7 Feasts: Finding Christ in the Sacred Celebrations of the Old Testament

by Erin Davis

Overview

What’s the story behind all those feasts?

It’s hard to know when you read about the Feast of Booths why exactly it matters for your life. What in the world is the Feast of Trumpets supposed to be teaching you? And, in this case, the text itself doesn’t tell you. You need a resource, a guide that can help you understand the cultural significance and how these feasts relate to the rest of the Bible.

That’s exactly what Erin Davis does in this new 8-week Bible study, 7 Feasts. She’ll teach you:

• The significance of these feasts and why God wanted His people to celebrate
• How each of them point to Jesus and His work in redemption
• Why all of this matters for our lives today

You will discover that passages you once skimmed over are now rich and meaningful in your life today.

Few things make me happier than introducing women to hidden treasures in the Word of God. And that’s exactly why I’m thrilled to tell women about this study! In it, Erin takes you by the hand, skillfully uncovering the glories of Christ in the pages of our Bible we too often avoid. On top of giving you a clearer understanding of God’s character through the Old Testament feasts, this study will also teach you valuable Bible study tools for every book of the Bible. Don’t miss out on this gem.”

Erin’s 7 Feasts landed in my inbox just days after I had finished reading Leviticus on my own, and I sped through it, eager to add to my understanding of how it points to Jesus. Erin proved a compassionate and humorous guide as I filled the less-worn pages of my Bible with notes, discovering with awe how these ancient festivals connected to Jesus two thousand years ago and to modern believers today. As twenty-first century Christians, we no longer have to observe these feasts, but we get to study them to grow in our knowledge and love of Jesus—the One who fulfills it all and draws us into God’s presence—that we may remember and celebrate Him until we see Him face-to-face.

Erin, thank you for setting the table for those of us that want to dig in to God’s Word. 7 Feasts will give readers a hermeneutical fork and knife that will help them feed themselves and teach others to study God’s Word for themselves as well.
—Amy-Jo Girardier

This Bible study is amazing! Take Erin's hand and join her on an exciting journey to passages of Scripture that are quite unpopular. She will help you discover Christ and the gospel in unlikely places. I am sure that your heart will be fueled with hope!
