Does God love or hate the celebration of Jewish holy days today? Many Christians are ignorant and uneducated when it comes to Jewish holy days ritual and feasts, and when they become aware of them, believers in Christ then begin to incorporate them into their Christian faith. This practice is encouraged by the large Christian television networks who constantly feature tours to Israel and bring messianic rabbis on their programming to offer insight on Jewish life. Even regular Jewish rabbis are invited to share what is happening in Israel and the latest trend in Judaism. This is in stark contrast to the message found in the New Testament in which Jesus and the apostles deliberately moved away from Judaism and shed the traditions of the past. Ironically, many pastors and television evangelists are attempting to usher Christians back into Judaism, a corrupt and dead religion that will one day give birth to the Antichrist system.

This week we are going to examine the background and rituals for Hanukkah, Yom Kippur, the Feast of the Tabernacles and Purim. I have already covered the Passover extensively in the past, and if you desire to know more about it, check out the links here and here. What should be the Christian response to Jewish customs and holy days? Please join me as we examine the Bible for the answers. If you have questions or doubts concerning holy days, this is a message you do not want to miss!

Print out the sermon outline and let's examine the Scriptures this Sunday morning at 9:00 AM PST.

Yours in Christ,

Pastor John S. Torell
