We will be adding more to this section of the website as time goes on, so keep checking in with us!
hosted by Luke Abaffy of The Life Podcast
(the video of this event is posted and ready to watch now!)
We were invited by Luke Abaffy to join him with 3 other distinguished teachers for a friendly discussion about the most popular calendar systems being used today by Messianic Believers:
Bill Bishop, Returning to the Garden - Zadok priestly calendar
Steve Moutria, Torah Family - New Moon Conjunction method
Arthur Bailey, Arthur Bailey Ministries - New Moon Sighting method
Joseph Good, Hatikva Ministries - Hillel II calendar
What a refreshing experience it was to sit with these other men of Yah and to be engaged in a mutually educational, respectful dialogue. We spent an evening and a day together, beginning as strangers and departing as brothers - with each of us knowing in a greater way that despite our calendar differences, we have a lot more in common to bring us together because of our love for the Messiah and His Love for us!
Be sure to see it on Luke's Youtube channel - @TheLife_Podcast.
