A Venue for Biblical studies for the Ekklesia

Approved worker Trusting in YHVH Receiving the Word The Word of God Growing in Grace and Knowledge

Welcome

This web site is a venue for biblical studies based on a common understanding of God the Father and Jesus Christ that is not restricted by the culture and environment of being a church. There is only one Ekklesia but there are many corporations. The historical environment of the Churches of God is generally that you could believe whatever you wanted as long as you kept it to yourself, but open differences were not going to be considered. If we are growing in biblical knowledge and understanding, then what we teach now, and in the future, will be somewhat different from what we taught in the past. Also, what one teacher offers may be different from another one. We are imperfect beings with imperfect understanding so a range of perspectives will be shared. In the end though, all teachings must be weighed against the consistency of the record of scripture.

Burnt Offering - a Sweet Aroma

2026-09-05

Michael Nelte

We see burnt offerings commanded every day, with extra on each of the appointed times. These are a sweet aroma to God, yet we are also told that God does not desire sacrifices, sometimes even calling them a stench. We are also not allowed to make these sacrifices, as we are not priests. What is this sweet aroma that Yehovah smells from a burnt offering on the altar, and how can we produce that today?

Featured Video Study
The Harvesting Process and YHVH's Appointed Times

2025-10-15  

Presenter: Michael Nelte

If we look at harvests, they are made of many steps: reaping, collecting, preparing, and storing. The entire process is called a harvest. This study will separate out the different steps in each of the three harvests, and how they are shown through YHVH's appointed times. The correlations are somewhat different for the three harvests, based on who is being harvested and His, or their, calling and ultimate purpose. We know YHVH desires that all people be saved; His harvests demonstrate how this is possible.

Inspiration - Mercy

Leviticus 23:22 NKJV

(comment: Approaching the great harvest gathering of mankind, notice our Father's feelings toward them as well as former cared for peoples.)

When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of your field when you reap, nor shall you gather any gleaning from your harvest. You shall leave them for the POOR OF THE LAND and the STRANGER: I am YHVH (Yehovah) your God (Elohim). (The message we're given is to share, in-short, to love one's neighbor as himself.)
