What does Teshuvah mean?
Teshuvah means repent, confess, cleanse; Turn to the Father!
The lie that the father of lies, Satan, whispers in our ears with great success is that when we have accepted Jesus (Saved), all your sins are instantly washed away, and you can continue living without cleansing by His Blood. Due to many witnesses and Scripture, we have experienced how the Holy Spirit works in you so that His fruit and His works become visible. We fully believe in Jesus' command in His Word: "Confess with your mouth and have repentance in your heart THEN I am faithful and just to cleanse your sins with His precious Blood.
What we believe?
As a church, we believe in:
-
God the Father, God the Son Jesus Christ and God the Holy Spirit – one God in three persons.
-
The true deity and humanity of the Lord Jesus Christ – Jesus is fully God and fully human.
-
The atonement made on the Cross by our Lord for the sin of the world.
-
The person of the Holy Spirit as one who sanctifies and who sets apart, empowers and imparts spiritual gifts to the church.
-
The Bible is the inspired Word of God and is authoritative in all matters of faith and practice.
-
That salvation comes only through repentance towards God and faith in Jesus Christ.
-
The immersion of believers as the only scriptural form of baptism.
-
The Rapture, when Jesus comes on the clouds for His Bride, will happen before the Tribulation
As a church, our primary aims and functions are:
-
To glorify God and be an expression of His character and Kingdom in the world.
-
To meet regularly for worship, prayer, biblical teaching, encouragement and fellowship.
-
To encourage congregational partnership in the mutual care of each other’s spiritual and physical well-being.
-
To engage in the task of mission to the local community, the nation and the world (Matthew 28:19-20)
-
In every possible way, to seek to make disciples of Jesus Christ and bring them into His church.
