Part 4 of 8 in the summer sermon series, "The Feasts of the Lord" 1. Consider Leviticus 23:23–25 and Numbers 29:1-6. Describe the feast of trumpets together—the solemn rest, memorial trumpet and the food offering. 2. What is the relationship between the Feast of Trumpets and the Day of Atonement? Describe this relationship both chronologically and in meaning. 3. The Feast of Trumpets is a call to memorial preparation. Consider Mark 1:2–4, Luke 12:35–37 and 1 Thessalonians 4:16–18. How does the New Testament describe preparation for Christ’s atoning work and for his return? 4. Consider these categories of distractions Jeremiah described on Sunday: possessions that clutter our lives, worldly ambition, corporate ladders and wealth, popularity and fame, and particularly true in contemporary culture, entertainment. How might attention to the feast of trumpets call us to attention to solemn memorial of the things of the Lord?
