Alternative Jewish attitudes to the Resurrection

A

This morning I was speaking about the Gospel from the resurrection from John’s point of view and one of the things we saw is that Jesus rose from the dead and that He was seen first of all by the women who were much more faithful and zealous to seek the Lord at this time in the morning. And I suggested that the men, the disciples, had actually fled, most likely to Bethany, when Jesus was...

Religion and reality – where does defilement come from?

Therefore, you can go against the rules of God they say, the Commandments of God, show the beauty within, follow your heart. Is your heart good? And are you basically good? That is what humanism really wants to tell you.The problem is not outside, its inside. To say that we are good people but we’re messed up by a bad society is not true, the problem is within us.

Who/what is the Glory of God?

“For thus says the Lord of hosts: ‘Once more (it is a little while) I will shake heaven and earth, the sea and dry land; and I will shake all nations, and they shall come to the Desire of All Nations, and I will fill this temple with glory,’ says the Lord of hosts. ‘The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine,’ says the Lord of hosts. ‘The glory of this latter temple shall be greater than the...

Heroes of the faith – clouds of witnesses

Mitch Glaser So, we need to please God with our heart. And there’s a list of people who did that. I call them the ‘heroes of the faith’ and there’s a long list of them. Abraham takes centre stage.

The Jewish people and repentance

Mitch Glaser Shalom good morning it’s great to be here. It’s nice to be with you and, thank God we’re all here. You know, that’s a real blessing, isn’t it? Some of us maybe didn’t think we’d make it, but we did. And so, it’s a joy to be with you and to be able to share a little bit of my heart. Now, before I launch into the message that I believe...

Hebrews 11, The Hall of Heroes – Mitch Glaser

I came to faith as a 19-year-old. I was not a good Jewish boy. I was a drug dealer, a hippie, and my hair was all the way down to my back. I was a terrible person you know, but I also was a good middle class Jewish hippie, which meant I knew that, any time I wanted, I could cut my hair, go home, and my parents would put me through college. But I enjoy it, I milked it for as long as I could. I was...

The Blowing of Trumpets

16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 1 Thessalonians 4.13-18 This Month in Prophecy, and it happens to be Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish Festival which began at 18:38 this evening. I just asked a Jewish man when it began, and he said 18:38. So, we’re...
