Dear Heritage Family,
Beloved, while their efforts may have been well-intentioned, I hope you now see the mistake our church fathers made in 325 B.C. when they merged the sacred events of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ with the secular events of what we might call a spring festival. In Leviticus 23:2-4, “The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ‘The feasts of the Lord, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, these are My feasts, which you shall proclaim at their appointed times.”
The Hebrew word for “feasts” (moadim) means “appointed times.” God carefully planned and orchestrated the timing and sequence of each of these seven feasts to reveal a special story. These times were “appointed by God,” and it is not within our purview to adjust God’s Divine calendar to fit our secular schedule.
· It was no coincidence that Jesus was crucified the day the Jews celebrated Passover; He was our Passover Lamb.
· It was no coincidence that Jesus rose from the dead on the feast of First Fruits; for He gave us the pattern of the harvest of souls that will soon be resurrected.
· It was no coincidence that the Holy Spirit empowered the Church on the Feast of Pentecost, for it is through His power that our witness is effective.
· It will not be a coincidence when Jesus returns to earth as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, and after celebrating the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, we will enter into the Feast of Tabernacles – our eternal rest.
The Resurrection of Jesus Christ is the most significant event in human history. Let’s not cling to secular celebrations or even religious traditions that aren’t supported by the Scriptures. Let’s be sure our beliefs, practices, and methods of worship are firmly rooted in the Bible and not in human tradition.
This Sunday, we will set the record straight regarding the final days of our Lord’s life on this earth. In this sermon, we will walk with Jesus, step by step, from Golgotha, the place of the skull, to the Mount of Olives, from which our Lord ascended back into glory. If you view the sermon on our website, www.the heritagechurch.org, you may click on the sermon title on the second page and find the sermon study guide in another format.
THANK YOU FOR FORWARDING THESE STUDY GUIDES TO OTHERS.

PASTOR WAYNE’S SPECIAL REPORT ON ISRAEL
PLEASE SEE ATTACHED FOR A SPECIAL EDITION OF THE WATCHMEN’S REPORT!
IF THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION CONTINUES ITS PRESENT COURSE, IT WILL SOON ABANDON ISRAEL, AS MANY ADMINISTRATIONS HAVE DONE BEFORE. THIS WILL NOT BE WITHOUT SEVERE CONSEQUENCES, AS WE HAVE ALSO SEEN BEFORE, AND ACCORDING TO MANY WATCHMEN, THE U.S. MAY ALREADY BE REAPING THEM.
PLEASE FORWARD THIS ARTICLE TO THOSE YOU THINK MIGHT BE INTERESTED!
