Ephesians 5:21-6:9 – New Halakah – The Importance of Relationships Ephesians 5:21-6:9 – New Halakah – The Importance of Relationships Ephesians 5:21-6:9 - New Halakah - The Importance of Relationships [35:52] by Roy Schwarcz http://www.royschwarcz.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Ephesians_521.mp3 We have been considering the New Halakah that is outlined in Ephesians. In what appears be a change of direction, Paul describes how we relate to people we are in constant contact with. We see this in Ephesians 5:22-6:9 – Where 6 types of relationships are described. Our relationships with our: Wives – Ephesians 5:22-24, Husbands – Ephesians 5:25-33, Children – Ephesians 6:1-3, Fathers – Ephesians 6:4, Servants – Ephesians 6:5-8, Masters – Ephesians 6:9. Relationships are a

Tisha B’Av – Zechariah 8:19 Tisha B’Av – Zechariah 8:19 Tisha B’Av - Zechariah 8:19 [26:43] by Roy Schwarcz http://www.royschwarcz.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/13-Roy.mp3 Last Monday at Sundown began Tisha B’Av, the 9th day of the Jewish month of Av. It is a day of mourning for the Jewish people. Prophetically it speaks of a glorious day to come. Tisha b’Av will become a day of joy and gladness as foretold in Zechariah 8:19: These were days of mourning over historical judgments that happened to Israel. Tisha B’Av The Mishnah declares: “Five misfortunes befell our fathers … on the ninth of Av: The 12 spies sent by Moses to observe the Promised Land returned from their mission. Only two, Joshua and Caleb brought a good report. The others sowed doubt in God’s people.

Ephesians 5:15-18 – The Halakah of G-d Ephesians 5:15-18 – The Halakah of G-d Ephesians 5:15-18 - The Halakah of G-d [23:56] by Roy Schwarcz http://www.royschwarcz.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/70613-Roy.mp3 Paul urged the Ephesians to walk in a new way. In a manner worthy of their calling. The word for walk in Hebrew is Halak and is the root of the word Halakah. Halkah is the word used by Jewish people to describe God’s Law. The Torah, God’s Word or Law was given to God’s people that they might know how to walk rightly before Him and others. We belong to the Lord and as such we are to walk in a certain manner. As we continue in our study on how to walk we come to an essential element. Walking in God’s Spirit. Let’s look at Ephesians 5:15-18: Pay careful attention,

Ephesians 5:6-9 – The Halakah of G-d Ephesians 5:6-9 – The Halakah of G-d Ephesians 5:6-9 - The Halakah of G-d [26:36] by Roy Schwarcz http://www.royschwarcz.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Ephesians_5_6_9.mp3 Ephesians 5:5-7 Is it possible to be content with your sins and be a true follower of God? This is a passage that is a wake up to many who think they are Believers. We are all vulnerable to sin but this is a passage that describes those who consistently live in a way not pleasing to God. In his letter to the Galatians Paul warned us not to be deceived: “God cannot be mocked, a man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life

Ephesians 4:25-32 – The Halakah of G-d Ephesians 4:25-32 – The Halakah of G-d Ephesians 4:25-32 - The Halakah of God [32:53] by Roy Schwarcz http://www.royschwarcz.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Ephesians425-5-25-2013.mp3 The Halakah of God A key word in Ephesians is “Walk” Halak = Walk = Law, Walking Rightly is living rightly. Relationship vs Religion Ephesians 4:17-24 Two weeks ago we saw: Why walking worldly won’t work and What happens when we think and walk like the world. Abiding in Word transforms us Ephesians 4:25-32 This week we will consider how right thinking works out in our lives: The character of the new person transformed by God’s Word. Ephesians 4:25-32, Ephesians 4:29-32 God’s Provision I want to begin by reminding us of two essential things: God has

Deuteronomy 16:16 – Shavout Deuteronomy 16:16 – Shavout Deuteronomy 16:16 - Shavout [35:39] by Roy Schwarcz http://www.royschwarcz.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/shavuot.mp3 God appointed Holy Days as times for God’s people to meet with him. To remind His people of how He provided for them. To rest (sabbath). To give thanks through offerings. To repent and offer sacrifices. To read the Scriptures. The Feasts of the Lord. Three of the seven were pilgrimage feasts when all Jewish males were required to go to Jerusalem to“appear before the Lord” (Deuteronomy 16:16). Passover The First Pilgrim Holy Day. Commemorates God’s deliverance. of Israel out of slavery in Egypt. Passover is a permanent ordinance for generations to come. Observed on the 14th day of the first month

Leviticus 23:16-21 – Shavuot Leviticus 23:16-21 – Shavuot Leviticus 23:16-21 - Shavuot [55:56] by Roy Schwarcz http://www.royschwarcz.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Lev23_16_21.mp3 If you were Jewish the Law required that you go up to Jeruslaem. Shavuot is second of 3 feasts that Jews were commanded by God to present themselves before Him in the Temple in Jerusalem. Passover and Sukkot are the other two. Historical Background: Shavuot was first celebrated after the children of Israel settled in the promised land. It was a feast that called all Israel to thank God for the land and the start of the Harvest. With the destruction of the Temple, it was impossible to fulfill most of the commandments related to the feasts. So the Rabbi’s changed the meaning and message of

Ephesians 4:17-24 – The New Halakah Ephesians 4:17-24 – The New Halakah Ephesians 4:17-24 [30:03] by Roy Schwarcz http://www.royschwarcz.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/May11.mp3 The Halakah of God God created man to enjoy Him and Walk with Him. Ever since then mankind has hid from God Religion is one of the ways we hide from God. It is a like the fig leaves Religion vs Relationship Religion helps us to cover the shame we feel because of our sin. We learn about God, enjoy worship, and believe our nakedness is covered up. But when we leave our holy huddle and face the world we really haven’t been changed. Ephesians 4:17 Paul tells us that God has made provision just as in Eden. So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Genti

Genesis 26:1-35 – Genesis 27:1-10 – Abraham and Isaac Genesis 26:1-35 – Genesis 27:1-10 – Abraham and Isaac Genesis 26 - 27 - Abraham and Isaac [1:10:35] by Roy Schwarcz http://www.royschwarcz.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Genesis_26.mp3 Genesis 26:1-11 – A famine comes to the land where Isaac was living, the famine apparently did not affect the coast where the Philistines lived in the land now known as Gaza. God graciously appears to Isaac and tells him not to leave the land of promise. Note in V 5 that this blessing comes to Isaac because of Abraham’s obedience; it is easy to speculate that this is here because of his actions with Esau. In the rich tradition of his father, when Isaac comes to the land of the Philistines he does what Abraham did and says that she

Ephesians 4:1-6 – Unity In The Body of Christ Ephesians 4:1-6 – Unity In The Body of Christ Ephesians 4:1-6 - Unity In The Body of Christ [33:38] by Roy Schwarcz http://www.royschwarcz.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Ephesians4.mp3 The New Halakah Halakah is defined in Jewish tradition as rules handed down in Torah which are to guide everyday behavior. In other words it is defined as walking according to God’s revealed commands. This has not changed but we now operate under the New Covenant Jeremiah 31:31-33 Review – Because of what Messiah Yeshua had done for us we have received great blessings. We may enter into the Holy of Holies clothed with holy garments. Commissioned and entrusted with the mysteries of God. 1 Peter 1:10-12 – Concerning this salvation, the proph
