Many Christians are unaware of the Jewish roots of their faith. Although Jesus was Jewish and actively observed all the Jewish festivals, traditions and customs, many have cast the Jewish people off as irrelevant in this Christian era. Without the Jewish people, there would be no salvation for non-Jewish people. However the Word states this about Israel. “For if their being cast away is the reconciling of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?” Romans 11:18. We live in an amazing day, when many Israelis are finding Yeshua, their Jewish Messiah.

The lesson in this message is to seek God afresh about everything in your life and allow Him to direct you. He will lead you to victory upon victory!

While longing for another fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit, we should not be fooled by the counterfeit, nor should we miss what the Holy Spirit is doing in our day just because it doesn't look like we thought it would.

Many believers want an abundance of God's grace and peace, but they are unwilling to put forth the effort to get to know Him better through bible study and prayer. To enjoy the privileges God offers us freely, we need to grow in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.

When we are born again, we are made to be new creatures in Christ, but our soul requires restoration. This is a work of the Holy Spirit through the Word of God as we seek to renew our minds. In this way, we will be free from past hurts and lies, and can walk in genuine victory, ready to fulfill all that the Lord has for us.

According to the Book of Acts, at first people were added to their numbers and then greatly multiplied. Learning to become such a disciple is vital to the future of the church.

Fresh out of the gate on the day of Pentecost, the new believers were radical, committed, conscientious, and passionate. According to the Book of Acts, at first people were added to their numbers and then greatly multiplied. Their reputation for zealous reproduction of disciples earned them a reputation for turning their world upside down. Outsiders called them Christians meaning “Little Christs”. God wants more than belief and worship in church. He wants faith and love in action outside of the church. These early radicals were committed! It was a cause worth living for and it was a cause worth dying for, so these disciples became great disciple makers.

The theme of covenant winds through the Old Testament and into the New. God is a covenant keeper. His Son Jesus became the mediator of the New Covenant, a better covenant established on better promises.
