HOLY WEEK - INTRO

Rosh Hashanah: A Light Reset for the Return

The shofar is sounding. Can you hear it?

This week marks Rosh Hashanah—the Jewish New Year and the beginning of the Days of Awe. But for believers, this ancient feast carries profound meaning as we prepare for the return of our Bridegroom.

Why This Week Matters

Rosh Hashanah isn't just about calendar change. The Hebrew word teshuvah means "return"—and that's exactly what this season calls us to do. Return to first love. Return to the Source. Return to readiness.

Jesus connected Himself to the Jewish feasts for a reason. When the midnight cry rings out—"Here is the Bridegroom! Come out to meet Him!"—those who are ready will recognize the sound. The shofar blast echoes that same urgent call.

Your Light Reset

Over the next seven days, we're walking through a simple but powerful reset:

• New Beginnings that God is already creating

• Return that positions you for His return

• Remembrance that builds faith for what's coming

• Renewal through divine creation, not human effort

• Release that makes room for His filling

• Rejoicing that strengthens you for the journey

• Rest that demonstrates trust in His timing

This isn't about religious obligation. It's about trimming your lamp and refilling your oil before the Bridegroom comes.

What Comes Next

After this Holy Week, we're launching KingdomXP—a new Bible study format designed for sustainable formation and deeper encounter. Consider this week your preparation for what God wants to do in the months ahead.

The wise virgins weren't ready by accident. They prepared beforehand. They carried oil. They kept their lamps burning.

That's what this week is about.
