“God has given us the privilege of discipling our children, grandchildren, and all who are following in our footsteps:
"Let each generation tell its children of your mighty acts; let them proclaim your power." - Psalm 145:4, NLT
The calendar gives both form and substance to that privilege. As we celebrate God's mighty acts together, we are connecting the next generation with a past. That past includes our individual family stories but also enfolds them in a story much greater and more beautiful than our own. The feasts form the structure for the task of discipleship God has given us.
God tells us in Deuteronomy 6:7 we are to repeat and keep on repeating to our children the commands he has given us. This repetition was meant to take place within the structure of a family's daily life and inside the context of an entire community participating in a weekly and yearly rhythm of feasts, fasts, and festivals.”

“It's ironic that while we have debated for a generation about worship music styles and preferences, I can't remember anyone ever questioning how our calendar affects our worship, forms our identity as followers of Christ, or calls us to live on mission in any way counter to popular culture.”
