Messianic Worship

How does the Messianic form of religious faith differ from mainstream Christian belief? In a true sense, it is a return to a "whole Bible" basis for belief and worship. The New Testament, comprised of just 27 books, was never to be considered as a "replacement" for the Tenach, or Old Testament, nor are the New Testament writings the sole basis of our faith. The New Testament apostles refer to the Old Testament hundreds of times in explaining the basis of belief and doctrine. Nor has the Old Covenant been completely "abolished" in the New Covenant. It is instructive that the word "New" in Biblical Greek means a refreshed, revised, or "better" covenant. (Heb. 7:19, 22; 8:6; 12:24) Just as a butterfly does not represent an abolishing of his former self (the caterpiller), but a transformation, so too the New Covenant represents a transformed and improved form of the Old, firmly based and built upon the same original Biblical principles. (Heb. 7:12) We have more Messianic teaching available...

What is the Messianic view on Biblical Torah (Old Testament law)? We uphold New Testament teaching and "establish the law" (Rom. 3:31), believing that "not one jot or tittle" is removed for the believer (Matt. 5:17-19). However, under the New Covenant there is a transformation of law (Heb. 7:12). Yah's commands represent principles and precepts for us under the New Covenant, which has been called a "preceptive" view of Torah. Read more about God's law and the New Covenant...

Detroit Revival Rally

In August, 2008, a successful inner-city revival rally was held in Detroit, with a large audience of eager people attending to worship in songs of praise and anxious to hear the Word of Yah. The selection of photographs on this page form a collage of the day with singers, gospel proclaimers, and rap artists who poured their hearts out on behalf of the poor, the sick, and the downtrodden. Our Heavenly Father provided a beautiful warm day filled with sunshine to add to the joy of the worshippers. The day's events concluded in the evening with a health lecture, since our bodies are in need of proper care and Biblical nutrition. Praise Yah for a successful revival!
