Appointed Times: 8th Day MP3 YouTube HANDOUT
What is taught in the Churches of God, regarding the 8th day Holy Day that follows the Feast of Tabernacles, can be found in E W Bullinger's Companion Bible, appendix number 198. This was written around 1900 and is what the Churches of God base their teachings on. Bullinger was an Anglican minister. That, in itself, isn't a problem, but if what is taught doesn't match the biblical record then it does present a problem. We take a fresh look at the mysterious 8th day in terms of what it actually represents in light of what the Bible tells us.
Appointed Times: Tabernacles Day 7 MP3 YouTube
In this study we will explore the why the latter temple will have more glory than the former. In Haggai 2:9, Yehovah makes this statement after encouraging the remnant of the exiles to complete the temple they returned to the land to build.
Appointed Times: Tabernacles Day 6 Outline/Transcript MP3 YouTube
Traditionally, in the COG sphere, there has been much emphasis on doctrine. This has led us to overlook, and be blind to YHVH's stated will, in any number of areas. We look at scriptures through the lens of God's stated will, in an attempt to see where we are at One with Him and Christ, and where we might need to make some adjustments to align with Them in a closer manner than we have in the past. Reading the scriptures in such a way as to discover God's will in many areas, changes our perspective and broadens our understanding.
Appointed Times: Tabernacles Day 5 MP3 YouTube
A study into past temples the YHVH had constructed for Israel in the wilderness and then in Jerusalem. The intended purpose of a temple and the impact of their design on the present temple under construction.
Appointed Times: Tabernacles Day 4 MP3 YouTube HANDOUT
There are three harvest festivals a year with the last one referred to as the Feast of Ingathering in Exodus 23 and 34. The Feast of Ingathering completes the yearly harvest cycle and portrays the harvest of all the Nations. What it does not portray is the millennium. It truly is hard to unwind the many years of incorrect teaching, but it is important to recognize and accept what the record of scripture truly says.
Appointed Times: Tabernacles Day 3 MP3 YouTube
Taking a look at the times YHVH has intervened in battles, both scripturally and in modern times.
Appointed Times: Tabernacles Day 2 MP3 YouTube
What is the purpose of the feasts which YHWH our God has commanded us to keep? What is it that we should be learning at God's feasts?
Appointed Times: Tabernacles Day 1 MP3 YouTube
Our understanding of Yahovah's appointed times has changed dramatically in recent years. So much so that we mast admit we have been through a time of ignorance. There are three harvests described. What happens at each and what is the role of the Father and what role for the Son? And so many other questions. Now God calls all men, including the Church [ekklesia], to repent.
Appointed Times: Coverings MP3 YouTube HANDOUT
The Day of Coverings portrays a number of things, but central to it all is the preparation for the Father to return and place His throne in the future temple. Coverings portrays the restoration of temple worship and the Father's promise to dwell in the midst of His people forever.
Appointed Times: Trumpets MP3 YouTube HANDOUT
Day of Trumpets is a memorial, which means it is meant to bring something specific to mind. Trumpets is when the Father, assisted by Jesus Christ, comes down to the earth and begins to directly assert His authority over the nations in preparation for establishing His Kingdom. It is a time of great accountability but also of great promise. We pray throughout our lives "Your Kingdom Come" and the Day of Trumpets portrays the time when that prayer is answered.
Appointed Times: Pentecost MP3 YouTube
Pentecost is one of three harvest festivals. Bringing forth fruit requires a great deal more than simply planting. Becoming "perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect" is a life-long project directed by our Father.
Appointed Times: Unleavened Bread Day 7 PDF MP3 YouTube
Conversion is a process. It is a process of ever learning and growing as we are led by the Spirit of God. Layer upon layer of Satan's deceptions must be removed. The more we make Christ our head, the more growth happens. We look at areas where we might think Christ is our head, but in actuality, He is not. Our own growth is stunted when we substitute something other than Christ, and we need to correct that. Doing what the Bible actually says will open the door to becoming one with our Father and Christ. Their spirits are holy, and our spirits need to become the same.

Appointed Times: Unleavened Bread Day 7 MP3 YouTube
Jude states that we are to contend earnestly for the faith that was delivered to the saints. Unfortunately though, our understanding of that faith has been filtered, not just through man's customs and traditions, but also through man's manipulations and deceptions. We must be willing to examine what we believe and how we came to believe it. We then need to be willing to compare that, not just with specific scriptures, but with the entire record of scripture.

Proverbs 16:7-9 NKJV
When a man's ways please the LORD, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.
Better is a little with righteousness, than vast revenues without justice.
A man's heart plans his way, but the LORD directs his steps.
