The Messianic Movement has come about because people have sought to recover a biblical understanding of the Torah/Law of God and its application to our lives as believers in Messiah Yeshua (Jesus Christ). The following article suggests that if we hope to establish generational, biblical, Yeshua-centered communities, we must have a similar reformation and reclamation in the area of ecclesiology (the biblical doctrine of the “ekklesia/assembly”) as well. In this

I heard a Jewish woman who had come to recognize Jesus / Yeshua as the Jewish Messiah in her thirties and who is a co-founder of a Messianic Jewish congregation conclude her personal story of coming to understand and love Him by saying “I’m a Jew and I’ll always be a Jew.” Of course she was reflecting the cultural tradition, “I was born a Jew and I’ll die a Jew.”

If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. – Mark 3:24-25 For the one whose heart is aimed toward the God of Israel, one of the great blessings He bestows is the ability to see Life within the words we read in Scripture. We read a verse and it takes on a meaning that helps, comforts

We live in an age when far too many people have experienced either a bent and sugary love devoid of boundaries, or a stern and legalistic law divorced from grace. Too often, these extremes are practiced by those who most vigorously proclaim their exclusive possession of “The Truth.” Not only is the world largely unimpressed with our faulty display of God’s nature, but our congregations are increasingly abandoned by disillusioned

Photo by Raja Islam I recently had the opportunity to speak at an A.R.I. (Alliance of Redeemed Israel) Gathering in Orlando, Florida. The theme of the conference was worship. Many speakers gave wonderful presentations on various aspects of what worship is, as well as what worship is not. Yet, there was a very clear underlying theme of unity and reconciliation that acted as the hub of all the messages. My

The content of this article is based on Daniel Botkin’s address to those assembled for the Messianic Israel Alliance (now Alliance of Redeemed Israel) Conference in Nashville on July, 2006. The theme of the conference was One People, One Promise, One Purpose. הִנֵּ֣ה מַה־טֹּ֭וב וּמַה־נָּעִ֑ים שֶׁ֖בֶת אַחִ֣ים גַּם־יָֽחַד “Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to

One of the main purposes of these lessons is to discuss the redefining of scriptural words. Some redefining does not cause life-altering changes. However, some are very important, and need to be revealed and thought about. We are in a battle with haSatan for the lives of those he wishes to deceive and destroy. We have discussed recently how knowing the truth is a continuation of YHVH’s word (Yochanan (John)

With map or directions in hand, we look intently for street signs and road markers as we try to find our way. Then we come to an intersection where we must turn either right or left, and discover that

One of the great advantages of viewing the Christian faith from a Jewish perspective is the door it opens for looking at things from a different angle—for asking questions one would otherwise never ask. For some time I have been asking questions about the Lord’s Table, as well as the ritual of baptism performed in the traditional Christian church. The questions I’ve been asking myself relate to the origin of
