    Regarding your April 25th sermon, I wanted to share a small bit of knowledge. You mentioned that no one else in the Roman world was expecting the messiah except for the Jews. Marcus Cicero discussed waiting for the Hebrew messiah in his writings. Although, Cicero was a Roman pagan, he was part of group of intellectuals who befriended other intellectual Jews living in Rome and surrounding wealthy cities of the day. Cicero and many of the day were more open to mysticism (than we are today), and too awaited a righteous king who would save the world from elitist corruption, theft, and war.

    Cicero writes about Rome as if he lived in 21st century America. He makes a great study.

    I love your teachings and pray the Lord Bless you and your family. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

    Blessings,
