What Do We Mean By An Equipping Ministry and Community? The community is the viable Body of Messiah coming together, living and having its being in union with the Head, having a dependence upon God, and living out the principles taught to us in the Scriptures. We worship as Messianic Believers. Community members are encouraged to live out their giftings so that they can contribute to the growth and development of the Body of Messiah. Through the Life Model process of healing, God reveals to us the person He created us to be so that we can live through the heart that Messiah gave us. (Ephesians 4:11-16) In this equipping community, we are committed to the truth of God's Word, to giving God the glory through prayer and praise, to healing, to praying for and with one another, to being honest with one another by communicating relational problems with one another directly, to developing covenant relationships, and allowing God to sift us in a community environment. We attempt to live "not my will but Thine" and are becoming "set apart" for His purposes. We are dedicated to the development of spiritual and emotional maturity in Messiah Yahshua and the study of the Holy Scriptures that we might show ourselves approved as students of the Word. (2 Tim. 2:15, 3:16-17, Acts 17:11) For we are His workmanship, created in Yahshua HaMashiach for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. (Ephesians 2:10) |
