Theological Swimming 101

This 10-hour seminar is an enlightening experience presenting a revolutionary understanding of the sacrificial system. It synthesizes the New Testament with the Old Testament in such a manner as to eliminate the seeming conflict between a legalistic God and a gracious, loving Father. Designed to encourage the believer, it defuses the skeptics who discount the Bible due to their misunderstandings of time and languages.

Topics include:

  • "Think not that I have come to destroy the Law"

  • Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God

  • Sacrifice:  What was it good for?

  • Type and Antitype

  • Losing Your Faith because of Bad Grammer?

  • Kippor, a Different Kind of Covering

  • Jesus, our High Priest of the Order of Melchizedek

  • Why did Jesus have to die?

  • Jesus, Our Passover Lamb

Paul: False Apostle or Falsely Accused?

Paul the Apostle has for centuries been the poster boy for "Doing away with the Torah" in traditional Christianity and Judaism. He is considered by many outside of Christianity to be one of the false apostles Yeshua‘ warned us about. It is now being taught that Sha’ul (Paul) is actually the man of sin and the son of perdition that he himself writes about in 2 Thessalonians! His writings are still being seen from a Greek/Western point of view and twisted to conform to modern religious views regarding the instructions of our Father. In this series, Brad addresses the halahkic and ’aggadic background of Shau’ul's words, followed by a detailed look at many of the passages that Paul's accusers are proclaiming as evidence that he was a false witness, the founder of Christianity, hated by the other apostles, and that he actually despised the Torah.

Shavuot (Pentecost) -

 

Yom Teruah (Feast of Trumpets)-

Each year, Tim and Angie Kelley host a Yom Teruah Celebration at their home in East Texas.  We praise YHVH for this special 'Moed', the first day of the fall Holy Day season that commemorates the wedding of the Messiah as well as the beginning of the 'birthpains of the Messiah' or 'tribulation' as it's known in Christian circles.

Bring your Shofar and enjoy this festival with us as we sing, dance, blow the Shofar, and spend the evening praising and worshipping YHVH and His son, Yeshua the Messiah.

Sukkot  (Feast of Tabernacles) -  

Ami Yisrael's main event each year is the Season of Our Joy - the festival of Sukkot.  Sukkot pictures the Millineal Kingdom of YHVH, the time when Yeshua returns to Earth and begins the establishment of His kingdom as He rules and reigns in Jerusalem.
