How can disciples grow when classes last only twenty-five minutes? How can teachers teach enough? How can learners receive enough? What if the better question is this: What if the Lord intended the shorter hour to create stronger learners? In The Twenty-Five Minute Learner, Taylor Halverson, Ph.D., offers a practical and deeply spiritual guide for getting more from every Sunday lesson. ...

What are the feasts and festivals of the Messiah? They are not just “Jewish holidays” that are defunct for Christians because the Law of Moses is fulfilled and the Jerusalem temple destroyed. Rather, the ancient feast and festival days were given to all of Israel to keep forever.
