What we teach

Scripture as Our Authority

We affirm that the Holy Scriptures—comprising the Tanakh (Old Testament) and the B'rit HaDashah (New Testament)—are the inspired, inerrant, and infallible Word of YHWH. As it is written, "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness" (2 Timothy 3:16-17). We believe that humanity is called to live "by every word that proceeds from the mouth of Elohim" (Deuteronomy 8:3; Matthew 4:4).
 

Note: The dual authority of the Tanakh and B'rit HaDashah reflects the early Messianic Jewish tradition. Paul rooted his teachings in the Hebrew Scriptures (Romans 15:4) and upheld the divine inspiration of all Scripture (2 Timothy 3:16). Yeshua affirmed this continuity, declaring He came not to abolish the Torah but to fulfill it (Matthew 5:17).
 

The Name of the Creator

We reverently recognize the sacred Name of the Creator—Yod-Hey-Vav-Hey (יהוה), often vocalized as Yahveh—meaning "I AM" (Exodus 3:14). We also honor the titles Elohim (“Mighty One”) and Adonai (“Master”). These Names reveal the nature and sovereignty of the Most High (Psalm 68:4).

Note: An inscription from the 14th century BCE at the temple of Amun in Soleb, Egypt, references "Yhw"—linking the divine Name with a nomadic people of the southern Levant, consistent with Moses' encounter with Yahweh near Midian (Exodus 3:1-6).
 

Yeshua the Messiah

We proclaim that Yeshua of Nazareth is the promised Messiah of Israel—the Son of Man through Miriam (Mary) and the Son of Elohim through His miraculous birth (Isaiah 7:14; Luke 1:30-35). His very name, Yeshua ("salvation"), testifies to His mission and identity (Matthew 1:21).
 

Note: The Septuagint, predating Yeshua, translates almah in Isaiah 7:14 as parthenos (“virgin”), aligning with the Gospel account. His name, derived from yeshu’ah, embodies His redemptive purpose.
 

Our Commission

We embrace Yeshua’s Great Commission: to make disciples of all nations, immersing them in the Name of the Father, Son, and Ruach HaKodesh, and teaching them to obey all that He has commanded (Matthew 28:19-20). We walk in this mission with assurance, knowing He is with us always.
 

Covenantal Relationships and Torah Application

We believe covenantal identity is defined not by ethnicity but by faithful participation in the biblical community. We distinguish among the Covenant with Israel, the Territorial Covenant for those dwelling in the Land, and the Covenant extended to the nations. Israel is bound to all aspects of Torah, while Gentiles are invited to Torah observance as the Spirit leads, honoring diverse callings (Acts 15:19-21).
 

Note: The Jerusalem Council affirmed that Gentiles were not obligated to the full Torah but were welcomed into the faith through core principles, with the expectation of continued learning (Acts 15:21).
 

A Torah-Pursuant Life

We seek to follow the example of Yeshua and His earliest disciples by living a Hebraic, Scripture-centered life. This includes observing the commandments, keeping the biblical feasts, and adhering to biblical dietary guidelines (Leviticus 11; Acts 21:20).
 

Note: Paul’s Torah observance post-conversion (Acts 21:24) affirms its continued relevance. Torah observance remains a spiritual discipline—not a prerequisite for salvation, but a joyful response to God’s grace (Romans 14:5-6).
 

The Torah Pursuant Method

Our discipleship model, the Torah Pursuant Method, involves:

1. Identifying a mitzvah

2. Studying it within both the Tanakh and B’rit HaDashah

3. Exploring historical interpretations

4. Seeking the Ruach HaKodesh for insight

5. Applying it with humility and faith
    

Note: This method mirrors the Bereans, who searched the Scriptures daily (Acts 17:11), and honors rabbinic insights where they illuminate—but do not override—the written Word (Matthew 15:3).
 

The Shema: Our Declaration of Faith

We declare the Shema: "Hear, O Israel, YHWH our Elohim, YHWH is One" (Deuteronomy 6:4). Yahweh is echad—a unified, eternal oneness (Isaiah 45:5).
 

Note: The word echad signifies composite unity (Genesis 2:24), reflecting the mystery of the divine relationship among Father, Son, and Ruach HaKodesh.
 

Redemption and New Birth

Salvation is a gift received through faith in Yeshua’s atoning death, burial, and resurrection. Through Him, we are born anew by the Ruach HaKodesh (John 3:3-5; 1 Peter 1:3).
 

Note: From Abraham's faith (Genesis 15:6) to Paul’s teaching (Romans 4:3-5), Scripture affirms that redemption is always by grace through faith—not by works.
 

The Role of the Ruach HaKodesh

The Ruach HaKodesh empowers, seals, teaches, and leads us into all truth. First poured out at Shavuot, the Spirit continues to bestow gifts for the building up of the Body (Acts 2:1-4; Ephesians 1:13-14; 1 Corinthians 12:4-11).
 

The Biblical Calendar

We follow the calendar ordained by YHWH, which begins in the month of Aviv (Exodus 12:2). This calendar anchors the appointed times (moedim) and allows us to honor God’s seasons faithfully (Leviticus 23:4).
 

The Role of Israel and the Nations

Israel remains central to God's redemptive plan, and the nations play a complementary role. While believers from all nations are grafted into the olive tree of Israel (Romans 11:17-18), they retain their distinct identities under the guidance of the Spirit.
 

Note: Paul affirms the permanence of Israel’s calling and the inclusion of Gentiles without erasing their uniqueness (Romans 11:17-24; Zechariah 14:16).
 

Restoration Theology

We are committed to restoring the ancient paths—the faith once delivered to the saints (Isaiah 58:12; Acts 3:21). We seek to reclaim the spirit and practice of the early Yeshua-followers.
 

Our Mission

We proclaim the Good News of Yeshua’s redemptive work, teach obedience to His commands, and pursue a Torah-centered life that shines as light among the nations (Isaiah 49:6; Matthew 5:14-16). We aim to "make straight in the wilderness a highway for our God" (Isaiah 40:3; Matthew 3:3), building spiritual infrastructure among Torah Pursuant communities in preparation for Messiah’s return.
 

Our Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)

We approach AI with reverence and responsibility, aligning with ethical principles such as those outlined in the Rome Call for AI Ethics. We believe technology should uphold human dignity and serve the mission of truth.
 

Our Stance on Plagiarism

We reject plagiarism in all its forms, affirming the biblical call to integrity and respect for the labor of others (Proverbs 12:22; 1 Timothy 5:18).
 

In all things, we seek to glorify Yahweh, walk in the footsteps of Yeshua, and be led by the Ruach HaKodesh—offering love, mercy, and truth to all who seek Him.
