Passover Observance
Understanding the purpose of Passover should prompt us to celebrate it in a way that reverences our God and glorified the sacrifice of our Savior. The Passover serves as a reminder of how Elohim delivered His people out of bondage in Egypt. It also serves as a foreshadowing of deliverance for all mankind through the Passover Lamb, Yeshua.Things we can do today:
- Come together on the evening of the Passover day to partake in the Passover meal observance. During this observance it is important to retell the account of how God delivered His people out of bondage as chronicled in the Book of Exodus.
- Share the account of how Yeshua celebrated the Passover with His disciples and how He became our Passover Lamb from one of the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John). Share testimonies of how you were delivered from the bondage of sin through the blood of Yeshua.
- How God does not want us to remain in any form of bondage.
- How He has provided us the provision to deliver us from bondage, the Blood of Yeshua.
- How He desires that our deliverance is complete.
- How He corrects us because He loves us, even though it seems unpleasant to us.
- How He wants us to share His Story so that He is glorified, and others can be delivered.
Day of Crucifixion
The day of Passover was the day that our Savior, Yeshua, was crucified on the cross for our sins as our Passover lamb to save us from sin and death. Our fellowship service will be in remembrance of His sacrifice along with prayer, worship and fellowship.

Feast of Unleavened Bread
The Feast of Unleavened Bread is a week-long observance in which the Israelites were restricted from the use of leaven (yeast, etc.) in their cooking. It served as a reminder to the Israelites of how hard and futile it is to remove sin from our lives by our own strength.
Things We Can Do Today:
The Feast of Unleavened Bread Shows Us:
Things We Can Do Today:
- Assemble together on the first day for prayer and encouragement to follow this feast.
- Encourage the younger generation to list the foods that have leaven in it while trying to abstain from as much as possible.
- Assemble together on the last day of prayer to share testimonies of what the week taught you about removing sin from our lives.
- Rejoice together for God’s provision of a Savior and Holy Spirit to help us remove sin today.
The Feast of Unleavened Bread Shows Us:
- How well God knows and understands that we cannot be cleansed of sin by our own efforts.
- His overwhelming love and desire that we are made Holy before Him.
- His unfailing provision to give to us all that we need in order to commune with Him.
- His patience and wisdom to teach us through experience and still allow us to maintain the choice to apply what we have learned towards pursuing a relationship with Him.
Feast of First Fruits
The Feast of First Fruits begins the same time as the Feast of Unleavened Bread and lasted for a week. This was a time which each person was expected to provide an offering of the first increase/harvest of the season of the Lord. This was a direct provision for the priesthood as well as acknowledging to the Lord thanksgiving for His provision.
Things We Can Do Today:
Things We Can Do Today:
- Host a fellowship on any of the days and bring to Elohim the best of your increase to share with other believers on any of the days during the week.
- Remember Yeshua’s sacrifice on the cross for us. Thank Him for giving us the opportunity and access to enter into an intimate relationship with a Holy, Sovereign God.
- Actively provide for those that do the work of Elohim, send a gift, meet a need, be a blessing. By doing so, we actively show our gratitude to God for His provision.
- How Elohim provided His best to us, the First and Only Son, Yeshua, as our Provision and Atonement for sin so we could have the opportunity to enter into a relationship with Him.
- How He is most pleased when we provide and care for each other.
Resurrection Day Celebration
On the third day after Yeshua’s crucifixion, He rose from the grave and appeared to many throughout the week. Many miracles took place as He established His Sovereignty of being the Lamb of Elohim which cleanses the world from sin. We come together in prayer, worship, the word and fellowship to celebrate our Savior and our ability to enter into an intimate relationship with our Creator.
