Jewish Heritage Revival - One Heritage United by Messiah

1.	To introduce our Messiah to our Jewish congregation who don't know Him.
	"For I am not ashamed of the Good News, since it is God's powerful means of bringing salvation to everyone who keeps on trusting, to the Jew especially (first), but equally to the Gentile (non-Jewish)." Romans 1:16
	HE HAS COME!!!
2.	To reintroduce the Church to its one true God given heritage...Its Jewish heritage.

3.	To introduce our Messiah to the non-Jewish community, otherwise known as the rest of the world.
	"Therefore, go and make people from all nations into talmidim (disciples), immersing them into the reality of the Father, the Son and the Ruach HaKodesh, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember! I will be with you always, yes, even until the end of the age." Matthew 28:19 - 20

Our purpose is one of unification, as our banner indicates. The Church (congregation of God) is one body of believers (Jewish and non-Jewish) with its heritage found through the nation of Israel...the Jewish people. Unfortunately, throughout its history, the Church as it is known today has walked away from its very own Jewish roots and created its own "heritage".

It is divided. Hundreds of doctrines, creating hundreds of different denominations leading to many teachings with one thing in common. None include its origin, found within the rich documented history of Abraham, his children and the instructions (Torah) given by God to them.

Imagine one body united, without division, both Jewish believer and non-Jewish believer united, with the sole purpose of being what God had intended His people to be...

ONE VOICE, UNIFIED FOR THE PURPOSE OF BRINGING THE WORLD TO SALVATION THROUGH THE MESSIAH OF ISRAEL.

In order to express God's purpose for believers, we offer articles that will address various topics related to the true heritage of the church. We will offer articles that offer seasonal perspective as well as guest contributors, further emphasizing that our purpose is supported by others within the Body of Messiah.

Our journey will take us through God's Feasts, displaying the significance of Yeshua (Jesus), our Messiah to every believer . In addition, we will provide additional articles related to our purpose of one body, offering instruction, insight and guidance. Many of our articles will challenge the "Church status quo" and "Church tradition" as it is known today.

We will also challenge such things as anti-semitism throughout Church history (and in some instances, still present within the Church today) and "replacement theology". When we get back to the roots of our heritage, our primary focus should be towards our Creator...the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Our way is through our Messiah. As stated in John's Gospel by our Messiah:

"Yeshua said, "I AM the Way -- and the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father except through me. Because you have known me, you will also know my Father; from now on, you do know him -- in fact, you have seen him." John 14:6 - 7

We will look at what He said, did and taught. We will expand the Jewish thought and understanding of the time of our Messiah and apply proper context as it was meant. By exploring the proper Hebraic understanding of God's Word and our Messiah, will lead to the proper understanding of His Word, and hopefully extinguish many of the false teachings within the church today.

“Go in through the narrow gate; for the gate that leads to destruction is wide and the road broad, and many travel it; but it is a narrow gate and a hard road that leads to life, and only a few find it." Matthew 7:13 - 14

Many consider this passage to be directed towards unbelievers. Imagine that this passage is directed also to believers. What if the path you are being taught (led), is the wide path that leads to destruction? You don't want to be on that wide path. Our Messiah is Jewish, lead a Jewish life according to Torah, taught according to Torah and other Jewish text (Talmud) Don't you think you should know more about your own origin, considering His instruction...

Keep checking back for new articles. Even though the revelations are not new and have been in God's Word all the time, to the Church, the Jewish heritage is new.

Remember, Israel and the Jewish people are who received the Covenants from God.

"Here, the days are coming," says ADONAI, "when I will make a new covenant with the house of Isra'el and with the house of Y'hudah. It will not be like the covenant I made with their fathers on the day I took them by their hand and brought them out of the land of Egypt; because they, for their part, violated my covenant, even though I, for my part, was a husband to them," says ADONAI. "For this is the covenant I will make with the house of Isra'el after those days," says ADONAI: "I will put my Torah within them and write it on their hearts; I will be their God, and they will be my people. No longer will any of them teach his fellow community member or his brother, 'Know ADONAI'; for all will know me, from the least of them to the greatest; because I will forgive their wickednesses and remember their sins no more." Jeremiah 31:31 - 34

The Church, made up of non-Jewish believers, have been grafted into the vine (Israel, being the original branches of the vine) and along with Jewish believers in Messiah are joint heirs to all the promises God made with His people through His covenants.

"But if some of the branches were broken off, and you - a wild olive - were grafted in among them and have become equal sharers in the rich root of the olive tree, 18 then don't boast as if you were better than the branches! However, if you do boast, remember that you are not supporting the root, the root is supporting you. 19 So you will say, "Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in." 20 True, but so what? They were broken off because of their lack of trust. However, you keep your place only because of your trust. So don't be arrogant; on the contrary, be terrified! 21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, he certainly won't spare you! 22 So take a good look at God's kindness and his severity: on the one hand, severity toward those who fell off; but, on the other hand, God's kindness toward you - provided you maintain yourself in that kindness! Otherwise, you too will be cut off!" Romans 11:17

As joint heirs, it is time to rightly acknowledge and honor your one and only God given heritage.

"I am speaking the truth - as one who belongs to the Messiah, I do not lie; and also bearing witness is my conscience, governed by the Ruach HaKodesh: my grief is so great, the pain in my heart so constant, that I could wish myself actually under God's curse and separated from the Messiah, if it would help my brothers, my own flesh and blood, the people of Isra'el! They were made God's children, the Sh'khinah has been with them, the covenants are theirs, likewise the giving of the Torah, the Temple service and the promises; the Patriarchs are theirs; and from them, as far as his physical descent is concerned, came the Messiah, who is over all. Praised be ADONAI for ever! Amen." Romans 9:1 - 5

" A song of ascents. By David: Oh, how good, how pleasant it is for brothers to live together in harmony. It is like fragrant oil on the head that runs down over the beard, over the beard of Aharon, and flows down on the collar of his robes. It is like the dew of Hermon that settles on the mountains of Tziyon. For it was there that ADONAI ordained the blessing of everlasting life." Psalm 133:1 - 3
