Traditional worship service

Watch our October 16, 2022 Worship service, sermon by Tom Cantor (Nehemiah 1)

Watch on October 16, 2022 Worship service. It includes prayers, singing, a missionary spotlight (short video), announcements, special music and a sermon by Tom Cantor from Nehemiah 1.

Our missionary spotlight this week was a short video from Tim Sandvall of Awana. He is one of the missionaries and evangelist that we help support. What a special music was by Jose H. He played hymn on the harmonica. (I always enjoy and I’m impressed at how well he does this.)

Tom first read Nehemiah 1. Then he connected it with II Peter 1:21 as being the word of God, not only Nehemiah‘s words. He applied Nehemiah‘s concern for his fellow Jews to, “We are OK in Christ, but not OK because those outside of Christ are not OK.” He gave examples from his experiences in Jewish evangelism.

Tom likened Nehemiah‘s attitude to that of Moses and his concern for his brethren, the children of Israel (Hebrews 11:24-26). He next pointed out that after mourning for certain days (1:4), he prayed for Israel. This is the rest of the chapter.

Tom broke the prayer down into different sections. Nehemiah started with praise (1:5). Next, he confessed his and their sinfulness (1:6-7). Then he appealed to the Lord’s sayings to Moses (8–9). Nehemiah finished with his request.

Watch our October 9, 2022 Worship service, sermon by Tom Cantor (Ezra 10)

Watch on October 9, 2022 Worship/Communion service. It includes prayers, singing, announcements, special music and a sermon by Tom Cantor from Ezra 10.

Tom Ezra 10 and then reviewed chapter 9. He pointed out that all sorts of people, men, women, children, joined Ezra in his mourning. Then he showed Shechaniah stood up and speaks, we have sinned (trespassed), and called out the specific sin. Shechaniah then added “yet now there is hope in Israel.“ An interesting point Tom made was that Shechaniah was the son of one of the men who had taken a foreign women who practiced idolatry for a wife. Ezra 10:2, 26

Tom pointed out this is a model of sin and hope for the world through the atonement of Messiah Jesus (John 1:29). The sad event pivoted at the time of the evening sacrifice (Ezra 9:4). He made the point that salvation is from the Jews, but there is no hope in the traditions of the rabbis as there is no hope in the Roman Catholic traditions. The hope is in the Jewish Messiah – Jesus. The gospel of Jesus Christ is the truth for all, Jews and gentiles. He connected the hope here with Hosea 2:15 “door of hope“ and noted that Jesus is “the door“ (John 10:9). Tom then made a connection of this hope in Jewish evangelism and gave an example from Japanese evangelism, too.

Finally, he addressed the difficult situation in this chapter regarding divorce, noting this was not the norm (I Corinthians 7:12).

Watch on September 25, 2022 Worship service, sermon by Sohrab Ramtin (Mark 14:3–9)

Watch on September 18, 2022 Worship service. It includes prayers, singing, announcements, a missionary spotlight, special music and a sermon by Sohrab Ramtin (Mark 14:3–9). The special music was by The Believers singing “Lord, Listen to Your Children Pray.” Ed Dickinson gave the Missionary Spotlight regarding work in Israel.

Dr. Sohrab Ramtin read Mark 14:3–9. (Interestingly, he taught on a parallel account of what Tom Cantor taught in Sunday school today. You can listen HERE

Then, Sohrab noted that the Gospels lead up to the point of the death, resurrection, atonement, and ascension of Christ. Sohrab said that God directs the drama in which there are enemies and friends. He pointed out that God overruled the priests and scribes plan (1-2). Among the friends was the woman who anointed Jesus with the perfume. He showed that this was one of the Mary’s from a John 12:31.

Sohrab also made the case that Simon the leper was probably healed by Jesus. He not only went over the account but also gave applications. He concluded with, “Have you received his gift of salvation?“

Watch on September 18, 2022 Worship service, sermon by Tom Cantor (Ezra 7)

Watch on September 18, 2022 Worship service, by Tom Cantor from Ezra 7. It includes prayers, singing, announcements, a missionary moment, special music (a hymn played on the harmonica by Jose) and a sermon by Tom Cantor.

Tom first read Ezra 7. He then noted that the role of the priest was between man and God, and the role of the prophet was between God and man. He connected this to how Christ is our high priest. He also made connections between Ezra and Moses regarding their sacrifices for Israel. Also, Tom pointed out Ezra’s focus on the power of the Lord.

Tom pointed out that Ezra had four steps in Ezra 7:10. First, prepared his heart; second, to seek the law of the Lord; third, to do it; and fourth, to teach Israel the statutes and judgments. He gave application as to how we can apply these principles to our lives. Tom also contrasted Ezra’s behavior with that of the hypocrites in Christ’s today.
