Jewish Roots of The Christian Faith: Group Leader Guide

This is the group leader guide for the bible study of the same name containing discussion prompt and video links.

Jewish Roots of the Christian Faith: Bridging the Old and New Testament is a 12-week guided bible study designed to help readers rediscover the deep Jewish foundations of Christianity and understand the Bible as one unified story of God’s covenant love and faithfulness.

Rooted in Scripture and historical context, this study explores how the Law, the Prophets, the covenants, and the lives of the patriarchs point forward to the Messiah and are fulfilled in the New Testament. Readers are invited to step into the world in which Jesus lived, taught, and fulfilled God’s promises, gaining a clearer understanding of the continuity between the Old and New Testaments.

Each week includes biblical teaching, reflection pages, and space for personal notes, encouraging thoughtful engagement with Scripture rather than debate or doctrine-driven arguments. Topics include God’s covenants, prophecy and fulfillment, the role of the Torah, the significance of Israel, and the faith practices of the first-century Jewish world that shaped early Christianity.

Written with sensitivity and respect, Jewish Roots of the Christian Faith is ideal for churches, small groups, adult education classes, and individual study. It is especially well suited for readers seeking to deepen their biblical literacy, strengthen their faith, and develop a greater appreciation for the Jewish context of Christianity.

This study invites believers to read Scripture more carefully, worship more deeply, and recognize God’s redemptive plan as it unfolds from Genesis through the Gospels-drawing hearts closer to the Lord who fulfills the Law and the Prophets.
