St. Augustine, Florida Festival Messages
Respect God and His Way of Life
Larry Greider · St. Augustine, Florida
We have been invited to attend the Feast of the Eternal; to learn of His great mercy for man. To understand God is building a family to inhabit eternity with him. Micah 6:8 He has shown you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?
1. Feast shows that we are called to be teachers
2. The Feast gives us the big picture.
The History and Future of the Feast of Tabernacles
David Treybig · St. Augustine, FloridaSt. Augustine, Florida, is a city rich in history. Observing the Feast of Tabernacles also has a rich history and future. This message reviews the messages of the Old Testament prophets about God's Kingdom coming to earth, Christ's own words about His upcoming thousand year reign on earth and why this understanding gradually disappeared from mainstream Christianity.
God’s Government on Earth
Harold Rhodes · St. Augustine, FloridaIt's going to take the government or Kingdom of God on earth to eventually solve the world's problems and bring about universal peace. All forms of man devised governments have failed because God is left out of the picture. Jesus Christ will return to earth as He has promised in many prophecies and restore the government of God.
Neither Shall They Learn War Any More
Clyde Kilough · St. Augustine, FloridaMany leaders, political and military, have decried the horrors of war and yet the seeming inevitability of it. Why does man so often resort to such a despicable event as war? This is vital information for us to understand today in order to be able to help humans in the Millennium.
The Power of Family
Larry Greider · St. Augustine, FloridaFocus on the family. Ephesians 3:13-16. 1. Emphasize family dynamics wherever possible. 2. Nurture Relationships – they are the building blocks for the Kingdom 3. Realize you have family ties, now and forever.
Joy
Roy Demarest · St. Augustine, FloridaThere are many prophecies which speak about the "joy" we will have during the Millennium. What is joy? We all have moments of joy in this life, but they are only brief foretastes of the much greater and permanent joys we will have in the world tomorrow.
Spiritual Discernment
David Treybig · St. Augustine, FloridaAfter the thousand year reign of Christ on earth comes to an end, Satan will be loosed and he will once again deceive a large group of people into rebelling against God. This message details the need for spiritual discernment prior to Christ's return and explains how it can be developed and taught to others during the thousand year reign of Christ on earth.
Righteousness, Self-Control and the Judgment to Come
Clyde Kilough · St. Augustine, FloridaWhen Paul was called to defend himself before Felix, he "reasoned about righteousness, self-control, and the judgment to come" (Acts 24:25). The wonderful meaning in the annual festival cycle we are completing should inspire us to strive to conform our lives according to righteousness, through the control of God's Spirit, knowing that "the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God."
The Last Great Day of Mercy
Dave Myers · St. Augustine, FloridaThis sermon describes the meaning of the Last Great Day in God's over-arching plan of salvation for humankind. This day is a testament to God's great mercy.
