2 Corinthians 10-13: Waging War in the 99% World
Covering the final four chapters of 2 Corinthians, this week’s teaching addresses a number of topics. We start with Paul’s balancing act in addressing the young Believers from a position of spiritual authority – discerning when to be a lion and when to be a lamb with them, when to be “foolish” and address his […]
2 Corinthians 8-9: Uniting the 1% and 99% Worlds
The zipper is our metaphor as we dip into 2 Corinthians 8-9. Join us to find out how the humble zipper pictures the human life. Our main focus is the topic of giving and the fear that inhibits us from pouring out our lives, thus constraining us from fully uniting the spiritual and physical realms. […]
2 Corinthians 6-7: Walking in the 1% World
In chapters 6 and 7 of 2 Corinthians, Paul continues to contrast physical and spiritual existence (the 1% world and the 99% world). We look at these comparisons in this week’s teachings. By way of introduction, we review R’ Dessler’s description of four levels of faith, four levels of walking in the 1% world. Video: […]
2 Corinthians 4-5: Living in the 99% World
Join us as we dive into the particularly rich chapters of 2 Corinthians 4 and 5. Our focus is the transcendent life in Yeshua, being in the “tent” of this body but living beyond it. During our discussion, we discover that believers are allowed to groan – but only in regards to two topics. Video: […]
2 Corinthians 3: The Greater Glory
If the Torah is for today, why does Paul in 1 Corinthians 3 refer to the tablets of The Ten Words as emblems of a “ministry of death?” Join Beth Tikkun as we tackle this often misunderstood chapter, a passage that brings forward a vital principle for understanding God’s plan for salvation and the abundant […]
2 Corinthians 1-2: Life = Change
This week we begin the book of 2 Corinthians. Right away we notice a softening in Paul’s tone toward this beloved assembly. Why? They had developed. In this world, we need to be masters of change because if we are truly alive, we will always be developing. Join us as we meditate upon this vital […]
1 Corinthians 15-16: Living a Life of Hope
Join us as we explore within the soaring pinnacle of 1 Corinthians, chapter 15, the “resurrection chapter.” Our first question is, “What is the Good News?” Other topics include living the resurrection life now, salvation for all, baptism “for the dead,” and the “resurrection body.” Video: Vimeo | YouTube To download visuals, right-click the PDF […]
1 Corinthians 14: Living a Life of Clarity
Often contentious chapter 14 of 1 Corinthians is our fare this week, the “tongues” chapter, better called the “languages” chapter. We take a considerable amount of time laying a foundation before reading through the text verse-by-verse. The introduction includes a brief history of “languages” from Babel to Sinai to the Gentiles and two approaches to […]
1 Corinthians 13: Living a Sacrificial Life
In dipping into the much cherished “love” chapter, we begin by looking again at the Hebrew word for love, “ahavah.” We then explore the chapter in three sections: the worthless life, love in action, and the greatness of love. Specific topics include unforgiveness, the Greek equivalent for “shalom” (teleos), gifts of the Spirit, the veil […]
1 Corinthians 11b-12: Living a Respectful Life
We focus on gifts in this week’s teaching – body, soul, and spirit. Before we get there, however, we address the section on head coverings from chapter 11, learning little-taught history regarding head coverings for Romans, Greeks, and Jews in ancient Rome. Video: Vimeo | YouTube To download visuals, right-click the PDF file and save. […]
1 Corinthians 10b-11: Living a Life of Freedom
We begin today’s teaching with a focus on the power of attitude, the “spirit” behind our deeds. Our main topic for the teaching is the life of imitating Messiah, the life of constant freedom that flows, ironically, through the doorway of constant death. Video: Vimeo | YouTube To download visuals, right-click the PDF file and […]
1 Corinthians 10a: Living a Victorious Life
Join us as we unpack the first half of 1 Corinthians 10. We begin by drawing a startling conclusion regarding the difference between God’s love and affection for people. In the main body of the teaching, we look at Paul’s allusions to five disasters in the wilderness, and we ask, “Why did Paul choose this […]
1 Corinthians 8 & 9: Living a Selfless Life
In looking at the text of 1 Corinthians chapters 8 & 9, we admire Paul’s ability to be flexible and gracious for the sake of the gospel, giving up his own rights when necessary to win over all kinds of people. We also learn more about dietary issues facing 1st century Believers, we look at […]
1 Corinthians Ch. 7: Living a Stable Life in a Shaky World
1 Corinthians chapter 7 is one of the most unique chapters in all of the Bible and also one of the most misunderstood. Join us as we attempt to grasp this chapter that is so applicable to our increasingly unstable modern world. We divide the chapter into seven sections, tracing how Paul on the one […]
1 Corinthians Ch. 6: The Ignorant Life
In 1 Corinthians 6, Paul’s exasperation comes through as 12 questions in 20 verses. Topics in this teaching include the holy people as judges of both the world and angels, what it means to be in God’s kingdom, strength against temptation through mindfulness of identity, and the often misunderstood verse 12 about “all things” being […]
1 Corinthians: Ch. 5 – The Unleavened Life
In the light of the Chanukah season, we begin this week’s teaching with a penetrating lesson from the menorah. We move on to the topic of leaven in the kingdom, including the rare but sometimes necessary practice of disfellowshipping a member of the Body. The main target of today’s teaching is a meditation on scars. […]
1 Corinthians: Chs. 3-4 – The Fireproof Life
We begin chapters 3-4 of 1Corinthians by revisiting body-soul-spirit in light of the shaking our world is currently experiencing. Moving on, we build upon Paul’s two analogies for the redeemed community (the field and the building) to point out that we are all sowing and building in others for good or evil. Next, 1Cor 3:13 […]
1 Corinthians: Chs. 1b-2 – The Spiritual Man
What does it mean to be a “spiritual” man or woman? That is our main question in this second teaching on 1 Corinthians. We tackle this question after some encouraging thoughts about the wisdom of God vs. the wisdom of man. Included in the “spiritual man” topic are a review of body, soul, and spirit […]
1 Corinthians: Intro and Ch. 1a
Our first teaching on the Corinthian letters begins with timely thoughts related to the Sabbath and gathering at home as we enter another Covid-19 at-home period. Turning to Corinthians, we briefly touch on the key issues that add up to a rather wild pair of Paul’s letters before reviewing the beginnings of this Greek assembly […]
Titus 3
Starting out our final teaching of Titus, we focus on a few verses in Titus 3 that compare what we were before to what we are now, and we point out another verse that states the general theme of the book of Titus. Having just celebrated Shavuot and in light of Titus 3:5-6 which mentions […]
Titus 2
For this first week back together again as a congregation, we dip into Titus chapter 2. In the chapter, Paul takes the time to separately address 4 different groups of people. We ask, “Why is it that Paul has the most instructions for young women, in particular?” Moving on, we focus in on Titus 2:11, […]
Titus 1
Join Beth Tikkun as we begin a study of the book of Titus. We start the first chapter by asking, “Who are the elect, and why did God select them?” We also take a closer look at the Greek words often translated “arrogant” and “rebuke.” Finally, we examine the intentions of the group Paul calls […]

2 Timothy 3
Our emphasis in 2 Timothy 3 is “the Last Days.” We begin by refreshing several mentions of the Last Days from the prophets. As we look at evidence for the spirit of the Last Days in our own times, we read the lyrics of a song made popular by Whitney Houston in the 1980’s. Moving […]
2 Timothy 2b
We begin this teaching by looking at the word “to wrangle,” from verse 14 where we are urged to not do combat over “words.” One main topic for the teaching is the question, “How do we correctly cut the Word of truth?” A second main topic concerns Paul’s description of vessels for differing uses, which […]
2 Timothy 2a
Join us as we explore in the second chapter of Second Timothy. The main body of the teaching is an interesting menorah pattern composed of soldier, athlete, and farmer. We also take a surprising look at the actual bird translated as “eagle” in our English Bibles. Video: Vimeo | YouTube To download visuals, right-click the […]
2 Timothy 1b
Join us as we once again receive instruction from the wonderful book of Second Timothy. In this teaching, we delve into four basic states of the conscience; we ask the question, “How do we achieve a clean and good conscience?” we examine Paul’s list of the major themes in the Word; and we take a […]
2 Timothy 1a
Join us as we begin exploring the book of Second Timothy. In this first teaching, we cover the first 10 verses of chapter 1. Focusing on verse 3, we ask the question, “How could Paul say that he had a clear conscience?” In pursuit of an answer to this question, we examine both the Greek […]
1 Timothy 6
We come to the final chapter of 1 Timothy. As background for Paul’s admonitions regarding avoiding controversies, we learn in this teaching about the sophists of the ancient world – traveling celebrities who specialized in arguing! We connect the sophists to many modern televangelists. Other topics in this teaching include The Didache, the term “eternal […]
1 Timothy 5
We continue our reading of 1 Timothy, this week unpacking chapter 5. Before addressing the text, however, we hear about Grant’s recent trip to the brothers and sisters in South Africa. Moving to 1 Timothy 5, we first note Paul’s formula for community respect before commenting upon the various situations of widows mentioned in the […]
1 Timothy 4
We begin unpacking the 4th chapter of 1 Timothy with the humbling recognition that, spiritually, we are all sheep who can be led astray. We turn to James 3 for guidelines for protecting ourselves against our sheep nature. Finishing this section of Timothy, we see that, in the spiritual realm, our way of teaching is […]
1 Timothy 3
Join Beth Tikkun as we dig in to 1 Timothy 3. After exploring the qualifications for overseers and servants, we focus in on the topic of spiritual authority. Visuals: 1 Timothy 3.pdf Medios Visuales: 1 Timoteo 3.pdf
1 Timothy Ch. 2
This week we return to the topic of masculinity and femininity as we continue our study in 1 Timothy. Initially, we look at 4 facets of prayer and praying for the government. Regarding men and women, we explore the role of women, the woman’s power, and clothing as a picture frame for the soul. We […]
1 Timothy Ch. 1
We begin our exploration of the letters to Timothy with a little background on this man who was so important to Paul. We then establish the main purpose of these important letters. Moving into the meat of chapter 1, we explore 5 characteristics of the heretic, 3 legs of love, and the Greek words for […]
Ephesians 6
In this final teaching from Ephesians, we begin by speaking first to children and parents, then employees and employers about honoring each other in the Lord. We then address our main topic, putting on the armor of God in spiritual warfare, with particular attention to the sword of the Word. Finally, we discuss the apparently […]
Ephesians 5
As we study Ephesians chapter 5 this week, we begin with the question, “What does it mean to grieve the Holy Spirit by which we are sealed?” This question leads us to a discussion of circumcision. Other main topics in this teaching include the 5 mentions of light in Ephesians and submission within marriage. Visuals: […]
Ephesians 4
Join Beth Tikkun Messianic Fellowship as we continue our exploration of Ephesians. In this week’s teaching, we focus on 7 lists in chapter 4: characteristics of our walk, of our unity, of the spiritually immature, and of the “Gentile” mind, along with a list detailing God’s officers and two lists delineating the identity and practices […]
