Ministry
Before delving into doctrines I am offering my perspective on the overview of the faith once delivered highlighting the giant philosophical divergences between the original faith and traditional Christianity. Early Christianity was a mess with respect to doctrines and this idea that one was condemned if they disagreed was a foreign concept. The apostles openly disagreed and discussed concepts while remaining brethren. They also did not believe in eternal hellfire for anyone, let alone for those with slight disagreements in doctrine. At the end of this message I explain what the bible actually teaches about the two resurrections and what will happen to sinners and those who have never heard the gospel. Spoiler alert, it's not what you hear in Sunday church.
John Calvin and Martin Luther were completely fine having individuals publicly executed for disagreeing with their doctrines. The "early church fathers" had no problem pronouncing eternal judgment on people who disagreed with their doctrines and also using violence to enforce their beliefs. Those who used violence to enforce doctrine in the first century were exclusively the bad guys so it is of the highest level of irony that once Christianity attained to power, it also resorted to violence. Let us learn the lessons of the past and greet each other with love and patience, allowing for the Holy Spirit to lead us in growth toward Yahweh and His Son.
Baptism is required for salvation. It is the only special thing we have to separate us from the rest of the world's religions, it is commanded, and the Son of God did this as an example for all who will come to believe in Him. This message shows the history of the practice of cleansing spiritual impurities with water from a Hebraic perspective and focuses on the incredible importance of Baptism for salvation of the Christian.
Accept Yeshua as the Messiah, repent of your sins, and get baptized as a symbol of being born again into the family of YHVH aka God. Baptism is something that didn’t quite come out of the blue but took on more meaning as it drew near for the time of Christ. Washing with water to resolve spiritual impurities is something from Torah that then became something that was used to identify the people of God throughout Judea in the two centuries before Yeshua. In the first century, the practice of mikva’ot was remarkably common, then John the Baptist elevates immersion to being for the forgiveness of sins. Yeshua Himself is baptized by John to show us the example, not because of any need, and the Spirit descended on Him like a dove. The Father even said, from heaven, “you are my beloved Son, in You I am well pleased” when He was baptized. This sanctioned baptism and showed us that it is indeed required. Those who crucified the Messiah, guilty of His murder, confessed their sin and were baptized in His Name on the day of Pentecost, further showing us the requirement for this practice. Peter had to be humbled to be shown that baptism was for all whom God will call to Himself, whether from Israel of the nations.

My wife and I in 2020 when I got my shofar. There is a learning curve. Then me again in 2025. Not that it took me that long to learn how to blow it, I just haven't done any videos with it during that time.

Our fourth dance for Sukkot 2025. Here is the song we are dancing to since it's very hard to hear it on here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dv30TWM6Efs
Also, we are in a rented hall so the decorations don't belong to us. We are a Messianic congregation and have our meeting room decorated in a more biblical fashion.
This is our second dance for our Sukkot aka Feast of Tabernacles site in North Kansas City for 2025. Please click the link to join us! https://firstcenturychristianity.net/fot-2025/
As it turns out, the bible tells us quite plainly when Jesus Christ aka Yeshua the Messiah was born. It's not December 25 and it's not Sukkot. What's really shocking is that it's right in plain view!
This one is a total slam dunk for us. There is no question the first century church kept Passover. Paul explains Messiah is our Passover and what we just did is as mirrored off the first century church as was can possibly do. This is not so we can be technically accurate, although that is important. But if we are to believe in this faith, we must pattern our lives after it and fully adopt it. Belief must be manifested as a change in behavior and practices.

2025 Holy Days in Kansas City
We are hosting Sukkot aka The Feast of Tabernacles in Kansas City in 2025 in addition to all the Holy Days of Leviticus 23. This video is the announcement, please follow the link below to get details as they become available. Please contact us through the website to let us know if you are intending to fellowship with us for any of Yahweh’s appointed times this year. These blessed events require planning, so we really need get an idea of how many may come. Please also contact us with any gifts you may want to bless us with from dance to music, kids classes, group activities, crafting, or anything else.
The Holy Days from Leviticus 23 prophetically explain the plan of salvation that God established at the foundation of earth. They have deep meaning for Christians and were continued to be kept by the New Testament converts in the first century. We observe these days in a New Covenant context, as the early believers did, in anticipation of the return of Yeshua the Messiah, where He will usher in a millennial kingdom where observance of these days will be required.
We welcome all who wish to observe God’s Holy Days in 2025 in Kansas City in a spirit of unity and cooperation.

The parallels between Joseph and Yeshua (Jesus) aren't just remarkable, they are prophetic and establish our understanding of the relationship between Yahweh and His Son.
Messianic Torah Portion Vayeshev (and he lived) is about Joseph being sold into slavery by his own brothers. There are many parallels between Joseph and Yeshua, the Messiah, which we discuss in this study. The focus of our congregational discussion is on prophecy and its ultimate purpose, which is to further the kingdom of God.
The history of the Day of Atonement is almost as old as earth itself. This day is applicable to Christians today and incredibly important for understanding the end of days.
Written notes of this message, given on the Day of Atonement 2024, are available at https://firstcenturychristiani....ty.net/yom-kippur-20
