Texoma Messianic Fellowship

For Believers:

To Disciple Followers of Messiah Yeshua (Jesus) and help them grow in the knowledge of our Lord by "Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth" (2 Timothy 2:15), through the Whole council of God; both in the Tanach (Old Testament) and the B'rit Chadashah (New Testament).

For Israel:

*Genesis 12:3 CJB* I will bless those who bless you, but I will curse anyone who curses you; and by you all the families of the earth will be blessed."

To pray for Israel and the Salvation of the Jewish people through their Jewish Messiah, Yeshua.

To Bless Messianic Ministries in the land of Israel with Material and tangible benefits, as we have been blessed with Spiritual benefits and to stand with Israel and the Jewish people in solidarity and purpose as it pertains to the Land of Israel as well as standing against growing Anti-Semitism.

*Romans 15:25-27 CJB But now I am going to Yerushalayim with aid for God's people there. (26) For Macedonia and Achaia thought it would be good to make some contribution to the poor among God's people in Yerushalayim. (27) They were pleased to do it, but the fact is that they owe it to them. For if the Gentiles have shared with the Jews in spiritual matters, then the Gentiles clearly have a duty to help the Jews in material matters.

For the Church:

To walk in love and unity, desiring to build up the Body of Messiah by breaking down walls of division and misunderstanding with the help of the Ruach HaKodesh, initiating collaboration in Ministry and being a living example of the One New Man.

For the Future:

As a representation of Spiritual and Physical Israel, both Jew and Gentile believers, it is our desire for congregation to grow in number, knowledge and understanding. And as we grown, so too will the ministries within our Kehilat (Congregation):

Doctrinally, we believe:

1. In the One and Only Living GOD (Deuteronomy 6:4) eternally existent in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He is the GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the Creator of heaven and earth (Genesis 1:1, Isaiah 42:5, Isaiah 48:16, Matthew 28:19).

2. That Yeshua is Israel's promised Messiah and the Redeemer of the entire human race. By His life, death and resurrection, He fulfilled the Messianic prophecies of the Tanach related to Messiah's first coming. Yeshua, the Divine Messiah, is the fullest revelation of GOD to man (Isaiah 7:14, 9:6-7, 49:6, 53:1-12, Psalms 16:9-11, Hebrews 1:3).

3. That GOD made man in His own image and endowed him with a longing for intimate fellowship with GOD (Genesis1:26, 2:7, Psalms 42:1-2).

4. That man's disobedience to God's revealed will (sin) cause a separation between man and GOD (Genesis 2:16-17, Isaiah 59:1-2).

5. That the only provision GOD made for reconciling man to Himself was through the atoning work of the Messiah, who died as the sacrifice for our disobedience and rose again, manifesting the victory over sin and death (Leviticus.17:11, Isaiah 53:1-12, II Corinthians. 5:19).

6. That the Bible, both the Tanach and the B'rit Chadashah (New Covenant Scriptures), is the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of GOD, which is man's only reliable foundation to faith and conduct (Numbers. 12:6-8, Isaiah 8:20, II Timothy. 3:16-17).

7. That all who repent from sin and accept God's message of salvation in the Messiah are born of the Ruach HaKodesh (the Holy Spirit of GOD). Faith in the Messiah as the Mediator of the New Covenant makes us true children of GOD (Jeremiah. 31:31-34, Ezekiel. 36:24-27, John. 1:11-13).

8. That those who are of the Ruach HaKodesh become members of the universal people of GOD, or the Body of Messiah. This one spiritual fellowship includes both Jews and Gentiles as equal members of this body (I Corinthians12:12-13, 27, Ephesians 2:11-18, Isaiah 49:6).

9. In the work and presence of the Ruach HaKodesh in the life of the believer. He brings forth the fruit of righteousness in the life of all followers of the Messiah. The Ruach HaKodesh also gifts, orders and leads the local body of believers, enabling the believers to become a community of love and service (Romans. 8:1-4, Romans. 12, I Corinthians. 12, Ephesians. 4:11-12).

10. That GOD gave the practices of the Law for moral instruction and as a body of cultural - national practice which would point forward to the Messiah's work. The Law is valid as a reflection of God's righteous standard and as a means of preserving a distinct nation of Israel. "Fulfillment" by the work of Yeshua does not imply the abrogation of the Law but rather bringing the Torah to its fullest meaning. Righteousness with GOD is based solely upon grace through faith (Deuteronomy 30:11-20, 6:20-25, Psalms 19:7-14, Matthew 5:17-19, Romans 3:23, 27-31, 6:23, Ephesians2:8-9).

11. That the nation Israel is chosen by GOD to be a channel of blessing to all the nations on earth. The return of our people to their land is in fulfillment of Biblical prophecy. The day will come when Israel as a nation will accept the Messiah Yeshua. Then shall the Word of GOD go forth from Zion and the Messiah will come again to establish His world-wide rule from Jerusalem (Genesis 2:1-3, Isaiah 11, Zechariah 12:10, 13:1, Romans 11:26-29).

12. In the restoration of the Messianic Jewish Community. This community has been dormant for approx. 17centuries and the resurrected Messianic Community is an indication of God's faithfulness to His covenant people.

13. The restoration of the Romans 11 "Olive Tree" will provide healing between Jews and Gentiles in the Body of Messiah. (Romans 9-11)

14. In the ministry of reconciliation between Jewish and Gentile members of the Body of Messiah. Our fellowship reinforces the initiative to repair and heal the breach between Jewish and Gentile believers in Yeshua dating from the first centuries of the Church, doing so primarily through humility, prayer and repentance. (Acts 15, Acts 21:17-26, Romans 11:29, Romans 11:11-24, 2 Corinthians. 5:18-29, Ephesians 2:11-16)

15. In the spiritual unity of all believers in Yeshua, the Messiah. This is part of our identity and a witness to the faithfulness of GOD (Acts 21:19-20, Ezekiel 36:22, Ephesians 2:14, Romans9:4).

As a fellowship of believers we are determined to live according to the words of Yeshua in Matthew 22:37-40:"'Love the L-RD your GOD with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."
