The Church of God has a rich tradition of gathering in groups on the evening that begins the first Holy Day of Unleavened Bread. Based upon Exodus 12:42, that night is called the Night to be Much Observed. This sermon stresses four reasons to cherish that evening. We are to rejoice together with each other and with God. We remember the deliverance from sin that God holds out to us. We remember the covenant that God established with us when at our baptism. Plus, we look to the future and anticipate the ultimate release of the world from Satan’s control.
