The First Feast of the Millennium
Clyde Kilough
What will the Millennium’s first Feast be like? This raises many questions about how we will begin teaching people about what God is working out. What can we know and imagine about that first Feast, and how does this relate to how we keep the Feast this year?

The Sound and Sight of Change
Blaney Sproul

Martin Cole

They Shall Learn War No More
Chad Messerly
Our world today hasn’t known a time of true peace. There is conflict in some part of the world at all times. The way of peace is not being taught on the world stage. However, the time is coming when, under Jesus Christ, the perfect arbiter, mankind will be taught how to have peace rather than war.

God Has Not Failed
Chad Messerly
This is not the only day of salvation. The plan of God includes one perfect and fair chance for every person. The one fair chance will include being taught God’s incredible way of life. Most have not had their chance yet, but all people will according to God’s timing and plan of salvation.
I Know the Plans I Have for You
Clyde Kilough
