Lamb Fellowship
LAMB (Lighthouse Assembly of Messianic Believers) Fellowship began as a small home group in 1994. Over the years, this small group grew and encompassed several home fellowships. This growth resulted in the congregation that we have today. Fueled by our desire to teach Biblical truth and meet the needs of those who have committed to walking with us, we continue to grow, both in the number of members and in the strength of our unity.
Today, we are a body of dedicated Believers who seek to serve His Kingdom and one another. We embrace His Torah and our Messiah who is the Living Word. Through faith and by His Spirit we seek to establish His word as the standard for living within our congregation. All who share our desire for truth, relationship, accountability, and the love of Messiah are welcome.
Moving forward we hope to have significant impact on the lives of His people, Israel. Our desire is to develop true disciples of our Master, Y'shua. We realize that this is a process that takes time and commitment from all involved. Our faith is to be alive not in a philosophical but in real tangible every day action.
We believe that each person was created with a specific calling. We want to help identify that calling, equip you for the journey, recognize the anointing on your life, and encourage your efforts for His Kingdom. Building His Kingdom requires all parts of the Body to function as one. Through many parts being joined together we can accomplish His will in our lives.
Fundamentals of Our Faith
We believe in the Creator of heaven and earth whose name is Yahweh. "Hear O Israel, Yahweh our God, Yahweh is One" (Deut. 6:4). The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are united in God (Is 11:1-2, Lk. 4:18-21).
We believe in the Scriptures, both the Old and New Testament in their original, inspired text. They are the inspired and inerrant Word of Yahweh Almighty. They alone are the divine and final authority in determining all doctrinal truths (2 Tim. 3:16).
We believe that Yeshua of Nazareth is the Messiah, God made manifest in the flesh (1 Tim. 3:16). He was born of a virgin (Luke 1:34) and lived a sinless life. He died for us an an atoning sacrifice for our sins (1 John 4:10), was resurrected from the dead (1 Cor. 15:4), and has ascended to the right hand of the Father (Mark 16:19). Yeshua will return physically as King of Kings and Lord of Lords to reign over the earth (Zech. 14, Acts 1:9-11, and Rev. 19:11-16).
We believe that all have sinned and need the salvation, which is provided only through Yeshua and by the grace of Yahweh (Ps. 14:1-3, Rom. 3-23).
We believe that the Holy Spirit dwells all believers to lead, guide, teach, comfort, and empower us to live a righteous life (Jn. 14:26, 2 Tim. 1:7, 1 Cor. 14:26).
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and unsaved. The redeemed to everlasting joy in the presence of Yahweh, and the lost to eternal damnation and separation from Yahweh (John 5: 28-29 and Revelation 20:11-15).
We believe the Torah of Yahweh is the instruction of a loving and gracious Father to His children. It is the perfect law that gives us liberty (Ps. 119-44-45, James 2:25-26). The commandments of Yahweh will not disappear until heaven and earth disappear (Matt. 5:17-20). We delight in the instruction of Yahweh (Ps. 1:2). The Torah was not given for salvation. It is the loving instruction of how a redeemed people should live. Yeshua kept His Father's commandments and lived in the Father's love. We are instructed to walk as Yeshua walked (1 John 2:3-6). We are to obey Yahweh's commandments and to hold to the testimony of Yeshua (Rev. 12:17).
Community
LAMB Fellowship is a collection of families and individuals who truly care for one another. We laugh and cry together. We attempt to meet each others needs in small and large ways. While separated by geography we are spiritually together.
Our sense of the larger community of Believers continues to grow as well. Through our association with the Messianic Covenant Community we are in contact with like-minded people throughout the world. We strive to encourage them as much as they continue to encourage us. The Messianic Covenant Community provides us with accountability and a sense of being part of the greater community of faith in the body of Messiah.
Family
Family is at the heart of this fellowship. We encourage people to accept all the blessings that Yahweh has given them, children included. We believe that strong families are the building blocks of His Kingdom. Most of our families home school their children out of a desire to train them up in the way they should go. We do believe that this part of the spirit of Elijah moving in our world today "to turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers..." (Malachi 4:5-6)
A foundational belief of this fellowship is that men and women have distinct and equally important roles in the family and community of believers. Men are to walk in their role as the priests of their homes serving, protecting, providing, and caring for their family showing honor to their wives at all times.
Women should strive to emulate the life pattern outlined in Titus 2 and Proverbs 31. We place great value on the role of women in the Body of Messiah. We encourage women to find joy in their enterprises and to full pursue their divine callings.
We also believe that each family is its own entity and, while part of the congregation, each family has a leader who is accountable to Yahweh for how they live out their faith. We respect Biblical headship within the home and encourage fathers to lead their families and parents to teach their children the commandments of God.
Israel
Through Messiah's atoning sacrifice we are part of Israel. We are Abraham's seed and heirs of the promises given him by Yahweh. As followers of Yeshua who have been empowered by His Hoy Spirit, we have a deep love for the land, people, and Scriptures of Israel. We support Israel through various methods and are very focused on current events in the land of our forefathers.
