 | "The
Vine" is dedicated to
encouraging the believers of Yahshua (Jesus) to show there love for Yahshua
by being a light to the world by living the blessed Torah observant
life.
 |
| We believe that Yahshua the Messiah is the only begotten Son of the Father, conceived of
the Holy Spirit, and born of the virgin Mary. That Yahshua 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 Yahshua 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 (Yahshua), 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 Yahshua 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 Yahshua is the manifested Word of Yahweh. Obeying Torah is
the same as obeying Yahshua. 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 Yahshua 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 observant 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 observe 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 Yahshua 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 Yahshua). Yahshua 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. Yom Teruah (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
Yom Teruah (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) Yahshua was born during this festival.
|
| We also observe two other festivals that are not commanded, The first
was celebrated by Yahshua our Messiah and recorded in the Brit Chadashah
(New Testament). Next we remember the salvation of the Jews by Queen
Hadassah (Esther). 1. Chanukah (Feast of Dedication)
2. Purim (Feast of Lots)
