RESTORING COVENANT HEARTS FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD
The core principle of this ministry involves the restoration of Covenant, Kingdom hearts. This is achieved by restoring an
unwavering love of GOD, restoring a hunger to know HIS ways, HIS Torah (GOD’S teaching & instructions)
and restoring a passionate and active love for our fellowman.
Our objective is to breathe new life into believers, encouraging them to be passionate for Messiah and the Word of GOD.
We teach from a Biblical Kingdom Hebraic perspective seeking “GOD’S Original Intent” for the Body of Messiah.
Ministry of SHOFAR is a place of learning, building, and strengthening our love of GOD,
devotion to YESHUA and Kingdom work, and our connection to one another.
OUR CALL IS ONE OF UNITY
To have a foundational impact upon the mind of the church, our Jewish brethren and the nations.
Our mission is to see the Body of Messiah restored to GOD’s original intent—
many members walking together as one, unified in love, purpose, and action.
Scripture reminds us that we are “no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with GOD’s people…
built together to become a dwelling in which GOD lives by HIS Spirit” (Ephesians 2:19–22).
We believe this UNITY, in accordance with GOD’s Word and principles, is not optional, but essential to faithfully reflecting GOD’s Kingdom on the earth.
We purpose to intentionally build relationships with fellow believers, local churches, ministries, and like-minded organizations to partner in Kingdom work.
Each carries distinct gifts, callings, and strengths, and when these are joined together,
the BODY of MESSIAH functions as it was designed to—growing and building itself up in love (Ephesians 4:16).
Our aim is not to compete or duplicate efforts,
but to come alongside what GOD is doing in HIS BODY as a whole, strengthening unity and increasing collective impact.
We Believe
In the ONE GOD
In the ONE GOD of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; eternally existing as
FATHER, SON and HOLY SPIRIT (RUACH HAKODESH) dwells within the
believer.. HE is YHVH (JEHOVAH) the GOD of Israel.
YESHUA (JESUS) is deity
YESHUA (JESUS) is deity. HE is 100% man and 100% GOD. HE was born
of virgin, lived a sinless, Torah observant life, died on the cross to atone
for our sins, and arose on the third day to defeat death. HE is alive today,
living in Heaven, and will be returning in the near future.
THE BIBLE IS ONE BOOK
THE BIBLE IS ONE BOOK; not divided into “Old and New Testaments”
rather ONE UNIFIED WORD. To attempt to make one part of the Bible
less relevant than another, or to imply that certain principles and patterns
established by GOD are now obsolete or that HE has changed
contradicts HIS Word and eternal character. The Bible is divine truth and
light. It is the inspired and actual Word of GOD, given to mankind through
Israel. It is infallible.
ONE PLAN OF SALVATION
GOD HAS ONE PLAN OF SALVATION for all people separated from GOD
by our sinful natures and the only way to a reconciled relationship with
GOD is to trust HIM and submit in faith to HIS SON, YESHUA.
A GOD OF COVENANT
GOD IS A GOD OF COVENANT. HE has given seven specific covenants to
mankind: the Edenic, Adamic, Noahic, Abrahamic, Mosaic, Davidic, and
the Renewed. These covenants govern all of GOD’s interaction with
mankind and establish the parameters for HIS will, grace, mercy,
judgements and HIS redemptive plan.
THE ECCLESIA (CHURCH)
THE ECCLESIA (CHURCH) IS NEITHER BUILDINGS NOR INSTITUTIONS; IT IS PEOPLE,
the unified body of Believers in YESHUA HaMASHIACH (JESUS CHRIST).
The ECCLESIA (Church) is called to advance GOD’s Kingdom on earth.
Just as Israel was chosen to reveal GOD’s Covenant and bring HIS blessings to all nations,
the “grafted-in” believers join with GOD’s people to continue that mission today (Matthew 28:18–20; Ephesians 2:19–22).
The modern-day ECCLESIA (Church) does not replace Israel.
Through YESHUA, it is grafted into GOD’s Covenant promises as ONE NEW MAN (Romans 11:17–18),
tasked with proclaiming the good news, making disciples of all nations,
and demonstrating GOD’s love, justice, and mercy (Matthew 24:14; Acts 1:8; 2 Corinthians 5:18–20).
Every act of obedience and service reflects the life of GOD’s Kingdom here and now (Matthew 5:14–16; Colossians 1:19–20).
GOD’S COVENANT WITH ISRAEL
From the beginning, GOD’s purpose was to dwell in relationship with humanity
and share the life of HIS Kingdom with them (Genesis 1:26–27; John 10:10).
After the fall of Adam, GOD chose a people through whom HE would activate HIS covenant,
reveal the ways of HIS Kingdom, and bring redemption to all humanity (Genesis 12:1–3; Romans 11:26–27).
GOD chose Israel for this purpose (Exodus 19:5–6; Deuteronomy 7:6–8).
Because HIS Covenants are ETERNAL and HIS word never changes,
Israel has not been replaced and never will be (Psalm 89:34; Jeremiah 31:35–37).
Through YESHUA, all nations are invited to be grafted into GOD’s Covenant and Kingdom,
participating in the promises first given to Israel (Romans 11:17–24; Galatians 3:7–9).
As Scripture affirms, ISRAEL IS GOD’S CHOSEN AND COVENANT PEOPLE,
through whom HE continues to accomplish HIS purposes (Isaiah 43:1–3; Romans 9:4–5).
Israel also refers to the set-apart land promised to Abraham and his descendants (Genesis 15:18–21; Joshua 1:3–4),
and thus the land defined in Scripture belongs to the Jewish people.
ISRAEL REMAINS CENTRAL TO REDEMPTION.
The Church has NOT replaced Israel. We reject replacement theology in every form (Romans 11:1–2, 28–29).
The Jewish people are the elder brothers and sisters of our Hebraic faith
and are deserving of honor, respect, and love (Romans 11:13–18; Matthew 5:43–44).
KINGDOM WORK: SPIRITUAL AND PRACTICAL SERVICE
KINGDOM WORK is the ECCLESIA (CHURCH) living out GOD’s rule on earth,
reflecting YESHUA’S (JESUS) character through love, mercy,
justice, and holiness (Matthew 6:33; Matthew 5:16; Micah 6:8).
SPIRITUALLY, it involves submission obedience to GOD, prayer, worship, discipleship,
teaching, and sharing the good news, equipping believers
to grow in faith and bear fruit (Colossians 1:10; 2 Corinthians 5:18–20).
PRACTICALLY, it expresses GOD’s love in tangible ways:
feeding the hungry, caring for the vulnerable,mentoring others,
seeking justice, and promoting peace and reconciliation (Matthew 25:35–40; James 1:27; Isaiah 1:17).
Every act of service demonstrates GOD’s presence,
bringing hope and transformation to individuals and communities for HIS Glory.
KINGDOM WORK connects the ECCLESIA (CHURCH) to its calling:
to be salt and light – HIS hands and feet –
revealing GOD’s Covenant, demonstrating HIS Ways,
and extending HIS Blessings to all nations.
Thus returning to GOD’s original intent HE began with Adam and purposed for humanity.
