What We Believe
We believe that the Bible (Torah, Nevi'im, Ketuvim, Brit Chadasha), as written, is the completed scripture to date.
We believe that ALL scripture is profitable for Doctrine, Reproof, and Instruction in Righteousness (2 Tim 3:16-17 )
We Believe that Yeshua (Jesus) is the Messiah (Christ), and fully paid the penalty for all sin
We Believe that salvation is by grace through FAITH. We further believe that FAITH was, is and will be the only means to obtain eternal life (salvation)
We also Believe that FAITH without works, is dead
What makes one a Messianic? Our definition is going to be quite loose to make it more inclusive. Any combination of the following makes one Messianic.
Recognition that Torah is still applicable, and that Messiah Yeshua didn't come to destroy(nullify, annul) Torah, but to bring fullness of meaning to it.
Keeping of the Biblical Feasts
Keeping of Shabbat (sabbath)
Keeping Kosher
Yom Teruah - New Moon
Yom Teruah marks the beginning of the Jewish civil year and is the Jewish New Year's Day. YHVH commanded the blowing of trumpets on the first day of the seventh month to call the congregation for a very solemn assembly. Traditionally Yom Teruah is a time ofself-evaluation and repentance. For those who know the Messiah, it is a time of praise because we know that we have eternal forgiveness in Him.
UPDATE: We are publishing our updated Sabbath Service. We are currently looking for suggestions of things for the Erev Shabbat Service that you'd like to see included in this service. Please let us know ASAP so that we can include your suggestions to the service.
