It is a natural response of people to fear loss and take measures to prevent giving up what they have worked so hard to obtain. In the act of making an offering, we apply a value system based on standards that are spiritually motivated rather than materially motivated. In so doing, it is a delight to show God our gratitude through give up a portion of what we have.

Discipline is one of the qualities that really makes an impact in one’s life. Without discipline, we will not be able to accomplish being a Christian. When we show discipline in our lives, it leads to true freedom!

How can we make sure that we will enter God’s rest, and what is it that we must avoid? Can we have God’s rest today? What connection is there between God’s eternal rest, the Feast of Tabernacles and the weekly Sabbath? Why was Israel prevented from entering the physical rest of the Promised Land, and what lessons are we to draw from that? Why is it significant for us that Abraham, Isaac and Jacob lived in tents? What does it mean to be pilgrims and sojourners on earth?

The Day of Atonement is an annual holy day that focuses on our reconciliation with God. It reminds us of how important it is to draw close to God, becoming more closely aligned with His will. How can we use the Day of Atonement as God intended it?

Our offerings make it possible to give others an opportunity for salvation while helping to build and sustain the work of preaching the gospel of the Kingdom of God.

The Bible recounts the stories of men and women who have chosen to follow the way of God and of those who didn’t. My focus will be on those who chose life.

How we handle our life experience is heavily influenced by our attitude. When we have a negative attitude, we can find flaws in ideal situations. But when we have a positive frame of mind, even the most difficult circumstances are powerless in their attempts to drag us down. What can we learn from the Bible that will help us to foster a positive attitude to see us through the events of our lives?

The Feast of Trumpets points to the return of Jesus Christ and our resurrection to eternal life in the Kingdom of God. But will Christ return at a Feast of Trumpets? How will He come back? How and by whom will we be resurrected? And where does our resurrection take place? What will we look like then? Do we still have to appear before Christ’s judgment seat? And do we already have eternal life?

There will be a warning sound the whole world will hear, unlike that has ever been heard before, a sound that will warn of terrible disasters that will occur on this earth. How can we be prepared and also spared from having to go through what is prophesied to happen?
