This 5 session mini conference was recently done in our hometown. It centers around the origins of the Scriptures based in a First Century Jewish Apocalyptic worldview. Understanding how the apostles understood reality, in relation to the narrative of the Scriptures, helps us to understand what the gospel is today and frames how we ourselves can participate.

Session 1-2: Introduction to Jewish Cruciform Apocalyptic

Session 3-4: Jesus and the Kingdom of God

Q and A

Session 5-Eschatology and Discipleship

My longterm friend Joel Richardson, with whom we did house church with in KC long ago, recently visited our fellowship in Colorado. He did this teaching that is a revised version of his book Sinai to Zion surveying Old Testament prophecy concerning Who the Messiah was destined to be according to the Scriptures. This session is gold for anyone concerned with the question of Who is this Jesus we worship?

His website www.joelstrumpet.com has many more teachings of this sort and his YouTube channel is @JoelRichardson. There are truly few men like him in the earth seeking to be so true to the message of the Scriptures as he is.
