Why another church? Many people in our area probably wonder what the point is in starting another church here. The answer is simple: many churches, not just in our area but throughout the land, are not teaching the Word of God. Many churches are so interested in becoming large that they water-down the gospel in order to appeal to the masses. However, in the process they do not preach and teach the unadulterated Word of God. Up until now, most people have had to either settle for a watered-down gospel in order to be a part of a church, or just avoid the church all together. Well, we offer an alternative!
We are a church made up of believers, both Jewish and Gentile, coming together as One People to glorify our Messiah. We are committed to properly preaching and teaching God's Word. We believe that in order to properly understand the Bible, we need to understand the historical context into which it was written. So our aim is to appeal to those who have become disenchanted with churches and synagogues, by offering them the opportunity to truly study God's Word and see how it really applies in day-to-day life. When you come and visit us, you will realize that we do not water-down the Bible. In fact, please take the time to look at some of our commentaries--click here.
When deciding on a church to attend, it is important to remember a few main points Yeshua (Jesus) made regarding His Kingdom in The Parable of the Soils (Mark 4). First, the kingdom is a kingdom of His Word, and involves the proclamation about God and what He is doing. Through the proclamation of His Word, His Kingdom is advanced as we hear and respond in believing obedience. So any church that is more interested in gathering large crowds by entertaining people with large rock bands, endless stories, self-help "pop-psychology," or false promises of health and wealth rather than through the proclamation of God's Word, is a false church. Next, His Kingdom challenges the perceptions and orientations of our lives. Each person must hear His Word and respond in believing obedience, so that one's lifestyle bears good fruit. Therefore, any church or so-called "believer" who says otherwise and is not living a life of believing obedience according to God's Word, is bearing false witness and is probably outside the kingdom. So, as Jesus said, "Be Careful how you hear," in other words, be careful what you listen to because the only way into His Kingdom is by hearing His Word and responding in believing obedience. Therefore, please keep this is mind when selecting a church to attend. We are not trying to seduce or scare anyone into attending our church--just make sure you attend a church that proclaims God's Word.
