Even In The Darkest of Times
There are seven God-ordained feasts given to Moses to give to the Israelites in the Torah. As Christians, we believe four of those feasts have been fulfilled, and we celebrate, or at the very least acknowledge them, every year. So, what about the others? What about the Feast of Booths (the Feast of Tabernacles/The Feast of Ingathering/Sukkot)? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he shares insight into the fulfillment and importance of Sukkot in his message, The Great Ingathering.
Yom Kippur is the most holiest of days given to the people of Israel by the LORD God Himself. It was on this day that the High Priest went behind the curtain into the Holy of Holies and sprinkled blood on the Mercy Seat. It was on this day that the LORD rolled over the sin of Israel another year. Today, Christians are no longer under the Old Covenant, so why do we care about Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement)? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he shows us the importance of the Day of Atonement in his Yom Kippur Message, You Are Atoned For.
Friday, September 11th, at sundown, marked the start of the Day of Trumpets. The Day of Trumpets is one of the last God-Ordained Jewish feasts for the year. God established seven total feasts for His people to keep. Yom Teruah was number five. Each and every feast foreshadowed something to come. Yom Teruah is no different. Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he reminds us of what is to come in his Yom Teruah message, The Last Trumpet.
Freedom isn’t free is a statement that is often used a lot, but rarely is it truly understood. People risked everything for the sake of our freedom today. This isn’t just words, but truth. Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he reminds us of the sacrifices made to ensure our freedom in his Independence Day Message, Freedom Is Not Free.
The roles of fathers and mothers have been twisted, shifted, and blurred. The very words mother and father are currently under attack in our society today. So, what are we to do as Christians? What does the Bible say about the roles and definition of a father? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he sheds light on the role of a father in his Father’s Day Message, We Are Fathers.
Pentecost was the fulfillment of the Feast of Weeks. It was the fulfillment of Jesus’ promise of sending His Holy Spirit to His Church. So, what does this mean for us today? How do we today benefit from this fulfillment? Join Reverend Kenny as he reminds us of the promises that come with the fulfillment of Pentecost in his Pentecost Message, The Fullness of Pentecost.
Shavuot, or the Feast of Weeks, is one of three pilgrimage feasts that every able-bodied Israelite male had to travel to Jerusalem to take part in. The author of the book of Hebrews wrote that the Law was just a shadow of the good things to come, which would include the feasts. Shavuot, the Feast of Weeks, was fulfilled 2000 years ago. How? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he reminds us of the promises of the Law in his Shavuot Message, The Fulfillment of Shavuot.
It’s easy to feel discouraged. It’s easy to feel as if you’re alone or the LORD doesn’t hear you when you call. Sometimes, it’s in those moments that the LORD is just waiting for you to show your faith. To show that you walk by faith and not by sight. Join Reverend Kenny Yates this Mother’s Day as he encourages mothers with the reminder that the LORD hears their prayers in his Mother’s Day Message, A Mother’s Tenacity.
Each and every Easter, we remember the death and the resurrection of our LORD and Savior, Jesus Christ, because it is in these two events that we have the hope of salvation. Even though we read these accounts each year, we still miss subtle things. Why? Because of the great depths of our God. Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he reveals a mystery of Jesus’ trial and crucifixion in his Resurrection Sunday Message, The Silence of Jesus.
Palm Sunday is the day we commemorate Jesus riding into Jerusalem on a donkey. The crowds surrounding Him as they proclaim, “Hosanna. Hosanna.” Even though this is a well-known, popular, and foundational celebration, there is still so much that we has been overlooked in this celebration. Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he unpacks some mysteries of Jesus’ Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem in his Palm Sunday message, Under The Yoke.
