Taking Responsibility For What Has Been Given
Zachary Williams
Our congregation , “ Remnant of Israel ” in Wichita , KS has the rare blessing as a Messianic congregation of fully owning our own building . It was built in the early 1950 ’ s with a common vaulted architecture of the time , and it even still has a “ Fallout Shelter ” sign on the outside of the building . A couple years ago in a maintenance area , I found an old , heavy catalog cabinet with shallow pullout drawers . I looked in the drawers and found that it contained alphabetized attendance cards from 1955 and 1956 .
Interestingly , in the weeks before the Emerging Leaders Conference in Kansas City in February 2024 , several pictures were hung up at my workplace stating , “ In God We Trust , motto of the U . S . A ., signed into law July 30 , 1956 .”
So , when I had the chance recently to teach on Numbers 26 & 27 a week before the Emerging Leaders Conference , I understood that God was highlighting things from a previous generation to be shared with this generation .
