Pastor Murphy has a passion for prayer, discipleship, unity, and sharing the Good News. He plays a significant role in many outreaches in Central Ohio and beyond. He is a great friend of Israel, the Jewish people, Beth Messiah Congregation and the Messianic Studies Institute. He continues to raise the awareness of BMC and MSI to the local Christian community. We are so thankful to Pastor Murphy for his encouragement and we welcome him on May 23rd as we celebrate Shavuot! 🌾🧀

Happy Shavuot! 🌾🧀 Shavuot not only holds dual significance marking the wheat harvest and the giving of the Torah (מתן תורה) on Mount Sinai, but additional meaning for us as followers of Yeshua. We celebrate the outpouring of the Ruach HaKodesh in Acts 2. Shavuot reminds us how HaShem continues to work throughout history!

This week we begin the Book of Numbers. The Hebrew name of it is Bamidbar which translates in English to “In the Wilderness.” The Book of Numbers describes the journey of Israel from Sinai to the Plains of Moab just before entering the land.

We’re so grateful for a time of powerful testimonies, worship, and fellowship centered around Matthew 19:26 - “With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

Thank you to everyone who came and helped make it such a meaningful evening!

What a “Wondrous Wisdom Weekend” we had with Dr. Ellie Paley. We learned that wisdom is found when we choose the way of Adonai that is rooted in the creation order of God.

Will Israel choose to listen to G-d's voice or do what they think is right in their own eyes?

How will you respond to G-d's voice? Will you choose life?
