Every year at the start of October we start to see the Halloween theme come back into every store, cafe and corner shop. Ghosts, pumpkins, spiders and creepy costumes galore.. it's that time of the year, again. Whether Christians should celebrate Halloween or not is a controversial topic that divides people into three groups - those that have no issues with celebrating Halloween, those who are convinced it's demonic and that we should stay away from it, and then those who sit somewhere in the middle. Many will argue about this topic and push their own opinions, but what does the Bible say? How can we look to the guidance and teaching of Jesus to come to a biblically sound conclusion? While the Bible doesn't specifically use the word "Halloween" or give us guidance about dressing up, going to a Halloween party or trick or treating, we can certainly look to scripture to come to a conclusion about whether we should partake in holidays or events like this. In this video we will discuss the origins of Halloween, whether it's something we should be celebrating, a message to parents, and an encouragement to be set apart.
