Seed of Abraham Messianic Congregation

Choose This Day Whom You Will Serve

Moses and Joshua warned the children of Israel about not imitating the countries they were about to conquer. Instead they were supposed to obey God's Word as well as reject the paganism and false unbiblical religions and beliefs that those countries were steeped in. Likewise, the Body Of Messiah is called by the Lord and His word to be in the world but not of it. With the world rapidly deteriorating into paganism, now more than ever we need to remember Joshua's call: "Choose This Day Whom You Will Serve". Please note the choices referred to is the choice of (with the Lord's help) following the Bible so we can make the correct moral decisions in our everyday lives that honor the Lord. This sermon was given by Elder Allan L Nemer during our Saturday Shabbat Service on December 14, 2019. Another Elder, Tim Hieb makes some closing comments after the sermon.

Jacob Wept

Short Torah Commentary from Genesis 29:11. Jacob meets Rachel for the first time, he raises his voice and wept aloud. WHY? The possible answer is based on Jacob's personality. Also how can we draw a parallel to our life? The answer is important. This message was given during our Saturday Shabbat Service on December 7, 2019 by John Anderson a Messianic Jewish Studies student at Kings University.

Acts of the Emissaries Chapter 10 pt 2: No Longer Unclean

Continuing through the Book of Acts Chapter 10, Part 2. We look into the lives and struggles of the Jewish disciples of Yeshua (Jesus) as they deal with the FACT of a new move of God: Those people of the nations outside of Israel who accept Yeshua as the Messiah should no longer be considered unclean. In fact they are now part of the Body of Messiah.
Sound note: Though we turned the sound up during recording and editing, please note Rabbi Frank had a sinus cold as he was giving this sermon so his voice is somewhat subdued.

Acts of the Emissaries chapter 10: A Brand New Outreach

Continuing through the Book of Acts, Messianic Rabbi Frank Davis talks about the beginning of the outreach to the nations. Although taken for granted now, it would likely have been seriously resisted by most Jewish followers of Yeshua at that time. Hence the vision of God to Peter. This sermon was given during our Saturday Shabbat Service on November 16, 2019.

Acts of the Emissaries Chapter 9 pt6-Ministry of Peter

Finishing up on chapter 9 we examine the ministry of Kefa (Peter). Here we see him, through the power of the Lord, healing Aeneas and raising Tavita (Tabitha, Dorcas) from the dead. This teaching is as much an examination of Kefa's character as it is about his ministry opportunities. 
We end the sermon with an in depth look at Acts 9:43. Here Kefa stays for some time with a tanner named Shimon. Most people would ignore that statement but Rabbi Frank gives an in-depth look at what a tanner is in Yeshua's time and how Israeli society and religious beliefs of that time viewed a tanner (unclean). The result of the examination again highlights the depth of how much the Lord transformed Kefa's (Peter's) life and how willing he was to associate with undesirable people.

The Fear of God

The Fear of God/Fear of the Lord is one of the more important topics in scripture. Depending on who is doing the counting, there are between 150 and 400 references to the topic in one form or another in scripture. Yet this topic is becoming increasingly ignored in many congregations. This teaching by Elder Allan Nemer moves through several of the scriptures to help you start to learn what it means and how it will affect everything we do in life. 
Some of the ideas and concepts in this study came from a book by Jerry Bridges (now with the Lord) from the Navigators, a discipleship ministry. It is a book this speaker recommends. Book Link: The Joy of Fearing God by Jerry Bridges
This message was given by Elder Allan Nemer during our Saturday Shabbat Service on October 12, 2019

Acts of the Emissaries Chapter 9 Part 4: The Bat Kol

Continuing through the Book of Acts - chapter 9. We continue discussing not only Paul's seeing the Lord in a vision resulting in his salvation and transformation. but the other times Paul testified about the vision. We also discuss Yeshua's Bat Kol (pronounced Baht Kohl - the audible voice of the Lord) times when the audible voice of the Lord was heard. This is a rare circumstance that can only be done at the Lord's will and timing, not by man, it will glorify the Lord not man, and will always line up with scripture. Even today, a few unsaved Jews and Arabs have received a Bat Kol, resulting in their immediate salvation and transformation.

Acts of the Emissaries Chapter 9 Part 3: Shaul's Testimony

Continuing through the Book of Acts, Chapter 9, we examine what happened to Shaul (Paul) on the road to Damascus. Not only will we look at chapter 9 but two other sections of the Book of Acts where Shaul gives his testimony to other people. Combining all three gives us a complete view of what happened. This message was given by Messianic Rabbi Frank Davis during our Saturday Shabbat Service on September 21, 2019.

Count the Cost and Finish the Race

Continuing the message given on August 18: "What is Repentance", elder Allan Nemer extends the message into the rest of our lives. Repentance is a lifelong process which means, according to scripture: Count the cost, pick up your execution stake (cross), and run the race to *finish*. Thereby receiving your reward when you stand in His presence in Heaven. In light of important events of the last several weeks in the body of Messiah, these concepts become even more important. This sermon was given during our Saturday Shabbat Service on September 14, 2019.

Acts of the Emissaries Chapter 9 Part 2: The Unbridled Zeal of Paul

Continuing through the Book of Acts, Chapter 9. This message has a bit of review from the last message. What is new is Shaul's (Paul) stunning transformation. It amazes everyone, including the disciples and emissaries (apostles). Add on to that Paul's relentless witnessing and it results in multiple plots to kill Shaul in both Damascus and Jerusalem. Note: Rabbi Frank Davis is reading from the Complete Jewish Bible by David Stern. This sermon was given during our Saturday Shabbat Service on September 7, 2019.

Exile: There is No Place Like Home

Acts of the Emissaries Chapter 9 Pt 1: Transformation of Sha'ul

Continuing through the Book of Acts, Chapter 9. Starting with the end of Chapter 8, we are introduced to a new person, Sha'ul (Paul, His Roman Name). Sha'ul was a super-zealot, very knowledgeable on Scripture. He, along with others in leadership, initiated a large-scale persecution of the followers of Yeshua. Until Sha'ul had an encounter with Yeshua on the road to Damascus. Then his life was radically changed. This message was given during our Saturday Shabbat Service on August 24, 2019.

What is Repentance?

What is repentance? What does it mean for our lives and our eternal souls/destiny? The speaker, Elder Allan Nemer, was convicted by the Lord a few years ago about having wrong and unscriptural beliefs and worldviews. He has spent the last few years making major changes to his beliefs and views to make sure they conform to scripture. This sermon is therefore deeply personal to him having lived through a long period of repentance and prays that it is also instructional for others in the body of Messiah. This message was given during our Saturday Shabbat Service on August 17, 2019.
Two short YouTube video clips are mentioned in the beginning of this sermon. The teacher is theologian Sinclair Ferguson.
They are:
1 - A  Strong Foundation by Sinclair Ferguson (2:16)
2 - What is the best way to describe repentance to an unbeliever by Sinclair Ferguson (1:23) turn up the sound on this one
