It will help Christians understand Jesus from a Jewish perspective, exploring the original context of the Gospels and encouraging active discipleship. Lawrence will teach from Matt 4: 18-22 and John 1: 35-51.

Jesus, the Jewish Rabbi

Join Rabbi Lawrence Hirsch as he brings his Jewish perspective to the exploration of the Bible and Christianity. Messianic Jews believe Yeshua (Jesus) is the promised Messiah of Israel and the Son of God. Rabbi Lawrence was raised in a Jewish family in South Africa, and later moved to Australia where he heard the gospel and became a believer in Yeshua HaMashiach. Lawrence now oversees a vibrant Messianic congregation in Melbourne, Australia, and is the Founder and the Executive Director of Celebrate Messiah Australia, a global missions organisation which seeks to "Bring the Message to the Original Messengers", or the gospel to unsaved Jewish people. In this podcast, Rabbi Lawrence delves deep into the Scriptures, uncovering the profound connections between Jewish and Christian faith. Each episode will illuminate the significance of Jewish traditions and culture, the High Holidays, and the enduring importance of Israel to believers today. "Celebrate Messiah" discovers how the Jewish roots of Christianity can enhance your own walk with the Lord. Learn More: celebratemessiah.com.au
