Hineh Yeshua Congregation

Hineh Yeshua Congregation gathers in Canberra every Saturday from 10:00 to 11:30 a.m. for Shabbat and also meets on the Feast Days. The community describes itself as "a Messianic Community of Jews and Gentiles." Its stated aim is that all people would behold Yeshua as the promised Messiah, for the Jew first and also for the world. Shabbat opens with praise, worship and Davidic dance. Hebraic Biblical teaching follows at 10:45. A mid-week prayer meeting runs Wednesday evenings in members' homes.

Shabbat and the Biblical Feasts are kept as prophetic memorials of what Yeshua fulfilled at His first coming and will fulfil when He returns to Israel. The congregation teaches that Jewish believers in Yeshua remain sons and daughters of Israel. Gentile believers, it holds, are grafted into the olive tree as spiritual sons and daughters of Abraham. It affirms that Israel remains a covenant people and that God's covenant with Abraham, including the land, is irrevocable. Salvation, it believes, has always been by grace through faith, and works of law have never saved anyone.

Robert Miles, ordained by the IAMCS as a "Messianic Pastor," leads the congregation with his wife Eleanor. He was sent out from Baruch HaShem Messianic Congregation in San Antonio, Texas, and serves on staff with Celebrate Messiah. Eleanor co-leads the community and teaches Hebrew with Celebrate Messiah. The congregation belongs to the Celebrate Messiah network of Messianic congregations, which partners with Chosen People Global Ministries.
