One of my dreams is to create resources for Messianic families to help them in their walk--to help take their faith beyond the letter of the page into their day to day lives. I've started a few small projects in this vein and hope to continue this kind of work. I'm really just starting on this journey, so for now, this will be where I keep a catalog of these projects. As new ideas begin to be worked into reality, I'll add them here.
Status: Ongoing
Parashah Messiah is a one-year project (2015-2016) to create a Torah portion inspired commentary centered around the Gospel message. Our goal is to restore a focus on Messiah and the Gospel message to the Messianic / Hebrew Roots movement. Each week we put out a new commentary on the current portion and a related New Testament text showing how these passages point to the Gospel of the Kingdom.
Our writers include: Chris Knight, Kelsey Bryant, and Matthew Day as well as several guest writers

New Messianic Lectionary
Status: Brainstorming
The goal is to create a devotional Gospel-centric lectionary for Messianics as an alternative to the traditional Torah cycle. This project is going to be slow in coming (seems like a simply task, but I'm a busy perfectionist), but when it's finally done, I hope to use it for my own family and hope that it will be found useful for other Messianic families as well.
Updates:
(5/18/2016) The first step in this project was to collect input from other Messianics about what is important in a reading schedule. You can find the survey results here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSbKqJgfeNM
(5/19/2016) You can check out the behind the scenes spreadsheet work here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JDZLKTkPg55aFLIMWqketXf4OlynBw0pfm9aPpsfjcY/edit#gid=796443874
Wonderful. I appreciate what you're aiming for here. I've dreamed of the same. Visit Harmony Bible, and the reading schedule http://harmonybible.coop/small-group-resources/harmony-bible-index/ and let's talk about how we might work together to add to each reading a corresponding lectio selectum (and tables) from the Torah, Historical Books, Psalm/Wisdom, and Prophets as well as from the Acts, Epistles and Revelation.
