Testimonials

“Bridges was wonderful. I have been recommending it to my friends. I think it is an excellent instrument to build understanding and "bridges" for the church to understand the Jewish community and our role in it.”

“Perhaps, this is the greatest takeaway of FOI Equip Online – the Bible is truly a Jewish book! When we understand this, it changes the way we see Jewish people. My ultimate hope is that it would compel all of us to love Israel to the Jewish Messiah, Yeshua. ”

“Encounter was the missing piece to my puzzle. I learned more about the Jewish people in that weekend than I could have ever imagined, and I actually experienced life side by side with them.”

Did you know the Bible is a Jewish book from Genesis to Revelation?


It tells the story of God's Chosen People and His plan to bring salvation to the whole world through Jesus the Messiah. The more you learn about the Jewishness of the Bible, the greater your love for Jesus will grow.


Become a part of a growing community of Christians from all around the world who are learning the Bible from its original Jewish perspective.

GABE PENFIELD

Christmas is here, and with it comes the hustle and bustle of the season. In the midst of this season, have you taken time to ponder the child you’re celebrating? Isaiah 9:6 speaks of a child who would bring joy, hope, and peace to a weary world. This child is described with four incredible names — names that reveal His divine power and everlasting reign. Join Gabe Penfield as he unpacks this powerful prophecy and discover for yourself the life-changing message of Isaiah 9:6!

The Depth of Hesed

DR. JOE ZHAKEVICH
JANUARY 15

Did you know there’s a single word in the Old Testament that shows up more than 250 times—yet no English translation can fully capture its meaning? That word is Hesed. Since it’s one of the key words used to describe God’s character, understanding Hesed is essential. In this course, Dr. Joe Zhakevich, an expert in biblical Hebrew, will help us see how rich and powerful this word really is. Start the year with a study you won’t forget!

Should We Still Bless Israel?

BRUCE SCOTT
TY PERRY
CAMERON JOYNER

FEBRUARY 12 & 19

In recent days, well-known voices—even some trusted by Christians—have begun questioning Israel’s place in God’s plan and whether the Bible really calls us to bless the Jewish people. It’s time to respond. Join Bruce Scott, Ty Perry, and Cameron Joyner as they examine and answer popular arguments raised by figures such as Joel Webbon, Tucker Carlson, and others. Together, they’ll address pressing questions: Are the Jewish people of today the same people we read about in Scripture? How do believers bless a nation that is largely secular? Most importantly, you’ll walk away prepared to answer the central question: Should Christians Bless Modern Israel?
