Growing In God with Gary Hargrave
Growing In God Podcast Program Number: GIG #284 Web Description: Do you ever struggle to believe that God truly loves you? Are you ever discouraged by the lack of unity among Christians?

Growing In God with Gary Hargrave
Growing In God Podcast Program Number: GIG #282 Air Date: 12/31/2025 My Resolution for the New Year Web Description: The period from the ascension of Christ to the present has been labeled the Church Age. In reality it should be called the Age of the Holy Spirit. Yeshua (Jesus) did not tell His disciples, “The Father will teach you how to have good churches.” He promised that they would be endued with power by the Holy Spirit and be His witnesses in the earth. My New Year’s resolution is to change my emphasis from church to being filled with the Holy Spirit first and endued with...

Growing In God with Gary Hargrave
Growing In God Podcast Program Number: GIG #281 Title: Christmas, Celebrating the Son of Man Web Description: The symbolism that most often defines Christmas is the Nativity scene. And the Nativity scene is about the reality that Christ, the Messiah, the Savior, the King of kings, was born and lived as a human being. At Christmas we are not celebrating His divinity. We are celebrating His humanity. We are celebrating the fact that He came to earth as a man who went through everything we go through and is thus able to lead us and help us through everything.

GIG280 Hanukkah—Do Not Be Conformed to this World
Growing In God with Gary Hargrave
Growing In God Podcast Program Number: GIG #280 Categories: Biblical Feasts Web Description: In Romans 12, Paul exhorts us not to be conformed to this world. That is what Hanukkah is all about. It expresses the refusal of the Jewish people to be converted into something that was against the will of God and against the teachings of God. We as believers in Yeshua (Jesus) should have the same resistance to the culture that is set to move us away from the Scriptures, away from our Christian values, and convert us to a different way of life. Hanukkah is not a substitute for Christmas....

Growing In God with Gary Hargrave
Growing In God Podcast Program Number: GIG #279 Categories: Biblical Feasts Web Description: Hanukkah may be best known for the lighting of the menorah and the miracle of the oil lasting for eight days in the Temple following the Maccabean revolt.

Growing In God Podcast Program Number: GIG #278 Title: Walking with God is Doing Web Description: How do we walk with God? By taking steps to act on what God is telling us to do.

Title: The Feast of Trumpets
Web Description: The Feast of Trumpets was a holy convocation, a day of celebration and rest, when all of Israel came up to Jerusalem to meet with God in anticipation that He was going to do something. This is now called Rosh Hashanah, and it is celebrated as the Jewish New Year’s Day. This appointed time has yet to be fulfilled in Christ, leaving the world to wonder what it will mean when the divine trumpet blows.
Show Notes: What God is doing in most of the feasts is clear. For example, Passover commemorates the blood of the lamb on the doorposts in Egypt that saved the Hebrew people from the death angel. What God is doing in the Feast of Trumpets is less clear. It is a holy convocation. It is a Sabbath rest. It is a day when trumpets are blown. But why?
The Feast of Trumpets is a day of celebration—the Hebrew word is zikkaron—which means a “memorial” as well as a “remembrance” or “reminder.” Each year this celebration memorializes God coming to earth on Mount Sinai where He announced His presence with the blast of a trumpet. We also remember God’s promise that He will once again return to the earth with the sound of a trumpet.
Today we look forward to that trumpet which has not yet sounded, but no one knows the day or the hour. So our response is to be prepared. The trumpet blast alerts us to the promise of Messiah’s return. May this prophetic cry be always on our lips: “Come, Yeshua. Your kingdom come. Your will be done, on this earth as it is in heaven.”
Key Verses:
• Leviticus 23:23–25. “You shall have a rest, a reminder by blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation.”
• Leviticus 23:24. “A holy convocation … a reminder by blowing of trumpets.”
• Numbers 29:1. “It will be a day to you for blowing trumpets.”
• Exodus 19:19. “When the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him with thunder.”
• 1 Thessalonians 4:16. “For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God.”
• Matthew 24:29-42. “And He will send forth His angels with a great trumpet.”
• Revelation 22:20. “Yes, I come quickly!”
Quotes:
• “So when we look at most of the appointed times or the feasts, the fasts, the celebrations that God appointed, it’s very clear what it is that Israel was celebrating. Not so with the Feast of Trumpets.
• “That’s what a trumpet blast is for: to get your attention.”
• “Now to me those are two very distinct things, and I think in the Feast of Trumpets both are taking place. We are to have a memorial and a reminder. A memorial is a celebration of something that took place historically. You build a monument; you memorialize an event in history. A reminder to me is more of something you are looking forward to. I have to remind myself of my to-do list, something I am supposed to do. So both of these really take place during Trumpets.”
Takeaways:
1. We anticipate the Feast of Trumpets because its fulfillment in Christ has not yet transpired.
2. The Feast of Trumpets is to get our attention and keep us alert.
3. Our response is to always be on the alert. Watch!
4. We should cry out, “Come, Lord Jesus!”
