Interview with leader of Association of Messianic
Congregations
Dear Steve, there are these lines in
Bible:
Rom 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of
Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth;
to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
What are your first words to Jewish people and
Gentiles when you share the Good News with them?
- Each situation requires a different approach.
It is important however that eventually (tactfully) the conversation gets to the
topic of sin. People must know of their spiritual state. After their
state is addressed it then becomes fitting to mention the solution to the
problem, our Savior Yeshua.
Please tell us about your association, your
congregation, about yourself and your family a little.
- Congregation Beth Sar Shalom was established in
Tucson,
Arizona,
in 1991. At that time it was my wife and I and around 30
people. Our family has now grown to 6 (3 boys and 1 girl ages 11-4).
The congregation has around 100 people in it, Jews and gentiles.
We started the AMC a couple of years ago because we
desired an association of Messianic Congregations that considered sound doctrine
important. People can read about our history, and beliefs at www.messianicassociation.org .
