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.

Finding Messiah in Unexpected Places

DR. MICHAEL RYDELNIK
JUNE 5 & 12

For many years, Israel anticipated the arrival of the Messiah, with the Hebrew Scriptures containing many prophecies about Him. But what if we’ve been missing something? Dr. Michael Rydelnik, renowned professor at Moody Bible Institute, believes two key passages are often overlooked. Join him this June as he uncovers hidden Messianic prophecies and helps you see Scripture in a new light. Could these verses change the way you understand the Messiah?

Judaism Today

BRUCE SCOTT
JULY 3, 10, 17

How well do you understand what Jewish people believe today? While many are familiar with biblical Judaism, modern Jewish beliefs and practices vary widely. Join Bruce Scott in an insightful discussion on Orthodox, Conservative, and Reform Judaism, and discover how this knowledge can help you be a better friend to the Jewish people in your life.

Isaiah 53: Could This Be Jesus?

DR. WILL VARNER
SEPTEMBER 11 & 18

Ask nearly any Jewish believer what led them to faith in Jesus as the Messiah, and they’ll likely mention Isaiah 53. But is this passage truly pointing to Jesus Christ? If you've ever wrestled with that question, this two-part class is for you. Join Dr. Will Varner as he carefully unpacks the meaning of Isaiah 53 and explores its powerful connection to the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.
