Leviticus 23 lists the Creator’s appointed times—Sabbath, Passover, Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits, Weeks (Pentecost), Trumpets, Day of Atonement, and Tabernacles. These festivals are God’s “appointed times” and sacred assemblies, not merely “Jewish holidays.” This Parashah Point explains the significance of each feast and shows how they reveal God’s plan of redemption and point to Messiah. Believers are encouraged to understand and honor these appointed times as part of God’s instruction for His people. Tue, 17 Dec 2024 18:39:44

Passover commemorates Israel’s deliverance from Egypt and points forward to Messiah. In this Parashah Point, we address common questions about observing Passover today. Exodus 12 commands Israel to observe this feast as a lasting ordinance and to memorialise the sacrifice of the lamb. We discuss whether believers today should slaughter a lamb and note that the Passover was originally a domestic festival without a temple or priest. The study encourages families to remember YHWH’s redemption through symbolic elements like unleavened bread and the cup. Tue, 17 Dec 2024 18:39:44

In this Parashah Point on Acharei Mot, we explore why the Creator cares about our sexual relationships. Leviticus 18 establishes that sexual intimacy is sacred and sets boundaries to protect families and communities. The teaching explains that commands like “You shall not lie with mankind as with womankind; it is an abomination” are part of God’s moral law and reveal His desire for holiness. Believers are encouraged to honor God with their bodies and relationships, resisting the immoral practices of surrounding cultures. Thu, 20 Mar 2025 13:14:38
