Who we are:
We are Savior loving, Torah toting, Shofar blowing, Kippah covered,
Sabbath keeping, Kosher eating, New Moon sighting, Sacred Name
honoring, Two House teaching Messianic Israelites!
Seriously speaking, we are a family of faith that holds the Scripture in
the original languages as the infallible Word of the Almighty YHVH
Tz'va'ot (may His Name be praised forever!). We believe that Yahshua
of Nazareth is the Messiah who was promised in hundreds of scriptural
prophecies. We are filled with and led by the Ruach HaKodesh
(Set-apart / Holy Spirit) thus operating in the gifts of the Spirit.
Our goal is to rediscover the truth that was taught to Messiah
Yahshua's talmidim (disciples) in the first century CE and restore it to
the Body of Believers today. We want to live each day loving our
Creator, YHVH and the Messiah He sent to save us, Yahshua. We
demonstrate our love for Him by obeying Torah to the best of our
ability and loving our fellow man, thus being a continual sacrifice of
praise before Him.
Who We're Not:
We are not members of any one organization. The only authority we
submit to is our Creator as revealed by the Written Word. Over the
centuries, traditions of men have been embroidered onto the faith, we
have made a conscious decision to return to a scripture based lifestyle.
We are not "Jews for Jesus." Jews for Jesus is primarily a missionary
group of Baptist origins whose focus is converting Jews to
Christianity, not just introduce Jews to their Messiah. As we
understand their mission, they are not in favor of messianic
congregations and are not a part of the Messianic Movement. Since we
believe the Torah still stands, the Commandments still valid and the
Feasts of YHVH eternal, we are not Jews for Jesus.
We do not believe in the Noachide Doctrine. This doctrine in essence
says that the Commandments are for the Jew; the non-Jews or
Gentiles are obliged only to keep the "Seven Noachide Laws." There
are no Noachide Laws listed in Scripture! But the Torah does say that
there shall be one law for the Israelite and the same law for the
foreigner, i.e., those wishing to attach themselves to the House of
Israel. In crossing over from a western Gentile mentality to a lifestyle
based on Torah, we are not followers of the Noachide Doctrine.
We do not believe in or teach the Lunar Sabbath. This belief is
basically that both the month and the week start with the sighting of
the renewed moon. The result of this is pure confusion: The weeks
may have two Sabbaths within a couple of days of each other or
(worse!) a 10 or more day week. Also, weather conditions may
obscure the clear sighting of the moon resulting in neighboring
communities observing the Sabbath on different days. YHVH is not the
author of confusion. In the giving of the double portion of manna on
the sixth day, Israelites were instructed by Elohim Himself when the
Sabbath occurred. Therefore we are not believers in the Lunar
Sabbath.
We are not Orthodox Messianics. We keep the commandments out of
wanting to demonstrate our love and devotion for our Creator /
Redeemer / King. We do not obey to earn salvation or make our Creator
obliged to us in any way. In our congregation, traditions of men are
clearly explained as such and are not presented as commandments.
We realize that some traditions are useful in helping us remember
Torah or the history of the House of Israel. In all things we must study
to show ourselves approved, and prove all things and hold fast to that
which is good. So in following Torah instead of traditions, we are not
Orthodox Messianics.
We are not Christian. We keep the Feasts of YHVH as listed in the
Book of Leviticus. Thus, we do not celebrate Christmas or Easter;
neither do we take communion, rather we observe the Feast of
Unleavened Bread. We do not engage in the traditional Christian
feasts such as St. Patrick's Day, St. Valentine's day, All Soul's Day or
All Hallows Eve. We observe only the scriptural feasts such as those
listed in Leviticus 23. The feast days of Purim which is found in the
Book of Esther, and Hanukkah which is found in John chapter 10 as
well as in the apocryphal books of the Maccabees are recognised as
episodes of YHVH's saving grace. Thus, we are not Christian.
In striving to return to the Faith once delivered to the saints by
Yahshua himself, we have found true freedom.
We're not out to build monument's to man's success or abilities. We
are ALL called to be a nation of priests ministering to YHVH! Realizing
that we are each worth a half-shekel (the ancient scriptural Temple tax
for redemption), there are no titles here. If our Master, Savior,
Bridegroom and Sovereign can be known by His first Name, then
surely we have no need of titles! Titles only serve to separate us into
an "us" and "them" mentality. There are no special drives to fund, no
pastor's salaries to pay, no collection plate is passed. If the Ruach
Elohim leads you to share with us what He has given you, your funds
will help feed the poor in body and soul both in this community and in
Israel and also help underwrite our expenses.
Come join us for worship! We're sure you'll find a refreshing change!
Shalom v'brachot -- Peace and Blessings!
