Hebrews 11, The Hall of Heroes – Mitch Glaser

H

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...

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...

The Resurrection and the Jewish Messiah

T

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...

Should Jesus be shared with Jewish people?

S

Christianity may have been intended to be good news but has been bad news to Jewish people and, sadly, one must look at the history of official Christianity, Roman Catholicism, Russian Orthodox Christians, and all denominations of the church which have consistently pressed and persecuted the Jewish people in the name of Jesus.By about the time you get to the 4th century, the general idea was that...

S

Today we’re going to continue looking at passage in Exodus 24 which I read two or three weeks ago. When I finished the talk on Exodus 24, I referred to a verse which speaks about how the elders of Israel who went up on the mountain with Moses and how they saw God.
