Jewish Roots of the Christian Faith
‘Salvation is from the Jews.’ - Christ Jesus
‘You do not support the root, but the root supports you.’ - Apostle Paul
Has the Church replaced Israel? Was the Apostle Paul a Christian or a Messianic Jew? What relevance has the Old Testament people of God for the New Testament Church of God? Are there two peoples of God? Whose Messiah is Jesus?
Many Christians have ignored or even denied our Jewish roots. As a result our faith can be impoverished, our discipleship can be weakened and we can miss out on the richness of our identity and salvation in Christ. In this course, we’ll be looking at what the Bible teaches us about four aspects of our Jewish roots.
