A word from Art

Sermon Title: The Passover and Jesus

Scripture: John 10:10

Did you know God told the Israelites to remember certain events and miracles by having a party? I might even go so far to say that one of the reasons we love a good party is because our creator, God, loves a good party!  So, if you’ve ever thought that God was some “cosmic party-pooper,” then you couldn’t be more wrong. God wants us to get together and celebrate Him and live . . . an Abundant Life! In John 10:10, Jesus says, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came so that they would have life, and have it abundantly.” God wants us to have a blast in this life, to live this life abundantly! 

If you’re not quite convinced that God loves to party, you don’t have to look much further than the Old Testament festivals and feasts that God set up for the Israelites in the wilderness. And the crazy thing is, these festivals and feasts were a foreshadowing of Jesus and how He would ultimately bring us Abundant Life! Over the next two months, we will examine seven Jewish Feasts and how they point directly to Jesus. So get your party hats on and join us Sunday as we unpack the Passover Festival.
