Listeners call with concerns over Eucharistic ministers, murmured conversations during prayer, hand gestures at Mass, and even applause after hymns, while Patrick addresses each with candor, encouragement, and practical suggestions—never shying from the tricky nuances of Church teaching or daily life. Patrick shares a story about speaking at a parish when a Mormon gentleman came up to ask him about “the little curtsey” he did in front of the Tabernacle. (01:31) Maria - I was invited to be a Eucharistic Minister, but I have reservations. I see things that are not right. Is it a sin not to do it? (07:45) Cindy - I agree that it is sad that a lot of Catholics don't believe in the Eucharist. I had a dream that I was in Church and was seeing they were giving Communion to people and I saw the face of Jesus in the Eucharist. Why would I dream this? (15:46) Dave - I love the reverence of the Eucharist, but when people do things like the 'unicycle' it can scare people away. I wish we were consistent with what the Church does. (17:58) Linda - My kids used to say, 'We don't understand' why we have to dress up for Mass. (22:11) John - I am a Eucharist minister. I do give a blessing. It is really not the person giving the blessing, as the blessing is really from God. It is just like saying 'God bless you'. (26:36) Maria - People talking very loudly at Mass makes it hard to concentrate. Is it ok to tell people to be quiet? (37:26) Fr. Mark (email) – There can be confusion about convalidation… (47:32)
The Mishna rules that one who offers the leper's guilt offering outside the Azara before the proper time for the owner to bring it (i.e., before the eighth day of purification) is exempt from liability. Rav Chilkiya bar Tuvi limits this exemption to a case where the offering was brought for its own sake. If, however, it was offered not for its own sake, one would be liable for offering it outside, since such an offering could theoretically be valid if brought inside. Rav Huna disagrees with Rav Chilkiya. He maintains that if an offering cannot be brought for its own sake - because its proper time has not yet arrived - it also cannot be accepted when brought for the sake of a different sacrifice. A challenge is raised against Rav Huna from the case of the Pesach offering, which, when brought at a time other than Pesach, is offered as a peace offering even though it cannot be brought as a Pesach. This challenge is rejected, as the Pesach offering is unique: an animal designated as a Pesach automatically assumes the status of a peace offering on all other days of the year. Three sources are cited in support of Rav Chilkiya's position. The first two are dismissed as inconclusive, but the third appears to confirm his view, both according to Rav Dimi and Rav Ashi. An interpretation is brought that reconciles even this final source with Rav Huna's position. A braita derives scriptural sources for the Mishna's rulings that one is exempt from liability for offering outside items that are meant to be eaten, as well as for performing actions that do not constitute the final stage of the sacrificial service. The Mishna further states that the firstborns served as priests until the construction of the Tabernacle, at which point the kohanim replaced them. Rav Huna, however, asserts that the kohanim began their service earlier - at the time the Torah was given, nearly ten months before the Tabernacle was erected. This apparent contradiction is resolved by noting that the matter is the subject of a tannaitic dispute.

This episode dives into the high-profile prophetic words for 2025 released by Cindy Jacobs and the Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders—and asks the hard question: what actually came to pass, and what didn't?In this Remnant Radio conversation, Joshua Lewis, Michael Rowntree, and Michael Miller walk through the major 2025 prophecies from Cindy Jacobs and ACPE, examining themes like national shaking, global conflict, economic turbulence, spiritual warfare, and calls to intercession and repentance. Using Scripture as the plumb line, they explore how Christians should approach national-level prophetic words, how to test them, and what it really means to practice prophetic accountability in the local church and the broader body of Christ.The guys discuss the tension between honoring prophetic ministry and refusing to give in to spiritual hype, asking honest questions about what to do when timing, details, or outcomes don't match what was proclaimed. If you care about Christian theology, charismatic gifts, and the future of prophetic ministry, this episode will help you think more clearly about modern prophecy, discernment, and integrity in the prophetic movement. Join the dialogue as Remnant Radio continues to pursue that radical middle—fully open to the Holy Spirit, fully anchored in the Word.Reviewing Prophecies Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMsjeViSScFHAxEWVUTMiJvLHWHF7hOE10:00 – Introduction 4:30 – Psalm 25 and numerology-based themes for 20256:44 – “Reset of the nations” and Trump as “wartime president” 10:38 – War intensifying, spiritual warfare framing, and burdens on intercessors15:03 – Strategic-level spiritual warfare and worship/Tabernacle of David critique26:28 – “Enforcing victory,” economic collapse warnings, and Haman's sons as “principalities”48:11 – Israel, eschatology, and nationalism in prophetic words1:07:41 – Final exhortations on testing prophecySubscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.

We're about to pick up where we left off in Exodus. Lately we've been learning about the Tabernacle and all that it represents. Today we want to draw your attention to the Altar of burnt offering, the courtyard for the Tabernacle, and the oil for the Lampstand that would keep their lamps burning from evening till morning.

1. In his sermon today, Tim pointed out that the writer of John didn't say that The Word came into the darkness and then eradicated all darkness. Instead, Tim noted that God seems to want us to spend about half our time in the darkness. He theorized that maybe it's because God understands that darkness is a necessary part of our lives, and that it's necessary specifically for teaching us certain things we: the kinds of things we can lean and rely on.How do you respond to these ideas? How comfortable are you with the idea of darkness in our lives as a necessity?What do you make of the suggestion that we can learn certain things [only in] in the dark, and that those things are the kinds of things we can learn and rely on?What have you learned in your own periods of darkness? Can you identify some that are now part of how support yourself and keep yourself upright? Do you think you could have learned those same things without the darkness in which you learned them? Why or why not?2. Tim later talked about the idea of “enemy-making-spaces.” He talked about them as spaces where people are convinced that their side is full of goodness and light, and that others are full of darkness. These are often religious types, full of certitudes, unable to see their own darkness and/or acknowledge the lessons to be learned in it.What is your experience with spaces like this? How easily can you identify them in your past, or in your present sphere of exposure? What kinds of emotions surface as you reflect on these spaces? What shifts do you feel and sense in your body?Of these spaces, Tim said, “these spaces are efficient… they give clarity and something to do with our anger. Enemy-making-spaces let us discharge our pain without having to examine it.”How do you respond to this characterization? What resonates for you? What feels true? What feels confusing? Where do you feel resistance?3. Throughout his sermon, Tim highlighted John's presentation of Jesus as tabernacle, and tabernacle as essentially the opposite of enemy-making-space.Tim said that tabernacle is a space…Where God's presence can be noticed and practiced…and felt. Where a relationship with God can be re-learned. Of vulnerability & friendship.Where humans can slowly get used to being truly seen and known as we are - without needing to reach for fig-leaves or weapons.Where God can be with us, instead of over us. Jesus' presence, by John's telling, is the reality of God tabernacling again. And with God meeting us again, in human flesh, here on earth, God's response to our brokenness was forgiveness. Tim pointed out that, even before the death & resurrection, Jesus just kept telling people that their sins were forgiven in acts of unending grace. How do you respond to this picture of Jesus as a tabernacle-space brought to life among us? How does that affect your understanding of Jesus? Of his presence here on earth? Of the gospel story? What does it make you feel or think about how God sees and responds to you - in your darkness and in your light?What does it look like for us, as the church, to continue to act as a tabernacle space for the world and darkness around us? How can we show up as re-presenters of that same forgiveness and love? Practically speaking, how do we create that tabernacle space while also acknowledging the darkness, and maybe even its necessity? while also being a space for the brightness of God's light to be seen in the midst of the darkest nights? What does that vision ask of us? What does that vision ask of you?
WE'RE NEVER ALONE ( THE TABERNACLE IS THE SHADOW ,WE ARE THE SUBSTANCE)
John 1: 1-18 Susan Scott reminded us of a powerful image from this week's scripture in John where Jesus became flesh and "tabernacled with us." Jumping back in time to Exodus, God instructs the chosen people in great detail on how to build a portable tabernacle, a sanctuary, for God to dwell in, but only a very select few people could enter. Later the tabernacle is built in stone in Jerusalem with the holy of holies that contains the Ark of the Covenant and God's presence, but is destroyed by the Babylonians and then rebuilt when the Israelites return from captivity. During Jesus' time Herod massively expanded the temple, but the building had no Ark, no cloud of glory, no miracles, and no prophesies like the first one - a silence of 4 centuries. The high priesthood was corrupt and under the influence of the Roman occupiers. Into this darkness, John tells us that the long awaited return of God's glory to the temple has been fulfilled by Jesus, to an extant even greater than that of the first temple. But God is doing something new, amazing, and unexpected this time. Instead of being reserved for an elite few, God's glory now walks without elaborate trappings among all the people, prophesying and doing great miracles. As the short, dim days of winter continue, take some time to reflect on the bright glory of Jesus in our lives - God tabernacling with us, not apart from us.

The details of the Tabernacle are repeated over and over in chapter 35-40. Why? We have a tradition that the Torah is highly economical with its language, but these chapters seem to contradict that assumption. Why the detailed recapitualations?
For more than 30 years, Richard Elliott has inspired audiences worldwide as an organist for The Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square. Elliott was introduced to and baptized as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints while studying for his undergraduate degree. He later served a mission in Argentina, married his wife, Elizabeth, in the Washington D.C. Temple and taught as an assistant professor of organ at Brigham Young University. Today, Elliott is the Church’s principal organist for The Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square. He joins Church News editor Ryan Jensen on this episode of the Church News podcast to discuss the power of music and conversion to Christ. The Church News Podcast is a weekly podcast that invites listeners to make a journey of connection with members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints across the globe. Hosts Jon Ryan Jensen, editor of the Church News, and Church News reporter Mary Richards share unique views of the stories, events, and people who form this international faith. With each episode, listeners are asked to embark on a journey to learn from one another and ponder, “What do I know now?” because of the experience. Produced by KellieAnn Halvorsen.
In this Prayer Podcast episode, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe introduces Pesukei Dezimra (Verses of Praise) with Psalm 30—a relatively recent addition (about 400 years ago, per the Arizal)—as the gateway to deeper prayer. Though King David wrote it for the Temple's dedication (which his son Solomon performed), David embedded "Shlomo" acrostically and merited its use through his lifelong investment. The psalm transforms synagogues into a "mikdash me'at" (mini-Temple), elevating our mindset from social gathering to direct encounter with Hashem.Verse-by-verse, Rabbi Wolbe reveals David's profound humility: success is Hashem lifting us, not personal triumph; healing means forgiveness of sin; enemies are our yetzer hara (evil inclination); fleeting anger contrasts Hashem's desire for eternal life. Priorities flip—song precedes praise—reflecting constant gratitude turning into joyous overflow. The psalm parallels personal repentance, the Golden Calf forgiveness (leading to Tabernacle readiness on 25 Kislev—hinting at Chanukah), and dual emotions of joy/mourning.Ultimately, Psalm 30 aligns us: all is from Hashem, challenges are for growth, prayer humbles us to His will, and sincere cries (like David's, Chana's) are answered—preparing our souls to "sing forever" in Pesukei Dezimra's hallway to the Divine sanctuary._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Dr. Leonard & June GoldbergDownload the Prayer Podcast Worksheets:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1iBVevW1ydyjSeyeO0iCcina7e8vix3Lt?usp=sharingThis episode (Ep. #42) of the Prayer Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe of TORCH is dedicated to my dearest friends, Dr. Leonard & June Goldberg!

What does your profession have to do with Eden, glory, and eternity? In this episode of The Fellowship of Kingdom Professionals, Michael Blue unpacks an often-overlooked truth from Genesis: before humanity fell, we were clothed in glory; and after the fall, God mercifully provided coats of skin. Through Scripture, typology, and profound biblical insight, this episode reframes medicine, mental health, skilled trades, counseling, service work, and every vocation as God's provision for humanity in the "meanwhile"—the space between glory lost and glory restored. From Eden to Exodus, from the Tabernacle to Christ, this episode reveals how God uses human skill, labor, and compassion as temporary coverings, expressions of grace, until the full restoration of glory in Christ. If you've ever questioned whether what you do truly matters to God, this episode will re-anchor your calling, dignify your labor, and renew your purpose. New podcast episodes are available every Monday wherever you listen to podcasts.
Mary and Elizabeth were the original collaborators, co-laboring to provide the world with the hope and promise that it needed. In drawing near to each other, they discovered mutual support and joy, and the strength to encourage each other throughout their journeys. In a season where our relationships with those closest to us might be most tested and strained, we are called to practice vulnerability, mutuality, and shared love. Reflection Questions:1. What would it mean for you to be a “Tabernacle” for God? 2. What would it mean for you to be a “Doula” for God?3. How will you prepare for the fresh arrival of Jesus in and through your life?Find out more at HydeParkUMC.org/NextSteps

The Greatest Story Of All Time is our Christmas 2025 series at Fusion Christian Church. In this series we look at some of the ways God foreshadowed the Christmas story throughout the bible. In part 4, we conclude our series with a teaching on how Jesus Christ is our great High Priest.Jesus offered the perfect sacrifice.The priests in the Old Testament had to offer sacrifices constantly in order to atone for the sins of Israel. This is because the animal sacrifices could never truly take away the sins of the people. What the sacrifices did was point forward to the future sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. Jesus, by offering his own body up on the cross, did what all the priests who came before could never do. He made a once for all, perfect sacrifice that could finally make people clean. Jesus entered the perfect place.Under the Old Testament system, the High Priest entered the "Most Holy Place" once a year on the Day of Atonement. The Most Holy Place was the room in the Tabernacle (or later the temple) that housed the Ark of the Covenant. Here the High Priest would act as a mediator between God and his people, making peace between them. The Most Holy Place, however, was only a shadow of the true Most Holy Place in heaven. Jesus, as the perfect High Priest, passed through the heavens himself, and therefore entered the "perfect place." By doing so, Jesus was able to reconcile God's people to him in a way no other high priest could.Jesus sat down on the perfect seat.On the Ark of the Covenant, which sat in the Most Holy Place, there was a space between two angels called the "Mercy Seat." This is the place where God's presence rested and where he would meet with the High Priest. Like with the Most Holy Place, this Mercy Seat was a shadow representing God's throne in heaven. According to the bible, after Jesus had offered his perfect sacrifice (himself) he sat down at the right hand of God in heaven. What this means is that Jesus can sit in the seat reserved only for God (because he is God). Jesus sits in heaven's Mercy Seat because he is the one who gives mercy to his people.You are now part of the priesthood.If you have been saved by Jesus, then his blood has washed you clean and set you apart for his service. God has a job for all of us to do, and that is to serve him and his gospel. All Christians are part of a priesthood where we live in service to our Prophet, Priest, and King Jesus Christ. How will you serve him?

God Dwells With Us | Cody McQueen--The focus of the Tabernacle was the Ark of the Covenant, which bore the heart of God and his desire to dwell near his people.--Notes
This sermon explores the deep longing for God's presence and the obstacles that obscure it. While we often associate God's presence with emotional experiences—tears or goosebumps—He is a constant reality. "Emmanuel" (God with us) is not merely a seasonal Christmas theme; it is the entire storyline of the Bible, from the Garden of Eden to the New Creation. God's relentless pursuit is defined by the promise: "I will be your God, you will be my people, and I will dwell in your midst." However, significant barriers often keep us from experiencing the face of God.Scripture ReferencesGenesis 3:1-13: The Fall, introducing disobedience and hiding.Psalm 51: David's plea not to be cast from God's presence.Isaiah 6:1-5: The confrontation between human sin and God's holiness.Luke 2:41-52: Jesus' parents losing Him by assuming He was in the crowd.Key PointsThe Narrative of Presence The Bible is bookended by God dwelling with man. It begins in Eden, moves through the Tabernacle and Temple, finds its fulfillment in Jesus, continues in the Church through the Holy Spirit, and culminates in the New Creation where no temple is needed.Seven Barriers to IntimacyDisobedience: Sin naturally creates distance.Hiding & Shame: Guilt says "I did something bad"; shame says "I am bad," causing us to hide from God.Lies: The enemy deceives us about God's character and the severity of sin.Holiness: God's unapproachable light exposes our darkness (Isaiah 6).Unforgiveness: Jesus teaches that holding grudges hinders our prayers.Busyness: Prosperity often leads us to forget the God who blessed us.Presumption: Like Mary and Joseph, we can travel days assuming Jesus is with us in the "religious crowd" without actually consulting Him.ConclusionDuring the holidays, we celebrate God being with us, but the pressing question is: Are we with Him? It is dangerous to assume His presence while living distracted, disobedient, or unforgiving lives. Jesus came to remove every barrier—sin, shame, and separation—so that we could once again walk face-to-face with God.Calls to ActionStop Hiding: Come out of isolation. Confess your sin and let God cover your shame.Check Your Assumptions: Don't assume God is with you just because you are at church. Actively seek His face daily.Release Unforgiveness: Let go of grudges that block your experience of God's nearness. Support the show*Summaries and transcripts are generated using AI.

With the tent ornament hung up, Tory and TJ explore Exodus 25 and John 1:14. God's presence once lived in the tabernacle, but in Jesus, God came to dwell with us face-to-face. The Jesse Tree reminds us that our God is not far away.

Pastor James Kaddis will give us a guided tour of the Tabernacle, and its furnishings, revealing its purpose and what it was for.

Have you ever begged God for something that mattered more than anything — and He didn't come through the way you hoped? That very thing happened to the great King David. After years of conquest, Israel was now unified and at peace. But, Israel was still worshiping Yahweh at a tent—the Tabernacle that had made the trek through the wilderness with God's people. Nestled in his cedar-lined palace, David—the man after God's own heart—began to dream. “The Lord has been so good to me, and He is such a great God. It isn't right that I should live in such splendor and luxury while God's presence is still relegated to a tent. God deserves better. I want to build Him a glorious temple!” Nathan, the prophet, heard David's dreams and could see that the king's motives were pure and his dreams noble. So, he immediately told David, “Sounds like a great idea. Go for it!” But what was God's response to David's dream? In a word, His answer was…no. He affirmed David for his desire to honor Him, but he would not be the one to build God a temple. God had a better plan in mind. And that leads us to our four main points: 1. It's not wrong to dream great dreams and pray great prayers. 2. Sometimes, though the dream is noble, it's not God's plan.3. When God says “No” to our dreams, it's because He has better ones in mind.4. When disappointed with God, the best response is thoughtful reflection and humble submission. How did David respond to God's “no”? The Bible says he “sat before the Lord and said, ‘Who am I, Sovereign Lord…” He paused to reflect on all the dreams that were fulfilled, the times God had answered prayer. And then he humbly submitted his dreams to the sovereignty of God. God's ways are not our ways. His thoughts are higher than our thoughts. When faced with the mystery of unanswered prayer, may we, like David, trust in the Sovereign Lord who is strong and loving and does all things well.
