Voice of Ukraine

From Evangelical Reformed Seminary in Ukraine in Kyiv: Dear friends, this past week we held our March teaching module. Rev Valery Zadorozhnii taught our Gospels course online. Most of our faculty were with him in our building in Kyiv.

Here are a few quotes from the course:

“Mt. 11:27 is called John’s lightning on the horizon of Matthew, this verse traces the theology of the unity of the Son and the Father, characteristic of the Gospel of John. Mt. 11:27, along with other places, calls into question the assertion of some critics that John “puts into the mouth of Jesus a teaching foreign to Him”

“The Messianic mystery” in the Gospel of Mark is explained only by the fact that in Palestine of the first century, ideas about the Messiah were very varied and therefore Jesus could not openly proclaim Himself the Messiah”

“Jesus encouraged His followers to fully consecrate themselves to Him, their righteousness should be manifested in action and flow from a deeper understanding of the Law than that of the Pharisees.”

We thank Valerii for a great course!

We hope that we will be able to hold our modules in an offline format in the not-too-distant future as we are really looking forward to meeting all our students again face-to-face.

We ask you to continue to pray for our students who serve in the ranks of the Armed Forces: Yuriy Rozhnev, Yevhen Kovalenko, Pavlo Lukoshkin, Ivan Pushkarevskyi and Albert Chuvashev. We also pray for our victory.
