Most of us have amazing memories of family and/or church traditions for celebrating holidays. The purpose of these traditions, at least initially, is to help us remember specific events important to our history – though sometimes we get distracted and shift our focus to the celebration itself. Regardless, traditions have a powerful impact on us, especially at young ages, and represent a wonderful and fun mechanism that can be utilized to pass down our religious heritage to future generations.

 

The study this quarter takes three different “views” of the theme of tradition, using many passages from both the Old and New Testaments. Included are the traditions by which we honor God, observe special occasions in life, and celebrate holy times together.

 

I pray your study of these precious Scripture passages will be a true blessing for you this quarter and will inspire you to a deeper commitment to and a more dynamic worship of our amazing Heavenly Father.

 

To God be the glory,

Steve Osborn
