Awake to Israel was started by believers within the Christian Brethren Assemblies across Sydney with a special burden in meeting together to uphold, study and defend the literal interpretation of the scriptures from a Premillenial and Pretribulational position concerning God's sovereign plans and purposes for both Israel and the Church and related Bible Prophecy doctrines by facilitating gifted and respected Bible teachers to come and encourage us in these wonderful truths.  

 

We believe God's plan for History demands a consistent distinction between Israel and the Church which includes an ongoing plan for Israel based on His promises and unconditional covenants made with them.

It is our firm conviction the supreme focus of the scriptures is in the Glory of God, and the thoughts of God are upon the Glory of the Lord Jesus and the fulfilment of His unfailing word concerning both Israel and the Church which will culminate at His Glorious Appearing when the Lord Jesus sets up His Millennial Kingdom on earth and reigns from David's throne in Jerusalem.

 

Out of a desire and burden to uphold God's word and to bless Israel and the Jewish people in this age of Grace, a natural progression also developed in the ministry were we actively seek to be involved in and help facilitate evangelism and discipleship of Jewish people with the Gospel message here in Sydney, and to help support the believers and Assemblies in Israel in any way we can.  

 

It is our privilege to serve the Lord in this way and we pray that He will receive all Honour and Glory through this ministry, and that you too may be blessed as we endeavour to uphold the truths of His word and give it pre-eminence in all that we do and say while trusting Him for all our needs, with an ever present expectation of His soon return...even so, come, Lord Jesus.

 

We meet monthly at Epping Gospel Chapel on the second Saturday of the month between February & November at 2:30pm. Everyone who has a love for God's word and a heart for Israel and the Jewish people is welcome and encouraged to come and together search the scriptures. 

 

Thankyou for visiting our web site

 

We would also like to take this opportunity to acknowledge and remember our dear brother and friend Mr John Odell who is now with the Lord, who's vision, dedication  and love of God's word particularly concerning Israel and Bible prophecy was foundational to the establishment of Awake to Israel. 


 


          Statement of Faith of Epping Gospel Chapel

 

  • The Bible is God's word, inspired by the Holy Spirit, without error in the original manuscripts, accurately preserved for us in our english translations, and absolutely binding upon us in all matters of faith and conduct.
  • Matthew 24:35, John 17:17, 2Tim 3:16-17, 2Peter 1:19-21  

 

  • There is one God who exists eternally in the three equal persons of the Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
  • Matthew 28:19, John 10:30, 2Cor 3:18, 2Cor 13:14.  

   

  • Our Lord Jesus Christ is true God and true man, eternally the Son of God, conceived by the Holy Spirit, virgin born, and absolutely without sin.
  • Matthew1:18-25, John 1:1-2,16:28, 1Tim 2:5, Hebrews 4:15. 

  

  • All other human beings are sinners because we partake of the consequences of the Fall when Satan, an utterly evil personality, successfully tempted our first parents Adam and Eve; and because we actually do evil things. Therefore, unless the sinner comes to saving faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, he is bound for everlasting torment with Satan in Hell.
  • Matthew 25:46, Romans 3:23, 5:12, 6:23, 2Corinthians 4:4, 11:13-14, 1Timothy 2:13,14, Revalation 20:10-15.  

  

  • By virtue of Christ's death on the cross for the sin of the whole world and His resurrection from the dead, God forgives, reconciles to Himself and gives everlasting life to everyone who repents of their sin and exercises personal faith in Christ as Saviour and Lord.
  • John 3:16, Acts 20:21, Romans 5:8-10, 1Corinthians 15:1-4, Ephesians 2:8-9, 1John 2:1-2  

  

  • Christ lives in every Christian's life by the Holy Spirit from the moment they are born again into God's family, giving them "all power" to draw upon for daily life and godliness, and for effective Christian service, so that they need seek no experience in addition to this.
  • Matthew 28:18, John 1:13-14, 1Corinthians 6:19-20, 12:13, Ephesians 1:3, 3:17-19, Colossians 2:6,9,10. 

  

  • Our Lord Jesus Christ will return for all Christians alive or dead, Changing them into His likeness and preparing them to share eternity with Him; later He will return with all Christians to setup His one thousand year Kingdom prior to the establishment of the New Heavens and New Earth.
  • 1Corinthians 15:51-53, 1Thessalonians 4:14-17, Philippians 3:20-21, Revelation 19:11-16, 20:1-5, 21:1-4.
