Covenant Community 101: Shabbat - Part 1 "What & Why" 

He is most thorough teacher I have ever heard.

Writing this from China, where observing the Shabbat is really hard sometimes. People here are indifferent about the idea of a creator and the theology Churches have here is 99% reformed, which is not all that bad in some sense. Anyway, thanks for the videos and teachings. :)

Thank you! 🙏❤️🙏

This was awesome

Preach on bro because I am learning...thnx so much!

Great teaching! I should've started with this one.

Thank YHWH for MTOI Ministry. Greatly blessed by this teaching. Since 2018, I wanted to obey the Commandments of YHWH to remember the SHABBAT. But there is no assembly in Singapore that keep Shabbat except one synagogue that believe in Judaism. Therefore I join the MTOI SHABBAT LIVE on line every week. That is the only way I can remember the Shabbat with other believers. Blessings...

Lovely teaching. When the Lord says "Children of Israel," He is referring to those that are innocent as children, a people that purify themselves continually, until they receive a clean and pure heart, and mind like those of a child. All Israel does not seek after that.

Thank you!! I continue to learn so much!!

Amazing teaching!

shabbat shalom as we give so much thanks and praise unto our father YAHWEH for all the many blessing he has given us for all of creation and for allowing us to bear witness and be apart of we give so much thanks an praise and for our father YAHWEH for this day of rest and for sending his son to save us we thank you our father YAHWEH and we give thanks to brother yahshua for saving us and allowing us to speak to father in your name thank you we give so much thanks and praise unto our father YAHWEH and brother Yahshua shabbat shalom amen

Amein!!! Thank you, Rabbi Steve! @Messianic Torah Observant Israel

50:10 nobody around you have to work so you can keep shabbat, you can not send someone to the market for you, so you can keep the shabbath.

HalleluYAH HALLELUYAH HalleluYAH YAH Thank Though I do infinitely Agape Great Love.

I love Shabbat and long for it, beginning on the first day. I also have animals - goats, ducks, cats and a dog. The goats and ducks are pets but I have them for the eggs they yield which I eat, and milk from the goats when they kid. I always feed and water and clean up after them first thing on Shabbat morning because I could have no peace or rest if I didn’t. During the day they mostly leave me in peace while I study, sing, praise and worship Him (I live in a rural place with no fellowship near me, so am very grateful for MTOI). I know Yahweh commands us to be caring and considerate to our animals, so I assume it is ok with Him.

thank you...I am trying to learn how to be pleasing to YHVH...besides the Shabbat meal...are there teachings about how to spend the day? what is allowed, encouraged, what is not acceptable, etc? thank you...YHVH bless you

Hello pastor i got a question : What about people who say that the Shabat begins on saturday morning and not friday night. Shalom

So it's OK to record sports especially Friday night HS football etc, (so much of pagan worship HS football is on TV) to watch later with the son who is trying to accept Sabbath understanding not to play what he desires to do how does that be right? When I played HS football before knowing Torah ... BUT if we learned Torah and my Father did that to me I would be confused with it's NOT ok for me to play but OK for us to watch people breaking Torah as long we watch it not on the Sabbath? I loved football, played HS full contact, College flag football and if I knew Torah then I wouldn't have played . Why watch HS and College football if one's son isn't playing, as you stated they are worshipped? Since the kneeling during games and being a Veteran i quit watching if I quit watching because of that which includes not watching it recorded, how is it OK to watch Friday and Saturday games that break Torah if I watched them during Sabbath but be alright on a different day is like watching Christian Christmas and Easter because they are recorded movies as long we watch them any other day except Sabbath, or on actual Christmas or Easter days. Understand maybe the lead up to the joke, ... You have stated if a ministry does fear mongering and other clear false teachings and no matter if the rest of their teachings are spot on it's still a spoiled ministry and stay clear of them. They teach fear, your analogy teaches compromise, how is different? I plan to continue to watch your teachings, with understanding this was an error, but scripture says YHWH can use everything for His plan and His Believers, are we not to test the teachings and if crazy asteroid, etc to ignore but not excommunicate the ministry for you also said no Ministry is perfect. We are to reason where theological differences happen both on salvation and non salvation issues. We aren't to hold blind non awake Sunday Christians to the fire so why do it to Ministries that have mostly correct teachings but teach something that is not?

I miss you Ronald please take care of yourself and Rosalind and all our kin folk in Yeshua the Christ and Yah Yahushuah Hamaschiach EL Shaddei The King of kings and the Lord of lord's aka Jesus The Christ.

Isn't cessation a better word for the translation of Shabbaton than to rest? Rest to English means to sit in lazy boy, or sleep, etc. To cease from secular work, cease from cooking, cease from kindling fire, to cease from gathering sticks for fire, etc. To rest from cooking, rest from driving, rest from buying and selling, etc. doesn't even make sense in that context.
