The stage is being set for a wonderful reconciliation of Israel to their God. It may appear to have been a long time coming, but as we know, God works to His own Schedule. Yet, the signs and evidence of this reconciliation happening apparent to many, not only in Israel but around the world. In fact, all that we see currently taking place in the Middle East is merely a demonstration of God's promise to restore Israel happening before our very eyes.

We cannot read His word and not moved at the reliability of His promises and their timely fulfillment.

It is only since the ancient prophet, Nehemiah’s time of rebuilding Jerusalem, that we see have how God raises up people who are instrumental in helping to rebuild and restore what had lain desolate. He has been divinely orchestrating events for ages to achieve His main objective - the restoration of Israel in both a physical and spiritual sense.

What is noted is that when any physical rebuilding was undertaken and added benefit, the spiritual life of the people was also restored. God is totally committed to His Covenant as the restoration and revival of the Jewish people are vital conditions to His Return, according to prophecy.

Stand up and be counted

God is raising more Nehemiahs to catch the vision and become actively involved in what is the greatest rebuilding programme of our day. The fabric of our society and even the protective 'walls' of our churches (in respect of God's laws) lie in shambles. God wants us to begin to repair the protective walls so that we will be lights to our society and local communities and that God’s glory will once again shine forth from our midst.

Here, at Beit Nitzachon, we believe that we are strategically placed to 'stand in the gap' for the Jewish people through our prayers and witness. We believe that sound Biblical teaching is vital and urgently needed in the last days.

Our ministry provides a basis for the sharing of faith to the local and surrounding communities where we are located. For several years, there have been gatherings for Shabbat lunch, Davidic Dance workshop and Celebrations at Pesach, Shavuot, Sukkoth and Chanukah as we believe that its imperative that we understand the Jewish roots of our faith.

Called to Belong

One of the deepest desires each of us has is to have fellowship with others. This is especially true of new believers who seek to walk in newness of life. Such fellowship can be found through membership in the congregation. We seek to express our Oneness in Yeshua Messiah by recognizing the need for Jewish believers to express their Jewish identity, and for Gentile to explore the riches of the Jewish heritage. Congregational membership means mutual benefits and responsibilities for both the individual member and the congregation. Thus:

• We are committed in our Worship, seeking to express our love and praise to our Lord, in Spirit and in Truth.

• We continue to support and encourage each other, especially in times of stress, decision and difficulty.

• We seek to live a consistent life as believers, sharing our faith by word and life on a person to person basis.

• We recognize the need to be sound stewards of our financial and personal investments in the kingdom of God, supporting the work by methods of tithing (giving a tenth of our income) and offering.

• We are also aware of the wider congregational programmed at home and abroad and to support it by prayer.

Teaching

We take God's Word seriously as we believe its teachings have the power to inspire, convict and enrich our lives. In the light of this, we believe.

• The Bible is the inspired and only infallible and authoritive Word of God (2 Tim 3:16)

• There is only one God, eternally existent as God the Father, God the Son (the Devahr Adonai- Word of the Lord) and God the Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh) (2 Cor 13:14)

• In the deity of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal future return to this earth in power and glory (Matt 16:12 1 Cor. 15:3,4)

• In the blessed hope, which is the rapture of the believers at Messiah's coming (Titus 2:13)

• The only means of being cleansed from sin is through repentance and faith in the precious blood of Messiah (Peter 1:18, 19)

• Regeneration by Ruach Ha Kodesh is absolutely essential for personal salvation (John 3:3-5)

• The redemptive work of Messiah on the tree provides healing of the human body even today by God's grace (1 Peter 2:24).

• The infilling of Ruach HaKodesh is for now, even today, manifest by speaking in unknown languages as in Acts 2:4; 10:44-46, 15:8,9 since God has not changed (Hebrews 13:8)
