• What the Jews Were Expecting About the Messiah:
– The New Covenant (NC)
– How Can the NC be a Worldwide Blessing to the Gentiles?
– The Coming Conquering Messiah
– The Coming “Suffering Servant” Messiah
– If the NC is for the Jews, What About the Gentiles?

What expectations did the Jews have for the coming Messiah? Listen to this message to learn that the Jews had two very different views of the Messiah when He came and failed to distinguish between His two advents. They focused on the view that He would be a conqueror who would deliver His people from the nations who had conquered them, and failed to recognize Him as the suffering servant as described in Isaiah 53. See how this failure contributed to their rejection of Him during Christ's first advent.

How should a husband love his wife? Listen to this message to learn the biblical meaning of loving others. See that the example is how Christ loved the Church and gave Himself for her. Find out the purpose for this and hear a number of definitions of love, including the biblical definition which differs from the pagan culture's idea of love. Learn that it is impossible to display this kind of love with our own efforts, but when we are walking by means of the Holy Spirit we can accomplish it. This kind of love is not just for husbands, but for all believers so be challenged to study and learn about it.

This Bible study includes a brief message from Dr. Tim Sigler, CEO of Ariel Ministries.
