5/23/10 – Sermon Series: The Jewish Feasts – “The Feast of Tabernacles”
The feast of tabernacles is the last of the seven Jewish feasts introduced to Israel at the time of the exodus from Egypt. This feast occurred six month after the passover feast. Passover and tabernacles commemorate both the beginning and the end of the historical journey of the Israelites from Egypt to Canaan. They also symbolize the inauguration and consummation of our spiritual journey from Calvary to the world to come.
The feast of tabernacles is a joyous celebration which takes place five days after the day of atonement. The feast is a time of great joy and celebration over God’s blessing and provision in their lives. It also is a time where the people recognize the protection and care of God over His people during the 40 years wandering in the wilderness. This feast speaks eloquently of Christ’s millennial and eternal kingdom. A place without the ravages of the curse of sin. On that last and final feast of tabernacles, righteousness will become a reality for ever and ever.

5/16/10 – Sermon Series: The Jewish Feasts – “The Day of Atonement”
The day of atonement, also known as Yom Kippur, is considered Israel’s most solemn and holy day of the Jewish calendar. It is a day observed and marked by complete fasting, prayer, and repentance. This yearly event was to atone for the sins of the Jewish nation and a plea for God to watch over them and bless them throughout the next year. The focal point of this day and event involved the high priest entering the Holy of Holies, where he sprinkled the blood of a bull and goat, sacrificed on behalf of himself and the people. The priest would then send a second goat out into the wilderness to symbolically carry away their sins.
This day and the events which took place were a future picture of how Jesus would perfectly provide a way for our sins to be covered and for us to be reconciled to God. Jesus became our high priest, as well as the sacrifice which would take away the sins of the world. Unlike the day of atonement, which had to be observed year after year, Jesus’ death on the cross made atonement for our sins once and for all. His shed blood provided eternal redemption.

5/9/10 – The Proverbs 31 Mother
We live in a day and age where the definition of success, both for a man and a woman, is based off a chart of secular achievements. Sadly, in the world’s eyes, one’s value comes from their physical position in life. Our status is often based off what jobs we hold or how much money we make. Unfortunately, there is a job that the world has left out of this whole process, which is truly the most rewarding and prestigious job anyone could ever have. This is the role and responsibility of a Godly mother who fears and loves the Lord.
The last chapter of Proverbs gives to us a definition and model for such women. It describes one who lives out a life of influence that leads her family in the ways of the Lord. It describes the attributes of the woman as one who desires to live out a life of: purity, trustworthiness, commitment, diligence, positive attitude, compassion, and respectfulness. Those qualities and traits will bring about true honor and value. A Proverbs 31 mother is a gift and blessing of God to her family and all who know her.

5/2/10 – Sermon Series: The Jewish Feasts – “The Feast of Trumpets”
Every fall of the year, the Jewish community observes a holiday called “Rosh Hashanah”, meaning the beginning of the year. In the old testament, this day was known as Yom Teruah or Day of Trumpets. On this day the priest was to blow a trumpet which was made from a ram’s horn. This is known as a Shofar. When this trumpet sound was heard by the people, they were to stop whatever they were doing and begin a 10-day period of time to prepare themselves for an upcoming event known as Yom Kippur, or the Day of Atonement. It was the blast of the Shofar or trumpet that began the prelude to the most holy day to come. It was a warning sign, or call, to the Israelites to prepare themselves to live in a state of readiness for God’s coming judgement.
There is little doubt that Jesus’ second coming announced by a loud trumpet call will be connected and correspond with this old testament Feast of Trumpets. As we await the return of Christ, we too must be evaluating and searching our lives and attitudes to see if we are ready for the judgement of God that is to come. This is the only way we’ll be prepared for the trumpet call and return of Jesus. May we encourage one another and build one another up in our faith as we await that glorious day.
