2024 Tucson, Arizona Festival Messages
2024 President's Sermon
October 16
You Are Invited
Paul Carter
We have been individually and collectively invited to keep the Feast. With that invitation, there are things that God expects from us as participants in His Feast.
October 17
Common Faith, Hope and Salvation
Jim Franks
What will identify us as citizens of God’s Kingdom? We have a common faith, a common hope and a common salvation.
October 18
Marriage of the Lamb
James (Al) Garrett
How does Christ weld the vast diversity of Church members into a single body? The marriage of the Lamb to the Church is rich with symbolism that shows how the transition from a diverse collection of members into the Christ’s Bride will occur.
Patience as Teachers in the Millennium
Brit Railston
Patience will be required of us as teachers in the Millennium. What lessons on patience can we learn from the three examples James provides us (farmer, prophets, Job)?
Prepare to Serve or Just Be in the Kingdom?
Tom Clark
If we plan to serve rather than just be in the Kingdom of God, it changes how we think and live Christianity today.
October 20
What Are You Willing to Sacrifice for the Kingdom?
Tom Clark
Living Christianity always involves sacrifice. That means giving up something you value or care about for something that is more precious. Three examples: Demas, John Mark and Moses.
October 21
The Way
Paul Carter
God’s way of life is referred to as “the way” throughout His Word. Do we know it, do we live it, and are we ready to be the voice that says, “This is the way, walk in it”?
October 22
The Divine Presence
David Johnson
God places His own presence at the Feast sites He selects. Why is that important? What has the divine presence meant in the past? And what will it mean as we keep the Feast today and in the future?
October 23
Are You Like a Firefly? Power of Example
Tom Clark
Fireflies glow in the dark, and our example must also glow in a darker and darker world.
October 24
The Last Great Day: “The Awakening”
Paul Carter
The dead are sleeping the sleep of death. Billions are in their graves awaiting a call from God to awaken from that sleep. This day represents “the awakening.”
Embracing the Vision
David Johnson
There was a time when the work of God was a clear and powerful motivator for Church members. What is that work today? Is it as important as it should be in our lives? Are we still inspired by God’s vision of His work?
