A recent taskforce on teaching, comprised of elders, evangelists and teachers, proposed a vision statement for our church: “We believe that in-depth, comprehensive and quality teaching is essential for building and maturing the church and should be provided in every ministry setting for the purpose of Biblically grounding and strengthening the disciples of Jesus.”

Progress in our Teaching Ministries

There has been a consensus in our fellowship that depth of knowledge of the Bible is a weakness in our churches. Many bemoan the relative Bible illiteracy amongst the typical members in our congregations. I am blessed to get around to a lot of the our churches around the world. I have gotten the impression as I travel to churches across the US and on every continent that the ship is turning in the right direction. I would like to give a couple of brief anecdotes representing why I feel this is the case and suggest just a couple of practical steps individual members of our churches can take who have the conviction that we need deeper study of the Bible in our fellowship.

Messianic Significance of Shavuot (Pentecost)

The Jewish holiday of Shavuot begins sundown Tuesday night June 7, 2011. Jews around the world welcome this time, which is also referred to as the “Feast of weeks” ;“Pentecost” ; or “Season of the giving of the law”. It derives its name from the fact that it was to occur exactly 7 weeks from the Sabbath day after Passover. Many disciples do not realize the tremendous significance of this holiday and even fewer understand its correlation with the beginning of the church as described in the second chapter of Acts.

Appreciating the significance of Passover

Why is this Night Different Than All Other Nights?

“Get rid of the old yeast that you may be a new batch without yeast-as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. Therefore let us keep the Festival, not with the old yeast, the yeast of malice and wickedness, but with bread without yeast, the bread of sincerity and truth.” I Corinthians 5:7
