Did God’s Plan Need an Adversary? – Scott Hoefker – October 21, 2023
Would man have been capable of sinning if there had been no Satan the Devil and his influence?

In the physical world around us we are many times asked to recognize patterns. In a similar way, we must be able to recognize the patterns of sin in our own lives so that we can effectively fight it.
God uses the Day of Atonement to teach us both physical and spiritual lessons about ourselves and His purpose for us. In our weakened state, we are reminded of our need for His strength.
Celebrating our Father’s Feast of In-gathering reminds us that Jesus, the firstborn Son of God, is returning to the earth to claim His bride. His true church is eagerly preparing herself for the perfect union that will produce a Godly offspring. Today, we “consider our ways” to search for the special fruits that identify the first-fruits of God’s spirit.
The Book of Revelation covers this Festival of Trumpets in detail. It’s important to understand these 7 Trumpets that culminate with this Holy Day.
The great tribulation is going to be the most turbulent, most tumultuous time that has ever happened or will ever happen. Yet mankind won’t have a clue, that they have been deceived. Revelation 12:9 tells us that. The body of Christ is different; we read God’s word; we have His Holy Spirit, right? We will escape the tribulation. Are you sure? The Bible talks quite bit about the tribulation of God’s chosen people, about what’s going to happen to the people in the Body of Christ. Today’s message is going to focus on the Tribulation of the Body of Christ.
God’s Holy Days are designed in a specific order in succession preparing for the next one in His plan. Atonement helps us become spiritually focused in preparation for the upcoming Feast of Tabernacles.
Two of the main analogies using death are explored in scripture with respect to everyone that has ever lived, and to those who have accepted the death of Christ to cover their sins. As the message progresses, it is revealed how these analogies lead to an abundant new life.
The holy days we observe in the Fall season of the year have a special significance and meaning that is focused on God’s plan for including all of humanity in the opportunity to know Him and Jesus Christ and become part of His family.
