Led by Bill Cloud, Jacobs Tent is a collection of people from various spiritual backgrounds, but all of whom believe the entire Bible – from Genesis to Revelation – is for all of God’s people. This app is packed with Biblical content rooted in the Torah, as well as many resources to help our community of believers stay connected with what the Father is doing through Jacob's Tent in Cleveland, TN. With this app you can: - Listen to Past Services - Watch Live - Read articles and blogs - Sign up for Events - Listen to Podcasts - Stay up to date with push notifications - Download messages for offline listening - Much More! Our congregation honors the Sabbath, we observe the Biblical feasts (moedim) and we eat Biblically clean. Most importantly, we believe that Yeshua (Jesus) is the Messiah of Israel and Savior of the world. As His disciples (talmidim), we believe that the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is the One, True God and that He is calling His people to return to Him and to His ways. That is why we meet on Shabbat to praise, sing, dance, study and fellowship. While we love to utilize Hebrew prayers, songs and customs in our worship experience, we don’t consider ourselves to be exclusively Messianic or Hebrew Roots. We want all members of the Body to feel welcome, inspired, as well as challenged in our services. Our desire is to cultivate an environment that invites the Presence of the Almighty to abide with us and empower us to walk upright before Him and in unity with each other. It is in the spirit of “loving God” and “loving our fellow man” that we have established Jacob’s Tent. We hope that you can join us soon! Mobile app version: 6.19.3
