A BIT ABOUT US...
A LITTLE ABOUT US
We are a small assembly located in Stonefort, Illinois. We meet every Sabbath Day (Saturday, see Leviticus 23 about the weekly Sabbath Day) at 11:00 AM CDT. We have 2 pastors (Pastor Bob and Pastor Eric).
​
Unlike other assemblies or churches, we believe in keeping the entire Word of Elohim, including the feasts of YAHUAH (found in Leviticus 23).

SMALL SAMPLE OF WHAT WE BELIEVE...
THE PHILADELPHIA ASSEMBLIES STATEMENT OF BELIEF
The Set Apart Scriptures in the oldest Hebrew and Greek manuscripts in the Tanak (Old Testament) and the oldest Greek manuscripts in the Brit Ha’dashah (New Testament) are the only sufficient, certain, and infallible rule of all Set Apart knowledge, belief, and obedience, although the light of the Divine and works of the creation and providence have so far made known the goodness, wisdom, and power of YAHUAH, yet aren’t they sufficient to give that knowledge of YAHUAH and His will which is necessary to receive salvation? Didn’t it please YAHUAH at various times and in many ways to reveal Himself, and to declare His will to His Assembly? And afterward for better preserving and spreading of the truth and for the surest establishment and comfort of the Assembly, against the corruption of the flesh, and the malice of ha’satan, and of the world to commit the same fully the Scriptures, to writing; which makes the Set Apart Scriptures to be most necessary, showing the ways of YAHUAH, revealing His will to His people. Therefore, the Set Apart Scripture will be the only rule that will set doctrine for the Philadelphia Assemblies. Our understanding will be evolving over time, as directed by RUACH HA’QODESH which is the WORD of YAHUAH!

ECCLESIASTES 12:13
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: fear Elohim and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
WHAT IS THE COMMONWEALTH OF ISRAEL?
EPHESIANS 2:11-16
(11) Then remember that you, the nations, were then in the flesh, those having been called the uncircumcision by those having been called the circumcision in the flesh made by hands. (12) That at that time you were without Ha’Mashiach, alienated from the Commonwealth of Yisra'el, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without Elohim in the world. (13) But now in Ha’Mashiach Yahusha, who then were afar off came to be near by the blood of Ha’Mashiach. (14) For He is our peace He is making us both one, and breaking down the middle wall of partition, (15) annulling in his flesh the enmity, and the Torah of commandments and decrees, that He might in Himself create the two into one new man, making peace, (16) and might reconcile both in one body to the Mighty One through the stake, slaying the enmity in Himself.

EZEKIEL 37:16-22
(16) Moreover, you ben of man, take you one stick, and write upon it, For Yahudah, and for the ben of Yisrael his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Yoseph, for the stick of Ephraim, and for all the family of Yisra'el his companions: (17) And join them one to another into one stick, and they will become one in your hand. (18) And when the ben of your people will speak unto you, saying, Will you not show us what you mean by these? (19) Say unto them, Thus says the Master YAHUAH, Behold, I will take the stick of Yoseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Yisrael his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Yahudah, and make them one stick, and they will be one in my hand. (20) And the sticks whereon you write will be in your hand before your eyes. (21) And say unto them, Thus says Master YAHUAH, Behold, I will take the ben of Yisrael from among the nations, where they have gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land: (22) And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Yisra'el, and one sovereign will be sovereign to them all: and they will be no more two nations, neither will they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all:
ROMANS 11
(1) I say then, Has YAHUAH cast away his people? May it never be. For I also am a Yisraelite, of the offspring of Abraham, of the tribe of Benyamin. (2) YAHUAH has not cast away his people which he foreknew. Don’t you know what the scripture says of Eliyahu? how he makes intercession to the Mighty One against Yisra'el, saying to (3) The Mighty One they have killed your prophets, and torn down your altars, and I am left alone, and they seek my life. (4) But what says the answer of the Divine One unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who haven’t bowed the knee to the image of Ba’al. (5) So then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of favor. (6) And if by favor, then is it no more of works: otherwise favor is no more favor. But if it be of works, then is it no more favor: otherwise work is no more work. (7) What then? Yisra'el has not obtained that which he looked for; but the election has obtained it, and the rest were blinded (8) (According as it is written, YAHUAH has given them the ruach of slumber, eyes that they shouldn’t see, and ears that they shouldn’t hear,) unto this day. (9) And Dawid says, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling block, and a reward unto them: (10) Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back always.
​
The Ingrafting of the Nations
​
(11) I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? May it never be: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the nations, for to provoke them to jealousy. (12) Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the loss of them the riches of the nations, how much more the fullness thereof? (13) For I speak to you nations, inasmuch as I'm the emissary of the nations, I magnify my ministry: (14) If by any means I may provoke them to emulation which are of my flesh, and might save some of them. (15) For if the rejection of them be the reconciling of the world, what will the receiving of them be, but life from the dead? (16) For if the firstfruit be set apart, the lump is also set apart: and if the root be set apart, so are the branches.
​
(17) And if some of the branches be broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them partakers of the root and richness of the olive tree, (18) Boast not against the branches. But if you boast, you support not the root, but the root supports you. (19) You will say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in. (20) Well, because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by faith. But, be not conceited, but feared: (21) For if YAHUAH spared not the natural branches, take care least he also spare not you. (22) Behold therefore the goodness and severity of Elohim: on them which fell, severity, but toward you, goodness, if you continue in His goodness: otherwise you also will be cut off. (23) And they also, if they stay not still in unbelief, will be grafted in: for YAHUAH is able to graff them in again. (24) For if you were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and were grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more will these, which be the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
​
All Israel Will Be Saved
​
(25) For I wouldn’t, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this hidden truth, least you should be wise in your own conceits, that blindness in part is happened to Yisra'el, until the fullness of the nations be come in. (26) And so all Yisra'el will be saved: as it is written, There will come out of Zion the Deliverer, and will turn away ungodliness from Ya’cob: (27) For this is my covenant unto them, when I will take away their sins. (28) As concerning the Besorah, they are enemies for your sakes, but from the standpoint of the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes. (29) For the gifts and calling of Elohim are without repentance. (30) For as you in times past haven’t believed the Mighty One, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief: (31) Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy. (32) For YAHUAH has shut up all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all. (33) O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of Elohim! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! (34) For who has known the mind of Elohim? or who has been his counselor? (35) Or who has first given to him, and it shall be repaid unto him again? (36) For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to who be glory forever. Amein.
