Do the commandments that God gave Moses at Mt. Sinai apply to Christians today?  If so, how can you more fully understand them as a born-again believer to live a life that is more fruitful.  Today’s guest, Michael Johnston, has been attending a Messianic Congregation where he’s studied the Hebraic roots of our Christian faith over the last ten years and how understanding Jesus in his biblical language, culture, and context will help you experience all the freedom that Jesus Christ has given us through His sacrifice on the cross.  You’re going to learn how to properly interpret and walk in the O.T. commandments of God, as well as, more fully grasp what the New Covenant entails as listed in Jeremiah 31.

Guest Bio:

Michael Johnston grew up in Michigan in a Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod family. He placed his faith in Jesus Christ in April of 1990 and started attending a Full Gospel church in his home town and then felt called to go to Bible College in Columbus, Ohio from 1992-1994. In 1997 he moved to Colorado while pursuing some athletic goals until 2000, during which time he met his wife. In 2008 the Lord led Michael to a Messianic Congregation where he’s spent the last 10 years studying the Hebraic roots of our Christian faith and understanding Jesus in His biblical language, culture, and context.  Michael is the founder of Mansion Buiiders International and YeshuaCommunity.com.
