Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Dec 5, 2024

How did the autumn offerings foreshadow Christ and the Christian life? Let's look at Numbers 29.

What were the feasts observed in the autumn? What do the sacrifices teach us? Why are they no longer necessary? Let’s look at Numbers 29. What was the offering to be made on the Feast of Trumpets?

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jun 11, 2021

By Faith, Abel offered a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain did. But what does that mean? What made the sacrifice more acceptable? And what can that mean for us?
