Jews still observe this feast today it’s known as the “Sukkot” which derives its name from the Sukkah or temporary dwelling. Jesus tells us in (John 7:37-38) that he is the living water in combination as a reminder (John 8:12) Then Jesus spoke to them again saying, “I am the light of the world, he who follows me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” We find our Lord declaring the significance that he is Alpha and Omega the beginning and the end.

Jesus in the account of the four Gospels is seen to teach that God is our Father and seeks that kind of relationship with us. The Father-Son relationship of Jesus with the Father is seen in Jesus’ utterances (Mark 8.38; 14.36, Luke 2.49; 10.22, John 1.18; 5.17, 37 etc). Jesus is also seen to say that this Father is our very own Father and thus we should relate to Him likewise (Luke 6.36: 11.13 etc). This Father dwells in heaven (Matthew 5.16, 45; 16.1, 26). The term “Our Father” is from the word “Abba” which carried a more intimate sense of “daddy”.

A STUDY ON ISAIAH 9:1-7 BY DIANIA SPORISKY A STUDY ON ISAIAH 9:1-7 The Bible comforts and reminds those of us who have come to trust in Jesus Christ not to despair as if there was no hope. We have the revelation of our Lord that not only announces His sovereign reign but also charts the course of world events. One of the most significant revelations is found in Isaiah 9. Against the background of the prophecy of war and destruction, darkness and gloom (chapter 8) Isaiah gave this prophecy about the Messiah—the glorious coming king. “Messiah” is a Hebrew term that means “anointed one,” that is, the anointed king.

The Tabernacle From the beginning of time, men have been worshipping God. But it was not until God gave Moses the instructions for building the Tabernacle that a pattern of worship was given to man. In the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve communed with God in the “cool of the day” (Genesis 3:8). After the Fall, Abel made a sacrifice of the first of his flock and “the Lord had respect unto Abel and his offering” (Genesis 4:4). “Enoch walked with God” (Genesis 5:22).

October 13, 2011 Holy Spirit Journal Assignment 5 Acts Acts has been called "The Acts of the Apostles", ”The Acts of the Church" and “The Acts of the Holy Spirit”. There is truth in each title. The Holy Spirit acted upon the lives of the Apostles and they acted upon the lives of the people of Israel. The Spirit saved Paul and used him to impact the world. But the first "Act" was that of Jesus Christ, which we see in Acts 1:4-5: "Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about.
Religion is seen as mans attempt to reach God. Christianity teaches that the Bible is God’s way of trying to reach mankind.

The goal of a Christian is to develop a close relationship with God through (Word of God) the ministry of Jesus Christ and by the aid of the Holy Spirit. Jesus is the anointed one from God the Father who came to this world, to fulfill the Old Testament laws and prophecies. Jesus performed miracles which are recorded in the Gospels by the eyewitnesses.
