Traditions vs Truth | Should Christians Celebrate Halloween?

In this episode of the Discipleship Series, Pastor Elwood and Kayla Gabbard dive deep into the pagan origins of Halloween, exploring how this holiday began as the Celtic festival of Samhain, complete with spirit summoning, sacrifices, and witchcraft. They break down how many of the modern traditions — costumes, jack-o'-lanterns, trick-or-treating — are rooted in spiritual deception, not harmless entertainment.

Scriptures:
John 12:35 Then Jesus said to them, “A little while longer the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you; he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going.
36 While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light.” These things Jesus spoke, and departed, and was hidden from them.
Ephesians 5:8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light
9 (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth),
10 finding out what is acceptable to the Lord.
11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.
Romans 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,
19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them.
2 Corinthians 6:14 Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?
Matthew 15:3 He answered and said to them, “Why do you also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition?
Exodus 20:4 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth;
5 you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me,
