A Jewish Perspective of the Sermon on the Mount
Category: Wednesday Nights
In spite of what you may have heard, the Sermon on the Mount was not spoken to Christians. In fact, there wasn’t one single Christian present when Jesus taught that day. No, these were all Jews. Spoken by a Jew. Communicated by a Jew. Understood and only correctly interrupted in the context of first century Judaism. Come prepared on Wednesday evenings to change your perspective and gain a more accurate understanding of the greatest sermon ever communicated by the greatest Rabbi who ever lived.
.
In this special series, Dr. Rik Wadge introduces the Hebrew idioms, Jewish contexts, and rabbinic insights in Jesus’ most famous sermon. He will be utilizing a new, Hebrew-based translation of the New Testament that allows English readers to see the Hebraisms of the Master’s teaching and the richness of the Hebrew words. This new Hebrew/English Gospel translation is scheduled for release later this fall by First Fruits of Zion. In addition to this new translation, Dr. Wadge utilizes the teachings from the oral Torah and Rabbinical teachings to provide a unique examination of the scriptures. Join us on Wednesday evenings at 6:30 pm for “A Jewish Perspective of the Sermon on the Mount”.

Wednesday Nights at 6:30 pm – “A Jewish Perspective of the Sermon on the Mount.” Come prepared to change your perspective and gain a more accurate understanding of the greatest sermon ever communicated by the greatest Rabbi who ever lived.
It has been said that Judaism does not need Christianity to explain its existence, but Christianity needs Judaism both to explain its existence and what it believes. Therefore, Christianity has also been termed historically as the Judeo-Christian faith.
.
We at The Well believe we are being led by the Spirit of God into studying the roots of our Christian faith and invariably our search for Truth has brought us to a common point which is the Jewish beginnings of Christianity.
.
To truly have the right interpretation of the Word, is to return to the culture and scriptures of the Jews. To truly understand God from where He has intended for Himself to be revealed and made known, from the Torah and the Jewish culture which had evolved around the Torah and their life in God.
.
The truth is that Judaism was reformed and reshaped, not removed, but made complete in Jesus the Messiah.
