Jesus In The Passover Class

We’re excited to offer our 2nd annual “Jesus in the Passover” class taught by Dr. Brian Crawford from Chosen People Ministries, and our own Maranatha pastors.  Join us as we study the living Word and see how Jesus Christ has fulfilled, and will further fulfill, this most wonderful, God-instituted feast, the Passover.  This four-week course begins Thursday, March 28.  Celebrate Passover like never before. 

Imagine being one the disciples on the road to Emmaus as Jesus, the Word made flesh, in Whom are all treasures of wisdom and knowledge, began unveiling everything in the Old Testament pointing to Himself!  Can you imagine!?  We know that shortly after this event, Jesus opened the rest of the disciples’ minds to understand the Scriptures.  But what about us?  Well, after Jesus ascended to heaven, the Father sent the Holy Spirit to teach us all things and to remind us of those things which Jesus said (John 14:26).  This is what our annual "Christ in the Feasts" series is all about, and Passover is right around the corner!  Come join us as we study the living Word and see how Jesus Christ has fulfilled, and will further fulfill, this most wonderful, God-instituted feast, the Passover.  We'll cover how the Jews celebrated the Passover during the time of Moses, the time of Jesus, and throughout history as described in ancient rabbinical writings.  Let's dig into the Word together and allow the Holy Spirit to show us how all of God's revelation points to His Son, Jesus Christ, the Messiah.  This will be a four-week course leading up to Passover, beginning Thursday, March 28th.  Celebrate Passover like never before.

Our 40 days Days of Prayer and Fasting are from Tuesday February 13 to Saturday March 23

As you participate in the 40-Day Fast, please use this daily journal to discover what an encounter with God means. The Bible is full of stories of individuals who had life-changing encounters with God—encounters that transformed lives and impacted human history. As you reflect on the daily verse, we encourage you to look up the verse and read the story in context. These divine encounters happened to a variety of people – some believers and some not—in a variety of places.  We pray that during this fast, you will experience a divine encounter with God that will change your life!

Please Note: Fasting is an individual, personal time between you and the Lord.  Choose the fast best for you.  While fasting means abstaining from food for most people, it can also be abstaining from something else to give you deeper time in prayer and fellowship with the Lord. Not everyone can fast from food, but if you give up something to focus on the Lord, that will be a meaningful fast.
