This week our culture prepares for an event that is absolutely antithetical to the Christian message. Halloween, is something in which many little children participate, dressed up in costume, without any understanding of the spiritual implications they are “toying” with. Many parents tell me how harmless this fun-night is. On the other hand, last week, I had a Nigerian pastor ask me why so many people have “black magic-witch-doctor shrines” at the front of their homes? That’s because the witch doctors in Africa practice for real, what we play with for fun! People who know the spiritual world, understand the enormous gravity of the halloween culture, and especially the spiritual impact it has on our children. This Sunday the Rev. Dr. Ed Hird will preach on this subject from the book of Isaiah. The title of his sermon is “No Longer Deserted at Halloween.” from Isaiah 62. This will be a challenging sermon!
So come, join us as we worship the triune God together. Here’s the announcement:
