Tree of Life Messianic Congregation
Messianic Judaism is a biblically based movement of Jewish people who have come to believe in Yeshua as the promised Jewish Messiah of Israel. Yeshua is the Hebrew name for Jesus, which means Salvation. Today there are tens of thousands of Messianic Jews in the United States alone – some have estimated the number to be as high as 150,000. Messianic Congregations and Synagogues are springing up in almost every major city across the country including San Diego. Other nations such as Canada, England, France, Israel, and Argentina are experiencing a growing movement of Messianic Jews as well.

VII. THE NEW COVENANT: A MINISTRY OF THE SPIRIT
A) 2 Cor. 3:7,8 - We must understand that, "It is the Spirit who gives life..."
B) Ruach HaKodesh is the source of "every good and perfect gift from above..."
C) Since Ruach HaKodesh has such pre-eminence in the New Covenant Scriptures, we must give
heed to the logic of Rav Sha'ul in this matter - Galatians 3:2,3
VIII. THREE REQUIREMENTS FOR WALKING IN THE SPIRIT
Opening Scriptures for this section: 1 Tim. 1:5,6; Galatians 5:6
A) Faith by the Spirit - Gal. 3:11,12
B) Love by the Spirit - Matt. 22:35-40; Romans 13:8
C) Purity by the Spirit - Romans 6:20-22
IX. THE PRESENT VALUE AND USE OF THE LAW
Opening Scripture for this section: 1 Tim. 1:8
A) Rav Sha'ul here gives us the key - the law is good if we use it the right way living by the Spirit
under the New Covenant.
B) We need to be careful here because Sha'ul reminds us that some have strayed from the essential
spiritual principles governing the New Covenant - 1 Tim. 1:5-7; Titus 3:9-12
C) Several Vital Uses of the Law
D) Principles Regarding 'Messianic Jewish' Use of the Law -
Colossians 2:16,17; Acts 4:32,33; 1 Cor. 9:19-23; Romans 14:1-13.

Yom HaShoah translates to ‘Yom HaShoah Ve-Hagevurah’ in Hebrew, meaning ‘Day of the Remembrance of the Holocaust and Heroism.’ ‘HaShoah’ also translates to ‘whirlwind.’ The day was officially recognized on April 12, 1951, in the Israeli parliament. Falling on the 27th of the month of Nisan on the Jewish calendar, the day comes a week after the Passover holiday.
Join Tree of Life as we honor those that were murdered in the shoah.

Join Rabbi Joel Liberman as he continues his message on The Law of Lift. How do we understand the relationships between the various biblical covenants? It's similar to the law of gravity which, is around us at all times, and is in effect, until a higher law - the Law of Lift - comes into effect. The Law of Lift doesn't NULLIFY gravity, but instead, causes us to rise above the pull of gravity.
As believers, we operate under a higher law - the Spirit - of which the New Covenant is a ministry of.

V. WE MUST REMIND OURSELVES THAT "LAW" EXISTED BEFORE THE GIVING OF THE SINAI COVENANT.
A) Multiple Examples
B) There is a 'Law of Conscience' that has existed since the creation of man - Romans 2:12-16
C) Why are laws needed? - 1 Timothy 1:9,10
VI. THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LAW AND SPIRIT
A) Romans 8:1-4
B) Summary: The 'Law' is operative against the works of the flesh at all times. Thus, the implications are...
C) Romans 8:12,13
D) Summary: The New Covenant introduces a higher law: The law of the Spirit of life in the Messiah Yeshua
E) Four truths by which we enter into the law of the Spirit of life:
1. Messiah Yeshua fulfilled the letter of the Law and all its requirements and was then put to death
as the atonement for Israel bearing upon Himself the full penalty of the Law.
2. We too, by faith, die with Messiah and are thereby dead to the Law and its penalties -
Romans 7:1,2,4,5,6; Galatians 2:19-21
3. Messiah Yeshua was raised from the dead - resurrection, the law of lift; and we too rise with Him -
Romans 6:5,6a
4. We then receive Ruach Hakodesh and enter into and operate by a higher law - the law of the Spirit
of life in the Messiah Yeshua. We are instructed to not walk in the flesh by which the Toraic law would
operate against us; rather, we are to walk in the Spirit by which we fulfill the righteous requirement of
the law - Galatians 5:16-23
