  • 61 – A Call for Radical Discipleship | Bill Scofield

    61 – A Call for Radical Discipleship | Bill Scofield
    Nov 12 2024
    Yeshua called his followers to radical discipleship—a life lived entirely for the coming kingdom. His teachings equip us for the suffering and hardship we are destined to experience as we await that kingdom. For those from relatively affluent societies, this first-century Jewish model might seem archaic, but Yeshua’s apocalyptic worldview is still a foundational component of our faith. Bill Scofield joins us to talk about his church in Redding, California, which he planted with discipleship as its sole focus. Bill will be speaking at Tzadi Advance, an event for young adults aged 18–35, from January 2–6, 2025, in Fountain Run, KY. – Episode Highlights – 00:00 Introduction to Bill Scofield and his ministry. 03:00 Discipleship: The Core of Bill’s Vision. 07:28 Understanding Discipleship: A First-Century Perspective. 12:28 Preparing for Trials: The Two Foundations Parable. 22:34 Love Leads to Obedience and Sometimes Visa Versa. 25:29 Treasures in Heaven: The Heart of Generosity. 28:30 Continuing in Grace: Stewardship vs. Appreciation. 37:57 The Cost of Discipleship: A Call to Radical Commitment. 48:24 Invitation to Tzadi Advance: Worth It. – Episode Resources – Bill Scofield on X: https://x.com/wscofield77 The Apocalyptic Gospel Podcast: https://www.apocalypticgospel.com Gospel Training Community: https://www.gospeltrainingcommunity.org Tzadi Advance: https://ffoz.org/events/tzadi-advance-2024 Messiah Podcast is a production of First Fruits of Zion (https://ffoz.org) in conjunction with Messiah Magazine.

  • 60 – The Sent Ones: Acts of the Jewish Apostles

    60 – The Sent Ones: Acts of the Jewish Apostles
    Sep 10 2024
    Why did the church break away from Judaism? Why did a small group of followers of a first-century rabbi start a new religion that was different from his? This fall, as a new biblical year begins, First Fruits of Zion’s Torah Club small-group Bible study program embarks on a new journey. It’s called The Sent Ones: Acts of the Jewish Apostles. The Sent Ones will take students through the book of Acts and beyond, exploring and explaining the great divorce between Judaism and Christianity. Our guest for this episode, First Fruits of Zion’s Director of Education, Daniel Thomas Lancaster, will explain what this Bible study is about and why this knowledge is so critical for us today. – Episode Highlights – 00:00 Welcome Daniel Thomas Lancaster to Messiah Podcast. 02:31 What is Torah Club and what is the next Torah Club study theme? 04:33 What is the biblical definition of an apostle? 06:42 Why is Paul regarded as an apostle? 11:09 The book of Acts seems like Paul becomes the preeminent apostle. 12:43 Detective work to discover the stories of the apostles. 18:35 Judaism and Catholicism are rich with stories of their respective heroes of old. 24:28 A Jewish perspective of Acts provides important context for theology and religious practice. 31:23 Why did ancient Christianity jettison so quickly from Judaism? 32:58 How studying Acts can help us be better disciples in the twenty-first century. 39:44 Opportunity lost: The Sent Ones will study Jewish and church history until the mid-second century. 46:37 Learning Geography: Best to study the Bible with a map. 47:54 What will a student of The Sent Ones gain? – Episode Resources – Torah Club: http://torahclub.org/ Messiah Podcast is a production of First Fruits of Zion (https://ffoz.org) in conjunction with Messiah Magazine.

Relevant, challenging, and inspiring

The First Fruits Of Zion team continues to deliver interesting, challenging, relevant, and inspiring content. I’ve wished that FFOZ would put out a podcast for years and it’s great to see the team come together and enter the podcasting world with flair. Joshua and Aaron‘s music provides a great theme track for the show. I look forward to hearing and learning from future discussions they have with scholars and biblical thinkers that are working together to connect and grow the message in a Jewish movement.

A Good Study Beyond The "Study"

This study was actually very interesting. however I do agree somewhat with the other review in that it would benefit from allowing full expression of the story before commenting. nevertheless I found it very interesting and was still able to enjoy this perspective.
