While WLC continues to uphold the observance of the Seventh-Day Sabbath, which is at the heart of Yahuwah's moral law, the 10 Commandments, we no longer believe that the annual feast days are binding upon believers today. Still, though, we humbly encourage all to set time aside to commemorate the yearly feasts with solemnity and joy, and to learn from Yahuwah’s instructions concerning their observance under the Old Covenant. Doing so will surely be a blessing to you and your home, as you study the wonderful types and shadows that point to the exaltation of Messiah Yahushua as the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, the conquering lion of the tribe of Judah, and the Lamb of Yahuwah that takes away the sins of the world.

Matthew, Chapter 6: Sermon On The Mount

The King James Version (KJV) is mostly used in these lessons. Click here to access the KJV online.

Almsgiving covers a wide variety of things. Almsgiving is the practice of helping other people.

It's showing acts of kindness and mercy on a day-to-day basis. It's also giving money, goods, services to the poor or to people that are in need. All of that is accompanied in almsgiving.

In Matthew 6 - the sermon on the mount is actually all about practicing righteousness.

The whole chapter is about practicing righteousness in three ways – almsgiving, prayer and fasting.

This lesson’s focus is on the idea that alms giving atones for sin.

At first this appears to be an odd thought because when we think of atonement and forgiveness of sin we automatically think only of what the messiah did for us.

The word atonement simply means forgiveness, reconciliation - a restoration of favor.

Through Yahushua's life, death, resurrection, ascension to heaven to be our high priest in the heavens we are forgiven of our sin and we're reconciled to Yahuwah our heavenly father which is the ultimate goal. He's the one we transgressed against so we're reconciled to Him.
