The vast majority of Christians celebrate holidays which are commonly associated with things that we may consider to be Biblical in origin. Do the ancient origins of a religious holiday make a difference in God’s eyes? Does it really matter? Are we willing to give this serious consideration and make any needed changes in our thinking in this regard? In this sermon Prophecies of Hope evangelist Mark Martin considers these questions from both a historical and Biblical point of view.
