Bible Studies – Life of Messiah

Our congregational leader, Gary Derechinsky, is currently leading an enlightening and fascinating study of “The Life of Messiah from a Jewish Perspective” every other Wednesday in the main sanctuary. Based upon the seminal work of Messianic Jewish scholar, Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum, this study places Yeshua (Jesus) in His proper Jewish context as the long awaited King of the Jews and Savior of the world. Yeshua was born into a Jewish household in a Jewish community. As a boy in Nazareth, He attended a Jewish synagogue where He memorized the Jewish Scriptures. Growing in wisdom and stature and in favor with both God and man, He never journeyed outside of the land promised to the Jewish patriarchs. He was immersed (baptized) by the last of the Old Testament Jewish prophets. His earthly ministry was spent among Jewish people. He was crucified, buried, and then rose again to provide proof of His redemptive power to the Jew first and also to the Greek (Gentile). We encourage you to take part in this captivating study … and invite a friend!

Based upon Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum’s seminal work as to the cultural, linguistic and rabbinic backgrounds to the gospel accounts, Gary brings his own wealth of knowledge and insight to bear during this in-depth, chronological examination of the life of Messiah.

The Life of Messiah from a Jewish Perspective portrays Yeshua in His proper Jewish context as the long awaited King of the Jews and Savior of the world. Jews and Gentiles alike are finding this study to be highly illuminating and informative! All are welcome!
