Feast of the Tabernacles (Sunday School)

This 1999 Sunday School reflects on the joy and meaning of the Feast of Tabernacles, a celebration God commanded Israel to keep at the close of the harvest season. More than a festival, it was a time of rejoicing, remembrance, and renewal—a week when Israel lived in booths to recall their wilderness journey and to look up at the stars, remembering the promises made to Abraham. The study emphasizes how this feast pointed beyond Israel’s history to the hope of the kingdom, when God will dwell with His people and pour out showers of blessing upon the earth. Believers are reminded that just as Israel paused to give thanks and prepare for the season ahead, so disciples today are called to reflect on God’s blessings, examine their hearts, and prepare for the refreshing that will come from the presence of the Lord. It is a stirring reminder that we are strangers and pilgrims, journeying toward a city whose builder and maker is God, and that true sonship means living as children of the promise, shaped by His Word and looking for the day when christ returns to reign in glory.
