Eat This Scroll
Each week we release two episodes covering a range of engaging, practical, and eclectic topics surrounding God's Word. Each episode features a pastor or leader in the church to share what they have been chewing on in God's Word. We hope each week you're encouraged, challenged, and empowered by the impact God's Word is having on us. Ultimately, we hope this helps you love God, love your neighbor, and make disciples.

Intro to Holy Week pt. 2 Religious Context
Who were the Essenes?
As a matter of fact, who were the Pharisees and Sadducees, or the Zealots? The life and ministry of Christ saw Him cross paths with several different groups, but have you stopped to consider who they were? Jerell helps shed some light on these groups, what their motives were, and offer us insight into the conflicts that Jesus had with them.
