God expects an offering on holy days, not because He needs our money—for everything already belongs to Him—but because it reveals our attitude and the condition of our hearts.
The crucial question, therefore, is not, “How much must I give?” but rather, “With what attitude do I give?” For God does not want us to give out of a sense of duty; rather, He desires us to be joyful givers.

How Can Billions of People Be Judged at the Same Time?
The Last Great Day—an annual Holy Day of God—teaches us the Truth about God’s righteousness and His desire to save everyone, even though some will reject God’s call to salvation. We read that in the “Second Resurrection,” billions of people will stand before the Great White Throne to be “judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books.” But how will that judgement take place?
Proof
What we believe is proven by the way we behave. We prove our faith in the unseen promises of God through our obedient actions according to the commandments of God. When we give an offering it is a demonstration of our trust in God’s plan and an expression of our gratitude for the blessing to be included in His plan.
That Forever Feast Feeling!
On this Last Great Day of the 2026 FOT we can feel quite sad. It’s been a wonderful week and Fall holy day season, and we know that we are heading into a period with far less connection with one-another. Still, it need not be like that—we do not need to lost touch with our Brethren, and certainly not with God, Jesus Christ, and our obedience to the Father. How do we therefore maintain that Feast of Tabernacles sense and dedication? In this Sermonette we will cover several examples and scriptures that can assist in our spiritual energy and commitment.
LGD
This day represents the final phase of the physical creation of God and the ultimate goal of man to reach his full potential which is to become born-again children of God. In the end, the physical will no longer exist; Satan will have been neutralized and only the spiritual realm will remain.
Is God Fair?
The joy of knowing that all those who have ever lived and never heard the name of Jesus Christ and the message He brought to the earth nearly 2,000 years ago, are not lost. They will have their first and only opportunity in the second resurrection after the millennial reign of Christ.
The Battle Within
The sermonette, “The Battle Within,” is about the Christian’s continuing struggle against the self, or “old man.” Its specific focus is what I call our “matter-spirit bias”: the pull toward the physical, carnal way of thinking rather than God’s spiritual way.
Case Of A Stolen Heart
“The Case of the Stolen Heart” explains how the human heart—created for love, trust, and generosity—became hardened through Satan’s deception, sin, pain, and generations of learned fear. God offers to heal and reclaim that heart through His Spirit, replacing its hardness with His character as we continually surrender to Him. The Feast of Tabernacles pictures this restoration ultimately spreading across the whole world under Christ’s rule.
Institution of Trust
Every institution we rely on today exists because the human heart is deceitful, and trust has to be built, policed, and paid for at enormous cost. The Kingdom of God will replace this system entirely. When God writes His law on human hearts instead of stone, obedience becomes willing, judgment becomes perfectly righteous under Jesus Christ, and deceit disappears, so the world becomes safe, peaceful, and abundant without any of that overhead. We don’t have to wait for that Kingdom to begin living by its standards and already see blessings flow from living that way now.
Here I Am
The Hebrew expression “Hinneni,” which is regularly translated as “Here I am!”, is used both by God Himself and by various figures in the Bible.
We will first explore the profound significance of this expression and then, using two biblical figures as examples, take a closer look at the deep insights it offers for the life of a Christian and for their relationship with God and with other people.
