The Feast of Trumpets is one of the most mysterious festivals in the Old Testament. Unlike the other Holy Days, God gave very little explanation for it. Yet throughout Israel's history, the sound of a trumpet meant it was time to stop, listen, and respond. What does that teach us about God? Is He trying to get our attention today?

The Feast of Weeks, also known as Pentecost, was a festival in which God's people offered some of the best crops He had blessed them with. It wasn't about paying God back—it was about thankfulness. Everyone participated because everyone had received blessings from God. While we don't offer our best grain to God today, we still have every reason to be thankful—not for crops and livestock, but for grace, provision, acceptance, and connection. This ancient festival can still teach us some things about gratitude today.

In ancient Israel, the Feast of Firstfruits reminded God's people to bring Him the first and best of their harvest, trusting Him with the rest. As followers of Jesus, that same principle still challenges us today. What would change if we gave God and others our best—not just occasionally, but every day? What does it mean to live as people of firstfruits and to offer God our first and best?

In ancient times, God gave His people a festival during which He required them to remove every trace of leaven from their homes. The Feast of Unleavened Bread reminds us that God still calls us to identify and purge the things that corrupt our hearts and distract us from Him. So what needs to be cleaned out of my life?

Peter's confession that Jesus is the Christ the Son of God is foundational to His church. The truth of Jesus’ divine identity cannot coexist alongside misguided perceptions that He was simply a prophet or good teacher.

In ancient times God gave His people a special celebration called Passover — a reminder that He had rescued them from slavery and brought them into freedom. God wanted His people to never forget what He had done for them. And He still doesn’t. Today, we remember the even greater freedom we’ve been given through Jesus, our Passover Lamb. Because of His sacrifice, we can be free from sin, guilt, and shame. It's a freedom that still changes lives today.

We all have special days marked on our calendars — holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, and celebrations that bring people together and help us remember what matters most. In ancient times God also gave His people sacred days set apart for worship, rest, feasting, and remembrance. What were these holy days, why did they matter, and what can they still teach us about God and our connection with Him today?

Motherhood is full of joy and exhaustion, victories and setbacks, laughter and sacrifice. Moms are often the steady anchor for their families, offering strength, comfort, and support through every season of life. But moms need an anchor too. The good news is that God is always faithful to provide strength, peace, and help when life feels overwhelming. The same God who uses mothers to care for others is also caring for them.

These days, truth can be hard to pin down. Between A.I., filtered posts, and the way we present polished versions of ourselves, it’s almost expected that what we see isn’t the full picture. But Scripture is different. For centuries, God’s Word has proven to be true and reliable. With so many voices offering guidance, the Bible is the one source I know I can trust to anchor my life.

Most of us have someone we turn to when life feels overwhelming—someone we trust for advice, support, and direction. We need that kind of anchor, a steady presence that keeps us from drifting or falling when life gets uncertain. Now imagine if the church could be that kind of presence in your life. Not just a place you attend, but a family you can rely on—a steady, safe community that walks with you when things aren’t going right.
