Feast Speakers and Their Topics
Baker,
Aaron
What is your legacy?
Our forefathers left us a legacy of religious freedom.
What you do in life becomes a product that you ultimately leave or turn over to
God. Will it be something that he wants to use?
Bensinger,
John
The Bitter
Waters: Past and Future
In the book of Numbers chapter
5 we read about the laws of jealousy and the bitter
waters. However, few realize that this chapter has more to do
with us now than in the days of old.
A Prophet Like Unto
Moses
How can we prove
that Yahshua was the true Messiah sent from the Father.
The Jews of the 1st century had certain expectations, as they do
today, regarding the Prophet spoken about in Deuteronomy 18.
Beltz,
Jonathan
How to receive blessings from God
Ways in which we should walk to receive the promised blessimgs according
to God’s will.
Bredehoft,
Leo
Music for Believers
They say, "There's no
accounting for taste." Does this hold for our music too?
Here's food for thought on the question.
Hear and Follow
Amid the proliferation
of books and sermons on the benefits of following the Lord, this
basic teaching of Scripture is as clear and true as it ever
was. Hear the message the Lord really wants us to hear.
Cacchio,
Lenny
The Welfare of the City: Jeremiah 29:4-7
We, the people of God, are in exile from our true
country, just as the people of God were in Jeremiah's day. God instructed
the exiles in

Adult Study: Gideon’s Relationship with God
Sometimes we wonder how some of the stories in the Old
Testament apply to our lives. In this study, we will look at how Gideon went
from asking God for reassurance in two different ways to being listed in the
“Hebrews 11 Faith Hall of Fame” and how we can apply it to our lives.
Adult Study:
The Creation Week, the Feasts, and the Plan of God
Everything in the Bible has meaning and application to
our lives today. In this study, we will look at some parallels between the days
of creation and corresponding feast days and how they combine to show us God’s
ultimate plan for us.
Teen/Young Adult Study: From One Generation to the Next
There are currently six generations we each interact with
at church and in our everyday lives. While there are perceptions and
characteristics that define these generations and how they see the world, there
are some things in life that are constant. The Bible is one of those constants,
however, can we set aside our biases, so that we can learn to apply the Bible
in our everyday lives?

Christian Stewardship, part 2: God, Science and
Politics - a continuing discussion
of the climate change controversy.
Edwards, Norm
Turning the Hearts of Parents
to Children
Parents rightly desire to
protect and teach their children when they are young. As children grow older,
parents must change to purposefully turn over responsibility to their young
people to so they will protect and teach themselves. Without such a plan, many
children never take responsibility for themselves, or they leave home and do it
on their own terms.
Turning the Hearts of Young
People to Parents
Young people can turn themselves into adults by learning
to deal with life’s issues in an adult way. They can help their parents realize
that they are going to leave home and
become adults in a few years. They can use adult methods to
enlist their parents’ help in this process, rather than engage in petty
arguments.
Faith to Face the Future
Even though our news is filled with horrible headlines
and there are usually no sound solutions in sight, we do not need to fear the
future. Christianity has grown and prospered even when it was illegal to be a
Christian—not through proper prophetic interpretation, but by the power of God.
Solutions for Teen Problems
This is an open discussion with teens about how to deal
with the difficult issues at school, church and home. God is bigger than all of
these things, and young people can always go to Him for help.
The Hidden Bible Teaching on
Apprenticeship
The often-used Hebrew word na’ar and the Greek pais
mean “apprentice”. In most Bibles they are translated “young man”,
“servant”, etc. and the concept of apprenticeship or mentorship is lost. We can
implement this mentorship concept today, for the physical and spiritual benefit
of our young people.
Port Austin Bible Campus:
Another Option in Development
PABC is a Christian community founded for the purpose of
mentoring and teaching practical skills to Seventh-day high school graduates,
bringing them together with older believers—some of which are old enough to
need some physical care, which young people can provide.
Gaffney,
Joshua
Teen: Substance over appearance. Can we look religious
and still miss the point?
Young Adult: Worshiping God. How can we truly worship
God?
Gaffney,
Matt
Adult Study: What
Will It Take For You To Leave Your gods?
A Journey From Our gods To The One True God - Examining
lessons from the history of
Adult Study: Where Did Your Bible Come
From?
The Bible translations we use today have traveled across
many a dusty road. When people talk about the history of Bible translations,
they use terms like Textus Receptus, Majority Text, Alexandrian, Byzantine,
Septuagint, and the list goes on and on. If these mean little or nothing to
you, then this seminar is for you. It will give a 50,000 foot view to
give you an overview of the subject. We will not be determining which Bible
translation is the best, but looking at how they came to be. You will be given
a chart to guide your future study and/or reference.

Lesson from the Sukkah/Tabernacle
In the past, present and future, the central symbol of
this Feast is a simple hut made from branches.
Does this structure only look back to the Israelite’s temporary
dwellings in the wilderness? We’ll
explore layers of meaning that point directly to our Saviour and will add depth
to this season.
The Birth Story
There is little doubt that our Messiah began His human
life - His “temporary dwelling” in the
fall. His death occurred during an
“appointed time”. Is it not likely that
his birth did also? We’ll look at the
inspiring account that may very well be an addition/extension to the theme of
this season.
“Hear O
In addition to the well known verses in Deuteronomy 6
other verses will be covered to clearly understand the Father’s summons to come
close into His presence, His admonition to listen very carefully and to give
heed to what He says so that we may have life and feel His love.
Girouard,
Dan
From the Mouths of Lions to the Bosom of the Emperor
This a multimedia presentation of the transition of
Christianity from a small Jewish Sect, through bloody persecution, to the
chosen religion of the Emperor of Rome, Constantine. It is an overview of
the first 400 years of Christianity and the geopolitics that drove the
religion in an alternate direction from its founders' teachings.
Unity with Diversity
This is a presentation that analyzes how Paul's words on
Unity from Eph 1:1-4 and Peter's words on Growth in Grace and Knowledge in 2
Pet 3:18 have been marshaled into battle against each other resulting in
division and the creation of countless Christian denominations. This
should not be. A thoughtful and scriptural course correction is
presented.
Gonzalo, Dennis
Redeeming the Time in This
Electronic World
We, in the western society, are inundated with electronic
devices which at first appear to make our life easier. However, many studies
are beginning to appear that warn of the dangers of this phenomena to our
relationships and consequently, the fabric of our society, including the
church.

trade, compares the relationship between the potter and the clay in a video to
vividly demonstrate the relationship between God and His people.

Jeff

Becoming Better Ambassadors.
I'll discuss my
thoughts on being ambassadors for God; our interactions with others, how we set
a positive example, and enable God to work through us. For the last portion I want to have the group
discuss how we can become better ambassadors.
Manning,
George
The
Biblical analogies from the book such as the Exodus and
individuals such as Joseph and Ruth will be discussed with the intent of
showing that all of creation tells us about God and that the creation is loaded
with amazing spiritual analogies that God has clearly designed.
Richards,
Lance and Nicole
