    We've all heard this one before: “It's my life and I'll do what I want.” We like to think we've got everything under control, but the truth is, when we're left to our own devices, our lives can get messy. The good news is, Jesus offers us something so much better. As our Lord and Savior, He cares for us better than we ever could on our own. Within our message today, Pastor Dan is diving into what it really means to let Jesus take the lead, and why surrendering to Him is the best decision we'll ever make.

    Do you ever wish you could just hit the reset button on life and start all over? The year of Jubilee was exactly that for ancient Israel: a fresh start where debts were erased, and people got a second chance every 50 years. Sounds great, right? What's even better is that through Jesus, you're offered that same kind of fresh start, no matter what's in your past, and you don't have to wait 50 years for it! Today, Pastor Dan's going to share how God's grace gives you the ultimate do-over, and why that's such good news.

    What does real freedom look like? The Bible tells us that the only way to achieve total freedom is through Jesus. Just like the year of Jubilee brought freedom and rest in ancient Israel, Jesus brings us ultimate freedom from our own sin. He cancels the debt of our sin and breaks the grip it has on our lives. If you've ever felt stuck or weighed down, this is the message you need. Today, Pastor Dan is diving into how Jesus is like the Jubilee Year in the Old Testament. He brings hope and freedom.

    How do we really know we're making the right decisions? When making big decisions, it's easy to rely on our own understanding, experiences, or our gut instinct, but God calls us to rely on Him when making decisions. Scripture reminds us that true wisdom comes from seeking the Lord's direction in all things, and His Word promises to guide us when things feel unclear. Today, Pastor Dan will walk us through how to seek God's wisdom and let His Word show us the way in every decision we face.

    What does it mean to keep our faith fresh? We can all admit there are times when we're just going through the motions, attending church or reading Scripture, without really being engaged. But the truth is, our relationship with Jesus should be fresh and renewed regularly, just like the showbread in the tabernacle was renewed weekly. A faith that's fresh changes how we live and how we serve the Lord. Today, Pastor Dan will share how we can keep our walk with Jesus fresh and strong.

    Sin has to be dealt with to enjoy the fullness of life God intends for you. You have to deal with the reality of your separation from God because of your sin before you can enjoy eternal life. As you look at the Feast of Tabernacles today with Pastor Dan, you'll get to see what follows when you give your life to Christ. You get to celebrate! The Israelites celebrated their atonement with the Feast of Tabernacles in the Old Testament, similar to how you can celebrate your forgiveness through faith in Jesus today!

The Israelites had the Feast of Tabernacles to remember God's goodness and grace in bringing them out of slavery and into the promised land!

    God's love and forgiveness are reasons to celebrate! It's a reason to have joy in your heart! It was the last feast in Leviticus, and it followed the feast of Atonement. Pastor Dan will explain in today's message that the Feast of Atonement was to deal with the sins of Israel, just like Jesus' sacrifice dealt with the sins of the world. Both led to forgiveness and atonement of sins. After that, you're free from the bondage of sin! You don't have to carry that regret in your heart! You have eternity in Heaven to look forward to!

    God loves His people. You can see Him bless Israel greatly in the Old Testament when they were faithful to follow His commandments. Even when they sinned, they had a way to be forgiven through sacrifice. Today, Pastor Dan is going to show you how God's love hasn't changed. He gives His people plenty of time to repent of their sins and turn from them. He sent Jesus to make a way to be forgiven today.

    The tribulation is going to be a difficult time for Israel. The faithful in Christ will be separated from those who aren't. The sheep line and the goat line will be formed. One is bound for eternity in Heaven, and the other for Hell. Today, Pastor Dan is going to tell you about the similarities between the day of atonement in Leviticus and the tribulation period that is to come. The Feast of Atonement was the only one that wasn't a joyous celebration. It was serious and dealt with Israel's sin, just like the tribulation will.

    Jesus was the final atoning sacrifice for your sins. He lived a perfect life, which the lamb without blemish symbolized in the feasts in Leviticus. The scapegoats on the day of atonement were meant to take the sins of Israel away so they could be forgotten forever. Today, Pastor Dan is going to connect the Old Testament scapegoats to Jesus in the Gospels. Jesus took all your sin on Himself when He was sacrificed on the cross, and it's forgiven forever. He was the perfect sacrifice in your place.

    The Bible never refers to any sexual orientation as an identity in Scripture. Our identity should not be based in heterosexuality or homosexuality, but in our Imago Dei – which means the image of God in us. He created us, and His design should be the basis for who we are. A part of that design is our sexuality, and that part needs to be submitted to Him. As Pastor Dan will warn in today's message, when we make this behavior the center of identity, it's making it an idol and rejecting our Creator's authority.

For many of us, we may think back to when we were young and realize we wouldn't have lived long if this law were still applicable. This law was effective in that it was rarely executed. The men of the community were involved and promoted respect between children and their parents.

    We tend to put sins into categories, considering one sin to be much worse than another. In the Church, homosexual sin has often been classified as significantly worse than heterosexual sin.
