11 - "What Would Jesus Do" on Halloween?
Oct 31, 2022
Seacoast Church

Many Christians grew up going to "Hallelujah Nights" and "Harvest Fest" celebrations on October 31st; but dressing up, going "trick or treating" and celebrating Halloween?  That's for #TeamSatan's biggest party of the year, where Christians have no business being.

But what about Christians who merely enjoy a night of dressing up, getting candy and having a little fun?  Is Halloween's questionable roots significant enough to merit a Christian boycott?  Jack Hoey rejects this notion and sees Halloween as an innocent night of fun for the kids.

Cheryl Brown, fellow "Seacoaster," has vastly differing convictions.  Refraining from Halloween celebrations, according to her, falls in line with God's desire for Christians to be "set apart."
