Sunday Shul - Do what Moses Says

In this week’s lesson, Ross covers the subject of “right observance” of the Torah. He begins the class by referring to a quote from the apocryphal work, Sirach. In this passage we are told that those who seek the Torah will be filled with it, but that hypocrites will stumble at it. He then builds on this and teaches from Matthew chapters 15 and 23.

You will not want to miss this class. Ross also covers the subject that was the basis for his article, “The Seat of Moses.”

Sunday Shul - The Shema

In this week’s class Ross takes a closer look at the Shema. He begins the lesson by weaving current events (Faith and Politics) with early American history. He reads a letter that was written by a “famous politician” to an Hebrew congregation on August 17, 1790.

In that letter, this politician quotes from the Hebrew Prophet Micah. It is this text that Ross uses to launch into his class. There in Micah we read that all the people will “walk in the name of their God”, but “we” will walk in the name of YHWH our God.

What will happen that brings people from this to the picture we find in Zechariah 14? This is the subject of this class.

Ross takes a closer look at the Shema and then closes out with the Bible’s most oft repeated formula. Variations of this description of the character of God are found in the following texts:

Exodus 34:6-7
Numbers 14:18-19
Jonah 4:2
Joel 2:13
Micah 7:18
Psalm 86:15; 103:8; 145:8
2 Chronicles 30:9
Nehemiah 9:17, 31

Shalom from the synagogue without walls!

Journey Through the Gospel - The Way of Life

In this week’s lesson, Ross covered the subject of the Way of Life. Beginning in Matthew 7:12-14 as the basis for this class.

He shows that Yeshua laid out “two ways” - one that leads to life and the other that leads to death. He spends the class teaching on the Way of Life.

Reading texts from the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Torah, an ancient Christian document called the Didache, and into the Christian Scriptures, Ross shows a continuity that runs through these texts. The Good way, though represented by a narrow gate and hard road that is difficult to find, can be followed safely to eternal life.

Ross also incorporates the parable of the Good Samaritan in this class.
