Shalom Chaverim
(Welcome Friends)
What we can say about us? We are right now in the year 2025 and it is the year of our beginning of restoring in the area of London Ontario conservative Messianic Jewish community that is modelled on the faith of Yeshua the Messiah of Israel. When we say faith of Yeshua it means both the obedience to the voice of Ruach HaKodesh( The Holy Spirit) and all applicable Mitzvot(commandments) of the Torah . In summary the scripture calles this HaDerech ( The Way). Our Messianic Jewish Scriptures of the New Covenant present the disciples of Yeshua as “the people of the way” (Acts 24:14).
What does this mean? It means that we are Torah conformed, Yeshua centred and Ruach HaKodesh filled believers.
Torah conformed– means that we pay attention to observe the mitzvot – commandments from the Tora which are applicable to our daily living and walk with Adonai our Elohim – God
Yeshua centred – means that we pay attention to learn from the life of Yeshua how to observe Adonai’s mitzvot and how to approach to people that we meet in our life.
Ruach HaKodesh filled – means that we very carefully pay attention how the Ruach Elohim is guiding us every day in our life in every matters of our daily life.
At the same time we preserve many elements of Jewish traditions that generally characterize all varieties of Judaism as we are part of jewish religion; yet at the same time we are focusing on restoring in our life the pure walk in faith and faithfulness of Yeshua our Jewish Messiah as it is shown to us in the writing of the Besora – Good News of our Lord Yeshua HaMashiach. Thus, as we go through our life, we imitate the HaDerech shel Yeshua – The Way of Yeshua.
In our community we are open to welcome Jewish and non-Jewish believers in Yeshua HaMashiach. People who believe that Yeshua (Jesus) is the promised Messiah of Israel and who would like to share with us the same vision, values, and mission as we do.
We believe that Yeshua is our Redeemer and through His sacrifice on behalf of us He has redeemed us from condemnation of our sins.
We would like to form a community that is focusing in brotherly love and truth and continually discovering the heritage and legacy of the Messianic Jewish believers from 1th century CE. By doing so we are celebrating our spiritual life and Messianic Jewish culture that is given to us by our Lord and Master of HaDerech – The Way; Yeshua HaMashiach.
In our community at the appointed times by our Elohim we have Mikra Kodesh (holy convocation). Our worship is in the likeness of traditional Jewish synagogue which is similar in its character to the first century Messianic Jewish congregation.
In our gathering we experience not only like-minded community, but also in our midst we share by testimonies how our Heavenly Father works in our life.
We understand that from birth to death, life should be lived in the fullness of God’s grace and His presence. And the only acceptable worship to Him is to be done in the Ruach VeEmet – In the Spirit and the Truth.
Walking through our lives in this way, we have the assurance that Yeshua is always with us through the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit), offering to us life where our walk with God is ever richer, fuller and deeper than we could ever imagine.
From Passover to Sukkot, from our birth to death, the entire Messianic Jewish life cycle reminds us of God’s love towards us and His promises to be with us and redeem us His people.
Why Our Faith is Messianic Jewish?
The Bible is written by Jewish believers that were practicing Judaism . The entire Sacred Scriptures teaches us that Adonai builds His relationship and delivers all His promises in His covenants that He made only with Israel. He invites every person to join to Him in His covenants. Yeshua taught in His teachings that Salvation comes from the Jews. He is The promised Jewish Messiah. From Moses onwards He was promised to Israel and came to Israel, and He will return to Israel. Yehudim – Jewish people are His people, and every one who is from the Goyim (Gentiles) who wishes to be part of His covenants and His people is welcomed through the faith in Yeshua HaMashiach who is the only One Shepherd of only one flock.
We also understand that He did not found or establish Christianity, but showed to His people the Messianic Jewish Way for how perfectly to walk with God the Elohim of Israel. Yeshua commanded His talmidim/disciples to follow His Way. We are also his talmidim/disciples. He is the Way He is our Way to the Heavenly Father and to Olam Haba – world to come.
Our focus is on the Jewish people, as well as on all other nations to form community in unity of HaDerech – The Way of Yeshua.
From our prayers and our offerings we support Messianic Jewish soldiers that stand up to defend Israel. We also pray and support messianic families in Israel. We stand against every aspect of Anti-Semitism.
Above all we present to every human being the Good News of Salvation in Yeshua. We do that in the form and fashion which was originally presented to the Jewish people and further to the converts in the first century CE. From that time Messianic Judaism was practised by both jewish and non jewish believers in Yeshua until they were heavily oppressed and persecuted first by the Roman empire and then by the proto- catholic christian church.
Our mission goes further
Our goasl is not only to build here local Messianic Jewish community, but also help those who have no community in their locations and who wants to particpiate online in live worship and fellowship with like minded people around the word. Perhaps we can also help them to form their own local Messianic Jewish home fellowship?
As we will grow we will develop programs that will be suitable for learning Hebrew, and to offer program for conversion to Messianic Jewish faith.
Shalom shalom!
