Come Out of This World
David Gatley
We have put so much effort into planning for this Feast and so much effort into being here! We have honored God’s command to do that, and therefore we should put every effort into coming out of this world and being “present” here as we look to the amazing world that is to come!

Learning to Fear God
Greg Sargent
We are told to attend the Feast of Tabernacles so that we may learn to fear God (Deuteronomy 14:23). So how do we learn to fear God? The Bible answer is “hear” and “read” God’s Word. God gives us many examples concerning how blessed we are when we properly fear God and obey His Word every day.

Zadok and the World Tomorrow
Larry Neff
There is a fascinating thread that begins with Aaron and his lineage going into the time of Solomon. It explains why the sons of Zadok will have lead positions among the millennial priests. And there is a remarkable character lesson for us.

Can You See Me?
Mark Whynaucht
What better theme or vision can we have in our minds as we go into this festival season and as the world continues to be in turmoil? As we keep these commanded feasts of God, we need to ask ourselves: Do we see God more clearly?

Finding Joy in Your Life
David Gatley
“The kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit” (Romans 14:17). Are we truly rejoicing at this Feast and in our daily lives? God gives us so much to rejoice in … even in the trials of life. Find that joy!

He Who Endures to the End Shall Be Saved
Larry Neff
We must through many tribulations enter the Kingdom of God (Acts 14:22). We’ll draw lessons from the incredible experience of Ernest Shackleton and his men. They were attempting to be the first to cross Antarctica, but were stranded when their ship, Endurance, was trapped in the ice and sank. All survived.

To Eternity and Beyond
Mark Whynaucht
God is only impressed with Christian maturity over time. How do we know that? He that endures to the end, the same shall be saved. The apostle Paul talks about running a race, and he said you have to continue and stay in the race, and you must run the race until the end.

A Wonderful Time
Larry Solomon
In this sermon we will look at the meaning of the Last Great Day. It will be a wonderful time when all who have ever lived, never having had the opportunity, will have their opportunity for salvation.
Streets of Gold
Greg Sargent
After the third resurrection, the heavens and earth will be replaced with new heavens and earth. God Himself will receive rule from Christ and dwell with His righteous, immortal, eternal family. God’s city will have streets of gold. The former will not come to mind nor be remembered.
