"Passover," the first of the three feasts that God calls His own, has come and gone! This holy week initiated and determined a special harvest of Grace, Favor & Protection for us this year! The purpose for this season or appointed time is not only to celebrate and remember the greatest love sacrifice at Calvary by our Savior and Redeemer, Jesus, but also for God to open the windows of heaven and pour out such a blessing that it would sustain us the entire year.
So as the feast of Purim prepared our hearts for experiencing the anointing of Passover and not only having the best Passover season here at Church on the Rock as we celebrated the Lord's Supper, Good Friday, and the Resurection, we also participated in the feast of First Fruits. This is where each one of us gave their "best" offering by planting a financial seed for our investment in God's kingdom financial system. It was an awesome week spent in the presence of God!
Monday, the 25th of April, at sundown, we finished the Passover season with praise & worship during our corporate prayer. This begins the next season here - the upcoming Feast of Weeks, or Shavout, we call Pentecost. So, for the next seven weeks we will prepare our hearts with a seven-part series entitled "The Gifts of the Holy Spirit." Look for the weekly teachings on our website if you would like to join us as we go forward into the season of Pentecost.
"For lack of knowledge, My people perish..." Hosea 4:6 Don't miiss the revelation and impact of Pentecost on your Christian life.
