“Holiness at the Table: Discernment Through Repetition”Teachers: Kerry & Karen BattleAhava ~ Love AssemblyThis Torah class continues our verse-by-verse instruction through the book of Leviticus and addresses covenant obedience at its most daily and unavoidable level: what enters the body of Yisra'el.Leviticus 11 is not symbolic.It is not cultural.It is not optional.This chapter establishes Yahuah's distinctions between clean and unclean and trains Israel in discipline, restraint, and self-governance through repeated obedience. Holiness here is not emotional or dramatic. It is practiced, measurable, and enforced through daily conduct.This lesson is taught verse-by-verse, precept upon precept, using a judicial structure that keeps authority in the text and removes negotiation.This is not dietary preference.This is covenant law.WHAT WE COVER IN THIS MESSAGE1. Authority Over AppetiteLeviticus 11:1–2Yahuah speaks to Moses and Aaron and commands them to instruct all Israel. Eating is placed under covenant authority. No one is exempt. Obedience at the table becomes a national responsibility, not a personal choice.2. Distinction by Defined StandardsLeviticus 11:3–8Clean land animals must meet two conditions. Partial qualification does not count. Yahuah names animals that appear close to clean in order to eliminate rationalization. Near-obedience is rejected.3. Environment Does Not Change ObedienceLeviticus 11:9–12Water creatures are governed by the same clarity. Fins and scales are required. Context does not override command. Location never excuses deviation.4. Nature MattersLeviticus 11:13–19Predatory and scavenger birds are forbidden by name. Israel is prohibited from consuming what feeds on death. Diet is tied to covenant character.5. Exceptions Require CommandLeviticus 11:20–23Winged swarming things are largely forbidden, with specific named exceptions. Permission does not come from usefulness or tradition. Silence from Torah is not approval.6. Defilement Without ConsumptionLeviticus 11:24–28Uncleanness is transmitted through contact. Defilement does not require intent or appetite. Obedience includes restraint and acceptance of interruption.7. Absolute ProhibitionsLeviticus 11:29–31Creeping and ground-dwelling creatures are unclean entirely. No justification is given because none is required. Familiarity does not cleanse.8. Household TransmissionLeviticus 11:32–35Objects, tools, and shared spaces can become unclean. Obedience is not private. One person's choices affect the household.9. Discernment Without PanicLeviticus 11:36–38Torah distinguishes between contamination and destruction. Clean sources remain clean. Israel is trained to discern, not overcorrect.10. Circumstance Alters PermissionLeviticus 11:39–40Even clean animals produce uncleanness when death is involved. What is permitted can become forbidden by condition.11. Self-Governance Under TorahLeviticus 11:41–43Negligence is treated as defilement. Israel is commanded not to make themselves detestable. Discipline must be internal.12. Purpose of the LawLeviticus 11:44–47Yahuah ties dietary obedience to holiness and identity. Distinction preserves covenant order. Discernment is the goal.WHY THIS MESSAGE MATTERSDaily obedience reveals authorityDistinction preserves holinessRepetition forms disciplineNegligence defilesHouseholds transmit obedience or disorderSelf-governance is required under covenant lawLeviticus 11 teaches that holiness is not proven in moments of crisis, but in ordinary, repeated obedience.SCRIPTURE REFERENCES FOR STUDYLeviticus 11Leviticus 20Deuteronomy 14Isaiah 65–66Ezekiel 4Ezekiel 44Malachi 1–2Every section is taught precept upon precept.ABOUT AHAVA ~ LOVE ASSEMBLYWe teach the Pure Word of Yahuah.No religion.No tradition.No compromise.

Exploring the Connection Between Matthew 15 and Ezra For BibleInTen.com - By DH, 17th January 2026 Welcome back to Bible in Ten!     Today, we have another bonus episode as our daily commentary from the Superior Word closes out Matthew Chapter 15. Matthew's Gospel contains 28 chapters, and remarkably, it mirrors the first 28 books of the Old Testament as arranged in the Christian Bible. So in this episode, having concluded our walk through Matthew 15, we'll now look at its fascinating counterpart: Book 15 of the Old Testament-Ezra. Please do check the last episode to see how Chapter 15 of Matthew gives a picture of what is going on in the world from the time Jesus fulfilled the law until the rapture. The verses, though literally occurring at the time of Jesus, point to truths after the completion of Jesus' ministry. Authority from Jerusalem  Matthew 15 opens with scribes and Pharisees coming from Jerusalem to challenge Jesus. Jerusalem represents authority still bound to Sinai. Ezra came from Babylon to Jerusalem as a scribe skilled in the Law of Moses. That was necessary then. But Matthew 15 shows what happens after the Law has been fulfilled. The authority remains -  but the life is gone. Paul explains this tension in Galatians: “Jerusalem which now is… is in bondage with her children.” The challenge to Jesus does not come from pagans -   but from Law-bound religion. 2. Tradition Replacing God's Word  In verses 2 through 9,  Jesus exposes the condition of Israel. They honor God with lips, but their hearts are far away. Ezra saw the same problem. Israel had returned from exile. The Temple was rebuilt. But the heart problem remained. Ezra tore his garments and confessed: “After all that has come upon us… should we again break Your commandments?” External obedience never cured internal rebellion. Matthew 15 shows that the problem has hardened. 3. Where Defilement Truly Comes From  Jesus says: “What goes into the mouth does not defile a man, but what comes out of it.” This is more than food. It is proclamation. Israel refuses to confess Jesus. Paul later explains: “If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart… you will be saved.” Defilement is not ritual failure. It is rejecting the Rock. Ezra spoke of a land defiled by peoples and practices. Jesus reveals the deeper truth - defilement flows from the heart outward. 4. Blind Leaders and Separation  Jesus then says something severe: “Let them alone.” Blind leaders. Blind followers. Ezra enforced physical separation. Jesus declares spiritual separation. Same judgment. Different stage of history. The Law has reached its limit. 5. A Turn Toward the Gentiles  Verse 21 is pivotal. Jesus goes out from there to Tyre and Sidon. Ezra's restoration preserved Israel. Jesus now expands the promise. Tyre means Rock. Sidon means Fishery and fish relates to increase. Israel abandoned their Rock. The nations who receive Him will increase. A Canaanite woman approaches - humbled, persistent, faithful. Ezra allowed Gentiles who separated from uncleanness to join Israel. Jesus reveals the heart of that principle. Faith, not bloodline, is the door. 6. Bread, Crumbs, and Faith Jesus speaks of children's bread. The woman doesn't argue. She trusts. “Even the crumbs are enough.” This is not rebellion against Israel. It is trust in Israel's Messiah. Ezra guarded the holy vessels carefully. Jesus shows that grace is not diminished by sharing. Faith gathers what Law could only preserve. 7. The Mountain and the Multitudes  Jesus ascends a mountain near the Sea of Galilee - Liberty. A great gathering forms. Ezra gathered Israel to restore covenant order. Jesus gathers the nations under Himself. Broken people come. They are healed. And Matthew records something unique: “They glorified the God of Israel.” The Gentiles now do what Israel was called to do. Paul later says: “That the Gentiles might glorify God for His mercy.” 8. Bread, Fulness, and Preservation  The feeding of the four thousand follows. Three days. Divine fullness. Seven loaves. Spiritual completeness. Four thousand - the world number. Ezra preserved what was holy by careful accounting. Jesus preserves what is holy by abundance. Seven large baskets remain. Nothing is lost. The fullness of the Gentiles comes in while Israel remains partially blinded. 9. Toward the Tower of God The chapter ends with a quiet note. Jesus goes to Magdala - Migdal-El, the Tower of God. Not Babel. Not the tower of man. Ezra ended with restored order. Matthew 15 points toward final deliverance. Ezra shows us what faithfulness under the Law looked like. Matthew 15 shows us what happens when grace takes the field. The Rock rejected by Israel becomes the foundation of the nations. CONCLUSION Ezra supports the typological interpretation of Matthew 15 because it provides the historical “control text” that shows Matthew follows an existing biblical pattern.    The reason Ezra confirms the typological reading of Matthew 15 is that Ezra provides the final Old Covenant pattern.   Matthew typologically provides the New Covenant pattern. In Ezra, Israel is restored to the land, the Law is fully reinstated, scribal authority is established, separation is enforced, and a remnant is preserved - yet the heart problem remains unresolved. Matthew 15 follows that same sequence in order: authority from Jerusalem, Law elevated through tradition, defilement exposed, separation declared, a preserved remnant, and then a movement beyond Israel to the Gentiles. The difference is that what Ezra preserves under the Law, Jesus resolves through Himself. Because Matthew follows Ezra's structure rather than inventing a new one, the typology is not imaginative - it is controlled, historical, and intentional. Matthew 15 is not merely a series of confrontations, healings, and feedings, nor is it simply a lesson about religious hypocrisy or personal faith, as it is often reduced to in casual teaching. Rather, it is also a picture of what is going on in the world from the time Jesus fulfilled the law until the rapture. What Ezra records historically - Israel restored under the Law, preserved through separation, yet still bound by the limitations of Sinai - Jesus reveals prophetically. Matthew 15 walks through that same reality step by step: Jerusalem-based authority bound to tradition, a people near in speech but distant in heart, blindness leading blindness, separation declared, and then a decisive movement outward to the nations. Ezra preserves a remnant under the Law. Jesus gathers a people by grace. Ezra safeguards holiness through consolidation and exclusion. Jesus reveals holiness through mercy, healing, and abundance. Seen together, these chapters show that Matthew 15 is not simply about what happened on a particular day in Galilee, but about what God has been doing in redemptive history from the close of the Old Covenant to the fullness of the New. It is the Law reaching its limit and Christ stepping into that space - not to abolish what came before, but to fulfill it. Matthew 15, read through Ezra, becomes a sweeping retelling of Israel's restoration, its partial blindness, the inclusion of the Gentiles, and the preservation of God's people - all centered on the person of Jesus Christ, the true Rock, the Bread of Life, and the Lord of the harvest. Lord God, we thank You for Your word - holy, faithful, and true. We confess that it is easy to handle Scripture carelessly, to bend it toward our own ideas, or to use it as a tool rather than receive it as a gift. Guard our hearts from pride. Guard us from turning truth into tradition and obedience into self-righteousness. Teach us to read Your word with reverence, to see Christ where You have revealed Him, and to submit ourselves to what You have spoken. May Your grace reach deeper than our habits, deeper than our defenses, and deeper than our fears. And may our lives reflect not just knowledge of Your law, but the transforming mercy found in Jesus Christ our Lord. To Your glory alone. Amen.   Before we close this episode, we want to share something very simple and very personal. The following song was made up and sung by our Gracie when she could barely speak. She created the words herself and sang it from her heart. It's hard to understand in places, and it's certainly not theologically precise - but that's actually part of why it feels so fitting here. In Matthew 15, Jesus reminds us that what truly matters is not polished words, tradition, or perfect expression, but the heart. This little song isn't about getting everything right; it's about love, trust, and a heart turned toward Jesus. So we'll let it stand just as it is - imperfect, sincere, and honest - a small reminder that faith begins in the heart even before it can be explained. >>>> Grace sings “I love you Jesus” >>>>

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to Jeff Garwood from Daufuskie Island, SC. Jeff, your partnership with us through Project23 is helping others discover the truth that changes hearts. This study is for you today. Our text today is Mark 7:14-23: And he called the people to him again and said to them, “Hear me, all of you, and understand: There is nothing outside a person that by going into him can defile him, but the things that come out of a person are what defile him.” And when he had entered the house and left the people, his disciples asked him about the parable. And he said to them, “Then are you also without understanding? Do you not see that whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defile him, since it enters not his heart but his stomach, and is expelled?” (Thus he declared all foods clean.) And he said, “What comes out of a person is what defiles him. For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person.” — Mark 7:14-23 Jesus makes a powerful point here—but there's more going on beneath the surface. This Gospel account was dictated by Peter to Mark. And you can almost hear Peter's voice behind the detail: “(Thus he declared all foods clean).” Why does that matter? Because years later, Peter would receive a vision in Acts 10—when God dropped a sheet from heaven filled with animals considered unclean. And God said, “What God has made clean, do not call common.” That moment cracked Peter's heart open to the inclusion of Gentiles in the Gospel. But even then, Peter would struggle. In Galatians 2, Paul rebukes him for pulling away from Gentile believers. So when Peter recounts this scene in Mark 7, it's personal. Jesus didn't just change the rules—he changed Peter's heart. Jesus redefined purity as something internal, not external. And Jesus says the real issue isn't what goes into your mouth—it's what comes out of your heart. Sin doesn't enter through your fork—it flows from within. That list Jesus gives? It's a mirror. Pride. Envy. Deceit. Lust. It's not out there—it's in here. This isn't just convicting. It's freeing. Because you can't clean yourself with religion, rituals, or rules. You need a new heart. A Jesus-transformed heart. One that lives from the inside out. We all tend to clean the outside while ignoring the inside. We act polite but harbor bitterness. We appear holy, but we think impure thoughts. We perform well but never confess pride. Start paying attention to your heart. Don't just look at your actions—listen to your motives. Is your obedience flowing from love or from fear of being seen? Are you generous because you care—or because you want credit? Ask Jesus to do the heart surgery only he can do. Today, stop settling for behavior modification. Start praying for heart transformation. #InsideOutFaith, #HeartOverHabits, #PeterUnderstood ASK THIS: Where am I focused more on appearances than true heart change? What sin on Jesus' list hits closest to home right now? How have I tried to use tradition or morality to cover brokenness? Where do I need to invite Jesus to cleanse me from the inside? DO THIS: Spend five minutes today asking Jesus not just to clean your life—but to cleanse your heart. PRAY THIS: Jesus, I confess my sin isn't out there—it's in me. Cleanse my heart. I want to live from the inside out. PLAY THIS: “Clean” – Natalie Grant.

The book of Nehemiah doesn't end the way we might expect. After the victory of rebuilding the wall and a national spiritual renewal, chapter 13 brings us into deeply uncomfortable territory: everything falls apart.In Pulling Our Hair Out, Pastor Kelly Kinder unpacks the closing chapter of Nehemiah and what it reveals about the fragility of human faithfulness. It's not a fairytale ending—it's a real-world snapshot of what happens when we stop tending to our spiritual lives.While Nehemiah was away, spiritual compromise crept back in. The temple was misused. Ministry was neglected. The Sabbath was disregarded. Marriages were defiled. Nehemiah didn't ignore it—he confronted it with courage and clarity.Kelly walks us through the four areas Nehemiah had to clean house:1. Compromise in PurityAn enemy of God, Tobiah, had been given residence in the temple. Nehemiah threw him out—literally. It's a powerful image of what it means to cleanse our lives from subtle spiritual compromises.2. Neglect in GivingThe Levites and temple servants weren't being supported, so they left their ministry posts. Nehemiah restores order and calls the people to recommit their resources. It challenges us to consider whether we're faithfully supporting God's work.3. Disregard of the SabbathThe people had returned to doing business on the day God had set apart for rest and worship. Nehemiah shuts the city gates and calls the people to honor what God designed for their good.4. Defilement of MarriageIntermarriage with foreign nations had diluted their spiritual identity. Nehemiah's response is intense—but so is the danger of spiritual compromise through unaligned relationships.Kelly doesn't sugarcoat it: spiritual decline is rarely sudden—it's usually subtle. Like a tire with a slow leak, you don't notice the danger until you're stuck. That's why vigilance matters.The final words of the book—“Remember me, O my God, for good”—are a humble reminder that even the most faithful leaders need grace. And that grace is found not in our performance, but in Christ, the perfect covenant-keeper.If you've noticed a spiritual leak in your life, this message invites you not to shame, but to restoration. God is ready to meet you where you are—and rebuild what's been compromised.We are Trinity Community Church in Knoxville, Tennessee.Subscribe to our Podcast & YouTube channel to find past sermons, classes, interviews, and more!Find us on Facebook & Instagram
