Ahava B'Shem Yeshua
Prescott, AZAhava B'Shem Yeshua is a Messianic congregation in Prescott, Arizona. Every Saturday at 10:30 AM it gathers for a worship service that runs until noon. The community calls itself "a group of regular people who want to honor Yeshua (Jesus) our Messiah." Music, prayer, dance and preaching all have a place, with God's word at the center. Each service includes prayer, preaching and giving. At the heart of its faith is Yeshua as the Son of God and the Messiah, in whom the fullness of deity dwells bodily. It reads Deuteronomy 6:4 through the Hebrew word Echad, understood as a plural One. Both the Tanakh and the Brit Chadasha are received as the inspired Word of God. Salvation, it teaches, comes by faith through grace alone, not by human effort. The congregation affirms God's covenants with the physical people of Israel. The return of Israel to the Promised Land is part of their fulfillment. Gentiles who trust in Yeshua are grafted into the olive tree. This does not make them Jewish, though they are joint heirs of the promise. Two House teaching is rejected as a form of replacement theology. They also reject the Sacred Name movement and setting the biblical calendar by new moon sightings or barley crops. Immersion is done in living waters, in the name of Adonai Yeshua HaMashiach.MessianicIAMCSMJAA
