New Beginnings in Scripture

New Beginnings in Scripture

The Days of Unleavened Bread reveal a powerful biblical pattern of renewal, obedience, and cycles of new beginnings that runs throughout Scripture.

In this teaching from the final day of Unleavened Bread, we explore how living out the Torah brings a depth of understanding that academic study alone cannot provide. From the Exodus and Joshua to the Messiah’s death, resurrection, and future restoration, the Bible shows that God works according to appointed times (Moedim) and intentional cycles—not randomness.

This message examines why the work of redemption was not finished at the cross alone, how resurrection, ascension, and the giving of the Spirit fit into the larger plan, and why Scripture points forward to a future moment when all things are truly accomplished.

By walking through Passover, Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits, Shavuot, and the Jubilee cycle, we see how God repeatedly offers His people fresh starts, calling them to growth, repentance, and faithful obedience as they move toward the Kingdom to come.

First Fruits and the Resurrection of the Dead | Yeshua the Firstfruits Explained

First Fruits and the Resurrection of the Dead
This teaching explains the biblical meaning of First Fruits and why Yeshua (Jesus) is called the Firstfruits of the dead. Using Scripture from Leviticus 23, 1 Corinthians 15, Acts, Ezekiel 37, and the Gospels, this message walks through the biblical feast calendar, the resurrection timeline, and the hope of the resurrection of the dead.

Unlike modern tradition, Scripture teaches that the resurrection—not an immediate afterlife—is the foundation of first‑century faith. This video examines how First Fruits, Passover, and Unleavened Bread align perfectly with the death, burial, and resurrection of Yeshua, fulfilling both Torah and prophecy.

Topics covered include:

  • The Wave Sheaf / First Fruits offering
  • Why Yeshua rose on First Fruits
  • The resurrection as literal, future, and promised
  • Ezekiel’s dry bones and the first resurrection
  • The restoration of God’s Kingdom on earth

This message restores the original biblical hope: resurrection, renewal, and life in the coming Kingdom.

Jesus Didn’t Command Easter—He Commanded This

Jesus Didn’t Command Easter—He Commanded This
Jesus gave clear instructions on the night He was betrayed—before Passover. He took the bread and the cup, washed His disciples’ feet, and commanded us to do this in remembrance of Him. This happened on Abib 13, the night before Passover—not Easter. The Apostle Paul later confirmed this command in 1 Corinthians 11, teaching believers how to observe it under the New Covenant. If we know exactly what Jesus and the early believers practiced, why wouldn’t we do the same today? Learn how the early Christians commemorated the Messiah’s death and resurrection and how you can do this wherever you are. May Yahweh bless you and keep you, in the name of His Son, Yeshua.

Sukkot aka The Feast of Tabernacles

Sukkot aka the Feast of Tabernacles is an 8 day celebration in the fall that Christians are not only supposed to be observing today, all mankind must observe it in the future or they will starve. While that sounds harsh, it’s quite scriptural. This message is a primer to let Christians know what to expect at Sukkot, it’s history in the last 100 years in the United States, and which topics to avoid to have a peaceful gathering.

The Day of Atonement

The Day of Atonement, also known as Yom Kippur, continued to be kept by the Apostles until after the close of scripture.
