In its prophetic significance the Feast of Atonement has to do not only with the removal of sin, but also the removal of the chief instigator of sin, the enemy of God and of mankind, Satan the devil.

Many people assume that this is God's world, that God is fully in control, and that all that happens in the world is in accordance with God's will. But the reality of the situation is not quite that straightforward or simple. Whose world is it that we're living in? Is it really God's world?

The Bible foretells of a New Age to come, the evils of the present age a thing of the past. The Feast of Trumpets is, in its significance a portrayal of events that through God's intervention will usher in that new age.

Even when we face sickness and death, God is aware of our plight, and if we maintain our faith, we are safely in his hands. In this sermon, Rod Reynolds explains what the Bible says concerning death – what death is and what is the hope that lies beyond the grave for all human beings.

Does the New Covenant allow us to substitute human ideas of right and wrong – to substitute human tradition – in place of God's commandments regarding how to worship him, and how we ought to conduct ourselves as Christians?

God is extremely merciful and far more gracious than many people give Him credit for, and you can be a recipient of that grace. God is not looking for ways to destroy us; He wants to save us. Indeed, all of us are already recipients of God’s grace in more ways than we realize.
