Torah for Today

The Biblical life personally and within community can be likened to building a home. When building a house one must start with a foundation. The foundation of the Biblical house is the Torah. The word Torah means “instruction.” We can think of the first five books of the Bible as the blue prints for the follower of Yeshua the Messiah.

Once a foundation is built the house can be framed. Most homes have four sides. In the Torah we have four such sides and they are called covenants. Later the bible will give us four gospels establishing the framework around the first coming of Messiah. These four gospels were resting on the covenants of the Hebrew Bible. Four of which are found in the Torah. These four covenants create a framework for the chosen people of G-d. (Exodus 19:5-6.) They provide for us today the framework from which we glean how to live, work and disciple the nations. (1 Peter 2:9-10).

This class will focus in on an overview of the first five books of the bible in terms of history, culture and covenant. The links will be given to the Apostolic writings and the power they carry for our lives today.
