Trinity Festival 2010
Saturday-Sunday, April 17-18, 2010
The Jewish Roots of the Christian Faith
"Salvation is from the Jews" 1
So said our Savior. And no wonder, for to the Jews "belong the patriarachs, and from their race, according to the flesh, is the Christ who is God over all, blessed forever. Amen."2
One cannot fully understand and appreciate the Christian faith without knowing at least something about its Jewish roots.
We are privileged to have Rev. Steve Schlissel as our speaker for this year’s Trinity Festival to teach us help us grow in our understanding of these things. Steve is the pastor of Messiah’s Covenant Community Church in
Brooklyn and overseer of Urban Nations, an outreach ministry to the immigrant population of New York. He is an astute observer and critic of contemporary society, and his teaching is filled with profound insights into the meaning and application of Scripture to all areas of life. He is truly a modern day son of Issachar who understands the times, to know what Israel ought to do.3
Our format will be a bit different this year. All our conference sessions will be held on Saturday, April 17. Block off the entire day! Cancel whatever you've already got planned! We'll have two sessions in the morning and three in the afternoon (with a hamburger feed in between). It will be a long day, but the teaching will more than reward your effort. It will open the Bible to your
understanding like never before...guaranteed!
The following day, Steve will speak during Sunday school and deliever the sermon during the morning worship service.
Here is some of what you will learn:
