CELEBRATING OUR JEWISH ROOTS
by Brenda Ratcliff
This study will focus on our roots, as Christians, in the Jewish faith. We will look specifically at the feasts that God ordained in the Old Testament and their application to our lives today. Emphasis will be placed on how each feast was celebrated in Jesus' day, which feasts find their fulfillment in Christ, how they are celebrated by Jews today, and why they are so meaningful to us as believers.
