How Firm a Foundation?

http://ffoz.org

No man can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. (1 Corinthians 3:11).
The firm foundation of God stands. (2 Timothy 2:19)

Jesus is the foundation of Christianity. The Christian faith is "built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the corner stone" (Ephesians 2:20). Just as the foundation of a house supports and shapes the structure built upon it, Jesus holds up Christianity and shapes it after Himself.

Always Before Me

http://ffoz.org

The Torah is God's foundational revelation to his people. Through it, God opens our eyes not only to how we should behave, but who he is and how to be in relationship with him.

But the blessing found in the Torah does not come automatically. We must immerse ourselves in the Torah's words, occupy ourselves with them, and set them before our eyes and on our lips. We must place the words of the Torah on our hearts and speak of them when we sit in our homes, when we walk along the road, when we lie down, and when we arise (Deuteronomy 6:6-7). God promised Joshua,

Keep The Feast

http://ffoz.org

Today I'm starting to put up the sukkah. I have a special affection for the Festival of Sukkot. Not only is it now fall, my favorite season, but it's a festival that's basically all about hanging out.

Sukkot is yet another example of the differences the Torah makes between those obligated and those not obligated.

You shall dwell in booths for seven days. All native Israelites shall dwell in booths. (Lev. 23:42, emphasis mine)

Closing the Gates

http://ffoz.org

This evening I will stand before God on the most serious day of prayer in the year. Yom Kippur, the Day of Judgment, begins tonight; I will stand before my Creator, account for my actions, words, and intentions. May God have mercy on my soul. May he show me his grace through the atoning sacrifice of his Son.

Moral vs. Ceremonial

http://ffoz.org

At First Fruits of Zion, we teach that the Torah is not cancelled by the Gospel. Unlike the common Christian theology that teaches Jesus abolished the Law, we believe that the Torah is God's eternal, unchanging word. We believe that the Torah's commandments like the Sabbath, the festivals, the dietary laws, and so forth are still relevant to all believers today. However, we see a biblical distinction between a Jewish person's obligation to those things and a Gentile believer's obligation.

Q&A: Divine Invitation

http://ffoz.org

Let me start out by saying how much I respect everyone at FFOZ. I consider you my brothers.

Thank you for writing. I want you to know that I have devoted my life to the establishment of Torah and its implementation in the lives of Christians, Jewish and Gentile both, and that mission and call for which I have sacrificed my entire life, remains steadfastly the same. I want you to know that the entire ministry of FFOZ remains committed to the mission.

One Simple Verse: Galatians 5:3

http://ffoz.org

At First Fruits of Zion we teach that "the commandment is holy and righteous and good" (Romans 7:12) and that all disciples of Yeshua have obligation to the Torah. Even the Gentile disciples of Yeshua will do well to keep the Sabbath, the festivals, and the dietary laws. Our mission is proclaiming the Torah and its way of life, fully centered on Messiah, to today's people of God. We want to see Jewish and Gentile believers everywhere united in the celebration of the Sabbath, the festivals, and the Torah's laws of holiness.

Close Call

http://ffoz.org

Jennifer seemed to be an answer to prayer. I met her last spring at a church Passover seder-ish event. Eager to share her story with a kindred spirit (me), she wept and explained how lonely she felt, stranded between Christianity and Judaism. She really thought that she was the only person to both believe in Jesus as Messiah and believe that the Torah was for her. She had never heard of First Fruits of Zion or any other Torah believing organization or person.

Honesty & Truth

http://ffoz.org

As we have discovered, there are many blessings to be found in living a life of Torah through Messiah. The Father promises to take care of those who call on His name and are obedient to His ways. We will learn in this episode of Mishlei Musings that one of the ways of Hashem is truth. The Messiah always spoke the truth and the Scriptures are clear that this is a requirement of all who follow Him as well.
