Around 8 years ago Rev. Daniel U’Ren, Senior Minister at Western Oaks Christian Church started hosting a Lenten series called “Soup for the Soul”. In the past Western Oaks has done studies on Hospitality, Community, Justice, and Love Thy Neighbor. This year, given the growing feeling of being fragmented and divided in the country and the world, the topic is “Shalom”.

This year Western Oaks is happy to welcome Rabbi Abby Jacobson, Dr. John Starkey, Sen. Rev. Dr. George Young, and Dr. Imam Imad Enchassi as guest speakers.

FCC Moore Hosts “Christ in the Passover”

Please join First Christian Church Moore on Monday, April 15, 2019 at 7 pm to hear a presentation called “Christ in the Passover”. The presentation will show how each component of the Seder meal/Passover celebration pointed to Jesus. Jesus’ Last Supper was actually a Jewish Passover. Shoshannah Weinisch of Jews for Jesus will re-create the traditional Passover service and explain how it foreshadowed Jesus’ death and resurrection.

Shoshannah Weinisch will set a table with items traditionally used at the Passover meal and detail their spiritual significance. She will also explain the connection between the events of the first Passover in Egypt and the redemption that Jesus accomplished, as well as the deep bond between the ancient Passover feast and the Christian communion celebration today.

Jews for Jesus has presented “Christ in the Passover” at over 38,000 churches. It has been enthusiastically received by Christians who appreciate learning more about the Jewish backgrounds of their faith. Moishe Rosen, who founded Jews for Jesus in 1973, has also co-written the book, Christ in the Passover, with his wife, Ceil. This seminal work includes a look at Passover in ancient times and how it is practiced today.

Brickner, a fifth-generation Jewish believer in Jesus, succeeded Rosen as Executive Director in 1996. Brickner has kept Jews for Jesus on the cutting edge as the ministry has expanded and established branches in eleven countries, including the United States, Brazil, Israel, Russia, France, and South Africa.

“We exist to make the Messiahship of Jesus an unavoidable issue to our Jewish people worldwide,” Brickner states. “There are still a few that haven’t heard of us!”

Shoshannah Weinisch will be happy to answer questions after the presentation. Call (405) 794-6166 or visit http://www.fccmoore.org for more information. There is no admission charge.
