As disciples of Messiah Yeshua, we teach the Hebrew path that He walked and His message of the restoration of the Kingdom of God.
Shavuot
YHVH Betroth's Himself to Israel!
Fifty days after YHVH redeemed the descendants of Jacob, He brought them to Mount Sinai and took them as His betrothed bride. He then gave them the Ketuba - the family rules - otherwise known as the Torah. For Israel, it was a 'starting over' moment. Roughly fifteen hundred years later - on Shavuot - He did it again!
"This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us ..."
KJV Acts 7:38

Joshua 5 Wave-Sheaf?
In order to keep the Wave Sheaf Offering within the spring festival of Hag haMatza, some teach the Hebrews performed a wave sheaf offering just days after crossing the Jordan, but is that the case? Is it necessary that the Wave Sheaf be performed during the festival? With a better understanding of this speacial offering, we can see that it is not.

Who Are the Firstfruits?
Passover, the Wave Sheaf, and Shavuot are all three tied together in timing. The Passover must occur before the Wave Sheaf, and the Wave Sheaf is connected to Shavuot by a 50-day count. What's behind this connection, and what does that connection have to do with God's purpose and the role of the Firstfruits?

the Promise of the Father
For many Christians, the 'Promise of the Father' is considered to be the giving of the Holy Spirit. But is that really the case? The 'Promise' that Yeshua taught to His disciples is a message of redemption of God's people, the Lost Sheep, and it is dependant on the Holy Spirit to be delivered to the nations.

Words - the Shavuot Miracle
After Yeshua's death, the disciples were fearful, after all, their Messiah had died. For 40 days, the risen Messiah encouraged them, and on Shavuot He gave them a miracle - the gift of words – what to say, and when to say them. The impact of those words gave them confidence that would propel them and their message for years to come.

Shavuot on Sunday?
The timing of the Wave Sheaf Offering and Shavuot is one of the major calendar issues in the Hebrew Roots "awakening". As YHVH continues to draw his people together, it's good to know the basis for the two major beliefs. The Jewish view is quite prevalent, but what about the Sunday view? This article shows the steps the author went through as he was being challenged with this question a few years back.

What Is the Church?
Did you know the word "church" cannot be derived from either the Greek or Hebrew texts of the Bible?; Where did the word "church" come from. Is it Biblical? More importantly, would it make a difference in our understanding of scripture if, instead of the word "church", the English translators chose to use the word that is a correct translation of the Greek text?

Hebrew Roots?
James Tissot - Wikimedia Commons Hebrew Roots is an 'awakening' . . . a realization that Messiah Yeshua (Jesus Christ) meant what He said when He told his disciples that 'not one jot or tittle would pass from the law til all things are fulfilled'. Since most prophecy has yet to be fulfilled, those of us who live by His words believe we should fashion our lives after the Torah-observant example of Yeshua.
To put it in a nutshell - we believe we are saved by His grace, and that saved people will attempt to follow in the footsteps of their Saviour.

the Hebrew Walk
The Hebrew Walk can best be illustrated by a straight path that leads to the Mountain of God. Sin, on the other hand, is when you get off the path, which frequently leads you over a cliff and headed for destruction. The remedy for sin is 'repentance' which in Hebrew simply means to 'return' - as in 'return to the path'.

Faith is knowing that you don't walk the path alone - that God is with you, protecting and providing along the way. -
Mystery of the Gospel
Paul and Tychicus by Gustave Doré, via Wikimedia God’s desire is that all mankind be saved, but how He plans to bring about that salvation has been hidden from his people – even many of the prophets – until He is ready to reveal it. Yeshua even said that He spoke in parables in order to conceal understanding of God's plan from the masses. Therefore, God's plan is a mystery to most people, but it is being revealed to His disciples.
The key to unlocking the mystery is found by taking the words of the prophets - beginning with Moses - and tying them to the words of Messiah Yeshua.

Ami Yisrael
'Ami Yisrael' is Hebrew for 'my people Israel'. We take the words of God, Yeshua, Moses, the prophets, and Yeshua's disciples seriously. Thus when Paul said "... if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise" (Gal. 3:29) we believe that applies to us. We are not trying to be Jewish, for the Jews are just a small part of the Hebrew people. Instead, we hope to pattern our lives after that of the Hebrew of Hebrews - Messiah Yeshua.
