First Fruits....שבועות

First Fruits....שבועות As we enter into a time of one of the three pilgrimage feasts, what can we draw from it.. Shavuot was one of the three required feasts, yet it often takes a back seat... Why is that? Exodus 34:21-23 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 21 “You shall work six days, but on the seventh day you shall rest; even during plowing time and harvest you shall rest. 22 You shall celebrate the Feast of Weeks, that is, the first fruits of the wheat harvest, and the Feast of Ingathering at the turn of the year. 23 Three times a year all your males are to appear before the Lord [a]God, the God of Israel.” What else Has Happended on Shavuot? Well, read Acts 1 and 2. What is our response to such an outpouring...Well rav Shaul said...Romans 8:23 “And not only this, but also we ourselves, having the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our body.” So we yearn for that we can’t yet have, but do we live for striving to fulfill that.. How about you?

We are moving the youth service from Saturday the 2nd to 10:30 am at Broad Ripple Park for Memorial day picnic. See you there.
