Today we use the
Gregorian calendar from Pope Gregory; from the 1500’s.
Today is August 10th
2013
August -- Augustus Caesar's month
Latin
Augustus "Augustus"
Latin Augustus mensis "month of Augustus"
Latin sextilis mensis
"sixth month"
Sextilis had 30
days, until Numa when it had 29 days, until Julius when it became 31 days long.
Augustus Caesar clarified and completed the calendar
reform of Julius Caesar. In the process, he also renamed this month after
himself.
----------------------------------------------------
Yehovah has His
own calendar
We are now in the
6th month called Elul, 2nd day
These 2 verses below indicated to us Elul must be the 6th month
Neh.6 [15] So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth day of the month Elul,
לֶ אֱלוּל in fifty and two
days.
Neh.7[73] So the priests,
and the Levites, and the porters, and the singers, and some of the people, and
the Nethinims, and all Israel, dwelt in their cities; and when
the seventh month came, the children of Israel were in their cities.

---------------------------
It’s very nice to be back in Tennessee after a weeklong visit with my wife to
New York, Brooklyn and New Jersey.
While driving through Manhattan and Brooklyn, I noticed many schools and
learning institutions of various religions and beliefs.
I see everyone’s teaching, instructing and promoting their belief systems.
So I decided this morning, to do this topic entitled, “Our vision and
Focus”.
Now a days, with the many formats such as Facebook,
YouTube, paltalk, and so many other chat rooms that
are espousing their beliefs and doctrines, I feel the need to really teach,
explain, and bring understanding, for a true, unadulterated, untainted Torah
mindset to as many people as possible.
Today's Topic:
Our vision and Focus
As always, all are welcome to join us and learn about topics never
discussed in churches or synagogues, such as:
The Laws of God
The calendar of God
The pagan calendar we
use every day
The three Feasts of
Yehovah
The 7th day Sabbath
The 7 Sabbaths in the
Feasts, the Holy Convocations
And
many more

I would love to have a
congregation to attend where I live, how do I start one?

like-minded people as other do?
Where can I find true fellowship in Messiah?
Where can I go for the Sabbath?
Where can I learn the Scriptures?
Where can my children go to school?
I have so many questions, where can I seek scriptural counsel on these
matters?

Religious School Vision Statement
The One in Messiah Congregation is now 11 years old this year, 2013
We have a clear
vision and focus
We plan to have a Bible school that builds an integrated model on Biblical
education, which encourages and facilitates family involvement and lifelong
learning.
We embrace diversity of background as we seek to celebrate our common
bonds of Messianic identity: intellectually, spiritually, and culturally.
All of our values are taught from a biblical perspective; all decisions
are made within the framework of biblical thought.
We seek to increase biblical knowledge in the many of our disciplines in
the areas of Hebrew, History, Social Justice, and all areas of everyday life
…with the Bible as our anchor.
We seek to strengthen the relevance of believers in the Messiah as the
foundation of everyday living.
We pray to find families that delight in meaningful biblical exploration
in informal, yet structured classroom environments.
We encourage all to seek the knowledge of God in scriptural readings,
praying, fasting, writing, discussion, liturgical expression and non-traditional
(play, art, music, acting, and nature) realms.
We strive for biblical enrichment in the classroom, in the home, and in
the world.
We believe God for a faculty that promotes Godly education.
As we attain these things, we will need teachers to volunteer. We need
teachers with child- centered focus, embody professionalism, knowledge,
dedication, commitment, enthusiasm, creativity, integrity, patience, and
accountability.
They must share their time to ensure the continuation of biblical growth
and development, with their own biblical education as a priority.
Our biblical school is a home away from home, a holy place.
Our passion for scriptures pervades our curriculum, celebrations,
surroundings, behaviors, attitudes, and approaches.
We believe, at One in
Messiah in living the sacred values we teach.
We teach God's kindness, compassion, fear He deserves, His truths, His
righteousness.
We feel compelled to see those values in the classrooms, offices,
sanctuary, chapel, and playground in all aspects of a believer's life.
We want to come together to celebrate the joys of the Messiah and His
observance, as we create a safe haven for behavior and involvement.
We believe that education occurs both inside and outside the religious
school.
The Bible is a way of life and therefore needs to be encountered through
a variety of experiences.
We take this idea very seriously.
As a result, the following programs are included as part of our biblical
educational program.
We plan to have family education at One in Messiah Congregation designed
to promote Messianic and biblical practices as a way of life.
Our programs will help our families to become more involved in a
"biblical life" and in our school.
Parents who also attend our biblical school should demonstrate to their
children that biblical learning is a lifelong and family centered process.
All parents are encouraged to participate in the studies.
Some subjects will involve exploring ways to observe the yearly holy days
and Shabbat with scriptural source background.
We would
love to have community scholars and professionals join us.
This course will look into many concerns of society, culture, and
religion from a variety of different scriptural perspectives.
Our curriculum will be designed to teach our children about the Feasts
of Yehovah and observances that are part of biblical requirements.
We realize that these "Feasts of Yehovah" should be practiced
and observed.
It is of great importance for families to experience these feasts of Yehovah and the
Sabbaths in an individual as well as communal setting.
We encourage you to engage in these observances in your home and to join
the One in Messiah family when we celebrate together the Feasts of Yehovah.
We would love to have summer camp and organize a trips
to Israel if desired.
A Biblical summer experience offers an intensive exposure to the ideals
and values of the Messianic community in a unique setting.
We will encourage all of our students to take advantage of these fine
programs.
Financial assistance, we pray, will be available through the offerings
we receive. We will have an application process and deadline for each event.
-------------------------
As you can see, I dream big. We believe God for many things. He is a BIG
GOD.
I say again, please join us with your prayers, fasting, dedication and
finances.
We need
donations, properties, buildings, vehicles and finances.
Please call us with all and any ideas you may have at 615 591-9820 or
615 538-8471
Together as, One in
Messiah Congregation, we shall see these Godly desires turn into Godly
realities.
Come and praise the Messiah with us!
Have questions?
Come, let us reason together. Praise Yah!

Quite a dream I have isn't?

So dream big and maybe you’ll fall on one of the levels below, don’t
start small.
