"How To Grow In Messiah's Passion For Israel And God's Written Word" Vayetze Matthew 15-16

Teaching on Genesis 28-32 and Matthew 15-16. Knowing Yeshua's passion for the Jewish people and the word of God. Yeshua came across as cold and racist in at least once instance, why. Mission to disconnected, the non-religious, the marginalized, the fringe, the "lost". Evaluating historical Christian missiological priorities. Mashiach's two-pronged mission to the Jewish community and to the Gentile world. How the Jewish story glorifies God for his faithfulness, and the Gentile story glorifies God for his mercy. Quote from Justin Martyr's Dialogue with Trypho the Jew on correlation between Leah, the Jewish people and synagogue, and weak eyes, and Rachel, the Gentile ekklesia, and idolatry. Mistaken application of buzzword "lost sheep of house of Israel" to northern tribes, Ephraim. Gentile isn't a dirty word. Did Paul address non-Jewish believers as Gentiles. Neither Yeshua's death, nor the destruction of the first and second Temples, cancelled God's covenants to Israel. Practical ways to foster Messiah's passion for the Jewish people in you. Identify with Israel, say us and we instead of them and they. Get acquainted with the Jewish people. Read history books, watch documentaries, get a Siddur. Structure community tone and lingo to be welcoming and friendly to Jewish people. Dangers of homeostasis and hilarious example from sheperds of Aram. Yeshua lay into the entrenched religious people. Commandments versus traditions. Example of command to make talmidim for the Master. Ways we invalidate God's commands with traditions in the Christian and Jewish worlds.
