a moment reflecting on why we give our money, time and resources. Join Illumination as we dig into scriptural references and examples of lavish and scant giving. Which are each of us?

One of our smaller body parts can get us in so much trouble: the tongue. What comes out of our mouths reveal what is in our hearts. How can this be? Do we speak impeccably? Or carelessly? Join Illumination as we explore a teaching from James (Jacob) and Jesus, with the goal of taming this little muscle!

Jodi joins Heather again, this time to share her story of sharing the Gospel message this past summer. If you had a captive audience, what would you say? Are you ready with an answer? 1 Peter 3:15 Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect. 

Join Illumination in the continuation of the Feasts of the LORD series. This first of the fall festivals, Yom Teruah or Rosh HaShanah focuses greatly on the Book of Life and repentance. This day also begins the 10 Days of Awe, a period of self-examination leading up to Yom Kippur.

And yet, there is messianic future fulfillment in this God ordained commemoration. Listen to past, present and future in this 5th of the 7 moedim.

Continue to explore the 7 Feasts of the LORD. Join Heather on the 4th Feast, Shavuot, a second harvest celebration. This Shavuot contains powerful biblical fulfillment with an impactful Christian parallel in the Church day of Pentecost. The Wind of God, His very Breath, His Spirit poured out for all who believe. Come Lord Jesus!

Experience our third feast, and though you may not have heard of it, believe me, you have! It's merely under a different name. Learn the original designation, plus God's prophetic meaning. This is the most overlooked feast, yet of paramount importance. Explore!

Begin to unpack the first two Feasts of the LORD, Passover and Unleavened Bread. These moedim, appointed times, have great significance in the Bible, both Old and New Testaments, with an overarching theme of redemption.

FInd Yeshua in each as we begin to understand God's plan of redemption for humanity; what was, what is, and what is to come.

What are the 7 Feasts of the LORD?

Explore what Leviticus 23 is talking about as we discover Jesus' fulfillment in 4 Feasts, yet future fulfillment in 3. This is the perfect supplement to Resurrection Sunday. The Tanakh or Hebrew Bible or Old Testament was written to point to Jesus.

Our show and tell God had and has great plans for humanity!

Join Heather with friends, Kathy & Wendy, as they process chapters 9-12 of The Bible vs Biblical Womanhood. This segment covers troublesome translations in:

• 1 Peter 3:1-7 • 1 Timothy 2:8-15 • 1 Timothy 3 • Titus 1-2

Again, listen, look up the passages, research and pray.

God has much to teach each of us!

Join Heather with 2 more friends, Bethel and Dianne, as they unpack chapters 5-8 of Dr. Philip B. Payne's book, The Bible vs. Biblical Womanhood. These four chapters cover the following contested biblical verses about women in ministry:

• 1 Corinthians 11
• 1 Corinthians 14:34-35
• Ephesians 5:21-23 Again, listen, read, and pray. God has much to teach us all.

Join Illumination as Karl brings another array of archeological findings to the table. The Israelites in Egypt, though refuted by many archeologists, were actually there 3400 years ago. The evidence is compelling and the evidence doesn't lie!
