One New Man Ministries is an Ephesians 2 ministry of reconciliation. As Messianic Jews and Messianic Gentiles, together we study the Old and New Testament from the point of view of God's continuous revelation of His plan to redeem a people for Himself through His only begotten son, Yeshua Ha Meshiach, Jesus Christ. Yeshua means "salvation" and is God's merciful plan to save all people through their faith in Yeshua, Jesus, as the once and for all atoning sacrifice. He is "the gift of God" Eph2:8-22. "For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility,... that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace, and might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross..." "For through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father." We are "fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole structue, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. In him, you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit."

We discuss the lectionary for the fifth Sunday after Pentecost: Genesis 22:1-14 which demonstrates Abraham's obedience in faith to be willing to sacrifice his son Isaac. We discuss how Abraham's faith in the promises of God, and Hebrews 11 insight into Abraham's faith in the resurrection. We discuss God's forshadowing Yeshua in Gen 22:8 "God himself will provide the lamb for a burnt offering,my son." We continue with Romans 6 and compare and contrast being "under law and under grace". Paul discusses how by grace through faith in God's provision of His Son for payment for our sin should result in our obedience and being "enslaved to righteousness."

Dr Rob Solberg discusses the Jewish roots of the early church as we delve into the social/political divides and theological misunderstandings that led to the sin of replacement theology and antisemitism.

We discuss the lectionary for Third Sunday after Pentecost: Genesis 18:1-15, Romans 5:1-8. In Gen 18 The LORD appears to Abraham and promises the birth of Isaac as fulfillment of His promises even at Abraham and Sarah's advanced ages. Gen 18:14 "Is anything too wonderful for the LORD?" And at the appointed time Isaac was born! God's faithfulness to His promises is certain. Rom 5:8 "God proves his love for us in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us." Romans 5:1 "Since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have obtained access to this grace in which we stand, and we boast in our hope of sharing the glory of God." Rom5:5 "and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us."

In Genesis 12:1-9 the Old Testament reading for this week, we see God setting Abram apart consecrating him unto the LORD, and Abram in faith taking actions of trust leaving his home. Abram's faith is reckoned to him as righteousness as Paul says in Romans 4. Abram's faith results in God's covenantal promise "I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and the one who curse you I will curse, and in you all families of the earth shall be blessed." This covenant is joined with verse Gen12:7 "Then the LORD appeared to Abram and said, "To your offspring I will give this land." Psalm 33:12 reiterates "Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people whom he has chosen as his heritage."

Join us as we discuss the lectionary for Pentecost Sunday including Acts 2:1-21 and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and the supernatural violent wind and divided tongues of fire sharing the gospel in different languages. This catalyzes the spread of the gospel through much of the world at that time. We also discuss 1 Corinthians 12 which talks about the different gifts of the Holy Spirit for the building up of the body of Messiah/Christ, many members one body.

For the Seventh Sunday of Easter, the lectionary scriptures are Acts 1:6-14 and 1Peter 4:12-14,5:6-11 and John 17:1-11. We start by discussing the importance of the ascension of Yeshua and Yeshua's current position at the right hand of God interceding for us. We discuss 1Peter4 directives to humble ourselves, discipline ourselves, and resist the enemy who prowls like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Finally, we end discussing Yeshua's high priestly prayer in John 17 to the Holy Father for protection and unity on behalf of those given to him.

We discuss the lectionary for the Sixth Sunday of Easter including Psalm 66, 1 Peter 3:13-22, and John 14:15-21. Peter tells us to always be ready to make a defense for the hope that is in you. "Messiah who suffered for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteousness, in order to bring you to God." We are told to maintain a "good conscience" and "in your hearts to sanctify Christ/Messiah as Lord." "He was put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit." And he has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God with angels,authorities, and powers made subject to him". And in the gospel John 14:15-21, Yeshua/Jesus did not leave us orphaned, but he asked the Father to give us the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth to abide in us. "In a little while the world will no longer see me, but you will see me; Because I live, you also will live."

Join us as we discuss the lessons for the fifth Sunday of easter especially concentrating on John 14:1-14 and Yeshua/Jesus statement "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you know me, you will know my Father also." How can you say, 'Show us the Father'? Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own; but the Father who dwells in me does his works. Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me;"

One New Man starts a new format following the revised common lectionary which usually presents a weekly Old testament, psalm, epistle, and gospel scriptural passage with common themes. We study the weekly lectionary scriptures to try to discern the most important common themes. The "Fourth Sunday of Easter" lectionary scriptures are: Acts 2:42-47, Psalm 23, 1Peter 2:19-25, John 10:1-10. Peter points to Yeshua our suffering servant prophesied to come in Isaiah 53 and confirmed in 1 Peter 2:19-25. John 10 presents Yeshua/Jesus as our "Good Shepherd" who states in John 10:7-10 "So Jesus again said to them, "Truly,truly I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly." Acts 2:46-47 describes the overflowing Spirit among the saints: "And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved."
