As we have already noted the Scriptures teach there are two phases or stages in Messiah's return. In the first stage Messiah will come "personally" (John 14:3; I Thessalonians 4:16), will come "for the believers" (John 14:3; I Thessalonians 4:17) and will come to the clouds (I Thessalonians 4:17). This first stage is referred to as the "rapture" of…

Rabbi Gary continues to consider the promise of Messiah's coming again. Acts 1:9-11 records the ascension of Messiah into the heavens. As Luke records the event, he focuses attention upon what the disciples saw. In verse 9 we read the phrases, "while they were looking," and "a cloud (the Shekinah glory) took Him up away from their sight." Then in v…

Alan Radecki leads our celebration of Purim. The worship will lift our hearts before the Lord. We have a special worship-in-dance presentation, we read through portions of the book of Esther in a special “Reader’s Theater” format, and use our "groggers."

When first venturing into the study of the return of Messiah, one can be easily confused by the seemingly contradictory statements regarding Yeshua's second coming. There are statements that speak of Messiah coming for his own, as well as his coming visibly for the whole world to see. There are verses that speak of Messiah coming to judge the works…

Over the next few weeks at our services I …

In the closing chapter of his book, Zechariah writes of the wonderful promise of the return of Yeshua the Messiah. He states, "...his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives which is before Jerusalem on the east..." (Zechariah 14:4).

Zechariah 13:7 states: "Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, against the man who is close to me." God the Father struck his own Shepherd, Yeshua the Messiah, to provide Israel with an atonement for sin. By faith in him, his atoning sacrifice can both forgive and cleanse us, while saving us from the penalty and power of sin. Link to download Zechari…

However, rather than being accepted and embraced by the people for whom he came - he…
