The Laodicea Syndrome

A study of Revelation 3:14-22, the last of 7 letters from Yeshua to the 7 assemblies/congregations. This one to the congregation in Laodicea. Though we mostly stick to looking at the meaning of the letter to the congregation of that time, as we study it we can easily see the ramifications to our time. This sermon was given by Elder Allan Nemer during our Saturday Shabbat service on August 24, 2024.

Why is there a Leviticus?

More of a short commentary than a Torah reading, the speaker, Allan Nemer discusses one of the reasons why the Lord gave us not only Leviticus but the rest of the Torah and the Bible in general. Also excerpts from this weeks Torah Reading, Tzav, are included from Leviticus 6 and 7. The quote at the beginning of this podcast is from the book: The Old Testament Speaks: A Complete Survey of Old Testament History, author is Samuel J Schultz - 5th Edition (July 1999) published by Harper One. This commentary was delivered during our Saturday Shabbat Service on March 30, 2024.

Torah Reading: Aaron's Epic Failure

In this short Torah reading we read sections of Exodus 32 with some commentary before and afterward. Instead of focusing on the children of Israel during the Golden Calf incident we look at Aaron and his epic failure of leadership during this episode. After the reading we ask everyone to look at themselves and consider whether we as the people of God are doing the same thing as Aaron and the children of Israel. This Torah reading and commentary was given during our Saturday Shabbat Service by Allan Nemer on March 2, 2024.

My Servant Caleb

Caleb is one of the minor persons in the Scriptures. What can we learn from him? Actually, more than you think. Particularly in these end times. We ask the question: Will you be like Caleb, God's Servant? This sermon was given by Elder Allan Nemer during our Saturday Shabbat Service on September 23, 2023.

What Happened to the Fear of God?

We are seeing, in some ministries, an abundance of false prophecies as well as unbiblical manifestations based on new age and demonic practices. The list could go on and on. The speaker asks why is this happening? While he does not answer the question definitively, he believes one of the reasons is a lack of the Fear of God. He gives scriptures (the main topic of this sermon) about what the Bible says about the Fear of God. This sermon was given during our Saturday Shabbat service on July 8, 2023 by elder Allan L Nemer.

Famine of Hearing the Words of God

A quick study of the Book of Amos. In this message we examine what the phrase, famine of hearing the words of the Lord, in Amos 8:11 means, who Amos was, what led to this situation and the consequences of it. You will see that this easily can fit into our current situation.  This sermon was given by Allan Nemer during our Saturday Shabbat Service on February 11, 2023.

Torah Reading: Passing the Test

Joseph and his brothers passed the test. What test did they pass? What did they overcome to pass the test? This short commentary and Torah Reading on Genesis 44:18-34 was done by Allan Nemer during our Saturday Shabbat Service on December 31, 2022.

God Gave Them Over

What is it like when God brings judgment on a nation? It's like Romans 1:16-32. God gives us over to our sins. What does that mean? If you are wondering why we are seeing an explosion of crazy and insane decisions, let alone more suffering this is a good sermon to listen to. This short sermon gives a synopsis of what occurs. This sermon was given by Elder Allan L Nemer during our Saturday Shabbat Service on November 19, 2022

Torah Commentary - Grumbling

Short reading and commentary from sections of Numbers 11. The nation of Israel and the mixed multitude in their midst, started to grumble and complain about their situation. Resulting in the Lord's anger and His discipline. Do we do the same in the midst of all of the situations that are going on in this world at the moment? This reading and commentary was given by Allan Nemer during our Saturday Shabbat Service on June 18, 2022.

Torah Reading: Ten Commandments

A reading and short commentary on the Ten Commandments. Basically, it is in the Bible and that includes the Torah and the Law that we get to know what kind of God is in our Midst. This torah reading was done by Allan Nemer during our Saturday Shabbat Service on January 22, 2022.

Torah Reading: Introducing Moses

The Torah Reading (Sh'mot) is from Exodus 1:1 to 6:1. We are introduced to Moses (Moshe), his birth, his life and forced departure from Egypt, his new life in Midian and his calling to go back to Egypt. A person might think that Moses eagerly embraced his calling. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth. When Moses was confronted by a Holy God, unlike his past in Egypt, now he is unsure of himself and recognizes his sinful life. Even asking God to choose someone else. When you examine ALL of scripture you will see that is a common occurrence.  Note: early on a reference is made, recommending people to view a teaching series by R.C. Sproul. The teaching is on the Holiness of God, (highly recommended). Link: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL30acyfm60fVpGc7Eo--3S6w1kdhXY9Cb

HafTorah Reading: Unacceptable Sacrifices

In the Book of the prophet Malachi (1:6 to 2:9) we read where the Lord tells the priests of the temple and the people of Israel in general that their sacrifices were unacceptable and disrespectful. Think what a shock that must have been to them. They thought that what they were doing was acceptable to the Lord. Yet the Lord told them their offerings were inferior and showed a lack of respect for Him.
That brings up an important question for our days. Do we think our offerings (worship) are acceptable to God yet in God's eyes are in fact not acceptable at all? Thank the Lord for His mercy and grace, yet we still need to realize that He and His Word (Bible) is the only standard to judge on this subject. Something to think about.
This HafTorah reading and commentary was given by Elder Allan Nemer during our Saturday Shabbat Service on November 6, 2021.
