WHY WE SHOULD NOT CELEBRATE HALLOWEEN

WHY WE SHOULD

NOT CELEBRATE

HALLOWEEN

• As Christians, we are not of this world we are DIFFERENT!• We are children

of GOD, and of LIGHT• Imitate holy,

not evil things

Celebrate the True Light of the World … our LORD JESUS CHRIST & all His saints

ALL SAINTS DAY … ALLELUIA CELEBRATION!

THE MANNA

& THE

QUAIL

• God did wonderful miracles …10 plaguesParted the Red

SeaLed with pillar

of cloud & fire• To test their faith,

God led the Israelites into the desert

Hungry & tired, the people started to complain again!

“… you brought us into this desert to kill this whole assembly with hunger”

RED SEA

• In Egypt … they were beaten as slaves• But they had meat to eat

They missed being SLAVES!

“I have heard the grumbling of the Israelites. Tell them, ‘At twilight you will eat meat, and in the morning you will be filled with bread. Then you

will know that I am the Lord your God.“

3 RULES

1) Collect only what is needed2) Eat all before morning3) Collect twice as much on the 6th day

• That evening … flocks & flocks of quail came

• In the morning … a white powdery substance on the ground – tasted like wafers with honey!

• They praised God!

Not all obeyed …–Some left food until

morning, it stank & filled with worms … YUK!–Some collected too

much, but find they only had enough–Some went out on the

7th day, found nothing!

WHY ?!?!?God wanted to teach them:

1) NOT to be GREEDY2) To depend on God3) To be obedient

The Lord commanded Moses …“Fill an omer with the manna to be kept for your generations, so they may see the bread you ate in the desert when the Lord led you

out of the land of Egypt”

“I am the BREAD of LIFE” (John 6:35)

• OLD TESTAMENT –Manna from HEAVEN to feed

the Israelites • NEW TESTAMENT –WHO came down from HEAVEN

to feed us? Our Lord JESUS CHRIST!–He gives us His BODY & BLOOD

through COMMUNION

“I am the bread of life”

What is the symbol of MANNA?

THE LORD’S PRAYER …

“Our Father who art in heaven … give us

this day our daily bread …”

We ask our Lord to take care of us & provide for us

So PRAY, PRAY, PRAY!!!

So when we are scared …• CALL ON GOD …

Pray always, Jesus prayer

• BE THANKFUL … Don’t complain
