Shoresh David Messianic Synagogue

Vision Statement

We shall love the Lord our God with all our heart, and with all our soul, and with all our mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. The second is like it. We shall love our neighbor as ourselves. On these two commandments depend the whole law and the prophets. Therefore, we will go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. We are not ashamed of this good news about Messiah, for it is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes, Jews first, and also non-Jews. (Deuteronomy 6:4-5, Leviticus 19:18b, Matthew 22:37-40)(Mark 16:15)(Romans 1:16)

Statement of Faith

We believe in the one true God, the Creator of heaven and earth the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. (Exodus 3:6)

We believe in the triune nature of God; though He is One God, we recognize Him as God the Father (Avinu), God the Son (Yeshua) and God the Holy Spirit (Ruach Ha Kodesh). (2 Corinthians 13:14)

We believe the Bible is the divinely inspired, inerrant, authoritative Word of God. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)

We believe that God the Father sent His only begotten Son, Yeshua Ha Mashiach (Jesus the Messiah), to die for the sins of the world and to make atonement for all mankind, that whoever believes in Him may have eternal life. (John 3:16)

We believe that following Yeshua’s crucifixion and death, God raised Him from the dead and that He ascended unto His Father in heaven, where He reigns forever as King of kings and Lord of lords. (1 Corinthians 15:20 and Revelation 19:26)

We believe that all who receive salvation through the blood atonement of Yeshua (Jesus) will also share in the power of His resurrection from the dead and will live forever in the Kingdom of heaven (Revelation 5:9-10)

We believe that the Ruach Ha Kodesh (Holy Spirit) has been poured out on all believers in Messiah Yeshua (Jesus) to empower them to be witnesses for Him and to live a holy life in Him. We further believe in the gifts of the Ruach Ha Kodesh and in the operation of those gifts throughout the Body of Messiah. (Acts 1:8 and 1 Corinthians 12:1-11)

We believe that Yeshua has broken down the middle wall of partition and that all believers, both Jew and Gentile, are one in Him. We further believe that in these last days, God is preparing the Bride of Messiah for Yeshua’s second coming, of which only the Father knows the time. (Galations 3:28 and Matthew 24:36)
