“DISCIPLESHIP IS MORE ABOUT MAKING FOLLOWERS OF CHRIST AND LESS ABOUT MAKING PHILOSOPHERS OF CHRIST”

-Pastor Lucius

Our Doctrine

  • THE BIBLE: The Holy Scriptures, the Bible, is worth depending on! Every word in the original writings is inspired by Yahweh and written by man, is without error. All scripture is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction and instruction in righteousness(2 Tim. 3:16-17), and they testify of our Jesus the Christ(John 5:39).(2 Peter 1:20-21/ Proverbs 30:5/ Romans 16:25-26)

  • GOD(YAHWEH): The One True Eternal God & Creator, who exists eternally in three persons yet one and distinct: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. There is only ONE TRUE GOD!(1 John 5:7/Genesis 1:26/Matt. 3:16-17, 28:19/Luke 1:35/Isaiah 9:6/Hebrews 3:7-11)

  • JESUS THE CHRIST: God the Son, second person of the Trinity, became incarnate in the man, (Yeshua) Jesus the Christ in the earth to redeem from the earth all who would be saved through faith in Him. Born of a virgin. Lived a sinless life. Performed miracles and demonstrated His power & authority over all things. He died on a gory cross and rose from the grave three days later. Ascended into heaven as disciples watched, and He is soon to come back with justice and judgement. Yeshua Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to be with us. He sits on the right hand of Yahweh in Heaven and has been given all authority, power, glory and honor. He is our Savior, Lord & King! He is the living Word. He is the only way to God. There is no other way except through Yeshua Ha Mashiach(John 1:1,14, 20:28/1 Timothy 3:16/ Isaiah 9:6/Phillipians 2:5-6/ 1 Timothy 2:5)

  • HOLY SPIRIT: God the Spirit is the third person of the Trinity, equal in power and glory with God the Father and God the Son. The Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin, unrighteousness and judgement. The Holy Spirit baptizes the saints to empower the ekklesia(church) to be witnesses of Christ, empowers the people of Yah with gifts for the ministry & mission and empowers the people ambassadors of Christ to love and good deeds. The Holy Spirit comforts, teaches, reminds us of everything Christ has taught through the Word. He transforms, regenerates, reveals, seals, imparts wisdom & discernment, anoints, revives our spirit, leads and speaks to and through the church of Christ.(John 14, 16:8-11/ 2 Corinthians 3:6/ 1 Corinthians 12:12-14/ Romans 8:9/ Ephesians 5:18)

  • MANKIND: (Genesis 1:26-27)Men and women were made in the likeness of the One True God, as male and female, to reflect Yahweh’s image and represent His Kingdom rule on the earth. Through the disobedience of Adam this design was distorted. Through the obedience of Christ, this design has been restored.(Genesis 1:26-31, 3:1-7/ Romans 5:12-21)

  • SALVATION: Salvation is freely offered to all who repent from sin and believe in Jesus Christ and confess faith in Yeshua Jesus as Lord, Messiah, Son of Yahweh & King.( Ephesians 2:8-9/ Galatians 2:16, 3:8/ Titus 3:5; Romans 10:9-10/Acts 16:31/ Hebrews 9:22)

  • CHURCH: (Ekklesia) The called out assembly of Yahweh who play a mediatorial role among the God and the nations of the earth. A family, a nation, a priesthood redeemed through Jesus, empowered by the Holy Spirit to bear one another’s burdens, manifest His love to the world and point neighbors back to Christ with the gospel, living devoted to the Word, prayer, breaking bread, fellowship and evangelism(Matt. 16:13-18/ Acts 2:42-47/ Ephesians 1:22, 2:19-22/ Hebrews 12:23/ John 17:11, 20-23)

  • STEWARDSHIP: Faithfully managing our time, talent, and treasure as resources for God’s purposes and glory.

  • SACRAMENTS: (1)Water baptism in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, after repentance and confession of faith in the life & lordship of Yeshu Jesus the Christ, symbolizes a believers death and new life in Christ, and proclaims the believers covenant relationship with Yahweh and His Son Yeshua Jesus. (2) The Lord’s Supper is a sacred time believers only of the Christ, remember, reflect and celebrate the life, death, resurrection, ascension and second coming of our King and Messiah Yeshua Jesus. (Matt. 26:26-29/ 1 Corinthians 10:16 & 11:23-25)
