The Vine

• “The Vine” is dedicated to encouraging the believers of Yeshua (Jesus) to show there love for Yeshua by being a light to the world by living the blessed Torah obedient life.
• We believe that Yeshua the Messiah is the only begotten Son of the Father, conceived of the Holy Spirit, and born of the virgin Mary.  That Yeshua was crucified, buried and raised from the dead, ascended to Heaven and is today at the right hand of the Father as the intercessor and will again return as the Reigning King.
• We believe that salvation is by grace through faith in Yeshua HaMashiach of Nazareth alone and that no one is justified before Yahweh by keeping the Torah.
• We believe that receiving Yahweh’s blessings comes through obeying the Commandments given on Mount Sinai to Moshe.
• We believe that neither fear of hell nor hope of salvation is the motivation for keeping the Torah but love for Yahweh alone is the reason we keep the Torah.
• We believe that all have sinned and come short of the glory of Yahweh and that repentance is commanded of God for all and necessary for the forgiveness of sin.
• We believe that all gifts of the Spirit are vital to the body of Messiah and should compliment the fruit of the Spirit evident in the life of the believer.
• We believe in God the Father (Yahweh or YHVH), the Son (Yeshua), and the Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh) the creator, redeemer, sanctifier and sustainer of heaven and earth are One (Echad).
• We believe in water baptism by immersion (Mikvah) and all who repent should be baptized in the name of Yeshua HaMashiach. Acts 2:38
• We believe that there is only one true Elohim, the Elohim of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
• We believe in keeping the feasts of Yahweh. Lev, 23:1-44
  
• We believe that the sign of the renewed covenant between Yahweh and His people is the Shabbat. Keeping Shabbat shows our love for the Mashiach. Exodus 31:16, Isa. 56:6, Luke 6:5
• We believe that Torah, Yahweh’s teaching and instruction, reveals the heart of Yahweh and therefore is the expressed image of Yahweh. Keeping the Torah is freedom from legalism and dogma of man.
• We believe that Yeshua is the manifested Word of Yahweh. Obeying Torah is the same as obeying Yeshua. Gen. 1:1, John 1:1
• We believe that Yahweh gave the Torah in written form through Moses to the Children of Israel, as recorded in the scriptures.
• We believe in the restoration of the two Houses of Israel and the prophetic teachings about it. Jer. 31:31, Ezek. 37:15-22
• We believe that Yeshua HaMashiach came not to destroy the Torah but to give it full meaning and substance. Matt. 5:17
• We believe Yahweh wants you to turn from a Torah-less lifestyle to a Torah obedient lifestyle and become His holy, precious & peculiar treasure.
  I set before you Life & Death….choose Life! Deut. 30:15,  1 John 2:3-6
  

• We keep all eight Moadim (Festivals of God) which are commanded to be observed.

  One is repeated weekly, called Sabbath while the other seven are annual.

  1. Pesach (Passover), which commemorates the final judgment upon Egypt and the beginning of our freedom from slavery. As New Covenant believers, we also see our Messiah Yeshua as the fulfillment of the being the Passover Lamb, passing us from death to eternal life.

  2. Hag HaMatzot (Unleavened bread) is, in conjunction with and following Passover, a seven-day Moadim, when we do not eat leavened bread, only unleavened bread. Leavening is a symbol for malice and wickedness. We are to remove leavening from our lives.

  3. Bikkurim (Feast of First Fruits) is the first day of the week (Sunday) following the first weekly Sabbath after the Passover. It commemorates the resurrection of life from the ground (both seeds that are planted, and The Messiah Yeshua). Yeshua was the first fruit of many brethren.

  4. Shavuot (Feast of Weeks) is the day following seventh weekly Sabbaths from the Feast of First Fruits, and on this day we observe Shavuot (commonly called Pentecost).

  5. Rosh Hashanah (Feast of Trumpets – also called Yom Teruah) is in late summer. This is the day we blow shofars (trumpets). This is the Jewish New Years.

  6. Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement) falls ten Days after Rosh Hashanah. This is a day of fasting and humbling prayer.

  7. Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles) is an eight-day Moadim. This final festival concludes the annual teaching cycle of the Torah and is observed by dwelling in temporary booths (such as tents or light campers) Yeshua was born during this festival.

• We also observe two other festivals that are nor commanded, The first was celebrated by Yeshua our Messiah and recorded in the Brit Chadashah (New Testament). The next we remember the salvation of the Jews by Queen Hadassah (Esther).1. Chanukah (Feast of Dedication)
  2. Purim (Feast of Lots)
