LOCAL POSTAL CUSTOMER It’s become a tradition at Christian Retreat. The annual celebration of the Feast of Tabernacles has drawn people to the Retreat, on the shores of the Manatee River, for the past 31 years. This year, Oct. 13- 20, the event features Rabbi Jonathan Cahn, best-selling author of “The Harbinger,” and acclaimed recording artist Paul Wilbur, along with many other speakers, singers, dancers and workshop leaders. Christians and Messianic Jews from many different congregations are expected to attend. The biblical Feast of Tabernacles, or “Succot,” Feast of Tabernacles Celebration at Christian Retreat By Joanne Curphey

is traditionally a season of joy and giving thanks referred to in Leviticus 23: 39,40, “On the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the fruit of the land, you shall keep the Feast of the Lord...and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God for seven days.” Pastor Phil Derstine explains, “For the Jews it historically commemorates God’s provision when the Israelites spent 40 years in the wilderness, living in makeshift shelters, or booths, known as ‘sukkot.’ In Israel, Jews today still build these booths, roofed with palm branches, outside their homes to remind them of the wilderness life of their ancestors.” At Christian Retreat, the 8-day celebration presents an opportunity to explore our Jewish roots, remembering that Jesus, or Yeshua, was a Jew who observed all the Jewish holidays. It is a joyous time, characterized by jubilant worship, colorful processionals, Israeli folk dancing, and insightful teaching about the meaning of the Feast and its prophetic significance to all believers. Tuesday evening features an international “Food Fest,” beginning at 6 PM. “Israel remains at the center of international attention,” says Pastor Phil, “and there’s a reason for that...Israel and the Bible are at the center of the Christian faith.” Full daily schedule can be seen at christianretreat.org. Meeting times are 10 AM, 7 PM, and workshops at 1:30 PM. The event is free, and the public is invited. Free-will offerings will be received. Christian Retreat is located east of Bradenton, off Rt. 64, on Upper Manatee River Road. Address: 1200 Glory Way Blvd., Bradenton, FL. Phone: 941-746-2882.

Luke 8:16 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light.

Luke 8:18 Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.

The lesson,

Jesus is lighting the way for all who will hear, BUT, He is the only way. Clinging to any other basis of salvation will be taken from you. Take heed how you hear Him, your eternity depends on it.
