The Word Is Grace

"The Word Is Grace" is brought to you by The Carpenter's Shop, located at 1201 East Elmore Street in Crawfordsville, Indiana. Our Sabbath services begin at 3:30 every Saturday afternoon. Listen with us as Bible teachers Jim Denman and Tim Terry examine our faith in Messiah Yeshua (Christ Jesus), with a Hebraic perspective. What did Jesus eat? How did He dress? Is the Torah still valid to believers today? Did He really say that there are only two laws that we have to follow now? Did God change His requirements for salvation after the cross? Is the Sabbath on Sunday or Saturday; was it changed? Join us as we seek answers to these questions, with balance and a humble reverence for God's Word.

To the Mikva, Nakdimon Ben Gurion! John 3:1-15

We’ve all heard the story of Nicodemus steeling away in the dark of night to ask Jesus questions. Most of us have a picture in our heads of what the scene looked like; Nicodemus is afraid of getting caught talking to this man who claims to be the Son of God. But is that really how it happened? The scriptures do say that he came in the night, but was he sneaking around, afraid of getting caught talking to Jesus, or was that just the opportune time for rabbis to get together? Was he really afraid? After all, Nicodemus was The Teacher of Israel…
As we go deeper into the Gospel of John, we are humbled by the fact that we, as Western Christians, might not know as much as we profess to know about this seemingly simple book. We are even forced to admit that it might not be the best book to start a new believer in!
Join us this week as we look at John 3:1-15, and ask; was Nicodemus the same Nakdimon Ben Gurion from Talmudic writings? What did it mean to Nicodemus to hear Jesus say that he must be “born again?”

Here at the Carpenter's Shop, we believe Yeshua when He states in Matthew 5:17 "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill." We have come to know that our Messiah, Yeshua (Jesus), was a Torah observant, Jewish Rabbi who will one day return to reign from David's throne in Jerusalem. We believe that we are saved by the redemptive work that Yeshua accomplished on the cross; we are saved by the grace of God (Hashem), not by observing Torah. We observe Torah because we are saved, out of obedience to God's Word.
