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."

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."

Join Messianic Jewish Rabbi Damien Eisner from First Fruits of Zion (ffoz.org) his as we discuss his book The Heart of Moses.

Rabbi Eisner discusses Moses powerful example of relational and servant leadership. Moses transformative leadership inspired purpose for the former slaves in Egypt to form a free nation with laws and principles which have left an enduring legacy and been a light unto the world.
