A Feast State of Mind

In this sermon Mr. Smith reminds us that the fall holy days are drawing near. He tells us that in this historic year we need to guard against letting events in the news distract us from getting our minds focused on the meanings of these holy days. Looking briefly at Leviticus 23, he shows us that these days promise a great future in God's kingdom not only for us but for all mankind.
