True worshipers will be at the Feast of Tabernacles to worship the Father in spirit and truth. Every seventh month on God’s calendar, for seven days, we are to keep this feast at that place where God places His name. The years of feasts repeat with changing lessons. Perhaps at different locations, but always as a way to remind us of the cycle and the plan of God.
We are going to discuss how Ecclesiastes relates directly to the Feast of Tabernacles. The Jews read the entire Old Testament over a three year period.

We are going to discuss how Ecclesiastes relates directly to the Feast of Tabernacles.
When Christ returns, we will be assigned great responsibilities as kings and priests. How much thought do we give to how we will handle these responsibilities?
Who would you want to meet in the millennium? The Bible gives a who’s who list of those guaranteed to be there. Revelations 3:21 "To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne."

On this island, we stand out as foreigners, not only as tourists but as God's people. I Peter 2:11-12 tells us how we should behave in that role God has called us to. With the potential for such a long-lasting impact (upon Christ's "day of visitation"), we can take advantage of that for these eight days and to stand out in the crowd of thousands of "temporary visitors" on the island of Kauai.
What has been the focus of your Feast? Has your Feast been inward focus or outward focus? Has your feast been All About You? Christ lived a life that was outward focus. If we are following Christ example, then we need to live a life that is outward focus.
Reflect on King Solomon’s dedication of the Temple, where God’s glory filled the sanctuary as a powerful sign of His presence among His people (1 Kings 8; 2 Chronicles 5–7). Solomon’s heartfelt prayer and God’s response with fire from heaven call us to dedicate our lives as living temples, filled with the Holy Spirit through prayer and obedience (1 Corinthians 6:19). As Temples, or mobile tabernacles, we’re urged to shine as lights in a dark world, carrying the gospel and serving others with zeal. At the feast, it is time to deepen your prayer life, rededicate yourself to God, and ignite a spiritual fire that transforms you and those around you!

Our calling is an exercise in moral courage. What we are developing now, in this lifetime, is moral authority. Moral authority is the authority we have when people perceive that there is alignment between what we say and what we do. Those who abide, endure to the end, and qualify to rule with Christ will rule with the power of moral authority. The authority that comes from living the life we have been called to in spite of the pressures to do otherwise. Nothing persuades or encourages like the power of a good example. For an appreciation of the power of moral authority, let’s take a look at the story of Nehemiah.
There are several instances in Christ's ministry in which wine, and "new" wine, are discussed. However, the exact meaning of new wine may be misunderstood by many. On this Day of Atonement, God's people should be striving to be new vessels, filled with "new wine". This message explains.
As we prepare for the Feast of Tabernacles, this message reminds us that the most important preparation isn't what's in our suitcases, but what's in our hearts.
