Ministry Statement Having had a particular interest and involvement with the Jewish people from the age of fourteen, I have come to understand that the Jewish people are the key to understanding Scripture, theology, and...
Yeshua the Prophet like Moses is Born
For some, the Christmas narrative has become trite, something to be toyed with, but the story of the infant in the manager is not some fairy tale. It is the revelation of the King-Like-David, the Redeemer of Israel and the Nations.
Water for an Israelite
The Samaritans, who only acknowledge the Pentateuch as inspired, were looking for Moses' successor, the giver of water. It's the woman at the well who first puts the pieces together and recognizes the long-awaited...
The Temptation in the Wilderness
Jesus fasts 40 days in the wilderness as Moses does. This and other parallels with Israel are expressions of Jesus’ ministry as the ultimate, prophesied Prophet—the One to whom Israel must harken. Third in a year-long series.

Judah Monis: “First” American Jewish Believer
Who was the first Jewish believer in North America? It all depends on what one means by the word, “first.” In truth, only the Lord knows. Hugh J. Schonfield says, “When Christopher Columbus set out on his voyage that led to the discovery of the New World, there were … Jewish Christians among the members of his own crew.” Unfortunately, he offers no documentation. Others have tried (unsuccessfully, in my opinion) to prove that Christopher Columbus, himself, was a Christian of Jewish descent.
