God intends that we learn spiritual lessons from his commanded festivals.

Were There Giants on the Earth?
We read in Genesis “There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown” (Genesis 6:4)
The word “giants” is translated from the Hebrew word nephilim, from naphal, “he fell.” (Clarke’s Commentary). This word does not necessarily mean a person of great stature or size. In the Septuagint, a Greek translation of the Old Testament made in the pre-Christian era, the Greek word γιγαντες (gigantes) was used to translate nephilim. The word γιγαντες literally means “earth-born” (Clarke’s Commentary), and also does not necessarily indicate a person of great stature or size. However, some scholars have pointed out that Aramaic, which is closely related to Hebrew, has a word that in its plural form would be nephilin, equivalent to Hebrew nephilim, and meaning “giants” (cf “Battle over the Nephilim,” Tim Chaffey, answersingenesis.org, January 1, 2012).
What Are We to Believe?
Many of us have heard of the newspaper feature “Ripley’s Believe It or Not.” This feature told of unusual facts which were true, but nevertheless rather hard to believe.
Often it’s hard to believe the truth. Often it’s hard to believe something is possible, until it’s been done.
Does belief matter? Is belief necessary for a Christian? Does it matter what you believe? Does it matter who you believe? How can you believe the truth?
In this message learn what the Bible reveals about the matter of belief and answers from the Bible to these questions.
The Blessing of Truth
Rod Reynolds explains the importance of the blessing of truth, and what truth is. Though rare in today’s world, God wants everyone to have it, and he will see that in due time the world is confronted with this blessing on a universal scale.
Is There A True Church?
Is there a “true Church?” Many assume that of all the Churches that exist claiming to be Christian, while there are differences, these are simply matters of opinion and don’t really matter much as long as they “accept Christ.” Does it really matter which denomination or Church organization you are a part of?
One might also ask the question are there false Churches? If there is a true Church, where is it? How would you identify it? What is the true Church, if there is such a Church?
