Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth and the Life. We follow Him by preaching His message, caring for His disciples and serving others as He served.
The 7th day of the Feast has a built in message and that message is found in Revelation 20:7-9. After 1,000 years of God’s rule in the Millennium why did huge numbers of people follow Satan’s lead after he is released for a short time? This sermon is designed to give food for thought for our members as they will be going back to their homes and resuming regular daily life in a couple of days. Two main points will be stressed so that we will finish our race strong:
1. Have a one on one relationship with God and Jesus Christ that mean everything to us.
2. Have a passionate love for God’s way of life.
