Roots and Foundations
From One in Messiah
The Message of Salvation through the Scriptures
The Torah Class
This is a basic study of the Torah, the Books of Moses,
that are also known as the Books of the Law. It will give you a basic understanding of Torah and also emphasizes how Torah prefigures the Messiah.
These are links to a series of videos divided into 33 parts as well as an introduction and a conclusion. Each of the programs is a little over an hour long. They can be viewed at your convenience.
Why study the Torah?
That is a commonly asked question by many Christians. In the Torah, God reveals Himself and His Law. He establishes a Covenant with His people, the Israelites. This is the Covenant of Law.
In these books, God prefigures what Jesus the Messiah would be like, what He would do, how Salvation would come to Mankind, and most importantly, that a New Covenant would be given, the Covenant of Grace!
