The Torah Portions for 2024-2025 with relevant New Testament passages are below.
Yeshua said if they had believed Moses they would have believed Him. We also know from Acts 15 that the first century Christians studied Moses on Shabbat. To learn about the Messiah and follow in the steps of the first believers, we are studying the Torah portions this year.
Entries without NT portions will be added each week. We will be discussing these on Shabbat each week. Feel free to watch the study at 1pm Central time on our YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@firstcenturychristianity. If you’d like to join the discussion through Zoom, join our mailing list and that link will be sent out through there. We encourage participation so please study ahead of time!
