Feast of Trumpets (3 of 7)

Leviticus 23:23-25; Numbers 29:1-6; 10:1-10; Nehemiah 8:1-12; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18; 1 Corinthians 15:51-52
INTRO: The ''Feast of Trumpets'' was New Year's Day in Israel, today called ''Rosh Hashanah.'' It was a day for Israel to look forward and celebrate the future possibilities - as well as to rest from the past year of hard work and harvest! The mood was one of celebration.
It was a time for old wounds to be healed, new hopes were born, the harvest was finished and collected - the people enjoyed the rest that came from finished responsibilities; this was the order of the day and dreaming ahead! It was kicked off by blowing trumpets; everyone within hearing distance would come to celebrate a new day - and a happy new year!
ILLUS: God is no distant deity but a constant reality, a very present help whenever needs occur. So? So live like it. And laugh like it! [The apostle] Paul did. While he lived he drained every drop of joy out of every day that passed. -- Charles R. Swindoll in Laugh Again. Christianity Today, Vol. 37, no. 13.
PROP.SENT: The Word of God teaches us that we are to rest in God's grace which is more than sufficient to deal with our past - and to celebrate the life in Christ we now have and into eternity, to dream and be filled with the hopes of tomorrow and the walk of faith! Let the trumpets blast!

b. This would herald a time of focusing on ''newness'' and ''rest'' from the heavy responsibilities of the fall harvest which were now over!
