What We Believe
Love is the first commandment. If we don't have love we don't have the truth.Hear, O Yisra’ěl: יהוה (Yehovah) our Elohim, יהוה is one! And you shall love יהוה your Elohim with all your heart, and with all your being, and with all your might.
Deuteronomy 6:4-5 TS2009
And one of the scribes coming near, hearing them reasoning together, knowing that He had answered them well, asked Him, “Which is the first command of all?” And יהושע answered him, “The first of all the commands is, ‘Hear, O Yisra’ěl, יהוה our Elohim, יהוה is one. And you shall love יהוה your Elohim with all your heart, and with all your being, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first command. And the second, like it, is this, ‘You shall love your neighbour as yourself.’ There is no other command greater than these.”
Mark 12:28-31 TS2009
Do not hate your brother in your heart. Reprove your neighbour, for certain, and bear no sin because of him. Do not take vengeance or bear a grudge against the children of your people. And you shall love your neighbour as yourself. I am יהוה.
Leviticus 19:17,18 TS2009
Beloved ones, let us love one another, because love is of Elohim, and everyone who loves has been born of Elohim, and knows Elohim. The one who does not love does not know Elohim, for Elohim is love. By this the love of Elohim was manifested in us, that Elohim has sent His only brought-forth Son into the world, in order that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved Elohim, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be an atoning offering for our sins. Beloved ones, if Elohim so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 1 John 4:7-11 TS2009
The commandments, including the Sabbath, the 4th commandment is on the 7th day of the week (Saturday as we call it) were never abolished. Sunday keeping is a man made teaching. The death, burial and resurrection of Yeshua the Messiah lines up precisely with the Passover. He was crucified on Wednesday afternoon around 2 or 3PM, not on Friday. The day after Messiah's crucifixion was a high day Sabbath, not the weekly Sabbath. He was in the ground 3 days and 3 nights and rose in the end of the weekly Sabbath.
Do not think that I came to destroy the Torah or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to complete. For truly, I say to you, till the heaven and the earth pass away, one yod or one tittle shall by no means pass from the Torah till all be done. Whoever, then, breaks one of the least of these commands, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the reign of the heavens; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the reign of the heavens. For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall by no means enter into the reign of the heavens. Matthew 5:17-20 TS2009
Humanity
Yeshua taught us to treat others as we want to be treated & to love our enemies.For what credit is there if, when you sin and get a beating, you endure? But if you endure when you do good and suffer for it, this finds favor with God. 1 Peter 2:20 TLV
God in The Person
Elohim is the Hebrew title for God. It refers to the Father (Yehovah) and the Son (Yehoshua or Yeshua for short). Yehovah alone is El. The Father and the Son are one, Echad in Hebrew which means plural oneness. Even though Yeshua came in the flesh, he is still Elohim (God).
Salvation
Yeshua the Messiah is the WAY, the only way to the Father Yehovah. Contrary to what many think, the law was not abolished by his death, burial and resurrection. We must repent and keep the commandments.Do not think that I came to abolish the Torah or the Prophets! I did not come to abolish, but to fulfill. Amen, I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or serif shall ever pass away from the Torah until all things come to pass. Mat 5:17-18 TLV
Grace
But He gives greater grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble. Therefore submit to God. But resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded! James 4:6-8 TLV

We work diligently to study the word of Elohim (God) so that we don't mislead anyone. We don't view ourselves as Rabbi, Teacher or Leader. Messiah told us that he alone is our Rabbi that all men are equal. Messiah alone has the preeminence. The role if Pastor is not a leadership position and in the assembly there are multiple Pastors and Elders. The Pastors are not the only ones giving the message on Sabbath, Elders do that as well. -

We want to be humble. We are here to feed the sheep, not to entertain the goats. Messiah came as a servant, not to be served. He even washed the feet of Judas. We don't keep the commandments because they will save us, we keep them because we have been redeemed. -

Messiah did not come to plant visible churches and denominations. He came to build an invisible body without spot and wrinkle. And he is returning for that body, also referred to as his Bride. -

Messiah hates the doctrine of the nicolaitans. Those who lift themselves above others in the laity will be abased, while those who humble themselves will be lifted up.
But Yeshua called them over and said, “You know that the rulers of the nations lord it over them, and their great ones play the tyrant over them. It shall not be this way among you. But whoever wants to be great among you shall be your servant, and whoever wants to be first among you shall be your slave— just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.” Mat 20:25-28 TLV
Life Group
Scripture refers to those of us who are born again and serve Yeshua the Messiah as those among the living. Those who have rejected him are among the dead and do not have life. Those of us who are in Messiah and die will be resurrected to eternal life at his appearing. We will rule and reign with him on this earth for 1,000 years.
