Thomas, one of the original followers of Yeshua, became known as "doubting Thomas." The truth is, God met Thomas in his pain, suffering & doubt so that he could believe and be an eyewitness of Yeshua's death and resurrection. Today, God wants to meet you in your pain, suffering and doubt right in the middle of all that is happening in the world. So, How do you deal with all the feelings you feel during a pandemic?

The Hope of Israel - Part 2

May 30, 2020 • Matt Rosenberg

Part 2 of the Hope of Israel: We continue to examine the harvest holiday, Shavuot. In Jewish tradition, Shavuot is the day that the Torah was given to Moses. In the New Testament, Shavuot is the giving of the Holy Spirit. Same day; and it’s no coincidence! Many see the birth of the church and Christianity in Acts 2, but what really happened according to the text? God made himself known as the hope of the Jewish people. It all took place in the Temple Courts in Jerusalem, spoken in Hebrew on the day of Shavuot, so that the Jewish people could invite the Gentiles into the family of God. It was God's plan to save the whole world, Jew and Gentile, because everyone belongs in the family of God!

In Jewish tradition, Shavuot is the day the Torah was given to Moses. In the New Testament, Shavuot is the giving of the Holy Spirit. Same day and no coincidence! While many believe Acts 2 is the birth of the Church the disciples understood that what happened to them there was equal in importance to what happened on Mt. Sinai. It was the empowerment by the Holy Spirit that gave them the revelation to preach the Gospel for the first time to Jewish people, in the Temple courts, in Jerusalem! Today, the Holy Spirit still empowers followers of Yeshua to turn from our sins, lead us to better living and save us from judgement.
