In Part 2 of our “Hebrew Roots of Our Faith” series, we continue uncovering the rich foundation of Christianity as rooted deeply in the Hebrew Scriptures and traditions. Building on the Jewishness of Jesus, this message explores the lives and faith of His apostles and the early church. We’ll see that the earliest followers of Jesus were not converts to a new religion, but faithful, Torah-observant Jews who recognized Yeshua (Jesus) as the promised Messiah.
This sermon highlights how the early church emerged not as a break from Judaism, but as a Messianic movement within it—known at the time as the “sect of the Nazarenes.” From Pentecost (Shavuot) to temple worship, the apostles carried their Hebrew faith into the new covenant, pointing to Jesus as the fulfillment of the Law and Prophets.
Discover the significance of the biblical feasts, the Jewish identity of the apostles, and the continued relevance of understanding our faith’s Hebrew foundation—not as a requirement for salvation, but as a deeper lens to view the Gospel.
