Sitting at the Feet of Rabbi Jesus: Chapters 11-14

Why was Jesus so focused on proclaiming that the kingdom of God had arrived on earth? In this supplement to Chapters 11-14, watch a Torah scroll rolled back to Genesis for Simchat Torah, learn about the dyeing process that made the color blue for the tassels, and connect the dots to see how Jesus brought God's reign to earth in his ministry. We also learn about the debates of Hillel and Shammai and even watch a soferet (female scribe) write a Torah scroll.

“Mary…sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said” (Luke 10:39). Join us in this 5-week study of Sitting at the Feet of Rabbi Jesus by Ann Spangler and Lois Tverberg, as we learn about the Jewishness of Jesus in a way that will enrich your Christian faith. By studying the Jewish roots of the Christian faith, we will “retune our hearing and thinking” so that we can understand Jesus better and hear him “with the ears of a first-century disciple,” just like Mary did.
