Mark Huey delivers the January 2021 Outreach Israel News update.
Mark and Margaret Huey, and John McKee offer some of their anticipations and opinions, as we enter into calendar year 2021.
Mark Huey of Outreach Israel Ministries discusses the great significance of how increasing numbers of Believers in the Messiah Yeshua (Christ Jesus), who worship the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, are studying more and more about the ancient origins of their faith in the Scriptures of Israel. Something is happening among people as the Bible is being reexamined to dig for truths which have often been overlooked by the masses of Christianity. Thousands are being encouraged to return to the foundations of our faith in the Tanakh (Old Testament), and it is deepening their walk and commitment to the Lord.
Issues involving men and women in the Body of Messiah, are not too frequently discussed in today’s Messianic movement, unless they are from a relatively strict complementarian viewpoint. John McKee of Messianic Apologetics approaches the subject of men and women from an egalitarian perspective. In this episode, traditional and customary approaches to women exercising or not exercising, a place of authority, teaching, and influence, are reviewed.
Anyone, who surveys the spectrum of today’s broad Messianic movement, should be able to acknowledge that something very unique and special is going on, and that God is truly moving! Four to five decades ago in the late 1960s, the contemporary Messianic Jewish movement formally began, some thinking that its arrival on the scene was connected to the retaking of the Old City of Jerusalem by Israel in 1967. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, many Messianic Jewish congregations and fellowships began being planted in North America and across the world, as places where Jewish Believers could believe in Yeshua (Jesus) as the Messiah, and still maintain a high level of being Jewish—keeping the seventh-day Sabbath/Shabbat, the appointed times, kosher, and having a generally traditional Synagogue experience, hopefully still feeling connected to other Jews.
J.K. McKee of Messianic Apologetics responds to three categories of questions: Tanach (OT), Apostolic Scriptures (NT), and theology/Biblical Studies.
1. What do you think is the best way to facilitate a plural discussion on views for Genesis 1-11?
2. I have noticed a trend in the Torah movement away from a pre-millennial reading of the Book of Revelation.
3. Why does your ministry not host its own local congregation or fellowship?
Mark Huey of Outreach Israel Ministries delivers the following message on the Torah portion for this week: V’yechi or “He lived.”
Mark and Margaret Huey, and John McKee discuss how many in the Body of Messiah have gotten somewhat impatient, regarding all of the difficult matters of 2020.

J.K. McKee of Messianic Apologetics reviews Romans 11:6, and whether or not it lends support to the idea that the Torah or Law of Moses has been abolished for the post-resurrection era.
