Messianic Judaism
Learning about the Jewish roots of the Christian faith can broaden your understanding of Scripture, as well as deepen your walk with God.
As you learn the Jewish roots of the Christian faith and understand why God gave the Biblical festivals, why the Tabernacle and Temple were designed as they were and how it all relates to Jesus and our redemption, it brings the Bible to life in ways you never thought possible.
You come to understand that God has given us a picture of Jesus throughout the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. Each Biblical feast is a picture of Jesus and His work of redemption!
Jesus Himself was a Jew who kept the Biblical feasts, as did His disciples. Jesus never came to form a new religion. He just completes it! He is the promised Messiah!
