Jewish Roots (Part 1)

The Jewish Roots MovementSteve Gregg
Jewish Roots (Part 1) by Steve Gregg discusses the Jewish Roots Movement and its focus on Jewish believers in the Messiah. The movement emphasizes the belief that God desires Jewish people to adhere to the Torah, the Jewish law. While some Christians see the movement as elevating the status of Jewish roots, there is no inherent superiority for being Jewish in the faith. The lecture also explores the role of Messianic Jews in God's plan and their unique witness, as well as the challenges they face in maintaining their Jewish identity.
