The Day the Curtain Was Torn: Yom Kippur 2025

Oct 12, 2025    Michael Ryan Stotler

Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, was the holiest day in Israelโ€™s calendar โ€” a day when the high priest entered the Holy of Holies to seek forgiveness for the nation. But today, the temple sacrifices have stopped. Why? And what does this mean for Christians?

In this sermon, Pastor Ryan explores the meaning of Yom Kippur, the destruction of the temple, and the once-for-all sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Discover why we no longer need a Day of Atonement โ€” because the curtain has been torn and we now have full access to God.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Questions for Reflection:

Am I still carrying guilt Jesus has already covered?

Am I trying to earn what God has already given in Christ?

How can I live daily in the freedom of Godโ€™s forgiveness?
