Remnant of Israel Shabbat Messages

After having four members of the congregation read the four chapters of the Book of Ruth, Philip Snell delivers a short message on Shavuot (Pentecost), one of the three major holidays where all the people of Israel were commanded to go to the temple in Jerusalem.

Today is the 49th day of the Omer (the day before Shavuot/Pentecost), and Brian Fritz gives us today's Torah message, based on Yeshua healing the ten lepers (Luke 17:11-19, TLV). Brian also explains how biblical leprosy was not the same thing as a modern medical diagnosis of leprosy.

Today we are happy to once again have guest speakers Rabbi Jerry Miller and his wife Jo from Kingdom Living in Kansas City. Rabbi Jerry speaks on "Jerusalem and Salvation", and gives 10 key points of salvation that have happened or will happen in Jerusalem. Jo Miller also speaks, and has a prophetic word for us.

In his message today, Philip Snell reviews most of the times in the Bible when fasting is mentioned, and gives the context and goals of these fastings. Then Philip invites Zac Williams to talk about his experiences with fasting, and extended fasts. Finally, Philip and Zac invite everyone present to share their experiences with fasting. (The audio was sometimes given extra amplification in order to help hear the audience members who did not have a microphone. We apologize for the occasional poor sound quality.)

In his message of May 06, 2023 (delayed posting from last week), Philip Snell tells us about the "Isaiah 62" 21-day fast for Israel, May 7–28, 2023, organized by the International House of Prayer (IHOP) of Kansas City (https://www.ihopkc.org/isaiah62-kc-hub/) and talks about fasting in general. .

In his message today, Philip Snell returns to his series on The Gifts of The Spirit. This message continues on from Joe George's talk of two weeks ago. Philip first defines what fear of The Lord is, and then goes on to talk about other characteristics of it, such as why it inspires confidence.

Today we welcome the first appearance of Modesto Castellano as a teacher, giving the midrash, or teaching on today's Torah portion (Leviticus 6:12-7:38).

We are very pleased to have Joe George with us, and his teaching today is on the gifts of The Holy Spirit.

Today we are glad to have Joe George with us, and he tells us "A True Story", examining an allegorical story about a king, his ambassador and a co-worker, a villain who is against the king, and a hero who is for the king. Joe describes how the king had set up everything right, until the villain convinced the ambassador and his co-worker to do wrong and they were expelled from the kingdom. Then a hero arises to set everything right again.

To help us prepare for Passover, Philip Snell, in his message today, and with the help of a number of scripture readers, retells the story of Yeshua's Passover sacrifice. Also assisting Philip are April, with a special dance from the dance team, and Jonathon and Laura performing the song "God Rested".

Today Philip Snell concludes his three-part series on speaking in tongues. In this teaching, he discusses six major points regarding speaking in tongues.

Today guest speaker Ben Juster updates us on Tikkun America, and talks about our identity in Messiah. Posting delayed from 2023-Mar-11. 

Today Philip Snell interrupts his series on the gifts of the Spirit to talk about Purim, and about how God is always protecting us, even if he is unseen. 

Today, Philip Snell continues his series on the gifts of The Spirit, starting a new section on speaking in tongues. Philip points out that although it is a controversial subject and there are many viewpoints on it, speaking in tongues was created by God, and it is His gift to His Church, so we should not reject it out of hand. Included are two testimonies from congregants. 

Philip Snell continues with part 3 of his series on receiving and operating in the gift of prophecy. 

Philip Snell continues with part 2 of his series on receiving and operating in the gift of prophecy. Posting of part 2 was delayed from February 04, 2023. Part 1 was on Jan 14, 2023. 

Today Jonathan Hopkins delivers a midrash (commentary on today's torah portion) giving examples from when he was a kid using a Commodore 64, as an adult assembling a new dresser, and going back to the Torah portion, Aaron's two sons Abihu and Nadab destroyed by heavenly fire in Leviticus 10. 

Today we again welcome guest speakers Rabbi Jerry and Jo Miller, this is their third visit to Remnant. Rabbi Jerry teaches on the importance of Joy, and lists four points that show how an attitude of joy improves our thinking. Jo Miller brings us a prophetic word. 

Today Philip Snell continues his series on the Holy Spirit and the gifts of The Spirit, including prophecy. He begins with the definition of prophecy and goes on to talk about the two types of prophecy, and the three purposes of prophecy. Included is a great story from the life of Charles Spurgeon. He concludes with the dangers of confirmation bias. 

Today Philip Snell interrupts his series on the gifts of The Spirit to deliver a message, delayed from the Hanukkah and New Year season, on "Oaths and Vows". The Bible shows us that because of the greatness of God, we should be careful about making oaths or vows, since we as humans are so limited compared to God. 

Today we are pleased to have guest speakers Dr. Stephen and Pamela Guise. Stephen tells some amusing stories of his early life as an "Episco-pagan", and later becoming a Satanist, and finally an "Evangelical Atheist", before he was saved by arguing with a Christian man for hours. Pamela shares some prophetic words, and finally Amber Williams also shares some prophetic words. 

In his message today, Brian Fritz talks about the meaning of the Feast of Dedication (Chanukkah) as applied to the Old Testament (Tanach), as applied to the New Testament (Brit Chadasha), and as applied to prophesied events yet to come. 

Philip Snell continues his series on the gifts of the Ruach (Holy Spirit), urging us today to fervently desire the gifts of The Spirit, so that God might give them to us as He so chooses. 

Philip Snell continues his series on the gifts of the Ruach (Holy Spirit), today discussing the question of whether miraculous gifts still occur in the present day, or whether they stopped altogether in centuries past when the original apostles died. 

Today Philip Snell teaches (mostly from 1 Corinthians 13, the "weddings chapter") on why the gifts of the Ruach (Holy Spirit) must be used in agape love, lest they be useless or worse. Philip shows that 1 Corinthians 13 goes way past just weddings. 

Today Philip Snell delivers his message on grace, and why gratitude is important. Philip shows that if we understand our redeemed position in the grace of Yeshua, gratitude comes naturally. 

Philip Snell continues his discussion of deacons (shammash, servant-leaders), based on 1 Timothy 3 and the qualifications for deacons listed there. We apologize for a 2 or 3 minute gap in today's recording due to technical difficulties. The 2 or 3 minute gap has been replaced with 2 or 3 seconds of pink noise for easy recognition. 

For his message today, Philip Snell was inspired by the book Deacons: How They Serve and Strengthen the Church by Matt Smethurst. In Messianic Judaism, instead of deacon, we usually say shamash (servant or servant-leader).  Philip talks about how shamashim are chosen, what is expected of them, and also some examples of what happened when the need for shamashim first occurred in the early days of the Church. 

Today's message (delayed from October 22, 2022) is given by Jerry and Jo Miller, visiting us once again from Kingdom Living of Lenexa, Kansas. Jerry talks about the importance of grace in our lives, and gives examples such as a confrontation years after WW2 between Corrie Ten Boom (an Auschwitz survivor) and a man who was a brutal guard at Auschwitz. 

Philip Snell talks about why the feast of Sukkot is a holiday of rejoicing, and about what Solomon meant when he said "...all is vanity...", and about where Yeshua (Jesus) was when he said "All those who are thirsty, let them come to me." 

On this sabbath between Yom Teruah and Yom Kippur,  Jonathan Hopkins delivers a message on the subject of teshuvah (return). This is a timely message because the general theme of the high holy days is repentance and returning to God. 

Special guests Rabbi Jerry Miller and his wife Jo, are with us today from the Tikkun organization. Rabbi Jerry delivers today's message on the greatness of God's forgiveness, and Jo has a prophetic word for the congregation. 

Delayed from Saturday, September 17, 2022, Philip Snell continues with the 'New Members' series of the last few weeks. Today's message is timely as we approach the holy days of repentance and reconciliation. (On a technical note, there are two 15-second gaps in today's message, at about 30 minutes and again at about 57 minutes, where the message was overwritten with white noise due to technical difficulties. Please accept our apologies. )

Delayed from Saturday, September 10, 2022, Philip Snell continues with the 'New Members' series of the last few weeks. Today's message is, "The Ruach (Holy Spirit) - Every Member A Shamash (Servant). The vision here is that every member of the congregation is gifted to serve in some capacity, as described in the 'different parts of the body' chapter of 1 Corinthians 12:12-32. 

Today Brian Fritz delivers the Torah service message based on today's Torah portion, starting with baby Moses in Egypt, which we join already in progress due to technical difficulties. 

Joe George concludes his six-part series on foundational theological principles with a double presentation: part five, the meaning and purpose of the Cross, and part six, the factual basis for believing in the resurrection. 

Instead of the usual message, today we present the audio of the entire service (with minor deletions for brevity). Today's Sabbath service is special, not only because it is a Torah service, but also because it is a Bat Mitzvah service for the George family (Tsuriya).

Joe George continues the (anticipated) five-part series with Part 4, in which he discusses the reasons that Yeshua came to Earth, and what He accomplished while He was here. 

Today Joe George continues with part three of a series on our core beliefs and principles. Part one was on truth and logic, but without any reference to Scripture. Part two (by Philip Snell) was on God and Scripture. In today's message, Joe explains how mankind spoiled God's perfect creation, and why, if God is good, does he allow evil?

Philip Snell continues his new series on the gifts of the Spirit, based on 1 Corinthians 12 (and later 13 and 14). Today he talks about how our core beliefs affect our view of Scripture. 

Joe George begins a five-part series on Theology and Apologetics, today laying the groundwork for how we can prove, using principles of logic, such things as the existence of God, and the supernatural origin of scripture. This is also excellent background for Christian Apologetics, because it allows disciples to offer proof of their beliefs to others. 

In his message today, Philip Snell discusses the importance of the local congregation, and more specifically membership within the local community. Philip lists five functions that the local congregation performs. 

Instead of the usual message, today we present the audio of the entire service (with minor deletions for brevity). Today's Sabbath service is special, not only because it is a Torah service, but also because it is a Bar/Bat Mitzvah service for the Williams family (Zeke and Naomi). 

In his message today, Philip Snell begins a new series on the gifts of the Spirit, based on 1 Corinthians 12 (and later 13 and 14). 

Philip Snell and others continue their reports from the 2022 Tikkun Conference. Philip gives a short talk on the importance of avoiding gossip. 

Instead of a regular message, today several returnees from the 2022 Tikkun Conference in Baltimore Maryland give their testimonies.

Today, on the day of her Bat Mitzvah, Aline Snell delivers the Torah Message. Her father Philip introduces her. 

Today, Philip Snell returns to his series of messages based on the book The Other Half of Church. He uses the analogy of a campfire to compare to our innate desire to belong to a group, or multiple groups. He teaches that we must not be swayed by the beliefs of other groups, but instead keep following what the Messiah would have us do. 

In today's message (delayed from 05/14/22), Zac Williams starts with the Torah portion (Genesis 32:3-33 to 33:17) and goes on to consider some of the miracles recorded in the Bible, and shows that sometimes the blessings that God wants to pour out are limited, not because of sin, and not because of God's will, but rather by our own capacity to receive or contain them. 

In his message today, Brian Fritz uses today's Torah portion (Genesis 32:4 to Gen 33:4, the story of Jacob meeting Esau), as a way to show that although families sometimes have "crazy" problems, God is able to overcome them. 

In his message today, Philip Snell returns to his series of talks based on the book The Other Half of Church. Philip looks at the book of Exodus and the story of Moses leading the people of Israel out of Egypt, to develop a list of 16 characteristics that the people of Israel (or the people of God) should have. 

In his message today, Zac Williams lists seven main points to follow in letting God be God in our daily lives and prayers. 

In his message this evening, Joe George teaches that the resurrected Yeshua is the true first fruits offering to God, and that His resurrection is an actual physical reality, the most important event since the creation, and not merely a symbol or a saying. 

In his message today for the Feast of Unleavened Bread, Zac Williams teaches about Yeshua's time between His death and resurrection, and also about how God shows mercy on us, even when we are experiencing hard times. 

Joe George leads an apologetics seminar, and shows several ways to respond to someone's statements concerning the Gospel. Included is an amusing reference to TV detective "Columbo". 

Zac Williams uses today's Torah portion (esp. Genesis 28:10-15, Jacob's Dream/Jacob's Ladder) as a starting point to tie together: the layout of the twelve tribes in Numbers 2, Ezekiel's vision of four creatures (Ezekiel 1), the four living creatures in Revelation 4-6, and the four gates of the New Jerusalem (Revelation 21). 

Philip Snell continues his series of messages based on the book The Other Half of Church. Today he teaches that God uses group identity as a part of transforming our character into the image of Messiah Yeshua, and that we can understand group identity both in scripture and in our people. 

Philip Snell continues his series of talks, reminding us that in order to carry out the Great Commission and witness to others, our two most important requirements are chesed (grace) and simcha (joy). 

In his message today, Philip Snell resumes his series based on the book "The Other Half of Church". As disciple-makers, we are required to form character, not just knowledge; and we must make ourselves good examples for others, because we teach not just by what we say, but by what we do. 

Today, instead of a usual message, Philip Snell and Zac Williams lead a Q&A panel discussion on the Russian/Ukraine war. Questions include, 'What is the difference between a just and an unjust war?', 'Who should we pray for in this war?', and 'Where is God during times of war?'

Zac Williams talks about how God is bringing His body of believers together as one. He uses as an example a YouTube video, "spontaneous synchronization", which shows how five mechanical metronomes all attached firmly to one base which is allowed to move back and forth, will fairly quickly become synchronized in their motion. 

Today there is no usual message, instead is the second half of today's service, after the liturgy and Torah service. Zac Williams gives the Torah service message, Philip Snell leads a time of praise and testimony. 

Today, Philip Snell talks about the Hebrew words simcha (joy) and chesed (grace) along with their root words and meanings. He compares simcha to "fuel" and chesed to "glue". 

Joe George talks about the fear of The Lord, and how it relates to true morality vs. moral relativism. Joe shows that if there is no God, then there is no true or fixed morality and moral law is just whatever we say it is. Included is a funny story about the the relative rightness or wrongness of putting Nutella (a peanut-butter-like snack) on pasta. 

Philip Snell continues his series on joy. Today he talks about joy being the emotional fuel in our tanks that enables us to live our lives with some degree of happiness; and how face time with others is one of the major sources of joy. 

In his message today, Zac Williams starts from Genesis 18 (today's Torah portion) to talk about Abraham and Sarah's reaction to the three visitors, and how we should be ready in our lives today to do whatever it is that God calls us to do. 

In his message today, Philip Snell gives us the second in his series of messages on the importance of the right-brain in living and character formation, and talks about finding joy in life. 

In his message today, Philip Snell begins a new multi-week series suggested by the book "The Other Half of Church: Christian Community, Brain Science, and Overcoming Spiritual Stagnation" by Jim Wilder and Michel Hendricks. Covered today is the difference between the right and left halves of the brain and how they work together to give us our character and personality. 

Last week many Remnant of Israel congregants went to Kansas City to see the traveling museum exhibit from Auschwitz itself. Today, instead of a traditional message, elder Joe George and several congregants read from the Book of Lamentations, and give their thoughts on what they saw and how it affected them. 

In his message today from today's torah portion, Philip Snell talks about the mysterious Melchizedek and his interactions with Abram, and explains the concept of Christophany. 

Today, Joe George talks about Hanukkah In a message that complements the message that Zac Williams gave last week, especially regarding Psalm 82. Joe points out that Yeshua (Jesus) celebrated Hanukkah, and talks about what Yeshua did on Hanukkah from John 10:22. 

In this message, delayed from Nov. 27, 2021, Zac Williams talks about the origins of Hanukkah, and why we still celebrate it today. But this discussion is from an adult point of view, not the sanitized cheerful version usually given in grade school level Shabbat classes. 

Zac Williams talks about times when we must wait until God gives us new information. He uses Noah as an example, pointing out that God only spoke to Noah three times. During the 100 years it took to build the ark, Noah had to carry on until he heard from God again. 

Messianic elder Philip Snell delivers a brief message about the origins of Psalm 34 (in 1 Samuel), followed by the Remnant praise and worship team performing "Taste and See".

Zac Williams talks about three major scriptural figures, and the only place in the Bible where they are mentioned all together, Ezekiel 14. Also, Lisa Snell gives a brief introduction about God hearing prayers and answering them. 

In his message today, Philip Snell talks about the Book of Job (Job 1:1 - Job 2:10). God allowed Satan to harm Job because God had a higher purpose in mind. He was using Job as an example to teach us, and to rebuke Satan. 

In Remnant's first message since Rabbi John passed away last Sunday, messianic elder Zach Williams talks about the beatitudes (blessings) from The Sermon on the Mount (from Matthew 5:3-10), and shows how each one builds on the previous one, hopefully describing our progress as we walk daily with Yeshua. 

With the conclusion of the Fall Feasts, and with a long time to wait until the return of the Spring Feasts, messianic elder Philip Snell gives us a teaching on how to wait, and shows us that we still have a job to do.

In his message today, Messianic Elder Philip Snell gives what he calls "Yom Kippur 101", a brief introduction to the meaning and traditions of Yom Kippur, and an explanation of what Messianics should know about it, and also about Shabbat Shuvah, "The Sabbath of Return". 

The Feast of Trumpets is one of the seven moedim (God's appointed times). In his message today, Elder Philip Snell talks about the origins of Yom Teruah, and why it should be important to everyone today. Especially since it points to the return of Yeshua (Jesus)!

In his message today, in preparation for the Fall feast days, messianic elder Philip Snell talks about t'shuvah (repentance), and explains the four major points required of us to achieve it. 

In today's message, Messianic elder Philip Snell starts with the pop culture saying 'You Be You', and shows us how it is better to let Messiah live through us so that instead of us being us, we be more like The Messiah. What he means by this is: you might want to look at yourself first, then at the people around you, and at God last, but what you should do is reverse that order, to look at God first, the people around you next, and look at yourself last.

Zach Williams delivers today's message entitled "Blessings and Curses". Based on today's Torah portion (Deuteronomy 26:1-29:9) Zach talks about the blessings and curses listed there, and how they relate to current events. 

Remnant is honored today to have Messianic rabbi and author Dr. Daniel Juster and his wife Patricia as guest speakers.

In his message today, Rabbi John talks about how we should be preparing for troubles which will come as the end times approach, and how we should be following Yeshua's (Jesus') final command to go and make disciples, and not worrying about the rest.

He also shows a fascinating correspondence or similarity between the first group and the second group of the ten commandments. 

Messianic Rabbi John Powledge continues his series on "The Just Society" with a discussion of what justice is. Is justice merely vengeance, or is it something more?

Sam also mentions God's instructions to Gideon in Judges 6:14-16. 

Messianic Rabbi John Powledge continues his series on "The Just Society". Among the subjects in his message this week, Rabbi John talks about Leviticus 19, "The Holiness Code", and shows that without holiness, justice in a society is impossible to achieve.

Today Rabbi John Resumes his series on "The Just Society" with Chapter Three: The First Communities of Yeshua. Rabbi John teaches about the apostles walking in the power of God as they began to preach the good news of Yeshua. 

Rabbi John postpones his series on "The Just Society" this week to celebrate Purim. He explains how the Book of Esther and its story of a famous attempt to destroy the Jewish people is repeated again and again throughout history, from Biblical times until very recent times. 

Messianic Rabbi John Powledge continues his series on The Just Society, but with a side trip. A mikvah (baptism) scheduled for today caused Rabbi John to write about immersion as cleansing. Included in his teaching is the story of Elisha the prophet and Naaman, a high-ranking warrior with leprosy, from 2 Kings 5. 

Messianic Elder Joe George gives the reading and message for today's Torah Service, which is from Numbers 29:12.

With the completion of the US election of 2020, and the inauguration of 2021, there has been much talk in recent months about social justice and human ideas of how to make a society more just; but what are God's ideas on this subject? Messianic Rabbi John Powledge begins a multi-part series on "The Just Society". Rabbi John also comforts his listeners that things get better from here, as next week we go on to describe features of societies that are closer to God's plan and purpose. Also two testimonies about abortion are heard at the end. 

Since there was no traditional message this week, instead we offer some selected portions of Remnant's January 16, 2021 Sabbath Service and Torah Service. If you have never attended a service at Remnant, these are some things that you might hear. The Sabbath Service and Torah Service is conducted by Messianic Elder Philip Snell, with the Torah reading given by Messianic Elder Joe George. The Torah portion is from Numbers 22, and includes the story of Baalam and his talking donkey, which Joe tells in an amusing and informative way. Messianic Rabbi John Powledge gives the blessing over the children. 

In his message this week, Rabbi John acknowledges the turmoil in the country following the election of 2020, but he also reminds us of the story of Esther, where God called Esther to risk her life to save her people. Rabbi John points out that God has called each of us to some task that God wants us to carry out, and says that it is no accident that we are here because God has brought us here for just such a time as this. 

Messianic Rabbi John Powledge tells us how Joseph of Egypt succeeded in the task that God set before him, and how this is relevant to us today. Rabbi John explains that Joseph of Egypt: 1) believed that God had given him, and would continue to give him, knowledge of what would happen in the future; 2) Had faith that God would fulfill his promises; and 3) Kept God's moral laws so that he was not distracted from his mission. 

In an unconventional end-of-year message, Messianic Elder Philip Snell talks about the negative (and also the positive) events of 2020, and shows how God is directing the flow of events. Many Remnant members come forward to offer their thoughts on the title subject. 

This week's message is not a message in the usual way, but is a portion of Remnant's Saturday Sabbath Service, which on this day is a Torah Service, and also is the Bat Mitzvah b'Yeshua of Reagan George. She gives the Torah reading for the Torah Service, and is immersed in the mikvah (baptized). Also, the Snells ask for prayers for their neighbor, Vera. 

Messianic Rabbi John Powledge talks about the original Chanukkah, and how this current Chanukkah (in December 2020) is similar in many ways to the original Chanukkah. We must be prepared to leave our comfortable lives and do what God has called us to do. 

Messianic Rabbi John Powledge gives examples, including from Isaiah and Acts, of cases where people of faith experienced great miracles. Rabbi John points out that Peter was just a simple fisherman, so anything he did (or that God did through him), we should be able to do those things too. 

Messianic elder Joe George talks about "The Value of Keeping Torah". He explains point-by-point that there are a number of Biblical reasons for disciples of Yeshua (Jesus) to keep Torah. He also refutes several arguments of the type that says, 'the Old Testament isn't needed anymore, since it's now been replaced by the New Testament', demonstrating that this is incorrect and un-Biblical thinking. 

Rabbi John talks about how God raises up people to do the jobs he wants done, and accepts them where they are, even when their faith isn't perfect. He gives as one example the case of Gideon (Judges 6) where God called Gideon to destroy his father's altar to Ba'al. Gideon obeyed God and destroyed the altar, but he did it at night out of fear of the townspeople. God did not become angry with Gideon over his imperfect faith, but accepted Gideon as having done the thing that God called him to do. 

Messianic Rabbi John Powledge takes us through The Book of Acts, and shows us examples of average people in those days getting Spirit-filled and doing amazing things. As Rabbi John says, "When the Spirit is in the house, stuff happens!"

Put a description here

Messianic Rabbi John Powledge talks about prayer and repentance and it applies to this time preceding the national election. 

Messianic Rabbi John Powledge talks about revival throughout the Bible, from the Old Testament to the New, and how in every case God poured out His Holy Spirit before it could begin. Also the prophecy of Joel ("...I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh...") is discussed. 

Messianic leader Philip Snell begins by talking about the Hebrew words translated in Genesis as "formless and void", and shows how God intended to fill that void with his glory. This is similar to how our lives are supposed to work, but instead of letting God fill our lives with his spirit, we fill up our lives with a lot of stuff. Philip (and his assistant) do an experiment to dissolve cotton candy in water (edited for time) to show how the "stuff" we try to fill our lives with doesn't really add much to our lives. Philip says, "You can't fill up something that's already full."

Messianic Rabbi John Powledge begins a new series on the Holy Spirit, the Ruach Ha'Kodesh, and how God wants to pour out His power through us. 

Messianic Rabbi John Powledge continues his teaching on repentance, which leads to revival.
