Statement of Faith
(shortened version)

1. All Scripture is given by the Spirit of the Lord.

2. Hear, O Israel: the LORD is our Elohim. He is One LORD. He alone is the LORD. (Deuteronomy 6:4)

3. The LORD and His Word are eternal.

4. The Shabbat is the created holy day of the LORD.

5. Yeshua of Natzaret is the Messiah of Israel, the Savior of the world, the King of kings and Lord of lords.

6. Messiah Yeshua is the Passover Lamb of the LORD Who takes away the sins of the world. He died, and rose from the dead three days afterward. All who repent of their sins, and entrust their lives to Yeshua, receive forgiveness and become inheritors of the all the promises the Lord made with Abraham and Israel.

7. The Brit Chadashah in Messiah Yeshua brings with it a new creation of the human spirit. The Torah of the LORD is planted inside so that Ruach HaKodesh may indwell there.

8. The various enablements of Ruach HaKodesh are given with authority to all those who ask the LORD and obey His Commandments.

9. The people of the Lord are a holy congregation gathered to celebrate Him at His appointed holy feasts, and to shine as lights of truth in the darkness, and to be a royal priesthood which praises His name.

10. The goals of the people of the LORD are:

a) to be followers of Yeshua the Messiah
b) to be holy as our Abba is holy
c) to be righteous and godly in this world
d) to be clean both in our conscious inner man and also in our walk
e) to be full of love for one another; and caring for a lost world.

11. The promise of a continually faithful trust in Yeshua is resurrection from the dead, eternal life, and ruling with Yeshua forever in the place where His Kingdom will rule.

12. Yeshua will judge all mankind of all acts ever committed and all words ever spoken.

13. The final Divine plan for Israel is to bring the remnant of the faithful Jewish people, and the remnant who were formerly Gentiles, back together and united into one holy nation under one Shepherd, namely Yeshua, the Messiah.
