📝 Class Description:
Thinking about studying Matthew? Start here. Every book of the Bible deserves to be read with an understanding of its big picture and historical setting—and Matthew is no different. Its deep roots in Jewish culture and tradition influence everything from its structure to its theology.
Dr. Will Varner joins FOI Equip to help us see Matthew more clearly and faithfully. He’ll also explore the debate over Matthean priority, asking whether Matthew or Mark came first. If Matthew is on your heart or in your study plan, you don’t want to miss this class!

📝 Class Description:
You can hardly believe it—your Jewish friend has come to faith in Jesus as Messiah! But what comes next?
In this class, Dr. Tim Sigler joins Jewish believers Steve Herzig and Lorna Simcox to help us think biblically and lovingly about the next steps. Together, they explore how to welcome a new Jewish believer into your congregation, how Jewish followers of Jesus relate to the Law, and how Messianic congregations factor into the conversation.
If God were to bring your Jewish friends to faith tomorrow, would you be ready? Join us as we prepare to respond with wisdom, clarity, and love.

Teacher:
Tom Simcox, FOI Church Ministries Training Coordinator Class
 
Description:
Imagine being handed a Bible and asked to share the Gospel—but it only contains the Old Testament. Could you do it? In this class, Tom Simcox will help you see how the Gospel is woven throughout every part of Scripture. You’ll gain confidence to share God’s message of salvation, especially with Jewish friends, and see that the Gospel is not a new revelation—it’s an eternal truth that brings everlasting life.

Teacher:
Dr. Dan Wallace, Senior Research Professor of NT Studies at Dallas Theological Seminary (csntm.org)
 
Class Description:
You’ve probably heard some of the popular objections to the New Testament: “We don’t have the originals,” or “The manuscripts all contradict each other.” These questions have been around a long time—and Dr. Dan Wallace has spent decades studying them. In this class, we’ll talk through what the evidence actually shows and whether we can trust the New Testament today. If you’ve had doubts or just want clarity, this class is for you.

Friends of Israel Panel:
Ty Perry, Cameron Joyner, and Bruce Scott
 
Class Description:
In recent days, well-known voices—even some trusted by Christians—have begun questioning Israel’s place in God’s plan and whether the Bible really calls us to bless the Jewish people. It’s time to respond. Join Bruce Scott, Ty Perry, and Cameron Joyner as they examine and answer popular arguments raised by figures such as Joel Webbon, Tucker Carlson, and others. Together, they’ll address pressing questions: Are the Jewish people of today the same people we read about in Scripture? How do believers bless a nation that is largely secular? Most importantly, you’ll walk away prepared to answer the central question: Should Christians Bless Modern Israel?
