What We Believe
Ruach School of Ministry's core beliefs are deeply rooted in the understanding that a personal relationship with God, through Jesus Christ, is the foundation of a fulfilling and transformative spiritual life. At the heart of our teachings is the belief in the power of the Holy Spirit, often referred to as Ruach, which means breath or spirit in Hebrew. We emphasize the importance of living according to God's Word, through the guidance of Scripture and the empowerment of the Holy Spirit, to equip believers for effective ministry and personal growth. This belief underscores our commitment to helping individuals deepen their faith, experience God's transformative power, and actively engage in His mission on earth. We teach that through prayer, worship, and a commitment to spiritual discipline, believers can grow in their understanding of God's will and purpose for their lives.
Furthermore, Ruach School of Ministry places a strong emphasis on the relational aspect of Christianity, encouraging students to cultivate intimate and ongoing communication with God through prayer and worship. Our core beliefs highlight the need for believers to develop a genuine spiritual walk, moving beyond rituals to a personal connection with God. This relationship, fueled by gratitude, faith, and obedience, is central to our mission of equipping leaders who not only know the Word but live it out with integrity, compassion, and purpose. We emphasize that ministry is not just about outward actions but about embodying God's love and truth in every aspect of life, with the Holy Spirit acting as the guide and strength to navigate the challenges of Christian life and service. Through these core beliefs, Ruach School of Ministry seeks to raise up disciples who are spiritually grounded, relationally connected, and fully empowered for the work of the Kingdom.

The Power of Forgiveness
From a biblical perspective, forgiveness is a powerful and essential aspect of the Christian faith, rooted in the example of Jesus Christ. The Bible teaches that God has forgiven believers for their sins through the sacrificial death of Jesus on the cross (Ephesians 4:32), and as recipients of this immense grace, Christians are called to forgive others. Jesus emphasizes the importance of forgiveness in His teachings, saying, forgive, and you will be forgiven (Luke 6:37), and He encourages believers to forgive seventy-seven times (Matthew 18:22), meaning forgiveness should be limitless. Forgiveness not only restores relationships with others but also frees the believer from bitterness, anger, and resentment, fostering peace and reconciliation. In forgiving others, Christians reflect the love and mercy of God, and through this act of grace, they experience the power of healing and spiritual freedom, as forgiveness releases both the forgiver and the forgiven from the burden of sin.
The Role of Music in Worship
In the Bible, music holds a significant role in Christian worship, serving as a powerful means to praise, glorify, and connect with God. Psalms frequently encourages believers to sing to the Lord a new song (Psalm 96:1) and make a joyful noise (Psalm 100:1), emphasizing the importance of expressing joy and reverence through music. In the New Testament, music also serves to edify the body of Christ, as seen in Colossians 3:16, where believers are instructed to sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to encourage one another. Through music, worshipers not only honor God but also cultivate gratitude, unity, and spiritual growth within the Christian community, allowing God presence to be experienced in a profound way.
The Importance of Gratitude
As Christians, showing gratitude is deeply significant because it acknowledges God's sovereignty, goodness, and the blessings He provides in our lives. The Bible repeatedly calls believers to express thankfulness, recognizing that every good gift comes from God (James 1:17). Gratitude is an act of humility, as it reflects an understanding that we are dependent on God's grace and mercy. In 1 Thessalonians 5:18, Christians are urged to give thanks in all circumstances, which encourages a heart of contentment and trust in God's plan, regardless of life's challenges. Gratitude strengthens our relationship with God, fosters a spirit of worship, and deepens our faith as we recognize His faithfulness. Moreover, a grateful heart enables believers to reflect God's love and mercy to others, encouraging a life of service and kindness. Ultimately, showing gratitude as a Christian is not only an expression of thanks but a way to honor God and live in alignment with His will.
