What did devout believers do differently on the Old Testament’s Day of Atonement than they did on other days? Could the two biblical clues to the answer suggest some radical differences that should be occurring in the lives of believers who live in the final Day-of-Atonement era of this world’s history?

God on the Docket

The Cleansing
The most solemn and momentous day of the year for ancient Israel may hold more parallels for God’s people today than many people realize, given our own momentous time in the history of our planet.

The Temple on Yom Kippur
Rightly understood and applied to these end times, Yom Kippur has a striking parallel to American Football, which makes it especially relevant to every one of us.

The Two Goats
Though the centuries-old theological controversy still rages over their identity, the two goats involved in the ancient Day of Atonement ritual may seem far removed from the practical issues of our daily lives—until Warren Buffet enters the picture, that is!

Sex in the Temple: What’s So Gay about That?

The Fourth Temple: The Last Imitation
Mimics can be irritating; imitators, entertaining. But the seven-faceted imitation-invitation of Scripture is the focal point of the temple’s message to our generation. Miss this, and you miss God’s special appeal and promise.

Michigan Advance Partners – Camp Meeting

When thousands of like-minded believers are gathered in the same room with the same purpose: to grow closer to our Lord Jesus, the atmosphere is unique.

This is the atmosphere of camp meeting: all of us together, worshipping our Lord. Christ says that when “two or three are gathered together in my name, I am there in the midst of them” (Matthew 18:19-20). In the Camp Meeting, thousands are gathered together, and Christ is indeed in the midst.

Camp meeting is something to look forward to year after year, for the prayer, and the fellowship, and the revival—but most importantly, for Christ’s presence drawing close to us and our families. Michigan Conference camp meeting would not be possible without Michigan Advance Partners (MAP), which is funded by the faithful giving of Christ’s church. One way to give regularly is to commit 1% of your monthly income to MAP, which will fund camp meeting and other projects and events that we hold close to our hearts.

Today’s loose change will go towards MAP to support camp meeting. You can also give through the Tithe & Offering envelope in the pews or utilize online giving. May the Lord bless you as you give and continue to bless our camp meetings as we seek to draw closer to Him.
