We are servants, exposing the works of darkness & bringing truth to light to build up a healthy body in Messiah. We understand that Yehovah is Elohim (Hebrew for God). Scripture is of no private interpretation and requires the mind of the Ruach (Holy Spirit) to understand it.

    Biblical Solutions To Growing Your Fellowship

    The servant is not above his master. Yeshua our Messiah alone has the preeminence. All men are equal, not one above the other. To be great in God’s kingdom, be the servant of all.

    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.” Matthew 20:25-28 TLV

    YEARS of involvement

    We have been professionals on the world wide web since 1996. Our founder was baptized in 1973 at the age of 16 in a torah pursuant congregation and began serving Yeshua the Messiah.

    the body of messiah is a participatory body

    And now, there are indeed many members, but one body. And an eye is unable to say to the hand, “I have no need of you,” or again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.” But much rather, those members of the body which are thought to be weaker are necessary. And to those of the body which we think to be less respected, these we present greater respect. And our unseemly members have greater seemliness, whereas our seemly members have no need. But Elohim blended together the body, having given greater respect to that member which lacks it, that there should be no division in the body, but that the members should have the same concern one for another. And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is esteemed, all the members rejoice with it. And you are a body of Messiah, and members individually. 1 Corinthians 12:20-27 TS2009

    The Father and Son are echad (plural oneness).

    The Father and the Son are Elohim

    The Father alone is El

    When a body becomes a business, what do you call that? Most call it prostitution. So I have a question for you. Is your church incorporated?

    State Controlled Churches:

    The 501c3 Deception

    Churches and religious organizations that accept governmental authorization for financial gain, for permission to assemble, etc., are then controlled by the state. They invariably become tools of the government, carrying out the agenda of rulers and spreading state propaganda.

    Torah is elohim’s lifestyle for his people

    The only way to Elohim (God) is through his son Yeshua HaMashiach (Jesus). We must repent and obey the commandments. Torah is the first 5 books of the Bible, Elohim’s lifestyle for us. Yeshua (Jesus) is the living Torah. Sabbath on Saturday (7th day) was never abolished.

    Messiah told us not to be leaders but rather servants who set the example for others.

    But you are not to be called rabbi; for One is your Teacher, and you are all brothers. And call no man on earth your father; for One is your Father, who is in heaven. Nor are you to be called teachers; for One is your Teacher, the Messiah. But the greatest among you shall be your servant.
    Matthew 23:8-11 TL

    Don’t lord it over those apportioned to you, but become examples to the flock. 
    1 Peter 5:3 TLV

    we are not baptized into a church

    For you are all sons of Elohim through belief in Messiah יהושע. For as many of you as were immersed into Messiah have put on Messiah. Gal 3:26,27 TS2009

    I am the true vine, and My Father is the gardener. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He trims so that it may bear more fruit. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Abide in Me, and I will abide in you. The branch cannot itself produce fruit, unless it abides on the vine. Likewise, you cannot produce fruit unless you abide in Me. I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for apart from Me, you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away like a branch and is dried up. Such branches are picked up and thrown into the fire and burned. If you abide in Me and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it shall be done for you. In this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be My disciples. Just as the Father has loved Me, I also have loved you. Abide in My love! If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. These things I have spoken to you so that My joy may be in you, and your joy may be full. John 15:1-11 TLV 

    The fruit of the Holy Spirit cannot be faked. When we are truly born again, grafted into Messiah, we take on his nature. Our behavior will be new bearing the fruit of righteous behavior. Just because a person goes to church does not mean they are born again. Just because a person is a pastor doesn’t mean they are born again.

    Now there was a man, a Pharisee named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jewish people. He came to Yeshua at night and said, “Rabbi, we know that You, a teacher, have come from God. For no one can perform these signs which You do unless God is with Him!” Yeshua answered him, “Amen, amen I tell you, unless one is born from above, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” “How can a man be born when he is old?” Nicodemus said to Him. “He cannot enter his mother’s womb a second time and be born, can he?” Yeshua answered, “Amen, amen I tell you, unless one is born of water and spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit.” 
    John 3:7  Do not be surprised that I said to you, ‘You all must be born from above. The wind blows where it wishes and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.” John 3:1-8 TLV

    Watch out for false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will recognize them by their fruit. Grapes aren’t gathered from thorn bushes or figs from thistles, are they? Even so, every good tree produces good fruit, but the rotten tree produces bad fruit. A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a rotten tree produce good fruit. Every tree that does not produce good fruit is chopped down and thrown into the fire. So then, you will recognize them by their fruit. Matthew 7:15-20 TLV

    Messiah told us to be servants

    Do nothing out of selfishness or conceit, but with humility consider others as more important than yourselves, looking out not only for your own interests but also for the interests of others. Have this attitude in yourselves, which also was in Messiah Yeshua, Who, though existing in the form of God, did not consider being equal to God a thing to be grasped. But He emptied Himself—taking on the form of a slave, becoming the likeness of men and being found in appearance as a man. He humbled Himself—becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Philippians 2:3-8 TLV

    Love in fellowship is first

    esteem others better than yourself

    we are stewards of our money

    unlearn the lies of the past

    Many of us have actually been deceived by our church and we need to unlearn the lies. We have been conditioned, much like a baby elephant. When the elephant is a baby a stake is driven into the ground. A rope is then fastened to the stake and the other end of the rope to the elephants leg so that he cannot escape. He grows up this way and when he is an adult he believes he cannot escape even though he is big enough to do so. Let’s unlearn the lies together.
