Yeshua: This Jewish man with an ordinary name, “Yeshua”, was anything but ordinary. This six week series is a journey through the history, culture, and traditions of first century Judaism. Each step along the way we see Jesus turn the accepted forms of life and worship upside down. In doing so he not only challenges the assumptions of his own day; but challenges us as we examine our own expectations of who he truly is. In four educational and challenging talks Dave Terpstra explains Yeshua as a Jew, a rabbi, a radical, and the Messiah.  Jared Mackey offers the contrast of the Jewish ritual of mikvah and Christian ordinance of baptism. And the series concludes with guest teacher, Justin Kron, walking though a Jewish Passover Seder and illuminating the person of Jesus found within its’ symbolism. “Yeshua” gives followers of Christ a greater sense of the world Jesus stepped into, the expectations and customs of Jewish culture, and ultimately how a Jew with an ordinary name would change the world.
