Session 1

The Lost Kingdom

Yeshua came proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, but what exactly is the kingdom? What happened to the message of the kingdom? Why did the church lose that hope? Could it have been because the kingdom is too Jewish? This lecture focuses our hope on the final redemption and argues for a premillennial interpretation of the coming of Messiah. It also explores the history of Christianity's amillennial eschatology using quotations from ancient sources and modern scholars like N.T. Wright as we try to figure out how the church fathers lost sight of the kingdom and the original message of the gospel.

Malchut 2022 Lectures

Session 1
Missionaries

As a part of the broader school of post-missionary Messianic Judaism, we are not missionaries in the conventional sense. Nevertheless, a clear mission is essential for sustaining a thriving movement. A mission based on simply correcting wrong theology is neither compelling nor sustainable.

Session 2
The Rebbe’s Army

Chabad has successfully engaged in a mission to reach all Jews. This lecture will consider the features of Chabad that contribute to their success. We will see how similar some of these ideas are to our own origin story as disciples of Yeshua.

Session 3
Baseless Love

The Temple was destroyed, and the Jewish people went into exile due to the sin of baseless hatred. The history of the Apostolic Era shows us a Jewish people deeply divided on political and theological lines—a world much like ours today.

Session 4
The Obstacle Is the Way

There is a high cost to taking up the mantle of discipleship. People of faith have lost their traditional role as wardens of uprightness. Those are the obstacles. Complaining about the situation is not going to fix it and yet, we hear an awful lot of that. We need champions.

Session 5
Then the End Will Come

The traditional gospel message most of us heard is not the gospel of the kingdom. This lecture is intended to inspire us so that when we leave Malchut and return to our local areas of influence, we do so with a clear understanding of this gospel—the gospel of the kingdom.

Session 6
Mimicking Moshe

Two new initiatives and opportunities are coming to the Torah Club in order to strengthen and sustain its it into the future. Initiative #1: Implement Moshe’s model of communal governance. Initiative #2: Expand the reach of Torah Club through online programs.

Session 7
Navigating Relationships

Political acrimony and polarization are making conversations and relationships more difficult these days. It seems no one is immune to dealing with conflict whether with family members, neighbors, or fellow members of the body of Messiah. How do we transcend differences?

Session 8
What Is Your IQ?

We are a disruptive movement. Our movement is made up of people with disruptive ideas. We are introducing an idea intended to challenge and transform the status quo. As disrupters, we must have a very high IQ. Not in terms of how smart we are, but rather, the depth of our character.

Session 9
Band of Survivors

What is our mission if not the proclamation of the good news? The gospel is the proclamation of King Yeshua and the inauguration of his kingdom. The kingdom will be universal, but until then, it must be carried by “a remnant” and “a band of survivors.
