This is the best talk I have heard in ages.....breath of fresh air. Thank you.

[@TheGraftedChurch]

Thanks. I was sad that the audio quality was so bad on this one. The next ones should have better sound.

[@vahidm6119]

1John is my favorite book in the Bible, other than Genesis. It's awesome! I'm so blessed by your message and I wish I was closer to Oklahoma City! I'll be here online! Thank you and see you in five days at the first LIVE STREAM from the new church! Grafted Church is a fitting name!

Lots of exclamation points !!!

Thanks. We look forward to seeing you online.

Love this video Lex .It shows the right way to adore Yahweh in all his love and glory without offending anyone.This is why I follow your ministry.I would love to be baptised find it difficult to find something like this in L.A. .

[@jameshunt5530]

Excellent vision Lex. Looking forward to watching the rest of the videos

[@lovelife3279]

AMEN!! I so needed this. I went to church my whole life and have been asking for the truth and have been in shock . It's such a blessing but can seem overwhelming if you don't keep our eyes on Yeshua. I've been praying for a group or people on the same page where we live. So Important to keep the Love . You are so right! When he shows us the truth we need to wait on his timing and his words. We just want everyone to know the truth. Thank you!

[@vahidm6119]

Love! It all boils down to LOVE ❤️

[@DEVOTED2YaHUaH144k]

Glad you started this,

[@TheGraftedChurch]

Thanks, but I must give the credit to the Father for directing me to do this, and for Him making the way possible.

[@GodsGreenPlanet]

Cleanse the law, love is law. The law starts on a quantum level and transcends through time, space, nature, consciousness and conscious relationships. We effect everything. We are the imperfections in creation. Creation adapts to our lawlessness. Thank you,Lex, Jesus, let us all walk in the spirit and become whole as we were meant to be. Amen 🙏🏻...

[@AdventistPrepper]

Glad to see this!

[@jmal3008]

Simply the best!!!

LET US HEAR THE CONCLUSION OF THE WHOLE MATTER. FEAR GOD, AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS: FOR THIS IS THE DUTY OF MAN. = ecclesiastes 12:13

[@Pathway244]

HalleluYah

[@linda81197]

Great message Lex. Much needed for all to hear. Thank you.

[@TheGraftedChurch]

I am glad you found it helpful.

[@GatheringJacob]

Excellent vision! Our faith must bear the fruit of obedience, and that mean loving God, and our neighbor above all! We must walk out the great commission to be obedient as well. How can we love the children of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob if we don’t seek them and speak truth to them, that they might come in and become part of the family. I️ pray YHWH bless you and make His face shine on you!

[@TheGraftedChurch]

Thanks brother. I agree we all need to bear fruit.

[@biblical1533]

Speaking the truth of Scripture in love is one of the hardest things to do. The Word is divisive, cutting to the heart - it is a painful process for most to come to the Truth about what the Bible actually says and about themselves. Most don't want to believe that they have been deceived by their teachers. Those teachers in many cases have been deceived as well - but I have talked with some who know very well some basic biblical truths and won't teach them from their pulpits. The audience dictates the strength of the message and fewer and fewer are willing to accept any semblance of sound doctrine (as prophesied by Scripture). It is within this framework that we have a Work to do - the fields are definitely white, but the ground is shallow, full of thorns and stones. I personally stink at this - I tend to come on too strong and uncompromising. Maybe even arrogant to some. I was raised in the faith - never kept the holidays, etc. I tend to give way too much information. I'll pray that the Father helps me to get out of the way.

[@TheGraftedChurch]

Yes, speaking the truth in love is difficult

[@cmcshelton3629]

Looking for a church for our family like this, having a lot of difficulty. Cant find anything other than traditional Sunday Churches in Connecticut. We have been keeping the Sabbath and doing home studies with our kids, but would love to be involved with a fellowship again. Any advice or prayers are appreciated!

[@TheGraftedChurch]

I pray that you find a good fellowship with likeminded believers.

[@geniusofamway]

Lex what version of the Scripture's is that you are reading that portion of 1 John it looks like a familiar version that I have..Shaloam

[@TheGraftedChurch]

I typically read from the NKJV in most of my videos

[@cali7150]

I was curious... do you have any videos about the nephelim?? I would like to know what you think.

[@TheGraftedChurch]

No, that is not a subject I have addressed yet

[@Mr3gfunk]

Great teaching, too many people on their soapbox yelling at strangers instead of fishing quietly for mens souls.

[@cali7150]

Do you have a congregation in Los Angeles California???

[@TheGraftedChurch]

No, we are in Oklahoma City

[@cali7150]

Sadly I suppose.

[@CJ.--]

I got exsited when I saw this post.Have u been guided to any thing remotley like this ⛪? In LA ?

[@williamw3501]

So what denomination, is this?

[@TheGraftedChurch]

Non-denominational

[@itsme6162]

Is the Torah the Bible

[@TheGraftedChurch]

The Torah is the books of the Law (Genesis - Deuteronomy). Torah means "instruction", so it is the instructions from God. Sometimes the word Torah is used broadly to refer to the whole Bible.

[@marissapelaez5615]

How do we respond to Christmas party invitations with love?

[@TheGraftedChurch]

You can thank them for the invitation and kindly explain that you don't celebrate Christmas. If they ask why, you can explain your reasons. But if you do it in love and kindness, people will be more likely to listen, and less defensive.

[@marissapelaez5615]

Please advice on what to say to people giving Christmas presents and saying merry Christmas... I am a teacher and I truly am at a loss as to what to do when students greet me and give me gifts... ☹️

[@TheGraftedChurch]

I would say, "Thank you, that is very kind of you, but I don't celebrate Christmas". If they ask why you can explain your reasons.

[@marissapelaez5615]

How would you reject the gift without hurting the giver’s feelings?

[@deweyfosworth7833]

@@marissapelaez5615 Tough subject. I have been taught not to refuse a gift. It's not my heart motives that are judged, but theirs. Thank them for thinking of you. If the gift is something that is offensive, such as pork or christmas ornaments, throw it away. Wish them a Happy Chanukah because that's what their Savior celebrated/celebrates. Try hard to give gifts throughout the year at times other than pagan holidays. Be of good cheer this feast of Dedication.

[@itsme6162]

Christians are under the law of Christ (Galatians 6:2), which is to “love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind…and to love your neighbor as yourself” (Matthew 22:37-39). If we obey those two commands, we will be fulfilling all that Christ requires of us: “All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments” (Matthew 22:40). Now, this does not mean the Old Testament law is irrelevant today. Many of the commands in the Old Testament law fall into the categories of “loving God” and “loving your neighbor.” The Old Testament law can be a good guidepost for knowing how to love God and knowing what goes into loving your neighbor. At the same time, to say that the Old Testament law applies to Christians today is incorrect. The Old Testament law is a unit (James 2:10). Either all of it applies, or none of it applies. If Christ fulfilled some of it, such as the sacrificial system, He fulfilled all of it. “This is love for God: to obey his commands. And his commands are not burdensome” (1 John 5:3). The Ten Commandments were essentially a summary of the entire Old Testament law. Nine of the Ten Commandments are clearly repeated in the New Testament (all except the command to observe the Sabbath day). Obviously, if we are loving God, we will not be worshipping false gods or bowing down before idols. If we are loving our neighbors, we will not be murdering them, lying to them, committing adultery against them, or coveting what belongs to them. The purpose of the Old Testament law is to convict people of our inability to keep the law and point us to our need for Jesus Christ as Savior (Romans 7:7-9; Galatians 3:24). The Old Testament law was never intended by God to be the universal law for all people for all of time. We are to love God and love our neighbors. If we obey those two commands faithfully, we will be upholding all that God requires of us

[@vickyhv89]

itsme6162 When Yeshua said this, he didn’t create any new Commandments, because He was just quoting His Torah in Deuteronomy 6:5 and Leviticus 19:18. In fact Deuteronomy 6:5 was part of the great Shema that Jews everywhere quoted day and night, and still do today. This was John 3:16 for the Jews. They knew this verse better than any verse in the scriptures.

[@itsme6162]

So is ok to go to church on Sunday?

[@TheGraftedChurch]

Believers can gather together any day they want. But that should not be seen as a replacement for keeping the Sabbath.

[@itsme6162]

The Grafted Church what is keeping the Sabbath?

[@TheGraftedChurch]

Sabbath keeping involves gathering with believers for worship, but it also has to do with resting and honoring the day that God rested from His work at creation.

[@returntotorahderegresoalat2719]

I didn't say anything to my family they got offended on their own by looking at me wearing tzitzis.

[@TheGraftedChurch]

Why did that offend them?

[@returntotorahderegresoalat2719]

The Grafted Church good question I don't know they are good about speaking on my back. Only one was able to tell me that I had told her that in times past prior to the fullness of the scriptures that I had said to her that there's no need to wear something to show that you follow messiah. I said to her well that's what someone else had taught me I didn't read it for myself and I was taught replacement theology. Again the other ones nothing.

[@TheGraftedChurch]

Well, the Bible says we are to be a peculiar people, set apart, and distinct from the nations. Just let your light shine so they will praise God for your good deeds.

[@Savannah-ed4rv]

I had eembraced the hevrew roots doctrine for quite a while, and thought oh my I've had it wrong my whole life, etc. However, and no disrespect at all, you hit the nail on the head by saiying that HRM is new...that is the whole problem and why I no longer accept it. The bible tells us in the last days that new beliefs will become common, and so I lump HRM with Jehovah's witnesses, Seventh Day Adventists, etc...these are not based on what Paul taught. Paul said Gentiles are not held to the Sabbath or to all the dietary laws except avoiding meat from strangled animals. HRM is based on works and no works will give salvation...only trust in the gospel that Paul preached. I do enjoy your teachings though, very deep indeed!

[@TheGraftedChurch]

I agree that many people in the HRM are teaching a works based salvation, which is a problem. We are saved by grace through faith and the blood of the Lamb. We obey because we love Him.

[@itsme6162]

What is keeping the Sabbath? I thought Jesus is are rest he is our Sabbath.....

[@TheGraftedChurch]

That is a common statement, but it cannot be found in the Bible. He is Lord of the Sabbath, but the Bible does not say He is our Sabbath.

[@itsme6162]

The Grafted Church what does Sabbath mean?

[@itsme6162]

The Grafted Church s there anything wrong with worshipping on Saturday, the Jewish Sabbath? Absolutely not! We should worship God every day, not just on Saturday or Sunday! Many churches today have both Saturday and Sunday services. There is freedom in Christ (Romans 8:21; 2 Corinthians 3:17; Galatians 5:1). Should a Christian practice Sabbath-keeping, that is, not working on Saturdays? If a Christian feels led to do so, absolutely, yes (Romans 14:5). However, those who choose to practice Sabbath-keeping should not judge those who do not keep the Sabbath (Colossians 2:16). Further, those who do not keep the Sabbath should avoid being a stumbling block (1 Corinthians 8:9) to those who do keep the Sabbath. Galatians 5:13-15 sums up the whole issue: “You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love. The entire law is summed up in a single command: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ If you keep on biting and devouring each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.” Thank you I love your teaching

[@TheGraftedChurch]

The Sabbath is the seventh day of the week. We are commanded to work six days and rest on the seventh.

What do you consider is the sabbath, Sunday, Saturday or Fri sunset to Sat sunset?
