The Word Is Grace

"The Word Is Grace" is brought to you by The Carpenter's Shop, located at 1201 East Elmore Street in Crawfordsville, Indiana. Our Sabbath services begin at 3:30 every Saturday afternoon. Listen with us as Bible teachers Jim Denman and Tim Terry examine our faith in Messiah Yeshua (Christ Jesus), with a Hebraic perspective. What did Jesus eat? How did He dress? Is the Torah still valid to believers today? Did He really say that there are only two laws that we have to follow now? Did God change His requirements for salvation after the cross? Is the Sabbath on Sunday or Saturday; was it changed? Join us as we seek answers to these questions, with balance and a humble reverence for God's Word.

"But Lord, He Stinketh." John 11:1 - 46

Our sound quality has been dramatically improved since last week’s podcast! Please check it out, and let us know what you think…

Stinketh indeed; Lazarus had been dead for four days. For four days he had not had life's blood flowing through his veins. He was put in a tomb, and for four days, his body had been decomposing. His flesh was rotting.
That is until the one who is able to give life came on the scene. Jesus tells His disciples that Lazarus’ death was for the soul purpose of glorifying His Father.
Why did Jesus intentionally wait a couple of extra days? Did Mary and Martha know that He was getting ready to do something remarkable?
Thanks for joining us,
Shabbat shalom!

"Jesus Went To Hanukkah!?" John 10:22 - 10:42

Download this episode (43 min)  
Yes, not only does Jesus make the claim to be Messiah again (contrary to what His critics say, He claimed to be the Messiah on numerous occasions); but He does it at the Temple during Hanukkah (Chanukkah, Chanuka, Hanukkah, Hannukah, take your pick on spelling!). Most of us have read it before, but didn't realize that the "Feast of Dedication" was in fact Chanukkah! This brings a whole new light to the Festival of Lights, doesn't it?
Being Messiah is not the only claim He makes in this week's reading; He goes even further than that. Jesus boldly claims to give those who follow Him... well, you'll have to download this week's episode of The Word Is Grace to find out, won't you?
Thanks for joining us,
Shabbat shalom!

UPDATE: Starting next Shabbat, September 27, we will be uploading a much better quality sound file. Please check it out and give us some feedback!
Thank you,

"…It Wasn’t The Jews Or The Italians.” John 10:1 - 10:21

Download this episode (55 min)  
Sheep; believers are likened to sheep in the bible. If you are familiar with sheep, then you know that this may not be a compliment. Sheep tend to be … not too smart. They need prodding and sometimes stern rebuke in order for them to what they are supposed to – what they need to do. Sound familiar? Does that describe you as much as it describes me? Unfortunately, we are much like sheep – more so then we would sometimes like to admit! We can rest assured though, because even through we act like “dumb sheep” a lot of times, we are blessed as believers to have the most loving, caring, and persistent shepherd of all.
Jesus tells us that the Good Shepherd is willing to lay his life down for the sheep, and that is exactly what He did; He laid His life down. Neither the Jews or the Italians killed Him – He laid His own life down for us. That is what the Good Shepherd does.
Thanks for joining us this week for The Word Is Grace.
Shabbat Shalom!

"What, You Don’t Know Who He Is?” John 9:1 - 9:41

Download this episode (65 min)  
When Yeshua encounters a man who was blind from birth, His disciples are quick to ask 'whose sin caused the infirmity?' He goes on to say that the reason this man was blind was for the glory of God to be seen.
Some encounters in the New Testament leave more questions than answers. This encounter is no different; why were the Pharisees so angry with seeing this man get healed? What made them so mad that they wanted to kill Jesus for what He had done? This leads us to another pressing question: did Jesus break the Sabbath? If He did, can He still be our Savior?
Join us as we look for scriptural answers to these questions and many more, here on The Word Is Grace.
Shabbat Shalom!

Here at the Carpenter's Shop, we believe Yeshua when He states in Matthew 5:17 "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill." We have come to know that our Messiah, Yeshua (Jesus), was a Torah observant, Jewish Rabbi who will one day return to reign from David's throne in Jerusalem. We believe that we are saved by the redemptive work that Yeshua accomplished on the cross; we are saved by the grace of God (Hashem), not by observing Torah. We observe Torah because we are saved, out of obedience to God's Word.
