Netzer HaTikvah
(pronounced, Net- zehr HaTeek- vah ) literally means in the Hebrew language,
"Branch of Hope". Netzer HaTikvah is a Messianic
ministry extending hope and encouragement to both the lost without
Salvation, while teaching, undergirding, and equipping those who already
believe in Messiah Yeshua, the Hope of Israel. Netzer HaTikvah's mission is to extend the true doctrine of Yeshua (Jesus) as was taught in the first century body of Messiah according to Acts 15:19-21. In that passage of scripture, new converts to Messiah were given a starting place of four restrictions after accepting Salvation. Then they were taught by worthy teachers the path of sanctification and daily applications found in the Torah (five books of Moses). Our goal is not to place people under a heavy load of restrictive burdens based in legalism, but rather to teach the value and beauty found in the continuous doctrine of Truth, which is interwoven from Genesis to Revelation. With such teaching, both new converts and firmly planted believers grow more progressively into the deeper knowledge and likeness of our Redeemer. It is our belief and conviction of heart that the true role of Messianic Judaism is to restore the roots of our faith back to the original intent of the writers of the Gospels which involves the respect and reverence due Torah which is the foundation of all believers past and present. As such, we consider it our duty and privilege to represent Messiah to the world in the fashion depicted by the prophets of old, as well as the writers of the New Testament uplifting Yeshua as Savior and King. With this conviction, we stand at the beck and call of the Almighty to speak the Truths of Messiah to any willing ear. We find that the solid principles of the Word of God have the power to bring conviction of sin that leads to repentance and life everlasting in Messiah Yeshua. Just as Yeshua reached out to the infirmed and enslaved regardless of social status, this also is our directive under His leadership. Netzer HaTikvah places emphasis on meeting the needs of people in the circumstances in which they are found. A solid biblical ministry team of elders and teachers operating under the covering of this ministry are called of God to extend the BRANCH of Hope. May this web site and the listings of various meeting places and teachers extend to whosoever will the Hope found in Messiah. Shalom, Lynn Greuter Messianic Pastor Netzer HaTikvah |
