The Sabbath and Holy Days define important markers for us to follow to stay on the road to salvation. But if we are not careful, they can become routine and we can find ourselves not continuing to follow God as closely as we should. In this sermon Mr. Smith shows us that we need to use the Sabbath and Holy Days to evaluate ourselves. And when we see problems, we need to take action. We need to repent and take the steps necessary to renew our relationship with God so that we will continue on the road to his kingdom.
