Center for Judaic-Christian Studies

We launched a new series in our weekly Shabbat Study: Encountering the Holy.

"By reconnecting with our roots, we come to a much-needed understanding of and distinction between the holy and the profane, the sacred and the secular.

That is the point of this study. We want to know the mind of Messiah Yeshua when he taught us to pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. To do so, we must return to the prophets of Israel and hear them with new ears."

Alive in the Light | JC Studies Here is the conclusion of this study: The better you understand God's grace, the more adept you become at receiving and working with that grace.

If there is any place in all the Bible where you see a God who is patient, kind, and compassionate, it is in the Old Testament, the Bible of Jesus and his earliest followers. It is in His dealings with Israel. He is a God who literally bends over backwards for His covenant people, urging, beckoning, calling, waiting for them to turn around, repent, and come back to Him.

Jehovah | JC Studies Let's watch grace at work in one of my favorite chapters, Exodus 34. Mark this passage, memorize it if you're able. This is God in truth, without distortion.

A Word that Changes Everything | JC Studies What is the solution to frustrating the grace of God in our lives?

Our forefather in the faith, James, coaches us to: Submit yourselves to God (4:7). What is the result? Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. In case we missed his logic, he tells us again how we are to push back against darkness: Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you (4:8).

Next week begins the biblical Fall Feast cycle, an annual opportunity to draw near! This time is divinely designed to rekindle first love and a commitment to following hard after Jesus.
