Who Killed Yeshua?

John 10:17-18

For this reason the Father loves Me, because I lay down My life so that I may take it again. No one takes it away from Me, but from Myself, I lay it down. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This commandment I received from My Father.”

• It took until 1965 for the Roman Catholic Church to revise their position and admit that the Jews didn't kill Christ. The deicide accusation, (the killing of God), is not biblically accurate. Yeshua Himself clarified that He gave His own life (in His humanity) in accordance with the plan of the Father. The Jews didn't kill Christ, we all did. The death of Messiah was critical to His atonement for the sins of the world. His resurrection was also part of the plan and without it, He would just be a dead body of a false messiah, but the tomb is empty! Praise God for an empty tomb.

Take An Inventory

July 2, 2024 • Olivier Melnick • Acts 7:51–53

Acts 7:51-53 “You men—stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears—are always resisting the Holy Spirit. As your fathers did, so do you. And which one of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? They killed those who had previously announced the coming of the Righteous One, whose betrayers and murderers you have now become; you who received the Law as ordained by angels, and yet did not observe it.” • Stephen retold the story of his people and how God had protected them and provided for them over the years in so many ways. He accused them in no uncertain terms, and reminded them that their fathers had a reputation of killing the prophets and resisting messages from the Lord. Looking back at God's work in their lives, they should have been nothing but grateful for His provision and protection. When was last time you took time to take an inventory of all that God Has done for you?

Why Would He Care?

July 3, 2024 • Olivier Melnick • Acts 8:3–4

Psalm 8:3-4 When I see Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have established; What is man that You remember him, And the son of man that You care for him? • The psalmist is in awe at God's creation and everything that surrounds him. We should be in awe as well, but what is more worthy of noticing is that the very same God who created the heavens, the moon and stars, created us and wants a personal relationship with us. He is never forcing us into a relationship but gave us a free choice to worship and adore Him. No other deity in the history of mankind comes even close to the personal God who loves us and sent His Son to die for us. Let Him know how grateful you are today!

Breaking Bread in Unity!

June 24, 2024 • Olivier Melnick • Acts 2:46–47

And daily devoting themselves with one accord in the temple and breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord was adding to their number daily those who were being saved. • When the Body of Messiah was born in Jerusalem, there were no denominations, creeds, or church buildings, but simply men and women who put their trust in the death and resurrection of Yeshua the Messiah. Manmade regulations and differences started to appear, dividing the Body into many denominations way beyond what Yeshua started. Sound doctrine and good theology are essential to a healthy Christianity, but have we gone far beyond the major tenets of the faith? While never compromising on the majors, how much more effective would we be if we displayed more unity?
