Church & School Presentations
Christ in the Feasts of Israel
The prophetic details of the feasts are used to challenge unbelievers to repent and believe in Jesus, and believers to rejoice in their salvation, and serve the Lord with a grateful heart. The illustrative nature of the presentations makes the Word of God memorable and exciting for adults and children.
The Feast day presentations are popular and will often bring out visitors. It is also a good opportunity for your members to bring unsaved people to hear the Gospel in a unique manner. A publicity kit is sent to each church hosting an AMMI presentation. It contains a press release, photograph of our representative and a graphic flyer suitable for a church bulletin or for the general public.
Christ in the Passover
There are two ways the Passover can be presented:
Demonstration
A table is set with the Passover elements and our speaker stands behind the table and uses the items to bring the message.
Passover Dinner
The people sit at tables with some of the same elements on the demonstration table. Our speaker stands behind the demonstration table and leads in the Passover. The congregation actively participates in the program by tasting food and drink, reading Scripture, reciting prayer, and other activities. It is a wonderful learning experience which is enjoyable for children and adults. There is an option to serve a meal or desserts after the main part of the demonstration (approximately l hour). Any food may be served. If the church wants to try authentic Jewish food, AMMI will supply a suggested menu and recipes. Many churches have had us present Christ in the Passover Dinners on Friday, Saturday and other week nights in addition to teaching at Sunday or Wednesday services.
First Fruits and Pentecost
The Fall Feasts
Trumpets focuses on the Holiness of God, the return of the Lord and the promise of resurrection and eternal life.
The Day of Atonement emphasizes God's Judgment and the reality of hell, the need to repent and believe in Jesus and His forgiveness and grace through Jesus Christ.
The Feast of Tabernacles illustrates God's abundant provision, our intimate relationship with Him and the Kingdom of God, the eternal home of believers.
Non-Biblical Festivals
Purim
or
Theatrical Play
The different characters in the book of Esther have parts assigned them. The wording for the parts is from the NIV Bible. Church members read the words and act them out. The AMMI speaker does the narration and brings a brief summary teaching. Also, if the church approves, noise makers are passed out to the children and adults. Every time the name of Haman is mention, the audience tries to drown out his name, just as they do in the synagogue. It is great fun and the Word of God is presented in a unique and memorable manner.
Highlights of Jewish Culture
Jewish Evangelism: Sunday School Class
Jewish Evangelism Sermon
This sermon uses beautifully design overheads (approved by church) to illustrate the difficulty of witnessing to Jewish people; the Christian's responsibility to demonstrate love toward all people groups; and his need to be diligent in his study of the Bible to avoid false doctrines. The teaching/sermon may be presented effectively without overheads.
Motivational Sermons
"The Discipleship of Evangelism" is a teaching focusing on the necessity for all of us to be ambassadors for Christ. It also gives encouragement and tools for preparing for evangelism.
