At His final Passover meal with His disciples, Jesus took bread and wine and said words that have echoed through the centuries: “Do this in remembrance of Me” (1 Corinthians 11:24). They ate. They drank. And the apostles later explained the weight of that moment: “For as often as you eat this bread and drink[…]

Question: Dr. Tony, What is Palm Sunday? Answer:Palm Sunday is one of the most powerful and meaningful moments in the life of Jesus, and in the story of the Kingdom of God. It marks the day we celebrate His triumphal entry into Jerusalem, just one week before His resurrection (Matthew 21:1–11). But this wasn’t just[…]
If you walk through ancient ruins, museum, or study archaeological discoveries in Israel, one symbol appears again and again: the menorah. But why? Long before the Star of David, the menorah stood as the defining symbol of the people of Israel. For centuries, historians have wondered why this image—seven branches of light—became so central. Scripture[…]
For many individuals in the Jewish community, the phrase “the gospel” can sound foreign, as if it’s something outside the story of Israel. Yet the truth is profoundly beautiful: the gospel is a Jewish word, rooted in the Jewish Scriptures, revealing the Jewish Messiah who brings the Kingdom of God to the whole world. The[…]
When Jesus commissioned His disciples, He gave a clear and powerful command: “Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you” (Matthew 28:19–20). To understand this, we must first see baptism[…]
Christian anthropology is the study of humanity—anthropos—as created in the image of God and understood in relationship to Him. It answers the questions every human heart eventually asks: Who am I? Why was I created? What is my purpose? Why is the world broken—and is there hope for restoration? Scripture does not treat these as[…]
The question is simple to state and painful to live with: Why does evil exist? Why does God allow humans to do such selfish, brutal, and even unspeakably wicked things? When we witness the horrors of war, terrorism, or senseless violence, many hearts whisper—or scream—“If God is good, where is He?” Some even walk away[…]
The people of Israel are God’s chosen people—loved with an everlasting love that has never faded, weakened, or been replaced. Scripture is unwavering on this truth. God chose Israel not because of their strength or size, but because of His covenantal love and faithfulness. And what God begins, He finishes. He continues, even now, to[…]
When Christians begin discovering the Jewish roots of their faith, one of the very first questions that almost always arises is about the Sabbath. Once it becomes clear that Shabbat was not “done away with,” the next question naturally follows: What does Sabbath observance look like for Christians today? How should it be practiced, and[…]
Few books in history have shaped Christianity, language, and worship as profoundly as the King James Version of the Bible, first published in 1611. Often called the Authorized Version, the King James Bible is widely celebrated for its poetic beauty, literary excellence, and enduring spiritual influence. For many believers, it represents far more than a[…]
What is Eschatology? Eschatology is a fancy word that is the study of last things. It is the study of the end times and the events associated with the return of Jesus, including the tribulation, resurrections, judgments, and the Kingdom. Many treat Eschatology as an area of theology to be avoided. However, how we understand[…]
The Division of Abijah may appear at first glance to be a quiet administrative detail tucked into the pages of Scripture, but in the Kingdom of God, no detail is ever insignificant. Every name, every order, and every assignment carries purpose. The Division of Abijah was one of the twenty-four priestly divisions established during the[…]
