Do the commandments that God gave Moses at Mt. Sinai apply to Christians today? If so, how can you more fully understand them as a born-again believer to live a life that is more fruitful. Today's guest, Michael Johnston, has been attending a Messianic Congregation where he's studied the Hebraic roots of our Christian faith over the last ten years and how understanding Jesus in his biblical language, culture, and context will help you experience all the freedom that Jesus Christ has given us through His sacrifice on the cross.
