Who We Are
Local Community Group & Equipping Ministry
Messianic fellowship that functions as a Torah pursuant Life ModelTM community. Our halacha is a combination of traditional discipleship and faith formation work toward both individual and corporate personal and spiritual maturity.
There is a difference between being saved and being a disciple. Some of us are saved, "yet so as through fire." We are grateful to God for saving us from sin, but we are of no use to Him in so far as our actual life is concerned We are not spiritual disciples. Our Lord's last command was not, "Go and save men," but, "Go,...and make disciples:
We cannot make disciples unless we are disciples ourselves. When a man comes to Jesus it is not sin that is in the way, but self realization, pride, his claim to himself. "I must realize myself, I must be educated and trained I must do those things that will help me to develop myself. Self-realization is anti-Christian. All this is vigoroMarus paganism, it is not Christianity. Jesus Christ's attitude is always that of anti self-realization. His purpose is not the development of man at all; His purpose is to make men exactly like Himself, and the characteristic of the Son of God is not self-realization but self-expenditure. Spiritual selfishness must go--am I prepared for it to go? If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself : that is "let him give up his right to himself in Me.
Oswald Chambers, from The Place of Help, 1935, Discovery House.

After watching our "Be Ye Set Apart" video above, one leader had some comments we appreciated, and a very good question:
How do You Keep the People Who Need What You Offer?
If you are in the area and would like to visit with us for Shabbat gatherings or another time, please contact us by email or telephone to make arrangements.
To learn more about how we view fellowship group dynamics and stages check out Our Definition of Community.
For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer [is] worthy of his reward.
1 Timothy 5:18
Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out [the corn].
Deuteronomy 25:4
We are honored to be called and enabled to be of encouragement to the Body of Messiah and strive to present what the Ruach has been showing us here in ways that will benefit others.
As a small fellowship the cost to keep this website up to date as well as our mini site available is difficult. All 100% of our resources go toward serving people through education or support. We are all volunteer with no salary or benefits provided. Donations received for special purposes, such as support for our brothers and sisters in Kenya or in Israel, go directly to them with no percentage held back.
If you have found encouragement, help and wise counsel in these pages or through our teleconferences, will you please prayerfully consider helping us cover our costs so that we can continue to be available? The time is short. We want to be found going about our Father's business while it is yet day.
You may also contact Barb Klika at Christian Transitions
if you would like to arrange personal coaching by phone or Skype. This, too, will help us maintain our services offered freely for all here.
We have a gift of handmade tzittziot as our thank you for those who establish a subscription!
May you be blessed and strengthened in our Messiah Yeshua!
We always appreciate your support when you find encouragement and help here in these pages.
